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

Vertical Boost

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

• 1 Amethyst III
• 1 Emerald I
• 1 Garnet I
• 1 Gold I
• 1 Gold II
• 1 Trinity I
• 1 Trinity III

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.

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.
