Example details
  • The +5 rune is an example. The guide describes high-ranked players around +7 and leaves multi-hit growth after +9 unconfirmed.

  • Runes are enhanced by smashing 2 together and blow up when failing (identical to BDO’s accessory enhancing). Also requires “Clash Rune Enhance Scrolls”

  • Runes are the only pieces of gear that blow up when failing

  • Most High rank end-game players are around +7 on both runes

  • Base Stats

    • 0.5% Damage Tolerance (+0.5%/level)

    • 0.5% Damage Boost (+0.5%/level)

    • 100 Penetration (upgrades +50/level)

    • 1% Combat Speed (upgrades 1%/level after +6)

    • 1% Multi-hit Chance (upgrades 1%/level after +9? Never seen one, need confirmation)

TLDR: BDO accessory-like gear pieces that you smash together and blow up when failing
