Memory Rune

  • The first rune on the board is called Memory Rune.
  • This rune grows in power based on the number of Runes you collected in March, and how many times you fired your Jade Laser during the Marchevent.
  • For each Rune you collected in March, your Memory Rune will gain +10% All Damage.
  • For each time you used your Jade Beetle laser, your Memory Rune will gain +5% to Gold dropped.
  • If you are just beginning, or if you skipped playing in February, your Memory Rune will be set at 10% damage, 5% gold.

The Bonus Rune

As with many months now, the bonus rune you can stockpile after filling the board is Endless Rush.

April Special Runes

Horizontal Boost

This rune doubles all of the normal runes that share the same row. For this month, that means doubling:
  • Emerald I
  • Garnet I
  • 3 Garnet II
  • Trinity I
  • Gold I
  • 2 Gold III

Vertical Boost

This rune doubles all of the normal runes that share the same column. For this month, that means doubling:
  • 2 Amethyst II
  • Garnet I
  • Garnet II
  • Trinity I
  • Trinity II

Hidden Wealth

Similar to Hidden Power in previous rune boards, Hidden Wealth increases for each of the six abilities that you have active at any given time (Shadow Swarm, Smokescreen, etc) -- yes, even Colossal Crab counts as an ability activation for the few seconds that she is there. For each ability that you have active, you receive a bonus to your Gold Drop. Although not confirmed at the moment, this should be like Hidden Power and function as a multiplier on top of everything else and not just 25% on top of an already enormous %. If you have all three runes for 75% per ability, you could expect 300% gold while your 4 main abilities were running, and brief periods of 375% and 450% when Leech and CC were active.
