Short answer: Yes.

Long Answer:

When someone loses to you, you do the same damage to them as if you had attacked them, the exception being when your generals have a reflect ability (Tora, Daphne, Persephone). With them, you get a bonus that reduces your damage and reflects it back, with more reflected if you have your damage rune equipped.

As an example. Joe attacks you and loses. You have a Level 26 (+100) damage rune. Without it equipped, you would do 80-160 damage (depending on their resistance). With it equipped, you would do 180-260.

Now, add a Level 8 Daphne (25 deflected +10% of damage rune), and the damage your opponent above takes would go to 105-185 without your rune, and 215-295 with it equipped.
