PvP Rune Loadout

Quick answer: Rune loadout depends on build: Glass cannon: 3 crit-damage runes (+0.3× × 3 = +0.9× crit multiplier). Sustain tank: 3 defensive runes (Iron Hide, Stoneblood, Pack Bond). Control: 2 control runes (Slow, Curse) + 1 utility (CDR). Match runes to build identity; don't mix archetypes.

Glass cannon loadout

Eclipse Heart + Crimson Pact + Phantom Step. Crit damage + lifesteal + dodge. Win in 3 turns.

Sustain tank loadout

Iron Hide + Pack Bond + Stoneblood. DEF + HP + group buff. Win by outlasting.

Burst mage loadout

Eclipse Heart + Spirit Bond + CDR rune. Crit + heal + faster nukes.

Control loadout

Slow + Curse + Net. Lock enemies out of rotation. Niche but devastating vs glass cannons.

Hybrid (NOT recommended)

Mixing archetypes dilutes identity. Stick to one role per character.
