11 Overview

3+ 
34 Inscriptions (铭文, Míngwén) are stat-rune modifiers that boost a Resonance hero's attributes. The system is carried forward from the Honor of Kings MOBA with a HoK:World-specific loadout layer. Inscriptions are one of the four pillars of Resonance power alongside NingwuFlow Veinsand equipment.

56 Slot Structure
67  
78 A single inscription page has 30 slots across three color types:
89  
910 10 blue slots (hold only blue inscriptions)10 green slots (hold only green inscriptions)10 red slots (hold only red inscriptions)
1011  
1112 Color restrictions are enforced: a blue-slot rune cannot be placed in a red or green slot. Each color represents a different stat category. Inscriptions can be freely reconfigured between slots of the same color.
1213  
1314 Tiers
1415  
1516 Inscriptions come in five grades, tiers I through V. Higher tiers grant stronger numerical values of the same stat categories. A Tier V blue rune has the same stat category as a Tier I blue rune, but with larger numbers. There is no elemental or build-shaping change between tiers.

2324 Progression Priority
2425  
2526 stamina planning guide, inscriptions are a secondary priority after Flow Veins talents and Ningwu weapons. Do NOT farm inscriptions before account Lv 41. Stamina spent on inscription materials early is more efficiently spent on talents and weapons that give stronger combat-power conversions.

2728 Differences From the MOBA
2829  
2930 The MOBA-style 30-slot, 3-color, 5-tier structure is preserved, but HoK:W introduces a per-Resonance loadout: players can save and swap inscription page configurations for each Resonance. This accommodates the two-Resonance hot-swap combat model where the same player may want different inscription setups for different heroes in a dual-loadout.

3132 Arcana Rune System Explained
3233  
3334 The April 2026 transcripts refer to inscriptions as the arcana rune system. Each equipped rune provides a block of stats, and the stack of equipped runes shapes what a character is good at. Because runes are account-wide, as noted under progressiona single collection of leveled runes supports every hero on the account.

3536 Role-Based Rune Loadouts
3637  
3738 Players customize rune loadouts per role rather than per character. A DPS loadout leans into offensive stats; a healer loadout leans into healing power, crit for heals, and uptime; a tank loadout skews toward mitigation. Swapping between loadouts is a quick change between runs rather than a fresh grind, because the same runes move from kit to kit.

4041 Leveling Arcanas with Arcana Fragments
4142  
4243 Arcanas level up by consuming arcana fragments. Fragments come from two places. First, scrapping old arcanas refunds fragments that can be rolled into a new, higher-priority rune. Second, farming arcana content with vitality produces fresh fragments, and the farming track lets players target a specific arcana type when they want to finish a build. Because the fragments feed the account-wide pool, every hero benefits from the same leveling push.

4445 Targeted Arcana Farming for a Build
4546  
4647 Decide the build first, then the rune types that serve it, and only then spend vitality on arcana farms.Scrap off-role runes to refund fragments toward the chosen loadout rather than hoarding them.Level one role loadout to completion before splitting fragments across a second, because fragments are more efficient concentrated.Combine with the Flow Stone layer under refinement system to lock in a fully specialized endgame build.
