What makes them special
Rare Yellow Runes are the universal kind of rune: any class can equip them. Instead of plain stats they bring unusual effects, such as faster revival, extra damage to war buildings, or a direct answer to an enemy's skill or rune. Equipping one gives you its skill, and the effect grows from +1 to +9.

Runes that counter runes
Many Rare Yellow Runes come in pairs: one gives an effect and a later one weakens it. Knowing the pairs helps you pick runes for PvP.
| Rune | Countered by | How |
|---|---|---|
| Barrier | Tacit Strike | Adds Break and damage against Barrier users |
| Deterrence | Might | Gives back weapon passive chance against Deterrence |
| Reverse Magic | Unswerving | Makes Reverse Magic less likely to stop your XP skill |
| Wonder (Block) | Whetted Blade | Chance to disable the target's Block for 10 seconds |
| Sanctity | Damage Pierce | 10% chance to ignore the target's Sanctity for 5 seconds |
Other runes boost Perfection effects: Sanctity raises Divine Guard, Fire Blast raises Core Strike, Serenity raises Invisible Arrow and EnormousCrusher raises Shield Break, each by up to 9 levels.
