Dark Harvest Rune Page

Primary Runes

Keystone

Dark Harvest - Dark Harvest doesn't have a limited range, so you can collect souls from enemies across the map with your Mushrooms' poison, and with each soul you collect, the more effective the poison becomes. In short, this allows your E and R to deal more damage the more you use them.

First Row

Cheap Shot - Cheap Shot allows you to deal extra damage against enemies you slow, meaning that since your Mushrooms slow enemies, your poison will be more potent on anyone who walks through them.

Second Row

Eyeball Collection allows you to stack more AP, strengthening your poison. To be fair, I haven't really tested the other two options, so I'll look more into those.

Third Row

Ultimate Hunter - Mo' Mushrooms Mo' Poison

Secondary Runes

First Pick

Absolute Focus - most of the time, you won't get into fights where you lose large chunks of health, so the extra AP from this rune will make your Shrooms that little bit nastier.

Second Pick

Gathering Storm - extra AP every 10 minutes to help you crush that late game.

(I guess you could play around with the secondary runes, I'll test more and come back to them).

Arcane Comet Rune Page

Primary Runes

Keystone

Arcane Comet - Good for early game poke, and ties in well with the 'slap' idea behind the build.

First Row

Manaflow Band - helps with your Mana sustain so you don't run out as often

Second Row

Absolute Focus - intended as a poke build, and given that most Top Lane champions's range isn't as great as yours, this rune fits nicely into the build, but you can always swap it for Transcendence if you know that you'll struggle to remain above 70% HP.

Third Row

Gathering Storm - the longer you play for, the harder you'll slap.

Secondary Runes

First Pick

Ghost Poro - laying Wards around the place will help with vision (obvious, I know), but will also mean that you get extra AP whenever a ward expires. You can always go for Eyeball Collection if you forget to lay wards or if you think that you can get a lot of early kills.

Second Pick

Ingenious Hunter - the extra Item Haste means that Luden's Tempest will activate more often. You can always swap it out for Relentless Hunter (extra MS) or Ultimate Hunter (lower R cooldown).

(Like above, will play around with secondary runes and come back to them)

Still working on this guide, all feedback appreciated!
