What it looks like
The Rune Giant is an Epic card that is unlocked from Jungle Arena (Arena 9). It spawns a slow, single-target, building-targeting, melee, ground troop with high hitpoints and low damage. After a slight delay, she will throw an enhancement to a maximum of 2 allied troops on the Arena, increasing their damage for every 3rd attack. She appears as a large humanoid creature with long orange hair which covers her eyes and a large red nose, wearing a black suit, a brown apron and gloves with two golden spikes and stitchings, and a team-colored belt, and carries a pair of hammers. A Rune Giant card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Trivia
- The word "Rune" comes from the Old German "rūnō", meaning 'secret' or 'mystery'.
- The Rune Giant is 1 of 6 troops that cannot deal damage to other troops whatsoever, the others being the Royal Giant, Giant, Hog Rider, Royal Hogs, and Elixir Golem.
- The Rune Giant is 1 of 15 troops which bring an excited reaction from the audience upon spawning and brings a collective groan from the audience when defeated, as well as a concerning gasp when the opponent plays her, the others include Royal Giant, Giant, P.E.K.K.A., Giant Skeleton, Goblin Giant, Golem, Bowler, Electro Wizard, Inferno Dragon, Sparky, Lava Hound, Night Witch, Super Lava Hound, and the Monk.
- The card image shows 2 Fire Spirits and a Berserker on the background.
- If a Rune Giant throws her enhancement at a Berserker, the Berserker will perform her enhanced attack with both weapons at once instead of only one of them. This is merely a visual indicator; her attack does not hit twice or deal double damage.
- The Rune Giant is the subject of 3 Emotes.
- It is possible for a Rune Giant to enhance herself. This can happen if she throws her enhancement to a troop beside a Monk, who will deflect it back to the Rune Giant and enhance herself.
- The Rune Giant is 1 of 2 non-Legendary or Champion troops to fall from the sky when deployed, the other being the Zappies.
- Strangely, despite being a female, the Rune Giant is referred to as a Giant and not a Giantess.
