# Runes Each hero class has 9 unique magic runes that are not found in other classes. Runes have passive effects that enhance certain hero characteristics and other gameplay elements. The player can select 5 of these runes to equip in the 5 rune slots available to their hero. Each rune slot offers a limited number of options to choose from. As the hero progresses through the levels, they will unlock additional slots as a reward, starting with the first rune slot at level 13.
