Relativism is the first of its kind as it is an Exotic Class Item, which has never been seen before in Destiny 2. Additionally, Relativism is even more unique as it is the first exotic to come with true random rolls.
While other exotics roll random stats, Relativism instead steals components of other exotic perks from other exotics, making it truly special.

How good is Relativism
Relativism’s value depends on the state of Prismatic Hunter, as this Exotic Class Item only works when you have a Prismatic subclass equipped. This exotic’s quality also depends on how good the randomly rolled exotic traits you have on your roll of Relativism.
Despite this dependence on a number of factors doesn’t detract from the fact that there are incredibly powerful perk combinations available on Relativism, and it is an absolute must-have for anyone looking to make some broken Prismatic Builds.

Some of the Best Rolls for Relativism
Spirit of Caliban and Spirit of the Liar
The combination of Spirit of Caliban and Spirit of the Liar is a pretty deadly combo as it takes the incredibly high damage from Liar’s Handshake and the explosive capabilities of Caliban’s Hand and meshes them together to create one of the best AoE, high damage builds in the entire game. The Combination Blow and Gambler’s Dodge loop works perfectly with this build and allows you to dive into the fight, deal ridiculous melee damage against a tanky enemy, and watch the enemies around it ignite in a high-damage explosion.
Spirit of the Ophidian and Spirit of the Wormhusk
This combination is geared much more towards PvP players, as it massively improves the neutral game by taking the high handling speed bonus of Ophidian Aspect on Warlock and pairing it with Wormhusk’s Crown’s heal-on-dodge. This combo is a major quality-of-life roll, and is brilliant for Hunters that want some direct bonuses without having to worry about build crafting.
Spirit of Renewal and Spirit of the Cyrtarachne
Spirit of Renewal and Spirit of the Cyrtarachne will allow you to turn into the tankiest Hunter the world has ever seen. By using Duskfield Grenades alongside this combo, throwing a Duskfield at your feet will grant you Woven Mail from Cyrtarachne and damage-reducing properties of Duskfield Grenades, when combined with Renewal, will make you outrageously tanky.
