This list isn’t set in stone, but it’s a good set that increases both your Rage bar, and stun damage while protecting you from the many status effects that Gna can apply to you. You could take Remedy of the Bifrost over Regenerating Essence if you want a way to restore lost health due to Bifrost damage which Gna uses a fair bit.

Best Relics For Gna
| Name | Description | Notes |
| Hilt of Angrvadall | Slash forward three waves of light that deal increased damage against enemies afflicted with Sonic. | The only downside of this relic is its cooldown, it does a lot of stun damage if all three hits connect, and it can interrupt attacks. |
| Hilt of Gram | Grants a burst of Rage and applies Stun to nearby enemies. | More Rage is always good, and the bonus stun damage is always nice. |
| Hilt of Hofud | Distort space and time by creating a Realm Shift. | Great for Realm Shift builds, OK on its own. |
| Talisman of Meign | Grants a bonus to melee damage for a short duration. | A bonus to melee damage is always pleasant, but you won’t get much opportunity to make use of it. Best used after you’ve avoided Gna’s attack, and you have a short opening. |
