Last update: 05 January 2023
In GoW Ragnarok, in addition to upgrades and attachements, you can assign Runic Attacks to your weapons. We have prepared a summary of all light and heavy runic attacks so that you can choose the best equipment for Kratos.
How to use runic attacks?
Runic attacks are special abilities that can be equipped installed in Kratos' weapons. With these attacks, you will deal massive damage to a single enemy or a group.
Runic attacks are divided into:
- Light Runic Attacks,
- Heavy Runic Attacks.
Weapons can have 1 runic attack active from each type. All runic attacks can be leveled up with Kratos' experience points up to level 3.
When you equip your weapon with a runic attack, during battle, hold down L1 and press R1 to use a light runic attack or R2 to use a heavy runic attack.
After using a runic attack, you will have to wait for it to recharge to use it again. You can also switch weapons and alternate between runic attacks of the Leviathan axe, Blades of Chaos or Draupnir spear.
