Rune Rankings Explained
Best Rune per Discord FAQ — highest flat damage (pre-Massive Update)
The highest flat damage rune in the game. Havoc Rune provides the strongest raw damage multiplier of all runes, making it the recommended first rune for new players and endgame builds alike. Added in the Huge Update (March 10, 2026) and confirmed as the Best Rune by the official Discord FAQ.
+59% DMG at max — reliable and versatile
A powerful flat damage bonus rune. Wrath Rune scales from +40% DMG at base to +59% DMG at max level, making it a reliable and versatile damage option for all builds.
+15% Luck at max — essential for farming builds
The only luck-boosting rune in the game. Fortune Rune scales from +10% Luck at base to +15% Luck at max. Essential for farming builds since Luck is a rare and hard-to-stack stat.
Best DPS rune — +112% DMG max (Lv.60), Infinite Tower only. Surpasses Havoc Rune.
The best damage rune in the game, surpassing Havoc Rune. Primordial Rune is a Secret rune added in the Massive Update (March 25, 2026) exclusively from the Infinite Tower. Provides +84% DMG at base, scaling to +112% DMG at max level (Lv.60). Less than 1% drop rate from Tower floors. A bug preventing it from dropping was fixed at 19:22 March 25.
+26% Luck max (Lv.60), Infinite Tower only — best farming rune [provisional]
A Secret rune added in the Massive Update (March 25, 2026), obtained exclusively from the Infinite Tower. The Radiant Rune provides a Luck bonus, improving drop rates for rare items across the game — complementing Primordial Rune which focuses on damage. Exact max value is +26% Luck at max level.
How We Rate Runes
Key Factors
- •Bonus value at max level (Lv50) — the most important factor; runes are compared at full investment.
- •Versatility — flat damage bonuses work for every build; niche effects (freeze, bleed) score lower.
- •Community consensus — Discord FAQ, allthings.how, and pockettactics rankings cross-referenced.
- •Synergy — how well the rune interacts with top-tier clans, swords, and builds.
Rune System Rules
- •Only 1 rune can be equipped at a time — choose the one that best fits your build.
- •All runes drop exclusively from the Rune Dungeon (requires Dungeon Key).
- •Max level is Lv50, requiring 502 duplicate copies of the same rune.
- •Rune drop rates increase on Hard and Extreme dungeon difficulties.
Recommended First Rune
Always target Havoc Rune first — it provides the highest flat damage bonus of all runes and is confirmed as "Best Rune" by the official Discord FAQ. Once you have Havoc Rune at a decent level, the second priority depends on your build: Fortune Rune for farming builds (only luck rune in the game) or Wrath Rune as a reliable damage alternative.
