Re-App Calculator

What is a re-app?

A Reappraisal Stone rerolls the four substats of a Legend rune while the set, slot, main stat and innate (prefix) stat stay the same. A Violent slot 4 Crit Damage rune with an Accuracy innate and poor substats can come back with Speed, Crit Rate and HP% — and keep everything that made it useful. Ancient Legend runes use the Ancient Reappraisal Stone.

Stones are scarce, so the hard part is choosing the rune. The SWLens Re-App Calculator looks at your whole rune box, finds the categories where you have the fewest fast runes, and ranks every rune that qualifies so the stone goes where your account gains the most.

Opening the calculator

In the web app, open the sidebar group Tools and choose Re-App Calculator (on phones: More → Tools). You can also reach it from the Tools hub at /webapp/tools, or from the Re-app calculator button on the Rune Lens analytics tab. Add ?tab=ancient to the address to open the Ancient tab directly.

• Log in — the calculator is not a public page; logged-out visitors are sent to the login screen.
• Import your SWEX JSON — without it the page shows an “Import your SWEX JSON” card with an Import JSON button, because the ranking needs your rune box. See the SWEX guide if you don’t have the file yet.
• Free — no Premium plan and no tokens: everything runs in your browser.

The Re-apps and Ancient Re-apps tabs

The gold header carries the calculator’s two tabs. They share the filters, the gap table and the ranking rules — only the rune grade changes:

Switching tabs re-opens the breakdown of that tab’s top rune. Filters are plain page state: they reset when you reload.

Rune box gap analysis

The Rune box gap analysis card shows where your fast runes are thin. It counts only 6★ Violent, Will, Swift and Despair runes with a base SPD substat of 20 or more (any grade, equipped or not), and it is the same on both tabs and with any filter — your set and slot toggles don’t change it.

The seven rows

Six categories are ranked. SPD (Slot 2) always reads 0/10 with a “—” rank: a SPD main stat can’t also roll a SPD substat, so there is never anything to count. Slot 2 SPD re-apps get a fixed gap score of 50 instead.

What each column means

Filters

The filter bar sits between the gap table and the rune list:

The rune list and the priority breakdown

Targets are sorted by priority, highest first, and the top rune opens expanded. Each row shows:

• its rank and where it is — a monster portrait (with an element-coloured edge) or Inventory;
• the set icon and the in-game name, such as “+15 Intricate Violent Rune (4)”, in its grade colour;
• a SPD n badge with the base SPD substat;
• the main stat, the innate (in blue) and the substats, with grinds shown as an amber “+n”;
• PRIORITY (its rank score) and the RuneLens crest with its SCORE (RL score).

An amber left edge marks a rune that fills one of your top-3 gaps. Click a row (or press Enter / Space) to open its Priority breakdown; one row is open at a time.

Inside the breakdown

Which runes qualify

A rune is listed only if it passes every rule below:

1. Set — switched on in the filter bar (Violent and Will by default, Swift, Despair or any of the 19 other sets on request).
2. Grade — Legend on the Re-apps tab, Ancient Legend on the Ancient Re-apps tab.
3. Stars — 6★ only.
4. Innate — Accuracy 6–8%, Crit Rate 5–6%, or a max-roll Crit Damage 7% / RES 8%; flat HP / ATK / DEF only with Flat innates on.
5. Main stat — valid for its slot (table below).
6. Speed — its base SPD substat is under 20 (grinds don’t count). Runes at 18–19 SPD are still listed.
7. Level — any level, except a rune below +12 that already has a SPD substat: power it up first, the next rolls may land on Speed.
8. RL score — under the Rune Lens threshold (300 by default).

Never listed

• Runes with no innate, or an HP%, ATK% or DEF% innate.
• SPD innates — a SPD innate blocks a SPD substat, so a reappraisal can’t make the rune fast.
• Lower innate rolls — Accuracy under 6%, Crit Rate under 5%, Crit Damage under 7%, RES under 8%.

Valid main stats by slot

A Crit Rate innate on slot 4 qualifies under any of those main stats — there is no longer a rule tying it to a Crit Damage main stat.

Priority scoring

Every listed rune gets one priority score, and the list is sorted by it:

Innate score (2,000–14,000)

Each tier is worth 2,000 more than the one below it. Slot, slot depth and gap add at most about 1,400 together, so a better innate always ranks higher; the rest only orders runes within a tier.

• Tier 1 — 14,000: Accuracy 8%
• Tier 2 — 12,000: Accuracy 7%
• Tier 3 — 10,000: Accuracy 6%
• Tier 4 — 8,000: Crit Rate 6%
• Tier 5 — 6,000: Crit Rate 5%
• Tier 6 — 4,000: Crit Damage 7% or RES 8% (max roll)
• Tier 7 — 2,000: flat HP, ATK or DEF (only with Flat innates)

Slot score (50–100)

• Slots 4 and 6: 100 — “Critical”
• Slot 2: 75 — “Medium”
• Slots 1, 3 and 5: 50 — “Lower”

Slot depth (0–450, slots 4 and 6)

The calculator counts your 6★ Violent, Will, Swift and Despair runes in that slot with a base SPD substat of 20+ (any grade, any main stat, equipped or not). Slot depth = (10 − that count) × 45. With 8 fast slot 6 runes and only 1 fast slot 4 rune, a slot 4 re-app gets 405 points and a slot 6 one 90 — so within the same innate tier, and with similar gap scores, the slot 4 rune ranks first.

Gap score (0 to about 845)

The gap score is the need score of the rune’s category:

• HP%, ATK% or DEF% main stat on slot 4 or 6 → that combined category;
• slot 4 Crit Rate or Crit Damage, and slot 6 Accuracy → their own categories;
• slot 2 SPD → a fixed 50;
• slots 1, 3 and 5 → 0 (they belong to no category).

Speed spread was called “depth gap” in earlier versions. The RL score plays no part in the priority — it only decides whether a rune is shown.

The RuneLens (RL) score

The RL score is SWLens’s rune quality number, the same one the Rune Lens scanner shows. It measures how well each substat rolled, plus a bonus for the innate:

• Legend and Ancient Legend runes, and slot 2 SPD runes, count RES% and ACC% substats.
• Other runes leave RES% and ACC% substats out (a RES% or ACC% innate still counts).
• Flat HP, ATK and DEF substats never count.

Re-apps on the dashboard and in Rune Lens

Home dashboard: the Rune overview card

After you import your JSON, the Rune overview card on the home dashboard shows TOTAL, EQUIPPED and INVENTORY, then RE-APP, POWER-UP, KEEP and SELL. RE-APP is an extra flag: a re-app target is still counted in Keep, Sell or Power-up too. The card’s Keep threshold (slider 0–500, default 230, saved in your browser) decides KEEP vs SELL — it never changes the re-app lists.

Click RE-APP to open the Re-app targets list (“Sorted by re-app priority for your rune box”). It has its own RL threshold (empty, “None”, each time it opens — type a score to hide runes at or above it), Sets (Violent, Will, Swift and Despair on), Slots, a Modes → Ancient switch (on), a search box (“Search by set, slot or monster…”) and a Highest first / Lowest first sort.

Rune Lens

• The Analytics tab of Rune Lens shows a Re-app targets count (Legend Violent, Will, Swift and Despair runes worth a reappraisal) with a Re-app calculator button that opens this tool.
• While scanning, the Rune Lens overlay can label a rune RE-APP in orange; the re-app settings live in its Advanced settings. See the Rune Lens guide.

On phones

The phone layout keeps both tabs. The gap table becomes a four-column list (Rank, Category, Runes 20+, Need) — tap a category for Max SPD, Elite, Avg SPD, Slot 4, Slot 6 and Rel. gap — and the filters move into a Filters section with set and slot tiles, an Other sets sheet, Flat innates and the Rune Lens threshold.

Tips for spending your stones

• Start at the top of the right tab. Legend stones on Re-apps, Ancient stones on Ancient Re-apps — the #1 rune is already open with its reasons.
• Look for the amber edge. Within a tier, a gap fill improves the category your box needs most.
• Turn on Swift and Despair (or Other sets) only if you really run those sets on fast units; extra sets dilute the list.
• Hide slots 1, 3 and 5 if you only want the high-impact slots; they score lower anyway.
• Lower the Rune Lens threshold (say to 250) to see only runes with truly poor substats.
• Re-import after re-apping. Upload a fresh SWEX JSON and the gap table and ranks update to your new box.
