Use support spells to empower combos, or sacrifice your own party members for forbidden power.</li><li>Synergy Runes – Power up elemental combos or buffs/debuffs (e.g., &quot;Shocked enemies take double Wind damage&quot;) or enhance cross-class tactics.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >🧙‍♂️ 12 Unique Classes</h2>Each run starts with one hero—but you’ll recruit three others from a randomized pool.
