I have escaped with 5 relics on over 40 times now and many, many of them were with 0 downs. I have escaped with a team where 20 relics were in action(sloppy but fun). communication and team work is key.
I play with one hand and have a high score of 412,000 (Too Playa on xbox) and have broke the 400,000 mark 5 times now. you cant get a score over 400,000 by sitting back and letting your team do all the work but it does require a decent team.
My 5 relic escapes aren't a result of me hiding behind my team either. You get score based on team work and personal skill so to achieve a score over 400,000 it takes more then just hiding behind your team.
The people with 5 relics on hiding behind their team don't escape often or at all and are more likely to ruin the experience for the rest of the team.
escaping with 5 relics is far from impossible. If I can do it playing with one hand then anyone can do it if you try hard enough.
