In Last Epoch, specific Masteries are more challenging to master (excuse the pun), like Runemaster. This Mastery requires players to understand what runes are, how they work, and the exact rune combinations to create Runic Invocations.

There are 40 Runic Invocation combinations for the Runemaster Mastery in Last Epoch, including the Wordless Invocation. While it may not sound like too much of a problem because you may only need to memorize one or two of them for your build, it can be tricky to do.

This is because specific Runic Invocations are the core of builds like the Hydrahedron Runemaster, and Runic Invocations are a combination of only three Runes: Rah (Red), Heo (Blue), and Gon (Purple). They must be invoked in a specific order.

Runic Invocations: Does rune order matter?

Yes, rune order matters when creating your Runic Invocations. This is because there are only three runes and multiple combinations. So, if you don’t invoke the runes in the correct order, you may get a different Runic Invocation altogether.

For example, Rime Spiral’s combination is Rah-Rah-Heo, while Winds of Eos’s is Rah-Heo-Rah. Both combinations have two Rahs and one Heo, but how the runes are ordered determines which Runic Invocation you will invoke.

Because of this, the Runemaster Mastery can be confusing. But, as long as you know which Runic Invocations are essential for your build or playstyle, you should have no trouble memorizing them and invoking the elements in the right order via your elemental skills. Or you can write them down on a piece of paper and stick them to your computer like I did, as it’s helpful when you’re in the heat of battle and forget things like order among the chaos.

Regardless of your Runemaster build, this is everything you need to know about Runic Invocations and all 40 Runic Invocation combinations in Last Epoch.
