Skill Runes in Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes are a unique subset of the Rune system, focusing entirely on powerful, SP-consuming abilities that can dish out massive amounts of direct damage to your foes. Unlike their Magic, Passive, and Enhancement counterparts, Skill Runes are not universally available – many are tied to specific characters, granting them access to their signature moves.

However, there is a collection of 17 non-character exclusive Skill Runes that can be obtained through various means across the expansive world of Allraan. From powerful slashing techniques to devastating area-of-effect attacks, these Skill Runes offer a wealth of options for customizing your party’s offensive capabilities.
These also contribute towards the 119 runes that are needed for the The Hero Whom the Runes Smile On trophy achievement
