The Witcher 3: BEST Runewords [220+ Hours Experience]

To make Rejuvenation Runeword, you’ll need one Perun Runestone, one Stribog Runestone, and one Svarog Runestone. This will all be worth it because the advantage you’ll gain will make you feel like you can go on and on and on, laying waste to your enemies.

Each fatal strike you deal on an enemy will recover 25% of your stamina. It’s as simple as that, more stamina means you can fight for longer and make moves that you couldn’t have with less stamina. So make sure to make your strikes count and make each one a fatal one.

The recipe for Elation Runestone is as follows, one Veles Runestone, one Dazhbog Runestone, and one Devana Runestone. Once again, you’ll benefit greatly from each fatal strike because each fatal strike will grant you anywhere from 0.1 to 0.25 Adrenaline points. This being a level 2 Runeword will take a good amount of time to get your hands on, but it will very much be worth it.

This is a very straightforward Runeword, and you’ll see how in just a second. You’ll need one Pyerog Runestone and one Tvarog Runestone to make this Runeword yours. It has a very simple functionality but one that may prove to be very useful. With the Dumpling Runeword equipped, any food consumed will regenerate your Vitality by 100%.

There is a catch, though. Everything will taste like Pierogies, which are a type of, you guessed it, Dumplings. This seems like a cruel punishment given to sinners in the deepest levels of Purgatory.

Preservation Runeword is one of the absolute favorites in my Witcher 3 Runewords list and is considered to be a must-have among the majority of the players. Being a level, 1 Runeword doesn’t really suit this one because of the sheer advantage you gain by it. We’re sure you’ve confidently walked into a fight after getting your buffs from the Armorer’s Tables and Grindstones, only to face the harsh reality that the buffs have already expired.

Well, with the use of this Preservation Runeword, you can say Au Revoir to that problem. Boosts will never expire; I mean, what more could you possibly ask for? To unlock this Runeword, you’ll need one Lesser Devana Runestone, one Lesser Svarog Runestone, and one Lesser Morana Runestone.

Being a level 3 Runeword means you’ll have to work overtime to acquire this. The Invigoration Runeword is another one in my best Runewords list that’ll go really well with the combination of another Runeword equipped on the other weapon. With your Vitality at its maximum level, any additional regeneration of it will go towards added damage. That damage can be up to 50% on your next attack.

So it seems like pairing Invigoration and Dumpling Runewords together might be worth a shot. Dumpling keeps regenerating your Vitality, and the additional points keep going in your attacks. To unlock this Runeword, you’ll require one Greater Devana Runestone, one Greater Perun Runestone, and one Greater Zoria Runestone.

Prolongation Runeword is one of the hardest to acquire in my list because the requirements for this are much greater than normal. You’ll need one Greater Perun Runestone, one Greater Morana Runestone, and, one Greater Svarog Runestone to unlock this. This is a level 3 Runeword, so the harder the task, the greater the reward.

To feel the true effect of this Runeword, you’ll have to time your attacks carefully. Each unblocked attack that you manage to land on the opponent will give you an increase in the duration of your active potion by 0.5 seconds. Half a second might not feel a lot on paper, but when you’re fighting a monster, and it isn’t going down, each second feels like an eternity. This is particularly very effective if you’re fighting against a monster with a certain potion of weakness.

The last level 3 Runeword in is the best Runewords. As you might already get the idea, level 3 Runewords are hard to acquire, but that means they are just as beneficial. Signs are simple magic spells that Witchers use. They prove to be useful in combat as well as out-of-combat scenarios. The Replenishment Runeword embeds your weapon with the power of the sign you want to use. An Adrenaline Point is consumed for that to happen. This makes for a lot of fun possibilities. 

One Greater Morana Runestone, Greater Dazhbog Runestone, and Greater Triglav Runestone are required to unlock the Replenishment Runeword.

This is one of the most sought-after and recommended Runewords in The Witcher 3. The Severance Runeword basically increases the range of Whirl and Rend by 1.1 and 1.9 yards, respectively. This is a huge boost in range. Using Whirl at the base level, you can attack multiple enemies simultaneously because it’s a spinning attack.

The added range means more carnage, and you must keep spamming fast attacks for easy mode. Rend, on the other hand, increases your damage output with respect to the stamina consumed. The chance for a critical hit is increased by 10%, and you do 33% more damage with the help of Adrenaline Points. 

To get your hands on this, you’ll need one Veles Runestone, one Perun Runestone, and one Zoria Runestone.

The phrase can describe Placation Runeword, “you gotta lose some, to win some.” This is how it works, your Adrenaline points, upon reaching their full level, will continue to decrease till they’re all spent. Doesn’t seem that good, does it? This was the losing something part; what you’ll gain is pretty sweet. As long as your Adrenaline points are decreasing, your Vitality and Stamina are regenerated at an increased rate.

Along with that, any toxic effects from potions will also decrease at a faster rate. A recommended combination with this is the Elation Runeword on another weapon. Think about it. It’ll keep regenerating your Adrenaline points further fuel your Vitality and Stamina while decreasing toxicity, a match made in heaven. You’ll be a real force to be reckoned with that borderline unlimited stamina and vitality in The Witcher 3.

You’ll need one Lesser Devana Runestone, one Lesser Stribog Runestone, and one Lesser Morana Runestone to whip this bad boy up.
