Patch 2.4 (14 April 2022) added seven runewords alongside the first Resurrected Ladder season, which began on 28 April 2022. All seven were Ladder-only at launch and can now be made in non-Ladder games as well.
Runewords need a non-magic (grey) base with exactly the number of sockets shown, and the runes must go in the order listed. Like every runeword, they need the expansion: Lord of Destruction or Reign of the Warlock mode in Resurrected.
