Rune-lenses are one of the gameplay mechanics that a player ofEiyuden Chroniclecan master by knowing which runes are more effective than the other, especially since each character has their elemental affinity, making them able to use a magical rune-lense better, while other rune-lenses cannot be utilized fully due to their affinity limitation.
These magical rune-lenses also have their own strengths when fully utilized, especially by mages that perfectly fit the rune-lenses elemental affinity. Some of these curated rune-lenses offer supporting magic as well as offensive, while others might be fully focused on dealing damage against the enemies.
6Rune Of The Void
Perfect Choice For Dark Mages
Mages with high Dark affinity such as Milana will enjoy this particular magical rune-lense, as it allows her to deal heavy Dark damage that can hurt certain types of enemies the most, while also maintaining survivability thanks to the highest level of magic of the rune-lense, the Soul Squeeze.
The first magic of the rune-lense, Nether Beckoning, also has the potential to make random encounters inEiyuden Chroniclea breeze, sincefarming for experiencewill no longer be needed when the characters reach high levels to realize their potential.
5Rune Of Brilliance
Holy Magic Perfect For Supporting Mages
The highest level of Light rune-lense, Rune of Brilliance, provides one of the best options for the supporting mages in a party to equip, thanks to its reliable supporting magics. Crusader’s Horn enables the party to be sufficiently charged up with an attack boost while also maintaining their HP, albeit not as high as other restorative magics.
Moreover, Absolute Heal provides a free pass for any mistake that is made in a battle that results in one ofthe party membersgetting knocked out. Lance of Glory is also no pushover, as it provides a damaging option should the support’s damage output also be needed in the long run.
4Rune Of Conflagration
Scorching The Area Against All Enemies
Sometimes, all a party needs from amage like Melloreis raw damage output that affects all the enemies in a battle, instead of only one or a row being affected. The ever-powerful Rune of Conflagration solves that problem by having magics that are focused on damaging enemies only, be it a single target or against all enemies.
Crimson Nova is preferable when facing weak enemies via random encounters, while Inferno Pillar can be reliably used against hard bosses. Flames of Perdition can be perfectly used as well against bosses with minions that might be threatening in the long run.
3Rune Of Tempest
Speeds Up And Finish The Battle Quickly
Although there are certain party members withperfect stats, some of them might also be deficient in terms of the Speed stat, making them unable to act first before the enemies do in certain battles, such as against bosses with a high-speed stat. The Rune of Tempest allows mages to speed up these slow party members to give them an advantage against speedy enemies.
Aside from the unique speed-up buff, the rune also has other deadly magics available, such as Lightning Surge and Thor’s Hammer, which have a chance to stun their targets. Having a mage with the Rune of Tempest is generally a solid choice, especially for mages with high Wind affinity.
2Rune Of Pure Water
The Quintessential Support Rune-Lense
As one of theearliest available rune-lensesto obtain, the Rune of Water is a precious commodity to hold on to during the early game. The Water element rune-lense continues to be one of the best for supporting party members as its highest level form, the Rune of Pure Water, is able to strengthen allies while also augmenting their damage.
The unique Aqua Needle will create an opportunity for the party to attack first since the magic slows down its target. Moreover, the Water God’s Tears is also a reliable option to heal a badly wounded party member to keep them in the fight. The ultimate ability of the rune, Holy Rain, enables all of the party members to dish out more damage while also keeping their HP pool up to survive the enemy’s attacks.
1Rune Of Land
Perfect Blend Of Support, Offense, And Defense
Having the magical rune-lenses that can fit both offense and defense can be tough to find inEiyuden Chronicle, but Rune of Land manages to do so perfectly with its blend of supporting skills, which also encompasses both offensive and defensive aspects of the battle. Planet’s Rejection will enable the party to withstand tremendous area damage that can even killthe tankiest characterin the party.
Raging Earth, on the other hand, allows physical attackers of the party such as the ones in the front line to deal more damage while also having its own damaging properties. All in all, Rune of Land should be included in a mage’s repertoire once the playerreaches the endgame.
