Flavour

Ryze crested the ridge, accompanied by 5Kayle's silent 3 servant. He looked down on a land scarred by war, and caught sight of the darkin monstrosities warring below. For centuries, he had watched on as humanity veered from one catastrophe to another. What if, he thought, his efforts were futile, and Runeterra was doomed to die?"

Flavour

Ryze pulled himself back to the present. The mindscapes he'd visited had answered his questions, and filled him with purpose. The flaws of Runeterra's people, great as they were, should not condemn them to oblivion.

Notes

• When he activates the Level 2 effect on Attack with 5 World Runes, all enemy Equipments, Landmark, and Units are Obliterated, then the Nexus.
  • In very specific cases, this can lead to tie games instead of a win for the Ryze player, for example when a captured unit is resummoned that wins the game with its summon effect.

Trivia

• Internally:
  • The Rune Mage is called The Rune King
• A 3 Winged Messenger is featured in his Level 1 artwork.
• The 2 Shard of Violence is featured in his Level 2 artwork.

Legends of Runeterra

Legends of Runeterra content

Region

Every 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Mana

Mana is the primary resource used to play cards in Legends of Runeterra.

Legends of Runeterra content

Origin

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

Legends of Runeterra content

Round Start

Effect triggers when the round starts.

Legends of Runeterra content

Level Up

Level 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Power

Dictates 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Unit Health

Dictates the amount of damage that can be taken by a unit. If a unit reaches 0 health, it dies.

Legends of Runeterra content

Collectible

Collectible cards are ones that can be earned through various experience rewards and can be purchased. These cards can be used to create decks in the Deck Builder, which can then be used in various Constructed game modes. Some effects only interact with Collectible cards.

---

Collectible cards always have a Rarity gem at the bottom. Most effects which activate Random can only create Collectible cards.

Legends of Runeterra content

SpellShield

Units with SpellShield is immune to all effects of the next SINGLE enemy spell or skill that affects them. Removed when the unit is affected by an enemy spell or skill.

---

The effects (or the rest effects) that have affected SpellShield units are still working as normal (it's just that they don't affect SpellShield units). For example: 2 Vile Feast on SpellShield unit still summons a 1 Spiderling; OR 5 Tri-beam Improbulator still summons a unit.

If multiple spells or skills interact, SpellShield will take effect before Barrier.

Type		Static
Status		Positive
Generatable		Yes
Transferable		Yes

Legends of Runeterra content

Attack

Effects with the Attack Vocab will trigger immediately when an attack is committed. Attack effects are resolved from left to right, at the same time as Support effects.

Legends of Runeterra content

Burst

Burst spells resolve instantaneously after being committed.

They can be committed at any time during the user's turn. They are added to the stack, but resolve instantaneously during the turn they are committed, so functionally aren't. They commit as soon as any required targets/choices are declared.

---

• Skills can appear to be Burst, but they are responded to the same as fast spells.
• Burst is the only type of card that can be on the 10th position on the Spell Stack.

Legends of Runeterra content

Focus

Focus spells resolve instantaneously after being committed.

They can be committed so long as combat isn't happening and there is no spells on the Stack. They are added to the stack, but resolve instantaneously during the turn they are committed, so functionally aren't. They commit as soon as any required targets/choices are declared.

Legends of Runeterra content

Obliterate

Completely remove specified copies of cards and their 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Summon

Brings a unit or landmark onto the board.

Legends of Runeterra content

See

A unit sees an action happen if it is on the board when it happens.

Legends of Runeterra content

Unit card

A unit is one of the main card types and can be either a 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Spells

Spells are non-unit cards that can be played to trigger an effect. The 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Skill

A 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Declare

An action is declared when it is 'done' but not commited.

---

• 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Death

When a 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Commit

An action is committed when it is 'confirmed', usually by pressing The Button. It cannot be reversed, without extra card effects. Committing an action ends your turn (except in the case of Burst spells, or non-manual commitments such as Skills).

---

Casting Burst Spells and Playing a unit are notable actions that are committed as soon as they're declared.

---

Runeterra region: Shurima, Icathia
