Remove Runes

At the Rune Shop, you can remove Runes from a character. The removed Rune will be returned to the character's inventory as an orb, ready to be attached to a different character.

Runes Exclusive to a Character Cannot be Removed

Falcon Rune

The hero's Soul Eater and Valeria's Falcon Rune are character-exclusive Runes that cannot be removed. In addition, only one Rune can be equipped to a character at a time, so characters who have their own Runes cannot be equipped with another one.

Some non character-exclusive Runes cannot be removed

Characters Rune That Cannot Be Removed From Them
Alen Rage Rune
Kai Haziness Rune
Grenseal Thunder Rune
Sheena Lightning Rune
Fukien Resurrection Rune
Hellion Mother Earth Rune

There are certain Runes that cannot be removed once they are equipped to particular characters, even though they are not character-exclusive Runes. Once these characters are equipped with certain Runes, they cannot be equipped with another.
