Each playable character has different affinities with each rune; this list shows which characters are best with which runes.

Each person who can use a rune has a certain affinity with that rune. You may have noticed that Kahn does a lot more damage with the Resurrection rune than, say, Rina. This is why.

A: 40% more damage. B: 20% more damage. C: Normal damage. D: 20% less damage. E: 20% more damage, may backfire. A blank space means the character can't use that rune.
