Runes
Starting runes with distinct combat styles.
Attack runes define how you fight. Support runes and mastery ranks push each build toward ailments, guard breaks, retaliation, burst, or sustain.
Strike
A flexible starter rune. Every third Strike repeats one supported on-hit effect. Best for learning support combos; weaker at specialized bossing or pack clear.
Hit: 8-13 damage, 2.85s attack time
Heavy Strike
A slow physical burst rune. Heavy Strike rewards wounded, staggered, or guard-broken enemies. Best for rares and bosses; weak into packs without support.
Hit: 10-18 damage, 4.20s attack time
Thorns Aura
A defensive retaliation rune. Thorns Aura hits lightly, then strikes back when enemies hit you. Best against packs; needs Health and Defense to shine.
Aura Hit: 3-6 damage, 2.80s attack timeRetaliate: 11 damage when struck, 2.25s cooldownPack Splash: 35%Details
Questions before the first expedition.
Quick answers about rewards, death, saves, and crafting before your first run.
What do I do first?
Create a character, choose one attack rune, then start an Expedition from the world map. Your rune is your combat skill.
What is an Expedition?
An Expedition is a run of fights. You beat enemies, reach checkpoints, collect pending rewards, and decide whether to leave or keep going.
How do I keep rewards?
When you reach a checkpoint, choose to end the Expedition. That safely keeps your gear, support runes, crafting materials, and region progress.
What happens if I die?
You lose the rewards that were still pending in that Expedition. If you find something you care about, leave at the next checkpoint.
What does Crafting do?
Crafting improves gear. Expeditions give you gear and materials, then Crafting lets you change or improve the stats on that gear.
What are Logbooks?
Logbooks are upgrade trees for specific regions. They let you make a region safer, more rewarding, or more dangerous depending on what you choose.
What are Rune Masteries?
Rune Masteries are special paths for your attack runes. As a rune levels up, its mastery gets stronger and changes how that rune plays.
Should I play guest or account?
Guest play saves on this device only. Create an account if you want your heroes backed up and easier to continue later.
Is the game finished?
No. This is early alpha. Combat, Expedition Logbooks, rune masteries, crafting, discoveries, and progression are playable, but balance and systems will keep changing.
