TOPIC: Best runestone for 2018

What is the best runestone to use in the 2018 adventures?

I will take a stab at this...

No one has seen any so everything is just a guess. The theme is we are going to the Bliss. There are three runestones in the 2018 collection:

tokendb.com/?fwp_slot=runestone&fwp_pub_year=2018


Star - Immune to penalties associated to attacking in a confined space
Tempest - Monster struck loses all of its shock immunity/resistance
Ymir - Monster stuck loses 10 of their fire resistance (e.g. -15 fire becomes -5 fire)

There would likely be a monster with either fire or shock resistance in the 2018 adventures but how that will play out is anyone's guess. Or the 2018 runestones could have no bearing on the 2018 and saved for future adventures.

Likely Grind might have some confined spaces in it so probably good to use a Star in there.

Sorry this probably wasn't what you were looking for but I would likely guess the best runestone for an adventure usually is a damage improvement runestone.

But maybe not one with fire or shock damage.

We don't know what the creatures will be overall except that giants seem strongly hinted and cold seems to be strongly hinted.

There are times the runestones appear to have nothing to do with the season they are issued or just apply to grind for the weird exception ones (confined spaces?).

The tempest runestone may be important if you have a wizard without a crown of elemental mastery or a druid without that crown. If the creature still has shock resistance, some of the big boom spells may be limited (note: you'd want someone other than the wizard using the tempest runestone since it requires a hit).
