Rune Slayer’s latest faction update brings a whole new layer of customization and progression to your gameplay. In this guide, we break down the rewards available from both the Holy Night and Demon factions. Learn what items you can earn, how the gold costs break down, and the reputation system you need to master to unlock your ideal gear.
Rune Slayer’s Understanding the Faction System
In Rune Slayer, players are aligned with one of two main factions: Holy Night and Demon. Each faction comes with its own exclusive gear set, and unlocking these rewards depends on two factors:
- Reputation: Earn rep by taking down enemies from the opposing faction. Your rank (e.g., Demon Sect Riftborn Commander or Inferno Marshall) will influence which rewards you can unlock.
- Gold: Each faction item has a set gold cost. Save up your gold to fully gear up in your chosen faction.
Holy Night Faction Rewards
The Holy Night faction features a collection of gear that emphasizes traditional melee and supportive roles. Below are some of the key items you can unlock:
Weapons & Accessories:
- Solarius (Sword)
- Divine Concord (Staff)
- Gauntlets of Devotion
- Dagger Hollow
- Hallowed Bow
Armor & Gear Pieces:
- Seraph Headband
- Bastion Helmet
- Sanctified Hat
- Seraph GI
- Bastion Plate
- Sanction Robes
- Forsworn Vest
- Seraph GI Pants
- Bastion Boots
- Sanctified Pants
- Forsworn Boots
Each item is crafted with specific stats that complement the Holy Night playstyle. The differences between factions often come down to the weapons—Holy Night favors a standard sword setup compared to its Demon counterpart.
Demon Faction Rewards
On the flip side, the Demon faction offers a set of gear that caters to aggressive and high-damage builds. The Demon rewards include:
Weapons & Accessories:
- Night Piercer
- Void Piercer
- Doom Carver
- Profaned Gauntlets
- Infernal Covenant
Armor & Gear Pieces:
- Hellfang Headband
- Abyssal Helmet
- Malefic Hat
- Stalker Hood
- Hellfang Gi
- Abyssal Plate
- Malefic Robes
- Stalker Vest
- Hellfang Gi Pants
- Abyssal Boots
- Malefic Pants
- Stalker Boots
Note that while most armor pieces share similar stat profiles between factions, differences can occur with weapons. For example, the Demon faction’s great sword may feature higher physical damage and strength at the cost of slower swing speed.
Gold Costs and Reputation Requirements
Each faction’s gear has a set gold cost:
- Weapons: Typically 10 gold each.
- Helmets: Around 5 gold.
- Chest Pieces: Approximately 10 gold.
- Boots: Roughly 5 gold.
Altogether, you might need to invest around 30 gold (plus additional amounts for other pieces) to complete a full faction set. Besides gold, don’t forget that reputation points are required to unlock these items. Gain rep by engaging with the opposing faction—if you’re a Knight in the Holy Night faction, focus on defeating Demon players, and vice versa.
The new faction update in Rune Slayer opens up exciting opportunities to customize your character with unique gear from either the Holy Night or Demon factions. By balancing your gold management with active participation in faction battles, you can unlock every reward and dominate your opponents. Stay on top of reputation rankings and prepare to adapt as future shop updates roll out.
