Rune Applications[]

A Rune Fencer can unleash either offensive or defensive energies depending on the abilities they use. These abilities are affected by the runes they've harbored using Rune Enchantment. The number of runes a Rune Fencer may harbor increases as they level.

  • Wards are abilities that reduce elemental damage, increase the rune fencer's defensive prowess, and do not require the expenditure of harbored runes to activate.
  • Effusions are abilities that add elemental damage to attacks and increase the rune fencer's offensive prowess, but harbored runes must be expended to activate them.
