Dear Support

Base Q&A
Question : Answer :
 * Home Base defense power & Attack Screen defense power show different values
 * Do runes affect the entire base or only the particular monument's island?

Thank you for contacting War Dragons Support.

Like what you said, runes do affect a base's Defense Power. Removing them from your monuments do decrease the Defense Power, which may be the reason why you noticed your base's Defense Power dropping. It is true that our development team is looking into an issue with some bases' Defense Power dropping; however, for those cases, no adjustments were made in the bases by their owners.

As for your other question, runes only apply to the specific island where these were equipped to. For this reason, it would be advisable to plan where you would be equipping your runes/glyphs to.

The Defense Power is only an estimate as to how strong a base can withstand attacks. However, this does not actually tell if the layout of the base is effective or not. Adding runes will do increase the base's Defense Power, but you'll still have to consider if the runes you placed will actually enhances the towers on your islands. I hope this helps!
