the new rune system are ridiculous~ 

4*+15 plus 4*+15 plus 4* special rune = 5*+0 rune

Nah, not really. I think it's just normal. That's also how I envisioned hero fusion. I just hope whatever item needed for merge is not rare.

I hope that you need only one "base" rune not two equivalent

i.e. 4* base one place + trashy 4* + special == 5* one place

It is ridiculous in my opinion... the chances of getting the exact rune you want is pretty small... and then you have to use up a lot of resources (gold, time, other runes) to level up a single rune... 

I hope the devs took into account the average resources and playtime it takes to max level a full set of runes for a single hero, even 3* runes (I don't have any yet myself and I've been playing almost 6 months).

Clarification: Actually this addition of being able to merge runes is an improvement to the existing system. 

It's just that the rune system overall is ridiculous when you think about the odds and feasibility of the majority of the player base being able to complete anything beyond 3* rune sets. For new players, the rune system is already one of the most confusing/hard-to-figure out aspects of the game, which some players don't even bother with. Like someone else calculated... it can take years to complete for a full 5-man team yet it's not possible to easily and conveniently transfer the complete set from one hero to another. 

I've adjusted my expectations accordingly, but I suspect that many players will not realize the extremely high cost/near-practical impossibility of doing so when this new feature is being so hyped up and thus set themselves up to be frustrated or disappointed, which is bad press for the game. 

No it is not. There is no easy way to get high lvl rune and they just made it easier.

The only concern i have is the number of slots after we merge. If its going to be random. Then it pretty much sucks.

Eh, it's pretty much expected, don't have much use for the extra runes anyway and at least they gave us a way to reliably get 5 star runes. Though like what the guy said above, hopefully we can choose the number of slots the new rune would take up. 

Hmm.. I think we need runes with the same number of slot for merge, and the result will have same number of slot with the 2 material runes.

At least thats what being communicated in the Thai facebook page.. they said , same rarity, same size (assume it is slot) and same type

Holyshit he's back with his shitposting

This function is meant to be a way for players with full 3s+15 runes to get some 4s and full 4s+15 rune players to get some 5s.
It is surely not intended to super boost everyone over a short period of time.
It is just a slow progression to getting full 5s then I think 6s rune will be out.

i  really like to see those white knight how to protect the dev~ but this time with no stronger reason quiet disappointed =(

farming a 3* rune with a correct stat with 1 block rune if u lucky~ u can get 1 or 2 in 1 week~

so i assume u can get 2 rune / in 1 week~
simple math 
3 year and 9 month u can get 5 character with 5* rune~ 

nice plan ~it really quiet slow

i can comfirm IF U REMAIN THE SAME DROP RATE FROM HALL STAGE 3, LESS THEN 5% OF PLAYER WILL USING THIS NEW RUNE SYSTEM~ 
this really call as improvement to the existing system? 

Rune system overall is quiet good in the game even with  the odds and feasibility~ 3* rune sets is hard to get but still is possible to complete it in half year for whole team~ but this new merge rune system are totally useless~ it take 4 times of resource ( rune only without consider gold yet) to complete it~ 

if i really want to use this new rune system~ i will use it at 2 year later ~
