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 Emerald I
• 2 Garnet I
• 2 Garnet II
• 1 Gold II
• 2 Trinity I

Vertical Boost

This rune doubles all of the normal runes that share the same column. For this month, that means doubling:

• 1 Emerald I
• 2 Emerald II
• 1 Emerald III
• 2 Gold II
• 1 Trinity I
• 1 Trinity II

Hidden Power

• This rune increases overall damage by a % for each Ability you have active (Swarm, Smokescreen, etc).
• Even Collossal Crab adds a bonus for the few seconds that it is "active".
• The bonuses are additive, so if one ability increases by 30% then two will increase by 60%.
• This bonus itself is a new multiplier.

Time Sphere

• This rune says it adds 25% to your ability timers - 50% total if you get both of them.
• Abilitiy timers as in Smokescreen, Shadow Swarm, Queen Frenzy, etc.
• In true Crab War fashion, they don't mean your modified ability timers, they mean the default ones - 30 seconds.
• So this +50% only adds 15 seconds.
• For Leech that's awesome because there is no other way to raise it - but for a 45+ minute Shadow Swarm, +15 seconds is spitting in the ocean.
