Gear in Nexus Anima: Relics, Strands, and Principles

Three systems shape a team. Here's what each one does.

Three kinds of gear matter in battle.

  • Relics are single pieces you equip to an Anima for stats and an effect. There are no set bonuses. See all relics.
  • Nexus Strands fire an effect when the battle starts, like a shield, an opener, or crowd control. See all strands.
  • Exclusive Principles are a character's signature leader effect. The active leader's Principle triggers at the start. See all principles.

Numbers and effects are from the beta and will shift, but the shape of each system is already clear.
