Customizing Carnage in Lords of the Fallen: A Guide to Runestone Types and Strategic Rune Effects
In the brutal world of Mournstead, dominating adversaries requires meticulously refining one's combat approach. Beyond standard upgrades, Runestones unlocked via blacksmith Gerlinde grant unprecedented customization over arsenal behavior and playstyle. Each Runestone's properties uniquely augment and enhance tools, loadouts, and Vigor sustainability in Lords of the Fallen.
Elemental Runes: Channeling the Powers of Fire, Frost and Lightning
Elemental Runes imbue destructive elemental magic, enabling specialized damage over time builds. The Fire Rune sets foes aflame while Frost freezes and shatters targets. Lightning continuously shocks. Combined with matching enchanted weapons, these Runes maximize elemental output.
Gerlinde also grants a Lightning Rune amplifying attacks' already considerable damage over an enemy's duration in battle. Another restores small amounts of LOTF vigor on kills, sustaining aggressive combatants against tough opponents.
Status Runes: Inflicting Lethal Afflictions through Bleed, Poison and Curses
Debilitating Runes like Bleed and Poison gradually whittle away targets' vitality for cruel finishes. Bleed Runes coupled with quick daggers are perfect assassination pairs. Poison Runes and catalysts apply lingering toxicity.
Curses reduce defenses, synergizing with all damage-over-time effects. Frenzy Runes raise attack power at the cost of survivability, rewarding high-risk play. Runestones like Vitality and Repulsion further diversify calamity-dealing approaches.
Customizing the Carnage: Strategic Rune Selection
Combining status Runes, attributes and elements optimizes any build concept. Poison/Curse Runes and Faith scaling cataclysms are pestilential devastation incarnate. Frost and Strength Runes form stoic juggernauts. Regenerating Vigor sustains glass cannons.
With patience acquiring Runestones throughout Mournstead, no class remains unchangeable. Strategic selection transforms even the weakest tools into unstoppable engines of annihilation.
