A Cham rune is a high rune which can be socketed into equipment in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. The few rune words using Cham are not particularly popular, but Cham runes remain valuable for their Cannot Be Frozen property, and for their rarity as a rune, second only to Zod.

Effects[]

Equipment type Effects
Weapon Freeze Target +3
Body armor or helm Cannot Be Frozen
Shield Cannot Be Frozen

Socketing an item with a Cham rune increases the item's level requirement to 67, unless it was already higher.

A Cham rune is one of only a handful of sources of the Cannot Be Frozen attribute, important for protecting heroes reliant on attack speed from being chilled. Socketing a Cham rune in a helm, shield or armor can free up an equipment slot normally dedicated to getting Cannot Be Frozen, such as a ring slot for Raven Frost, for a more offensive option.

Sources[]

The Act 4 (H) Good treasure class has a chance to drop a Cham rune, as does the Act 5 (H) Good treasure class.

In single-player, open or ladder games only, the Horadric Cube can transmute two Jah runes and one flawless ruby into one Cham rune.
