Runes are the upgrades you buy with Soulstones during a Dominion round. They strengthen your whole army for the rest of the round and reset when it ends. Ove has no runes.
Basic runes
- Offense: +1% strength in every attack you send, per rune.
- Defense: +1% strength in every fight you defend, per rune.
- Luck: better odds for the good treasure rewards, one point of luck per rune.
Offense and defense runes are regular buffs: they add up with field upgrades and artifacts before the effectiveness multiplier, as described in the fight system.
Cost
All basic runes share one price that rises with every rune you buy, whichever kind it is: rune number n costs about 2 × n Soulstones. Rune Specialist pays 15% of that.
| Runes bought | Next rune | Total spent |
|---|---|---|
| 0 |  2Soulstones | 0Soulstones |
| 10 | 22Soulstones | 110Soulstones |
| 25 | 52Soulstones | 650Soulstones |
| 50 | 100Soulstones | 2'550Soulstones |
| 100 | 200Soulstones | 10'100Soulstones |
Stage 2: special units
From rune level 50, the second rune stage lets you pick a special unit, the Teryx, Raider Naki or Ovivi, for 2'500'000Soulstones, and then upgrade its skill tree. That is far beyond what a normal round pays out, so most rounds are won on basic runes alone.
Tips
- The price rises with every rune, so buy the kind you need right now instead of spreading evenly.
- Luck only pays off while you hold treasure fields.
