DDA Runes Guide

Documented list of all available runes and where to get them for Dungeon Defenders: Awakened.

Introduction

---

Runes were introduced during the November 17, 2022 Update[forums.dungeondefenders.com] of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened. Runes are a new feature that allow you to augment heroes and their defenses. Runes drop from normal enemies at all levels of play as well as from victory chests. Each act has its own pool of which runes drop from enemies, and each map has a smaller subset of that act pool that drop in the form of a guaranteed drop from the victory chest.

Runes are a consumable item and in order to unlock the rune you must purchase it using gold. Once unlocked you can assign the rune to its corresponding hero. To assign a rune, go to your hero stats, then go to runes, click inside on of the circles and then press E to assign a rune. I'll add screenshots and better directions soon.

All runes are hero and defense tower specific. As an example, an Apprentices' Bouncing Magic rune will only augment his Magic Missile defense. The Apprentices' Bouncing Magic rune cannot be applied to any other hero than an Apprentice. If you have multiple Apprentices you can assign that rune to each of them.

The following guide lists all available runes, their information per level, and where they are favored to drop. Also, yes, the Series EV's level 1 Strengthened Field rune is the same as a level 8 Strengthened Field rune.

The March 18, 2023 Update[forums.dungeondefenders.com] added runes for the new hero, Guardian, as well as new runes for the Monk, Series EV, Summoner, and Warden.

there are new runes from the new update

[Theoran]

To give Everyone an idea of run times. I tracked rune drops when I was trying to get all runes to 8/8.

From Dec 8 - Dec 27, in survival or mixed mode massacre I completed 4,304 waves
I had 87 7/8 runes drops and 35 8/8 runes drop.

Maps that were easy to farm runs on are:
Act 1-2 Ancient Mines
Act 1-4 Alchemical Labs (boss weapons and accessories as an added bonus)
Act 2-2 Tornado Valley
Act 2-4 Throne Room (boss weapons and accessories as an added bonus)
Act 3-2 Royal Gardens
Act 3-4 The Summit (boss weapons and accessories as an added bonus)
Act 4-4 Foundries and Forges
Act 4-3 The Keep (boss weapons and accessories as an added bonus)
Act 5-1 The Bazaar

If you can't farm the boss maps, farm the others because Act 1 runes only drop on Act 1 maps, etc, so farm the Act the drops the rune you are going for and if you don't have a 7/8 or 8/8 Overdrive rune, then Act 2 should be the Act you farm heavy until you get an Overdrive rune.

[Theoran]

I believe in the game UI they show 0/0. When looking at runs, click on the the rune and the rank will be show to the right. On the picture below, you can see that I have click on the Overdrive Rune and it is Godly aka 8/8.
