Runes and hero growth
Spirit Altar Greater/Epic Runes
Collect the Greater and Epic Runes needed for an elemental hero's awakening using a difficulty that reliably supplies them.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Spirit Altar Greater/Epic Runes
Battle > Spirit Altar > the open altar for the target hero's element.
Before you go
- Unlock Spirit Altar by clearing Episode 1, stage 2-10.
- Know the hero's element and the Greater or Epic Rune quantity needed.
- Check that the matching altar is open in the current schedule.
- Have a team that can clear the difficulty selected.
Farming steps
- Open the hero's awakening screen and note the rune tier and element required.
- Enter Spirit Altar and check which elemental altars are currently available.
- Select the matching element, then choose a difficulty whose reward tier includes the needed runes.
- If uncertain, inspect the difficulty reward preview before using Energy.
- Clear the altar and collect the displayed rune drops.
- Repeat at a stable difficulty until the inventory meets the awakening requirement.
- Use the runes to awaken the target hero, then change altars or farm another tier only for a separate goal.
- Hard difficulty and above can award Epic Runes; Normal and above can award Greater Runes, according to the item listings.
- During a rune buff window, prioritize rune farming if it aligns with a hero build, but verify the active event in the client.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat while the matching altar is open and more runes are required. Element availability rotates; the farm is not continuously open for every element.
Common mistakes
- Running an altar for the wrong element: match the hero's element before spending Energy.
- Using a high difficulty that fails: choose the highest stable difficulty that includes the needed tier.
- Farming Epic Runes for a Common Rune need: use the difficulty appropriate to the required tier.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the planned awakening's rune count is met; spend Energy on another open altar or progression goal.
