Runes are essentially the best way to ensure survival in the later levels. You will be able to get health boosts, attack boosts and even achieve invincibility for a short duration in the game. These runes are divided into two categories of Sword and Shield, and have four rank rows. You will be able to buy in any combination of Runes without having to purchase the previous Rune, as long as you have a high enough rank.
However, you will be able to equip one Rune from each row at a time. Here are my top picks for the best runes of the game.
Sword
Alacrity
Higher fire rate and reload rate will make your gun work faster. Recommended for SMGs.
Aftershock
This combined with Courage will ensure the enemies that are pushed back also lose health.
Wild Magic
More splash damage. The Glass Cannon is also a great option if you have the health boosts in Shield.
Cadence
This is a game-changer for the first few minutes of the game with the Piercing shot as you’ll be able to group the enemies together and quickly take them down.
Shield
Courage
The knockback will help you get out of tight situations when you’re out of ammo.
Elemental Shield
Being invincible even for a second will save your life over and over in the same game especially if you have highly upgraded Freeze and Burn abilities.
Healing
HP drops will ensure that you have plenty of health on the map, ready for you to pick up whenever you need it. It is not added automatically unlike the Growth Rune, so you can save it for when you want to use it.
Growth
Healing every 5th level will ensure that you’re never low on health throughout the game. This helps a lot for the first few minutes of the game when you don’t have enough enemies to get an HP drop.
