Relic synergies happen when passive items amplify each other into a build identity. The best examples are understandable individually but explosive when the player sees the connection.

Example
Slay the Spire relics like Kunai, Shuriken, and Ornamental Fan reward multi-attack decks. Hades keepsake, boon, and weapon combinations create similar passive identity shifts.

Relic synergies matter because they are the moment a run starts feeling authored by the player instead of handed over by RNG.
