Very good video, there were lots of good tips BUT! My very important tip for all of you would be Efficient (high rolls) >>>> stats that make sense. In the past I was mainly looking for runes with stats that make sense together and I sold others that did not follow that path (as Sean said stuff like cr, cd + atk, spd, hp, def, etc. So when I farmed giants for despair runes I looked for fast runes with acc for stuff like toa, etc. or damage runes for a despair dps like zaiross or poseidon. Low spd? sell. Resistance? Who wants that stuff? sell. Now I own 2 Halphas and god I WISH I kept all of those low spd high hp/resist runes in all those giants runs. There are SO many units these days that do not follow the typical "makes sense" stat combinations (Halphas, Oracles, Kaki, Leo just to name a few) that you cannot only look for these combinations. So my big tip is if you find runes with high base rolls, eventho the combination itself does not seem that useful to you right now (excluding ofc if you have multiple flat stats, they are worthless 99% of the time) still roll that rune and see if the rolls itself will also be high rolls. Even if you have absolutely no need for the rune right now you might pull a unit or a new unit comes out and you wish that you kept that super efficient rune that could be great on that unit. Sean talked a bit about this point at the end but to know the exact units it can be used on you need lots of game knowledge of every unit. My point is more if you find an efficient rune eventho you have no clue if any unit might want these stats still roll it and keep it if the rolls are high aswell. There is a good chance at some point you will find or pull a unit that can use those stats

Man. Very helpful seanb. Been farming for 8 years and it was only til 2 years ago when I started to understand how to hunt down runes properly. This’ll help alot of other players out. Keep it up man

This did help only thing I would change is understanding that runes roll speed 4-6 on regular runes and then dimensional runes are higher upward of starting at 6 going up to 9. I could be wrong it might be more. However I keep 6 speed runes and I also keep some blue speed runes cause if I only need a unit to have a spd 2 rune then white, green, blue, purple or legendary doesn't matter long as it's a 6* spd rune. Units with atks dealt by your attack speed like Masha for instance sure having extra atk, crit dmg and hp would be nice to have but not ultimately necessary especially for those who can't farm the higher tiers of dragon's. I personally don't have the runes to do dragons abyss normal so I stick to Tricaru and Verde on DB10. If the hero rune has +6 speed and either hp%, atk%, crit rate/dmg% alongside the speed 6 then I keep. Always look before you leap. Because you might have a 6 speed rune and it triple rolls and now you have a +24 speed rune vs waiting and grinding for only legendary is not good technique because even Obabo uses hero runes with triple rolls in speed. ​@@SeanBGames

Ruin management is the bane of my existence and this video just helped me out tons! Really appreciate your time and effort! If you ever start doing account tuning I’ll certainly hit you up! Thanks again for all the guides!

Ngl it’s always interesting to hear people’s thoughts like this 😌 gives me an insight into how I can improve thanks for the the video SeanB

Runes can be over whelming. Kuddos to this guide. Very helpful

This is what i looked for the rune filter and similar like diablo/last epoch style loot filter very2 helpful!

hi sir. nwbie in sw. thanks for explaining runes value. keep it up

15:10 a lot of supports with multihits can be built on CR slot 4 if the stats are efficient enough and you want said unit to do some damage with crit + add dmg artifacts

Been playing off and on for i think 9 years now? Maybe 10 not sure its been so damn long but i recently got back into it from a 3 year break and videos like this and tbe beginner guide really help for a refresher and things that have changed and such. Great content as always sean! Keep up the great work

my rune quality is not even at your level, but I went a step further, I only look at all legend runes, then runes with spd, and runes with CR. To be honest, when I am building the monsters, it is always either look at speed, or look at CR. It is either a support monster that can go high speed, or an dps monster that needs high CR. 9:00 Just an add-on, you don't need to know by heart the minimum roll and maximum roll. You can click and hold at the stat area and it shows you the range of the rolls.

"only look at all legend runes, then runes with spd, and runes with CR" very bad tip. there are a lot of monsters which dont need one of them very high, some dont even need any speed and / or cr. and you have 5 runes, where one can make up for another. those "general" rules like "everything without speed is shit" are like saying "every monster which is not lushen cannot be used for arena offense.

What are your thoughts on double rolls on 2 subs, and this was very helpful looking forward to more like this

Bahahaha HOARDiNG is a light way of putting it (^^) GR8 video !

If you're looking at the rune, click and hold in the sub property area and it'll tell you the range of rolls you can get for those subs

This is class thanks sean

as a mid player,i just keep legendaries with 3 good stats and up and i plus 9 and if it roll nice or usable i keep the rune. same with purple and of course i +9 for speed and i mostly keep all the innates of 8 acc/res and some with 6 crit innate

very helpful thanks Sean 👍

Later comment but I wanted to say, amazing video, I picked up the game again (toxic relationship) and this guide helped me a lot since I started from scratch. Also, can you make a video on how to farm? Like, when should I start farming R5? What artifacts should I keep and how to upgrade them etc

for experienced players the advice is obvious but for new and returning players this is a great guide

Do you consider Efficiency Stat (provided by third party) in your decisionmaking?

love this, been playing for years and i still watch these types of rune videos. i would love to see a video on how to do a rune cleanup. Currently sitting on 4.5k runes that i know i need to clean up but i just dont know what i should be getting rid of.

hey sean, think you can make one about artifacts to help a returning player?

my standard is always the same. If a rune is an upgrade on the set or slot - im keepin

same bro xD but im so bad i keep 18 speed if it has a good other role you can get a 152 spd unit with only 18 spd on every rune and spd slot 2 if you add some faster runes to this and u mix you get to 165-170 on non swift units which is pretty decent for every mid game+ player

@SeanB how did u complete necro 10 im stuck at necro 8 i really want that rage rune set ??

This is my first comment on any you tube video! SeanB, with this video you made realize I was doing it all wrong. I have an old account with sort of good units and I can not get them to work together. Maybe if you like to make video of a "broken acc" and how to fix it I would be happy to lend you mine. Tnx again for all the educational videos you do and the one fun to watch ones.

My main account has some amazing mons but it was completely broken, I didn’t even have a Fran, Loren, any of the birds or dogs built no 2a’s etc. currently on day 2 of fixing it and it’s been way easier than I thought it would be, I made a new account months ago thinking it would be hopeless. 😂

My rune inventory was full so I came here to see what I needed to sell. Thank you for all this advice.

thx for this video sir!

What about the "Select All" settings in the manage runes option? I don't think the exclusion settings work there? Trying to sell runes and it isn't working.

is this settings applies to necro too? or every dungeon have different settings?? if that so pls make others dungeon settings too ty !

14:09 remember defense flat or percentage can’t go on slot 1 runes

Can you do a video covering third party programs you use and recommend?

I personally sell all rares but I'll still keep some heroes, main thing I check is a speed sub, if a rune has no speed sub I immediately sell it regardless unless it's a swift rune. I also don't keep resistance runes because of the 15% rng regardless, just kinda seems pointless to waste a rune space with resistance. I also don't keep very many accuracy runes for similar reasons but mostly depends on the unit I'm building and their use and need but I also try and look for accuracy subs anyways. same with crit rate runes, even for verd I focus more on crit rate subs to hit 100% crit rate so I can load him with a crit damage and attack rune. that's just how I personally do it

thanks seanB

Thank you for this! Are there runes types that can be ignored? For example, how often are Enhance or Tolerance runes used? What about Destroy runes? Where are they used? Thanks again for the insightful videos!

@bellbazzle3632

3 ай бұрын

Destroy the are used on bruisers, windy Feng Yan Camilla etc. Enhance and those weird runes roll higher more often than the main sets so roll them when you get one with good stats, bcuz they can be used on broken sets. My fastest rune for years was a determination rune

@Larkian

3 ай бұрын

Enhance and Tolerance are barely used so unless you know a purpose you might need the runes you just would have very high standards on those sets and sometimes at most use as broken sets. Basically keep legend runes with good substats combinations of those sets or high/max roll for hero runes but not needed keep that many of them.

as a begginer , i understood quite a lot , but i think i`ll save all of them, farm only dragon for some good runes , and i`ll build everything i need to with those runes and sell it after in my opinion , the low % runes can also be used as an early dude , but if u get like a mid-high rol into them , 2/3 times + some grindstones , this should do the trick of not selling it right away and use it for grinding more runes so u can have the perfect build , man COM2US really thought : If people grind in real life , let`s put the real life grind into our game called Summoners War instead of Grinding War xDDDD Peace man , love ur vids !

Quality video!

how do you know how to build which unit? and does that depends on each account? (like what the account has and all that)

@Larkian

3 ай бұрын

It depends a lot on what content you plan to use it. For example in R5 you will barely use Violent runes, only maybe on the cleansers if you aren't building a Solo BJR5. In Dungeon you will barely use Violent too on speedruns since most of the time it adds unnecessary time when you have the rune quality to have consistent run stability and run times. In PvP if you don't need to move first and/or have a chance to stun then it's most likely you will use Vio, specially for monsters that can use very effectively the extra turn.

One big mistake players do is they take the "sell everything that dont have spd" too hard and they ended up lacking in a lot of stats on certain units or content. For example most pve content can be done with low spd req and then these players cant reach the dmg requirements cause they sold all potential atk, crit efficient runes.

I argue all the time with my community on how using cr slot 4 with cd in subs and artis is really effective if you are lacking rune quality.

Anything that rolls its lowest stat I sell, I do it for Speed runes because of gaps you don't want to have any

Hi how can i sell fastly my +3, +6, +9, +12 or +15 food runes faster ?

I used to sell a lot of runes that had no spd lol then one day I accidentally powered up plus 12 rune I don’t remember if it was atk hp def percent but it was two of those grindable they were at plus 8 each and got to 24 each then it clicked in my head I was like wait a minute if I grind this two it’s possible to get 34 each so I was like you know what I will gem spd and grind see my luck and guess what I got spd plus 15 and the other sub and Inate I don’t remember what it was but this is my perfect rune I can share it on discord or something so you can see what I mean

32 second average is crazy to me

What about the rest of the rune slots just copy the same settings

at what point do you start caring about what set should have what stats?

It didn't get past the filter, you turned hp down to 6.
