Are traps relics?

    Basically, if a rune has lay trap, and another rune has relocate: relic or relic guardian, can it synergize with the traps laid?

    No, most traps are not relics. "Lay Trap: X" abilities generate a terrain element, rather than a tangible object. Some champions have abilities that deploy relics, though, and one of those may be a trap. An especially common one is "Deploy: Land Mine," which creates a stealthed Land Mine relic.

    Bone trap is a relic
    Acid, fire, frost, poison, and rock are all terrain modifiers.

    Technically, there is also a Rock Trap relic, which can be produced by Shallaxy the Courier or deployed from the runedock, but that is separate from the Physical-Damage traps produced by the ability Lay Trap: Rock.

    It depends upon the kind of trap.

    explain if you got the time, which ones are and which ones aren't (and what's the deal between real and summons)

    The second post in this thread covers the basics. Anything generated by the original "Lay Trap: X" abilities is a terrain element, not a relic, while anything which stealths and occupies actual space is a relic. Any trap which is Summoned is also a relic, as it must have substance to hold the Summoned modifier.

    so basically the answer is that all traps besides the "lay" ones, are relics and can be relocated

    correct?

    In short, yes.

    champion generated relic traps may no longer contest fonts.

    These are the kinds of threads that should be in GD, instead of all that fluff, zealotry and the collection of useless threads posted by certain 3 people.

    Lol yay, I pose good questions...

    But to reiterate... The Silverclan Tinkerer skill doesn't lay a relic.

    Correct. He grants the ability to generate terrain-layer objects.

    This well-articulated thread is a cracking exemplar of why Pox is rather impenetrable to many potential new players. :(
