Runes and Guardians

Looking for the best tips regarding guardians and runes in Rise of Kingdoms? Here you go!

Tips and Tricks to Killing Guardians and Taking Runes

• Guardians provide experience to each pair of commanders who kill them, whether they are allies or enemies, and it does not cost AP to kill guardians, they are free.
• We can use our 5 armies to kill 1 guardian and count x5, this helps to quickly complete events like “Holy Conqueror”
• Always carry commanders that we do not have to the maximum in terms of level and experience.
• Participate in the schedules established in the Kingdom to kill guardians, so we can make it easier with other companions.
• Always make sure to take a rune, it costs nothing.
• If we are going to carry out construction or research, take the rune corresponding to it and ask for the Title of the Kingdom to increase our Bonus.
• Attack and Defense Runes are good for PVP, use them against your enemy.

What are Runes in Rise of Kingdoms?

Runes are special buffs in stone forms that are dropped by the Holy Guardians, each of these Guardians has a chance to drop a random rune that can help us in a specific task that we do.

The objective of these is to give us for a certain time an extra Bonus in what we are going to do, the duration time varies according to the Rune we use and we can only take one Rune at a time.

Rune Tiers

There are 5 tiers of Runes in total:

• White (up to 3% Buff)
• Green (up to 7% Buff)
• Blue (up to 10% Buff)
• Purple (up to 15% Buff)
• Orange (up to 20% Buff)

Each rune has a Bonus or Buff that we can use in kingdom tasks, alliance activities, even in-game events such as “Karuak Ceremony”, “Silk Road” or “Lohar’s Trial”.

It is important to say that no Rune works in “Ark of Osiris” so therefore, forget to have any bonus of these in the Osiris Battlefield.

What are the Guardians?

Guardians are NPCs in charge of guarding the main structures or Holy Places on the map, these provide us with a certain amount of experience and some rewards such as runes and blueprints depending on the difficulty of the same each time we kill them.

They have a respawn schedule in all the realms that correspond to the hours of 00.08:00.15 UTC and 12.08:12.15 UTC so we can do them even twice a day and take advantage of their benefits.

Guardian Tiers

The name of each guardian refers to the location where we can find them.
