Witcher 3 Best Runestones: Top Five
Chernobog Runestone
This runestone comes in handy when you need to pierce through your enemy’s armor. It increases the attack power of your swords near a point, making it almost invincible.
As you have to fight different enemies and not every one of them can be defeated from freezing, poison, and stun effects. But no enemy can protect themselves from a sword that gives heavy damage.
Svarog Runestone
Svarog and Chernobog give your sword the same kind of abilities, to pierce through any armor which touches the blade.
And as I said, your enemy can be immune to freezing, poison, stun, and many other effects like this but not to damage.
Svarog is more effective on human enemies and Chernobog is more effective on monsters.
Triglav and Devana Runestones
Triglav and Devana are more useful than other runestones as they are more effective and the effects last longer.
Triglav gives your sword the ability to stun your enemy, and the effect lasts longer than any other runestones effects. It allows you to attack your enemy continuously and finish them without taking a lot of damage.
On the other hand, Devana can come into the play when you are fighting an enemy who heals quickly and have a lot of health. Devana makes the enemy bleed for a long period of time, so even if the enemy heals faster or has a lot of health, they will die.
Zoria Runestone
Zoria gives your sword the freezing ability, it may not be effective on every enemy you fight, but freezing the enemy for even a small period of time can give you an upper hand in the battle.
Final Words
So, here are the Top Five Runestones according to the most the players of Witcher 3. Now go and use these runes on your enemy and defeat them. But remember,
How effective a Runestone is, also depends on the Swords power and the one who is using the sword.
