Lesser Tempered Rune FAQs

Is this rune effective for early leveling builds?

Yes. Its low level requirement and modest damage bonuses make it ideal for early progression and starter builds.

Can I use this rune in endgame builds?

Not recommended. It is outclassed by Tempered Rune and Greater Tempered Rune in terms of damage output and scaling potential.

Does Thorns damage scale with Armour or Physical Damage Reduction?

No. Thorns is a passive retaliation mechanic and its damage is not affected by the character's own physical mitigation stats. It deals damage based solely on the rune's values.

Can I upgrade this rune through crafting?

Yes. You can combine 3x Lesser Tempered Rune at the Crafting Bench to create 1x Tempered Rune.
