Diablo 4 - B-Tier Classes B-Tier Great Rune of the UnbornGreat Rune of the Unborn

Morgott's Great Rune is the best Great Rune to use because it increases your current max HP by 25%, fitting all builds in any scenario. Although damage increase is desirable, being able to tank more hits allows you to survive longer and keep your Runes intact.

To maximize the use of Morgott's Great Rune, it's best to use all HP-boosting buffs first before using the rune arc. All the HP accumulated from other sources will be increased from the Great Rune.

An alternative for this is Radahn's Great Rune which only offers a 15% increase to your max HP, but it also increases your FP and Stamina by the same amount.

How to Use Great Runes and Where to Activate Them

Restore the Great Rune's Power at a Divine Tower

Go to each boss's Divine Tower to activate the power of their Great Rune. You will need to defeat the corresponding boss to access the area.

The Great Rune of the Unborn does not apply to this step as defeating Rennala grants you the full power of the Great Rune immediately.
