The Bonus Rune

As always, the bonus rune you can stockpile after filling the board is Endless Rush.

February Special Runes

Horizontal Boost

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

Vertical Boost

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

Butterfly Lure

  • Provides +25% chance for an extra butterfly, up to 50% if there are two runes.
  • The most butterflies you can spawn with this Rune active is 3 total.
  • This is not additive to the mutation. This is an extra roll of the dice, so to speak.
  • Assuming you had everything, your overall chance of getting:
    • 1 Butterfly: 35%
    • 2 Butterflies: 50%
    • 3 Butterflies: 15%

Gem Power

  • This rune increases "gem bonus" by 20%.
  • It is not a multiplier of overall gem bonus as calculated by your Gene Tree and Gene Lab bonuses to Gem Damage %.
  • If you recall, the "base" gem bonus without any Genes or Gene Lab is 10% per gem.
  • If this Gem Power Rune increases you by 20%, then it only adds 20% of that base 10%, or 2% overall to the per-gem bonus.
  • Think of it as getting two free levels of Gem Specialization in the Gene Lab.

  • 570% Amethyst
  • 555% Emerald
  • 480% Garnet
  • 250% All Dmg
  • 255% Gold
  • +300% Jade Laser Damage
