When using Combination Runes, look to synergize your staff with any Aurora also being cast, as their rune cost reduction does not apply to Combination Runes. For example, there is no benefit to using a {{ItemIcon|Fire Battlestaff}} with {{SpellIcon|Fire Wave}} if you are casting the spell with {{ItemIcon|Smoke Rune|Smoke Runes}}, but there would be a benefit of using a {{ItemIcon|Air Battlestaff}} with {{SpellIcon|Fire Wave}} if you were also casting {{SpellIcon|Surge II}}. | When using Combination Runes, look to synergize your staff with any Aurora also being cast, as their rune cost reduction does not apply to Combination Runes.
