Description
This collection is no longer being maintained. This was mostly for allowing people to see which characters supported the abyss rune buddy, and now that it is no longer necessary, neither is this collection. Thank you to all of the devs that supported rune buddy for the time it ran.

PSA: The 5th buddy slot crashes your game, no matter what buddy it is! To fix this, go to Extras > Steam Workshop and change the order of your buddies to be able to use them again, as long as they're outside of that slot.

This collection contains every character (that I've been made aware of) that has support for my Abyss Rune Buddy! (as well as the buddy itself.)
Feel free to leave a comment if you'd like your character to be added to the collection. I will review the character and make sure the character has support, then if they do, I will add the character to the collection.

Note that I won't add characters with less than 7 of the 15 runes set. I have to draw the line somewhere.
