Runic Warder

Last Updated: June 18, 2025

Runic Warder Overview

This Dwarven warrior is clad in superior steel, forged by his ancestors and designed to punish those who dare strike its wearer. Now, driven by the legacy of the name passed down to him, he sets his sights on one of Teleria’s greatest threats – Fyro the Fire Knight. Runic Warder is a Magic affinity Rare from the Dwarves faction.

Runic Warder has a very basic kit and seems to have been originally designed to help with early Fire Knight progression. His multi-hit attacks are useful for reducing the boss’s shield counters, and he brings a chance to place Decrease Attack to help mitigate incoming damage if the boss isn’t under full control. Additionally, he places Reflect Damage on all allies, which can further chip away at the shield when they’re hit.

Outside of this niche, he’s a fairly weak Rare overall. He provides the lower version of Continuous Heal for some light support and can apply Decrease Attack to single targets – Useful only if you’re lacking other options, particularly for early difficulties of Clan Boss or against bosses in Faction Wars.
