If I can put tenacity on my deathlocke lux then I see no reason I should not be able to put direct hit on an axe especially after they’ve made it scale on guaranteed direct hits.

The reason I ask now is that it will be extremely unlikely to be revised when the relic is completed. I have a modest collection of completed relics beside these - 7 zodiac, 8 anima, 2 eureka and around a dozen blade’s - with varying other substats. Preciously in the stat allocation stage of the non-eurekan relics I had a very much more granular option, letting me allocate ~2.5x statcap to whichever option I pleased. Now I must fully fill 2 partially fill one and leave one empty, reducing options.
