Runes


In between the middle and outer lanes, on both sides, are large buildings whose overpass holds a rune 1). These runes grant positive attributes for 160 seconds; the attributes granted depend on the type of rune collected. The attributes scale over time, from 10 minutes to 40 minutes. They first spawn at the 10 minute mark and respawn every 5 minutes and are randomly selected. To collect a rune, Heavy Melee the crystal structure.

Rune Types

There are currently four runes; Movement, Casting, Gun and Vitality. They all grant differing attributes based off their name.

  • The Movement Rune Movement Rune grants the following attributes:
    • +1 to +4 Stamina Bars,
    • +2 to +4 Sprint Speed,
    • +20% to +50% Stamina Recovery2),
    • A +40% to +80% Zipline Boost.
      • This rune is the most important rune for movement as it directly buffs aspects relating to movement. The extra stamina allows more movement in less time, and allows you to play more aggressively. These buffs also indirectly buff various movement techniques; the +40% to +80% Zipline Boost benefits ZMC and Transit Line movement.
  • The Spirit Rune Casting Rune grants the following attributes:
  • +20 to +40 Spirit Spirit Power,
  • +15% to +25% Cooldown Reduction.
    • This rune can benefit characters that have Spirit Spirit scaling on their movement attributes (e.g. <grey_talon_mm> Grey Talon's move speed scales with Spirit Spirit, therefore gains extra move speed when collecting this rune)
    • It can also benefit characters that have movement abilities; the +15% to +25% Cooldown reduction can allow you to execute them more frequently.
  • The Gun Rune Gun Rune grants the following attributes:
    • A +10% to 30% increase in Fire Rate,
    • +30% to +60% more ammunition.
      • The Gun Rune benefits Shiv Shiv and his M2 movement by allowing him to use M2 more frequently.
