What are runic attacks in God of War Ragnarok, and what do they do?

Runic attacks are special skills for each of Kratos’ weapons in God of War Ragnarok. Up to two runic attacks can be equipped on a weapon, with each slot reserved for a light and a heavy rune. Each runic attack can be leveled up to increase its effectiveness.

Depending on whether they are light or heavy, runic attacks have different effects. Some can increase Kratos’ physical damage, while others increase his elemental damage output. They are also versatile and can be used for various melee, line, and area-of-effect attacks.

Since runic attacks are so powerful, the game balances things out by limiting their usage with a cooldown.
