These are the most popular runes in League of Legends. So, how do these runes give the champion an advantage? Let’s take a look at each of them one by one.



1. Continue the Attack
If you basic hit a champion 3 times in a row, that champion takes bonus damage, takes more damage from all hits for 6 seconds, and becomes vulnerable for a set duration.
2. Deadly Pace
After damaging a champion, the attack speed limit is exceeded, the champion starts hitting faster. It can be said that this rune is a must for AD champions, especially Jinx. This is because these champions need to hit the opponent as many times as possible.
3. Quick the Foot
Attacking and moving builds up energy charges. When 100 stacks are reached, the next hit on the target heals the champion. Along with this, the movement speed is also increased.
4. Give Electricity
Hitting a champion with 3 different attacks or abilities over 3 seconds causes that champion to take bonus damage. It is recommended to use the “Electrify” rune in order to effect the successive abilities of champions like Zed.
5. Predator
Adds an active effect to boots that increases movement speed and deals additional variable damage to the next attack or ability.
6. Black Harvest
When enemies, large minions, or large monsters are killed, spirit essence drops. When you absorb these souls, the next attack will cause the opponent to take additional variable damage based on the number of soul essence absorbed.
7. Summon Aery
If the enemy is attacked, Aery lands on the enemy champion and deals damage to them. Provides shields to teammates when nearby.
8. Magic Star
If the enemy is hit with an ability, it launches a meteor towards that enemy.
9. Enthusiasm for Speed
When you hit an enemy champion with 3 different abilities, or hit the enemy champion 3 times in a row, your movement speed is instantly increased.
10. The Ghost’s Claw
Deals bonus magic damage to a champion every 4 seconds. It also increases the champion’s health.
11. Guard
Protects nearby teammates. When either ally takes damage while their ally is protected, they both gain movement speed.
12. Unbridled Spellbook
Changes summoner spells and reduces cooldown. For example, if you have the ability to leap, you can replace it with healing as the game continues.
13. Glacier Boost
Your first hit on the enemy champion slows them down.
14. The Dealer
The first attack after using an ability grants gold or a once-usable item.
