In many multiplayer online games, various characters have ultimate abilities. While there is no ultimate system in Spellbreak, it is replaced by runes. Runes are a type of magical gear like belts or gauntlets, but will instead give you a unique new ability, usually related to mobility.
There are currently seven ruins in the game, five mobility runes, and two tactical runes. Each rune has a cooldown that decreases the level of that rune you have, with five levels in total. The standard maximum charge of runes is one and cannot recharge while hovering.
