Tips and Details

  • It is possible to land 3 runes (9 Rune Explosion hits) on most enemies with some good positioning, especially on enemies at a higher elevation than you as the runes are summoned a decent amount above the ground.
  • The Sword Aura hitbox will follow with you should you fall off of a platform during the skill cast, while the shockwave will appear at the height you were when Elsword completes his swing forward.
    • The runes will appear a little bit after the shockwave, so when falling off of a platform they will often appear much lower than where the shockwave is at.
  • The Sword Aura only deals damage after it hits the ground, and as such will only deal its damage to enemies relatively close by.


Old Version

Video Description
Between its initial release and the 09/11/2019 KR Patch, Extreme Rune Buster would launch targets into the air into a field of rune explosions.


Trivia

  • This is the only Rune Slayer skill to use a Sword Aura. The blade is slightly larger than Infinity Sword's Phantom Sword and resembles a Luna Blade in appearance. It cannot be controlled after the skill.
    • Additionally, the release of this skill means all of Elsword's and Elesis's classes now have an Aura they can call upon, although Rune Slayer and Crimson Avenger cannot control theirs after the skills that summon them.
  • This is the only instance of Poison Runes being utilized.
