I have three Damage symbols at three Threat. If resolved vs Rune Golem (Four Defense), how many wounds get applied?

One or two?

Two.

3 x 3 = 9 - 4 = 5 - 4 = he ded

I was thinking of something wonky.

For whatever reason, I thought each damage symbol needed to be assigned one at a time to a model until there was enough to cause a wound, then repeat.

I think I carried that 'one at a time' business over from another game.

So like... spend one symbol for three, a second for six, cause one wound, lose the excess, spend the third for three and not quite have enough?

Thankfully, that isn't the way damage is applied in RMG.

Yep. Except the spillover isn't wasted if it's enough to remove another model. Then repeat.

I haz many games on the brain.

the damage mechanic in the book, is worded REALLY REALLY badly. Seriously. I dunno about the rest of you, but I had to read it 3 times, and Im still kinda looking at it sideways.
