Gwen snip-snip-snipped her way through the Black Mist, thinking it strange how completely it enveloped the area, and once she had, the enchanted manse stood out amongst the bleak woods like a beacon. Little wonder Gwen was drawn to it. How curious it was--but also, how grand!
She knew that the Black Mist must be driven back from wherever it had spread to, and the joy and light these spirits lent her efforts cut through it readily. If she could help their celebration in the meantime, all the better!
"Needles out!" -

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Damage dealt by Snip Snip! counts for Gwen's level-up, but will not additionally heal if she has
Lifesteal. This is inconsistent with other damaging 
skills.

RegionEvery card in Legends of Runeterra is sorted into a region based off a canon region of 
Runeterra. Cards within a region tend to share mechanics such as certain keywords and tend to synergise well with each other, and combining cards from different regions can lead to unique synergies and playstyles, with their own strengths and weaknesses. Game Modes and deckbuilding rules have specific restrictions on the number of regions that can be in a deck.
ManaMana is the primary resource used to play cards in Legends of Runeterra.
HallowedWhen allies attacks, Hallow the left-most ally attacker, give it +1|+0 that round, for each dead Hallowed ally. This effect can be triggered multiple times per Round.
| Type | Static | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Positive | |
| Generatable | No | |
| Transferable | Yes | |
Level UpLevel Up is a keyword that causes a 
champion card, and all copies of them, to transform into an upgraded version of itself instantly, playing an animation, keeping all effects applied to it and damage taken and counting as the same unit. The vast majority of Champions gain improved stats (most often, an increase of 1 in both Power and Health) when they Level Up, in addition to new/improved effects and keywords.
PowerDictates the damage a unit does in combat, whether attacking or defending. This value can be changed through various cards temporarily or permanently, but each card has a default Power that it returns to if effects are removed.
Collectible cards always have a Rarity gem at the bottom. Most effects which activate 
Random can only create Collectible cards.
Skill spell-like card that can be committed by a unit. Goes on the Spell Stack like a 
Fast or 
Slow spell.
Skills are committed to enact a unit's card text in a way that can be reacted to. If card text creates a Skill, there will usually be an 
icon before the text to indicate this.
The text of skills is usually written as if it's on the unit itself, but they count as their own card. In particular, damage dealt by a skill is not dealt by the generating unit.
Drain
Nexus by the same amount.
Barrier and 
Blockade completely render Healing ineffective, but the excess damage of Overwhelm still works normally (in case the damage is greater than health).
Tough will reduce the amount of health recovered by 1.
Some effects like "Drain X to do something", which won't 
fizzle even if it doesn't deal any damage.
Fast spells can be played at any time during the user's turn (including during combat and while there's spells on the Stack), multiple can be played in a turn in any order, and they can be played alongside a Slow spell, though they have to be above it on the stack. Fast spells allow the opponent to respond with their own spells.
Fast spells committed while 
attacking are responded to (for the first response) at the same time as 
blockers are committed. Further responses happen using normal Spell Stack rules, and then the spells resolve just before the units in combat 
strike.
Effect triggers 
when the round starts.
Overwhelm attacking or when a spell with Overwhelm is dealing damage, if the dealing damage exceeds the blocker unit's Health, the excess damage goes to the Nexus and it is called Overwhelm damage. Tough reduces Overwhelm damage by 1. If the blocker is 
gone, all the damage goes through to the Nexus.
| Type | Static | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Positive | |
| Generatable | Yes | |
| Transferable | Yes | |
RallyIf the player doesn't have an 
attack token, they gain one.
Lifesteal Strike; 
Impact it has when survived; and its own non-
Last Breath effects. Damaging Skills do not trigger Lifesteal's heal, despite the damage being considered being dealt by the unit itself for purpose of other effects such as Level Up.
Barrier and Blockade completely render Lifesteal ineffective, but the excess damage of Overwhelm still works normally (if the damage is greater than health). Tough will reduce the amount of health recovered by 1.

SeeA unit sees an action happen if it is on the board when it happens.
Unit card Champion or a 
Follower card. A unit card can be played by spending 
Mana equal to its cost, and fulfilling any additional conditions in the card text, which summons it. A unit has a Cost, 
Power and 
Health. A unit can also have additional card text that has its own effects, usually only when the unit is alive.Ally in card text refers to an allied unit. Enemy in card text refers to one of your opponent's units.
Spells
speed of a spell dictates when it can be played, and whether the opponent can respond.
The Spell Stack: Once one or more Fast or Slow spells have been played, it can be responded / reacted to by the opponent with one or more Fast or Burst spells. Fast spells played are added to the stack, where the most recent one placed is the first to resolve. Once the response is confirmed by pressing the Button, the opponent has a chance to react, and this continues until both players pass. Only 10 spells can be on the stack at once, and the 10th spell may only be Burst.
- Examples of this are when a unit is dragged into the Attack or Block position, or when a spell is dragged onto the board.
- When a spell is declared, then undeclared, it's placed in the rightmost position in the hand.
- When an attack or block is declared, then undeclared, the unit(s) are placed in the rightmost position on the board.
Death unit is reduced to 0 Health or is otherwise killed, it is removed from play.Effects that specifically kill a unit go through
Barrier.
Killed units are added to a list of units that have died in the game, which the game interacts with in various ways. Multiple copies of a unit can be on this list.
A unit killing another refers to it reducing another's Health to 0 with a Strike or with its own card text.
Skills generated by the text don't count as the same card and therefore do not count as killing for this purpose. See Skill.
