Runes are an enemy class introduced in Epic Battle Fantasy 3. They typically appear in areas associated with ruins, such as Temple of Godcat and the Kitten Kingdom Ruins. They also appear with the Protector.
Appearance
They appear as small two-part constructs (a spherical upper "body" and a brazier-like lower "body") vaguely resembling stone torches or pillars.
Overview
Runes act very much like Bits; they have low HP, and are prone to self-destruct at low health. However, Runes are functional support foes that can usually buff the stats of allies or cast magic. Also, the main foe that summons them, Protector, will cast extra rounds of Mega Blast if there are Runes on the field and it tries to summon more. As such, while Runes are fairly low health foes, they are strong support and should be targeted with multi-target attacks to take them out.
Most Runes are weak to Bomb and Wind.
