While traveling, Elsword decides to practice his magic skills so that he can become stronger. He goes to Vanessa in Velder for help, and she explained to him that he can start using runes instead of fireballs to increase his power. Soon Elsword started to use the runes he got from training, and this allowed him to become a more stronger magic knight, thus giving him the name, Rune Slayer.  

At Lv35, [[Magic Knight]] can advance into Rune Slayer. The second class advancement quest is obtained from Ariel, the event NPC located in every town.

[[File:rk.png|thumb|'''Rune Slayer''' can also be obtained by using the Item Mall item: '''Rune Slayer Mark'''.]]

While airborne, Elsword casts a rune in the air and then propels it downward at a 45 degree angle, covering a moderate distance. Unlike the old version, before launching it down, Elsword pops a rune out, stunning targets and making them vulnerable for a combo.

*Even though '''Rune Slayer''''s tattoos are embedded in his arms, they're only part of his promotional costume and disappear along with it.

**The writing below the runes/rune tattoo says "The Time Is Near".

**Runes with 2 moving circle as layers, cause stun upon contact. Examples include >>^XZZ and >>ZZX combo for ranged attacks and [[Heat Rune]] or [[Freeze Rune]] for trapping runes. This type can summon a blade from the rune (i.e. [[Luna Blade]]).

**[[Shining Rune Buster]] demonstrated that the combination of the 2 types of Runes can create a powerful deadly attack.

*Between [[Phoenix Talon]]'s special buff and [[Magic Resistance Mastery]], '''Rune Slayer''' gains a exceptional defense against projectile/magic users like [[Aisha]] and [[Rena]], which makes him a versatile opponent when paired with [[Elsword]]'s close-combat expertise, and '''Rune Slayer''''s ranged attacks.

**These traits have also lead to '''Rune Slayer''' being considered Elsword's strongest, easiest-to-use class by many players.

*'''Magic Knight/Rune Slayer''' is one of the class paths that has the ability to burn mana from their opponents with the aid of a skill. Other classes with the same ability include [[Sheath Knight]] and [[Pyro Knight]].

*Strangely, '''Rune Slayer''''s >>ZZX combo does not have increased damage on an enemy affected by his [[Magic Chain]] passive, despite the former being a magical attack.

*[[Rune Slayer]] was one of the paths chosen by the players to be revamped in 2/14/13 during the series of Class revamp patches.
