5 The Warrior, a Celestial card| “ | "Look to the night sky. Take in the stars' brilliance, and let them suffuse you with their healing light." |

Celestial is a special subtype unique to a small set of non-collectible 
Targonian cards covering the full range of 
costs. They can initially be generated in-game using the 
Invoke mechanic (6 exception), by some other Celestials, and 
10Aurelion Sol.
The Celestial cards are thematically associated with the constellations and ethereal beings of the celestial realm. They're also largely associated with Aurelion Sol's gradual escape from the control of 
Targon and eventual goal of 15 destroying it, and the world of 
Runeterra itself.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
- Celestial cards are not collectible and can only be summoned by using cards with Invoke.
- The
units with a mana cost of 7 or higher share the text "When I'm 
summoned, grant me +1|+0 for each Celestial card you played this game." - Most of the
spells relate to 
obliterating enemy units or dealing damage. - A common strategy is to use Invoke often, stalling the game with the lower cost spells and units.
- 4 The Traveler is a solid choice as it leads both a unit on the board and another option to Invoke.
4 Written in Stars and 2 The Messenger allow the player to draw the cards they need.- After invoking enough times, the buffed 7 The Destroyer, 8 The Immortal Fire, 9 The Great Beyond and 10 The Scourge will be able to close the game.
- 10 Living Legends works well with 10Aurelion Sols leveled up version, generating up to 10 free cards.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Celestial, along with Treasure, only includes non-collectible cards.
- Unlike other types, Celestial includes both units and spells.

Random can only create Collectible cards.
Targon

Runeterra region: Targon, Celestial Realm
ManaMana is the primary resource used to play cards in Legends of Runeterra.
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.
Obliterate
attachments from the current game.
When cards are obliterated from either player's deck or hand, they are shown to both of them.
Obliterated units are not considered 
dead or to have died.

Shurima summoning and to facilitate slaying units for swift aggression, whittling and weathering down the opponent with large numbers of units, de-buffing effects and board-wide effects, while using mechanics such as Predict and Countdown to set up and guarantee wins, and to have the right cards just when you need them.
RuneterraUnlike other regions, Runeterra cards have unique deckbuilding rules, dictated by the origins of the cards in it, with only one card from Runeterra able to be put into the deck.
Champions Unit.
A champion is able to 
Level Up to transform it and every other allied copy of it in the game that could ever exist into a new card instantly, keeping all effects applied to it and damage taken, which has its own interactions as well. While there is an allied champion alive, any copies of it in hand are instead a Champion Spell.
FollowersFollowers are a type of unit card in 
Legends of Runeterra, with numerous cards that only interact with them.
Landmarks Legends of Runeterra that take up a space on the board, like units, but can't interact with the same mechanics as units - for example they can't 
Attack or 
Block (See also: 
Immobile), don't have Health or Power, and can't 
strike.Text that can affect Landmarks will explicitly refer to them.
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.
Equipment Legends of Runeterra that equip to a unit (called Bearer) as a separate entity. While equipped, it shares the stats buffs also its positive keywords to its Bearer. (This sharing cannot be interacted with).
Equipment can be played by 
Spell Mana.
Collectable cards from 
Runeterra have a specified unique Origin card (or 'Origin') associated with them. Each distinct card in the deck with an Origin counts as one of the deck's regions. The Origin of these cards allows specific cards to be added to the deck regardless of their region.
Origins can also have an effect that is active from the start of the game and throughout, if there is a card with them in the deck at the start of the game
NexusThe Nexus represents the player's health. Apart from mode-specific exceptions, it has a maximum of 20 Health points, which it starts the game at. It cannot go above its maximum health. But maximum health can be increased, by cards like 9 Gorlith the Unscalable, capped at 99.
It is destroyed when its health is depleted or the player otherwise loses the game (eg. 4Fiora or decking out)—at which point the game ends and its player suffers a loss.
Spell Mana Spell and Equipment cards along with Mana. These cards prioritise using Spell Mana before they use regular Mana.Unlike regular Mana, Spell Mana doesn't completely refresh each round, instead up to 3 remaining Mana from the end of the previous round is converted into Spell Mana. Spell Mana is conserved between rounds, and a player can have a maximum of 3.
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.
