Runes are consumables that buff your character. It is highly recommended to farm for them, especially the staples, as they essentially double the damage that you can do.
This will cover the consumables you may want to use all throughout the whole game.

|YES
|YES
|This rune is essential to {{#skill:5213}} build as it gives a chance to QUADRUPLE the damage the skill deals.
For the rest of the builds, this rune is not as necessary, but +30 STR is a decent boost.

|This rune allows you to attack faster and deal a bit more damage. Having more ASPD allows you to attack faster and deal more DPS, and the {{#item:12729}}is one of the most potent ASPD consumables and is exclusive to Rune Knight, which makes it a solid rune to go for.

|Pretty strong early-mid game option for weapon card. As you progress your gear however, you may end up with unbalanced damage modifiers, where slotting in  {{#item:27361}}and/or {{#item:4140}}becomes the better choice.

|Allows you to replace {{#item:24661}}combo with something else.
While this allows you to be more flexible on your Shadow Gear, this more or less makes it a  slight DPS loss due to a loss of a weapon card slot that is more potent in terms of damage modifiers.
