The Tabletop Relics of Warhammer Survivors
In a clever nod to Games Workshop's tabletop wargaming heritage, many of the most powerful passive relics in Warhammer Survivors take the form of miniature hobby supplies and gaming accessories. These relics are far more than aesthetic jokes: they provide essential stat multipliers that scale your entire loadout and serve as mandatory catalysts for weapon evolutions.
To see which weapons pair with each passive relic, refer to our comprehensive Evolution Recipes List and core Evolution Guide.

Focus: The Omnipresent Dice Cube
The Dice Cube is widely considered the single most valuable passive relic in the game. Critical hits in Warhammer Survivors deal 200% base damage and often trigger secondary effects (such as the Eviscerator's life-leech sustain).
By upgrading the Dice Cube to rank 5, you grant a baseline +25% critical strike chance across all six active weapon slots. When combined with the Boltgun Evolution, the resulting Heavy Bolter tears through elite enemy shields with devastating regularity.
Focus: The Tape Measure
Area of effect (AoE) scaling is vital for surviving the 15-to-25 minute swarm spikes. The Tape Measure passive expands the physical dimensions of melee hitboxes, explosion radiuses, and protective aura rings.
When paired with the Chainsword Evolution, the Tape Measure ensures that the spinning Eviscerator blade repels enemies long before they come within melee strike range of your champion.
Prioritizing Passive Drafts
When choosing passives during a run:
- Evolution Keys First: Secure the passive needed for your primary weapon (e.g. Gauntlet for the Lasgun Evolution or Dice Cube for the Boltgun).
- Mobility & Economy: Prioritize Movement Speed (Sabaton) and XP Magnet (White Dwarf) to keep pace with swarm scaling.
- Defense vs. Damage: For durable champions like Malum Caedo, offensive relics like the Dice Cube offer better clear speed, whereas squishier ranged heroes benefit from Armor Gauntlets.
- Permanent Upgrades: Invest your run gold in persistent stat perks in the Armoury Meta Progression.
