Welcome, The Chosen One! Heroes serve as the primary combat units in every battle within Rune Seeker. The ultimate goal of manipulating Runes and Terrain is to optimize the abilities of our Heroes, ensuring they can defeat enemy Heroes to secure victory. This article will introduce basic information as well as important and unique aspects about Heroes that players should know.

Each Hero will have the following basic information:

Element: Each Hero belongs to one of the four Elements: Aqua (Water), Ignis (Fire), Aer (Wind), or Terra (Earth).

Default actions: Each Hero possesses one of three default attack types: normal attack, healing, and idle.

Skills: Each Hero has three default skills: Skill of the Star, Skill of the Moon, and Skill of the Sun. These skills can be either Active or Passive.

Elemental Affinity: Ranges from ⭐ to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. The higher the number of stars, the greater the bonus the Hero receives from Terrain of the same Element as the Hero in battle.

Equipment: Each Hero has a set of equipment (gear) consisting of four pieces: Weapon, Armor, Ring, and Talisman.

For details of Elemental Affinity and Equipment, please read <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/overview-of-heroes-in-rune-seeker-(p.2)" style="">Overview of Heroes P.2</a>.

Rune are stones broken from Ancient Tablets during the Age of Creation. Each Rune consists of two Rune Shards:

On the left is the Absorption Rune, used on the Hero or Enemy.

On the right is the Creation Rune, used on the Terrain tile to change the properties of that terrain.

Each Rune Shard has its own weight index, ranging from 1 to 3 skulls. Therefore, the total weight of each Rune will range from 2 to 6 skulls.

A Hero's EQL is the maximum number of skulls they can hold. The higher the EQL, the more Runes they can bring into battle.

Note: Attaching Runes is an important feature of Heroes because players can strategize by combining Heroes with high attack power but low EQL with Heroes that are not as strong but have superior EQL, or vice versa, depending on their tactical orientation.

Players can bring up to three of their Heroes into battle. The player's mission is to manipulate Runes and Terrain to enhance the power of their Heroes while endeavoring to defeat all Enemies and emerge victorious.

The contrast between Elements also grants your Hero an advantage or disadvantage when facing Enemies of another Element.

Example: an Ignis elemental Hero will deal 20% more damage when attacking an Aer elemental Hero, and vice versa; an Aer Hero will inflict 20% less damage when attacking an Ignis Hero.

Note: Read the article on <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/the-elements-in-rune-seeker" style="">Elements&nbsp;</a>for details.

Heroes are not only crucial in battles but also play a significant role in mining and production activities at the Base. Players can assign the management of each Building at the Base to any Hero. Buildings managed by a Hero will gain additional levels as follows:

1 level for Buildings managed by a Hero with a different Element.

2 levels for Buildings managed by a Hero with the same Element as the Building.

For further information about the Base, please refer to this <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/base-your-citadel" style="">article</a>.

Currently, players can hatch Sacred Eggs at the Sacrificial Altar building to receive random Heroes.

There are two ways to obtain Sacred Eggs:

By using resources to create Eggs at the Sacrificial Altar. 

Dear The Chosen One, I trust this article will provide you with a better understanding of Heroes. In <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/overview-of-heroes-in-rune-seeker-(p.2)" style="">Part 2</a>, I will introduce the last two equally important aspects related to Heroes: Equipment Upgrades and Elemental Affinity. Stay tuned!

overview of heroes in rune seeker (p.1)

Hello, The Chosen One! The Four Elements, including&nbsp;Aqua (Water), Ignis (Fire), Aer (Air)&nbsp;and Terra (Earth), are fundamental aspects of the world of Rune Seeker. Most objects in the game, including Terrain, Heroes, and Buildings, carry one of these four Elements.

These Elements oppose each other according to the principle: <span class="cdx-tool-tip cdx-entity-icon" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://s3-dev.runeseeker.com/v3/elements/09b5775e-2d02-4b4d-8149-dc5303230eee-small-image-128.webp?v=1712799431099&quot;);" data-entity-type="elements" data-entity-id="09b5775e-2d02-4b4d-8149-dc5303230eee" data-entity-field="languages.desc">Ignis overcomes <span class="cdx-tool-tip cdx-entity-icon" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://s3-dev.runeseeker.com/v3/elements/541cab92-8a9c-46af-99ea-ad34f5057498-small-image-128.webp?v=1712799472873&quot;);" data-entity-type="elements" data-entity-id="541cab92-8a9c-46af-99ea-ad34f5057498" data-entity-field="languages.desc">Aer, <span class="cdx-tool-tip cdx-entity-icon" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://s3-dev.runeseeker.com/v3/elements/541cab92-8a9c-46af-99ea-ad34f5057498-small-image-128.webp?v=1712799544130&quot;);" data-entity-type="elements" data-entity-id="541cab92-8a9c-46af-99ea-ad34f5057498" data-entity-field="languages.desc">Aer overcomes <span class="cdx-tool-tip cdx-entity-icon" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://s3-dev.runeseeker.com/v3/elements/de99421a-521c-4ac1-b6b7-4b986b9ea464-small-image-128.webp?v=1712799582594&quot;);" data-entity-type="elements" data-entity-id="de99421a-521c-4ac1-b6b7-4b986b9ea464" data-entity-field="languages.desc">Terra, <span class="cdx-tool-tip cdx-entity-icon" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://s3-dev.runeseeker.com/v3/elements/de99421a-521c-4ac1-b6b7-4b986b9ea464-small-image-128.webp?v=1712799604403&quot;);" data-entity-type="elements" data-entity-id="de99421a-521c-4ac1-b6b7-4b986b9ea464" data-entity-field="languages.desc">Terra overcomes <span class="cdx-tool-tip cdx-entity-icon" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://s3-dev.runeseeker.com/v3/elements/637ab943-fdc7-4620-a95a-64076e655afa-small-image-128.webp?v=1712799622851&quot;);" data-entity-type="elements" data-entity-id="637ab943-fdc7-4620-a95a-64076e655afa" data-entity-field="languages.desc">Aqua, and <span class="cdx-tool-tip cdx-entity-icon" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://s3-dev.runeseeker.com/v3/elements/637ab943-fdc7-4620-a95a-64076e655afa-small-image-128.webp?v=1712799647875&quot;);" data-entity-type="elements" data-entity-id="637ab943-fdc7-4620-a95a-64076e655afa" data-entity-field="languages.desc">Aqua overcomes <span class="cdx-tool-tip cdx-entity-icon" style="background-image: url(&quot;https://s3-dev.runeseeker.com/v3/elements/09b5775e-2d02-4b4d-8149-dc5303230eee-small-image-128.webp?v=1712799661202&quot;);" data-entity-type="elements" data-entity-id="09b5775e-2d02-4b4d-8149-dc5303230eee" data-entity-field="languages.desc">Ignis. This contrast brings advantages or disadvantages to all objects in the game, depending on the Element they belong to and our game design (as the development team).

In this article, I will detail how Elements function and impact important objects in Rune Seeker.

Heroes are the primary combat units that players can deploy in battle. Each Hero belongs to one of the four Elements mentioned above. Due to the contrast between these Elements, Heroes may have advantages or disadvantages when facing opponents of different Elements.

For instance, a Hero of the Ignis element will deal 20% increased damage when attacking a Hero of the Aer element. Conversely, an Aer Hero will deal 20% less damage when attacking an Ignis Hero. For further details, see the table.

In addition, each hero also has an Elemental Affinity index, calculated from 1 to 5 stars. The higher the number of stars, the greater the bonus the hero will receive from Terrain of the same Element in battle. For more information, please read our article on <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/overview-of-heroes-in-rune-seeker-(p.2)" style="">Heroes</a>.

Terrain tiles on the field are categorized into two types: Plains (non-elemental Terrain) and Elemental Terrain.

Heroes will gain certain stat bonuses when standing adjacent to Terrain tiles of the same Element. And vice versa, the stats are significantly reduced if the Hero stands next to Terrain of the Element that opposes theirs.

For example: Each Lv.2 Fire Terrain tile will increase the ATK of the adjacent Ignis Hero by 14%. For detailed information on the impact of Terrain on 1-star Elemental Affinity Heroes according to Elemental rules, see the table.

Note:&nbsp;To learn everything about Terrain, check this <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/understanding-terrain-in-rune-seeker" style="">article</a>.

Most Creation Runes possess abilities that revolve around transforming Terrain Elements in battle to give your side an advantage. And some of them can even summon powerful entities from the Terrain such as Spirits or Troops. These entities possess different formidable abilities, depending on the Element of the Terrain they are summoned from.

List of Spirits corresponding to each Element:

List of Troops corresponding to each Element:

The Building is responsible for producing and exploiting the resources and items necessary for your journey in Rune Seeker. Each Building has its own unique function and can be upgraded to increase its productivity.

Basically, there are two ways to upgrade buildings:

- Arrange the location of the Building at the Base.

- Authorize the management of the Building to a Hero with the same Element or not.

For more details about Buildings, please read this <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/base-your-citadel" style="">article</a>.

Dear The Chosen One! We hope the information provided above has given you a clear and detailed understanding of how Elements function and influence key aspects within the world of Rune Seeker. May it aid you in your journey and lead you to countless moments of joy and triumph!

The Elements in Rune Seeker

Hello, The Chosen One! Terrain has the ability to enhance or diminish a Hero's power, all thanks to the rule of the Elements. Therefore, during battles, by utilizing Creation Runes, players can manipulate and transform the Terrain to maximize the advantage of allied Heroes while weakening the strength of the Enemies.

In this article, we will delve into everything you need to know about Terrain in battles within the world of Rune Seeker.

When entering battle, the field is displayed on the player's screen and is divided into two symmetrical territories, ensuring balance and fairness for the two opposing sides.

As illustrated, the field consists of small hexagonal tiles arranged in a chessboard-like pattern. These tiles are referred to as Terrain tiles. The two symmetrical territories are connected through an object in the middle known as the Observatory Tower (refer to section 3 of the article for details about the Observatory Tower).

All Terrain tiles are randomly generated by the system, ensuring each battle presents a unique challenge for the player.

Otherwise, throughout the battle, these Terrain tiles can be altered frequently based on decisions made by the player and the Observatory Tower.

a)&nbsp;Terrain classification&nbsp;

There are two types of terrain on the field: Plains (non-elemental) and Elemental Terrain (Ignis, Aqua, Terra, or Aer).

Plains have no levels and do not affect the Hero.

Elemental Terrain has two levels: Level 1 Terrain and Level 2 Terrain.

Heroes receive certain advantages when standing next to Terrain tiles of the same Element. Conversely, Heroes will face disadvantages when standing next to Terrain tiles of an opposite Element. The advantages (and disadvantages) that Level 2 Terrain provides are always greater than those of Level 1 Terrain.

List of Terrain types of the corresponding Element, and their effects on 1-star Heroes:

*Note: The beneficial stats gained from Terrain are also affected by the Hero's Elemental Affinity level (from 1-&gt;5 stars). The higher the number of stars, the more advantage that Hero receives from the Terrain of the same Element in battle. For details, read the <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/overview-of-heroes-in-rune-seeker-(p.2)" style="">Hero</a> article.

When 3 Terrain tiles of any level belonging to the same Element are adjacent to each other, they combine to form a Great Terrain. The effect of Great Terrain on Heroes is similar to that of Level 2 Terrain; however, Great Terrain cannot be altered or affected by players or the system during the battle.

For example, if three terrain tiles of the Terra element are adjacent to each other, they combine to form the Terra Great Terrain tile.

During battle, players can use Creation Runes to transform Terrain tiles on the field, thereby increasing their side's advantage. Specifically, Creation Runes can:

Summon various powerful entities such as Troops, Spirits, Statues, etc.

Perform other abilities such as teleporting a Hero's position, dealing damage to Heroes, etc.

Please not that Great Terrain cannot be affected by any Rune.

At the end of each turn, after all Heroes on both sides have completed their actions and are ready to move on to the next turn, the Observatory Tower will target any 2 objects (Hero or Terrain tile) and perform separate random effects for each subject.

If the target of the Observatory Tower is a Hero, the possible effects include:

Dealing damage equal to 10% of that Hero's maximum Health.

Recovering 20% of that Hero's maximum Health.

Removing all Debuffs that the Hero is carrying.

If the target of The Observatory Tower is a Terrain tile, the possible effects include:

Change the Element of that Terrain tile. 

Upgrade that Terrain tile to level 2 (if it's already level 2, no changes occur).

Transform that Terrain tile into a Plain.

The Observatory Tower cannot affect Great Terrain neither.

Dear The Chosen One! Terrain holds significant sway in battles due to the advantages it can confer upon your faction's Heroes. Therefore, dedicate yourself to mastering its intricacies and discover the most effective strategies to leverage Terrain's abilities. With diligent practice, you'll pave the path to glory!

Understanding terrain In Rune Seeker

Hello, The Chosen One! The previous <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/overview-of-heroes-in-rune-seeker-(p.1)" style="">part</a>&nbsp;of the article introduced all the basic information and important aspects to note about Heroes in the world of Rune Seeker. In this part, we will explore the two main ways to enhance your Hero's power in the current Beta version: Upgrading Equipment and Elemental Affinity.

Each Hero has a set of equipment (gear) consisting of 4 pieces: Weapon, Armor, Ring, and Talisman. These pieces of equipment are default for each Hero, meaning they cannot be removed or changed.

Each piece of equipment includes the following information:

Main stats: this indicates the type of stat that each piece of equipment increases for the Hero. The main stat increases every time the player upgrades the equipment. Specifically:

Level: equipment pieces start at level 0 and can be upgraded to a maximum level of 5.

*Note: the maximum level of the Talisman is 3 instead of 5 like other pieces of equipment.

To upgrade equipment, you'll need a specific amount of gold, smithing iron, and blueprints, as follows:

Did you know: During battle, Terrain has the ability to increase a significant amount of stats for adjacent Heroes of the same Element as that Terrain tile.

Each Hero starts with 1⭐ and can be upgraded to a maximum of 5⭐. The higher the star level, the more advantages the Hero will receive from Terrain of the same Element in the battle.

During the journey in Rune Seeker, if you receive duplicate Heroes, those duplicates will be converted into corresponding DP (Dupe Points). Each duplicate Hero can be converted into 1 DP. Players can use DP to upgrade their Hero's Elemental Affinity. Specifically:

Details of the Hero advantage received from Terrain belonging to the same Element, corresponding to each level of Elemental Affinity:

*Note: A Hero's Elemental Affinity only increases beneficial stats received from Terrain of the same Element. And it has no effect on the disadvantage received from Terrain of the Element that counters the Hero itself.

Dear The Chosen One! Hopefully the series of two articles about Hero will help you fully visualize the important aspects of Hero. Thereby making your journey at Rune Seeker easier and more enjoyable. Have a nice day!

Overview of Heroes in Rune Seeker (P.2)

Hello, Rune Seekers. A Unit's combat power is boosted not only by gears, but also by its evolution potential. This article means to give you more insights into the Evolution System in Rune Seeker.

Campaign is Rune Seeker's main PvE game mode. Players can experience the storyline through battles at Campaign, and receive many attractive rewards.

Campaign mode has 3 difficulty settings for players to experience: Easy, Normal, and Hard.

Expedition is another PvE game mode of Rune Seeker. Players must bring 5 owned Heroes equipped with Runes to participate in this mode (however, there is still a maximum of 3 Heroes participating in each match, as usual). After that, the player will be placed on a map generated completely randomly by the system. The player's goal is to overcome challenges and matches on the map, trying to progress as far as possible.

Some basic game rules of this mode are as follows:

Players can participate in this mode at any time and as many times as they want.

During the game, players can collect different types of items to increase the power of their army. These items are only available during that Expedition run. Specifically, the items that can be collected are:

Hero's health is only partially restored after each match. However, players can also restore their Hero's health through activities such as resting at the Bonfire.

An Expedition run concludes either when all of the player's Heroes have been executed or when the player chooses to abandon the run.

Upon completing an Expedition run, players receive a certain number of rating points based on their progress. The farther they advance on the map, the more points they earn. Higher rating points yield greater rewards.

The Expedition map consists of path tiles shrouded in darkness. Players require Light Fuel to illuminate and unlock each path tile, enabling them to navigate through the map and encounter various situations and events.

The maximum amount of Light Fuel a player can accumulate is 72. Illuminating each path tile consumes 1 Light Fuel, and players will regain 1 Light Fuel every 10 minutes.

Types of events encountered on the map include:

- Enemy: Engage in battle against a regular enemy. Upon victory, players randomly receive one of the following rewards: Rune, Relic of common rarity, or Obol. Additionally, participating Heroes have 20% of their MaxHP restored, while non-participating Heroes have 30% of their MaxHP restored.

- Boss: Face off against a powerful boss. Upon victory, players randomly receive one of the following rewards: Rune, Relic of epic rarity, or Obol. Heroes do not heal after defeating a Boss. Note: A map can contain multiple Bosses.

- Trap: Encounter a trap upon exploring a path tile, resulting in an immediate random debuff. Types of traps that may appear:

- Loot: Receive a random Potion or some type of resource. Types of Potions players can collect:

- Bonfire: At the Bonfire, players can choose one of the following activities:

Using 30 Obols to revive all dead Heroes. The revival cost doubles after each attempt.

Additionally, some Relics can help supplement Relic mining activity here.

The rate of Relics appearing from Relic mining activities at the Bonfire, according to rarity, is as follows:

- Treasure: Receive 01 random Relic reward. The rate of Relics appearing from the treasure, based on rarity, is as follows:

- Shop: Players can use the Obols accumulated during this Expedition run to purchase various items in the Shop, including Runes, Relics, Potions, or the Rune Removal Service. Items in the Shop appear randomly.

- Story: Carries a question mark icon. Here, players encounter random events such as battles, shops, treasure chests, mini-games, or other events where players can make appropriate choices, decisions, or exchanges.

- Gate: A gate that connects to another map after the player has completed the current map. Players must complete the final challenge at this gate to move to the new map.

Wave Defense is another PvE game mode in Rune Seeker. In Wave Defense, you only need to play one battle. However, in this battle, you will have to withstand waves of enemies appearing consecutively. Your goal is to fight and overcome as many waves as possible. The more waves you conquer, the greater the reward you receive.

Every 12 hours, players receive a free ticket to participate in Wave Defense. The maximum number of tickets a player can receive is 2. You need to bring 3 of their Heroes and do not need to equip the Rune. Runes are randomly provided by the system to players in this mode.

Additionally, enemies in Wave Defense also have the ability to use Runes like you.

Note that your Heroes will not be healed between waves.

Every day, the system will randomly select and apply 1 favorable condition and 1 unfavorable condition. These conditions are displayed on the main interface of Wave Defense so players can clearly understand them before deciding to participate.

Arena is a real-time PvP game mode where you can compete against other players and even create custom battle rooms for friendly matches with your friends. Additionally, the Arena features a leaderboard, showcasing the most powerful warriors in the Rune Seeker world.

As another PvP game mode, the Tower differs from the Arena in that the opponent's squad will be controlled by the game's AI.

In the Tower interface, players will encounter a list of 20 opponents ranked higher or closest to their own ranking. You can challenge them, and if successful, you will claim their rank for yourself. Your chances of victory will depend on the selection of Heroes and Runes you deploy in the Tower battles.

Every day, players are granted 5 opportunities to challenge opponents in the Tower. For each successful victory, players receive a Crystal reward. Moreover, players who achieve high rankings in the Tower leaderboard are entitled to additional daily rewards, making Tower battles both challenging and rewarding.

Dear The Chosen One! We trust that the provided information will greatly assist you in navigating the various game modes available in the Beta Test version. Apart from the aforementioned modes, the Beta version boasts numerous exciting and innovative features, including construction management, the Hero system, Runes, and more. We encourage you to explore our other articles detailing these new additions, all available in the Beta test!

Unveiling the New Game Modes in Rune Seeker Beta Test!

Hello, Chosen One! Like in other strategy games, the Base is an indispensable part of Rune Seeker. It is where all the resources and items needed for your journey are produced and exploited. Additionally, it serves as a hub for experiencing many interesting features of the game. Now, let's learn more about your Base in the world of Rune Seeker!

The base serves as the main interface of the game and is the first place players encounter upon entering Rune Seeker. From the base interface, players can engage in various activities within the game.

The Base interface consists of a grid map of hexagons, reminiscent of a battlefield. 

Players have the freedom to place buildings on any hexagon within the Base, each serving a specific function in the game. For instance, players can visit the Coal Mine to harvest Coal resources. 

At the center of the Base lies the Civic Centre, which serves as your command post. This building is a default building and cannot be relocated.

The Civic Centre is the largest building in the base and the only structure that cannot be relocated or replaced. So, what capabilities does the Civic Centre possess?

It facilitates the exploitation of four basic types of resources (Wood, Water, Coal, Stone), each with a specific output.

It increases the maximum number of buildings players can place in the Base.

It enhances the productivity of all other buildings by arranging their locations and assigning a Hero to manage them (for more details, refer to part 3 - Buildings).

Additionally, the Civic Center has its own level, which can be upgraded by gaining experience from quests.&nbsp;You can monitor the upgrade progress directly from the Civic Centre interface.

Rewards players receive when upgrading the Civic Centre:

Increased resource output exploited by the Civic Centre.

Increased the size and shape of the Civic Centre.

Increased the maximum number of buildings players can place at the base.

Besides the Civic Centre, buildings are the main structures present at the Base. These structures can be moved, replaced, or repositioned, depending on the player's needs.

Buildings are divided into the following types:

Mining building: This is where you mine all the basic resources and currencies needed for your journey in Rune Seeker.

Production building: This is where you use existing resources to produce items needed for upgrades, evolution, gacha, etc.

Feature building: This is where you participate in interacting with features, events, and activities.

Initially, players can only have a maximum of 8 buildings at their base. This maximum number of buildings can be increased when the Civic Centre is upgraded.

List of buildings with descriptions:

Mining and production buildings can increase productivity (resource extraction output per hour for mining buildings and item production time for production buildings) through the following methods:

Increasing the number of stars of the building.

Arrange the location of that building at the base. Specifically, the building:

Appoint a Hero to manage the building. Specifically, the building:

So, the building's level is not permanent and can be changed, depending on the player's decisions and calculations. Additionally, the appointment of a Hero only applies to mining buildings.

b)&nbsp;Upgrading star levels of buildings

Players can use resources to produce Frames and use these Frames to gacha and randomly receive new buildings.

When a player has two equivalent buildings with the same number of stars, they can merge them into a building with +1 star. For example, two 3-star Gold Mine buildings can be merged into one 4-star Gold Mine building.

Frame production and building star level upgrading activities are carried out at the Artwork Construction.

Dear Chosen One, The Base serves as a crucial resource hub, providing the necessary materials for enhancing the combat prowess of your army in Rune Seeker. Therefore, it's essential to manage and arrange buildings carefully to align with your development strategy.

Base - Your Citadel

Rune Seeker, as the name suggests, chronicles the journey of The Chosen One (that's you) as they seek powerful Runes to heal a decaying world on the brink of its demise.

So, what exactly are Runes and how do they function? Let's delve into their mysteries in this article.

Runes are stone tablets that crystallize the power of the mighty Ancient Gods. They are essential in battle, allowing for the enchantment or transformation of Heroes and Terrain. The outcome of battles largely depends on the skills and tactics of The Chosen One in utilizing these Runes effectively, with success directly impacting the chances of victory.

Each Rune consists of two smaller Rune Shards:

Absorption Rune on the left: Used on allied or enemy Heroes to activate attack skills or apply special effects.

Creation Rune on the right: Applied to Terrain tiles to alter their Elemental properties or bestow special effects upon them.

For a list of Runes, please refer <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/rune" style="">here</a>.

Additionally, each Rune Shard possesses its own weight index, calculated from 1 to 3 skulls. Consequently, the total weight of each Rune will range from 2 to 6 skulls.

The Rune weight index correlates with the number of Runes a Hero can carry into battle. For further information, please read the <a class="cdx-page-link" href="/guide/overview-of-heroes-in-rune-seeker-(p.1)" style="">Overview of Hero</a> article.

2. The role of Runes and how to obtain them:

If the Hero is the unit that fights directly in battle, and the Terrain significantly increases or reduces the Hero's stats, then Runes are the only tool for the player to manipulate both the Hero and the Terrain, maximizing overall fighting ability to win against opponents.

Runes are also the primary objects players can directly interact with in each battle.

Regarding ownership, currently, you can use Rune Talisman at Fallen Sacramento to randomly acquire Runes.

There are two ways to obtain the Rune Talisman:

- Use resources to create Rune Talisman in Fallen Sacramento.

Did you know: Rune Seeker matches employ a real-time parallel turn-counting system, where participating factions make decisions simultaneously. A classic example of this turn-based system is the game Rock, Paper, Scissors, where participants think and decide simultaneously, and then face the consequences of their decisions.

Each turn in the match consists of two phases: the Command Phase and the Action Phase.

Lasts for 20 seconds. At this phase, players from both sides will think and use Runes on objects on the field (a Hero or a Terrain tile) in real time. Players can use up to 4 Runes per turn.

Note that players can only use a maximum of one Rune on one object per turn.

Once the Command Phase ends, the match transitions into the Action Phase. The decisions made by players during the Command Phase will now be implemented, and players cannot take any actions during this phase.

The results of the Rune-duel between the two factions also manifest during the Action Phase, governed by the Rune-duel mechanism as follows: If both players use a Rune on the same object (a Hero or Terrain tile) during the Command Phase, only the Rune used first in real-time will take effect; subsequent Runes will be negated and removed from the match.

The system records each player's Rune usage time in real-time during the Command Phase and reveals the exact results during the Action Phase.

The Rune-duel is a crucial mechanism directly impacting the battle's outcome. To ensure your calculations and tactics are effective, you must act faster than your opponent during the Command Phase. Hesitation or loss in this duel results in the disappearance of your Runes, rendering them ineffective for your side. While the Rune-duel may seem straightforward—where speed determines the victor—to truly leverage this mechanism and optimize your advantage in battle, you must understand not only the nature and abilities of your own Heroes and Runes but also those of the many opponents you will encounter in the future. Moreover, Runes appear randomly each turn, demanding improvisation skills to navigate the battlefield's unpredictability and variables.

*Note: The Rune-duel mechanism activates only when both players use a Rune on the same target. If, in a turn, two players use Runes on different objects, the Rune-duel will not occur.

So the Chosen One has learned basic information about Rune and why these Runes are so important in the world of Rune Seeker. Take the time to learn the capabilities of different Runes to build the most suitable gameplay for yourself!
