Ram Rune

Dungeon discovery and downward slam impact

Found inside Locked Gold Chests within the Dungeon, or fished up from Dungeon Crates and Stockade Crates. While airborne, jumping while holding DOWN causes the character to slam forcefully toward the ground. Upon hitting solid terrain, the slam produces a damaging shockwave that strikes and damages all nearby grounded enemies in the immediate impact zone. The slam velocity accelerates downward descent, allowing players to bypass long vertical drops quickly without taking lethal fall damage upon landing.

Vertical descent utility and combat crowd control

The Ram Rune offers unique downward kinetic mobility and ground-clearing utility, functioning as an offensive dive maneuver. It allows players to rapidly plunge down hellevators while crushing clustered packs of Zombies and Dungeon Skeletons upon landing. It serves as an active tactical alternative to defensive trinkets like the Cobalt Shield. Reforging to Menacing maximizes slam shockwave damage, while Lucky elevates critical strike chances on impact during dungeon raids.

Trivia

• Introduced as part of the Dead Cells collaboration update, inspired by the Ram Rune ground-slam ability.
• Carries the flavor tooltip 'Pound the ground like the heroes of old' as a nod to classic platformers.
