I have had several items with a corrupting rune in them, but I don't actually know what it does yet....

[OminousGiggle]

you can put the rune on a weapon in the weapons upgrade area.
This deals additional damage to units every time you hit them with that weapon.

Corrupting runes deal bonus damage to "living" targets. This includes humans, beasts (giants and such), and animals.

[Butters158]

Note that runes only affect auto attack damage, they're ignored in ability damage calculations.

Runes are basically pointless fluff as they do not add anything meaningful in the grand scheme of things. Honestly runes in this game are weak, very weak.

At least they make your weapon glow.

Corrupting runes are evil. You're basically firing Red Lyrium at people, but much like Blood Magic in previous games, the game just doesn't care you're spreading the Taint.

Bioware needs to work on its ludonarrative dissonance.

Here's a crazy idea: Try reading the description.

And that is VERY important.

The question is, why I should bother and farm stuff for exceptional dragon runes, when I have a truckload of exceptional corrupting runes.

 

A dragon is a living beast, right?

[Sully13]

but its a badass beast.

[Basher of Glory]

but its a badass beast.

So you suggest to change the description of the corrupting rune from

 

"...against living..."

to

"...against living except badass beasts..."

 

right?

[Sully13]

Nah dosnt have that ring to it.

how about steve? yeah the Steve Rune.

Because a corrupted dragon becomes an Archdemon

[Mao_Kihan]

When you craft a rune it tells you exactly what enemies it works on in the description. It should tell you in the inventory screen, but it doesn't.

[BAC PARTY CITY]

does corrupting work on dragons too? They are living right?

[BronzTrooper]

Pretty sure it does work on dragons.  Corrupting Runes are my go-to runes for my non-staff weapons.  No real point in grabbing Dragon-Slaying Runes when Corrupting Runes do the job just as well.

No.

 

Because they work on bears

Leave Isabella out of this. 

 

Like others have said, corrupting runes are anti-living runes.  They work on just about everything and deal a good boost to damage without relying on elemental weakeness or resistances like the element runes do.  I'm not sure if it's being added in as "magical" damage or "physical" damage however.  Since you can throw them on staves, I'm pretty sure it's not physical.  Maybe it's simple "+ weapon damage," and does whatever the weapon would do.

Ok went with Superb Corrupting Rune and Cleansing Rune.  One dagger is 500 damage the other is 470 +

 

killed the Highland Ravager and I'm now in the arbor wilds.  Glad I didn't go with Dragon slaying Rune......uness I need it for that huge Corypheus Dragon thing later on
