LoR Patch History

Legends of Runeterra content

Strike

A striking unit attempts to deal damage to its target using its power (or Health if it's Formidable). A non- Formidable unit with 0 power does not strike when commanded to do so.

---

Strike effects occur when a unit strikes anything, Nexus or Unit.

The strike itself (and any effects that are triggered on the strike, including Nexus Strike on Overwhelm and Lifesteal) will resolve BEFORE any of the resulting effects (often "kill" or death effects such as Last Breath). However, strike effects do not trigger if the unit is obliterated after striking.

Legends of Runeterra content

Round Start

Effect triggers when the round starts.

Legends of Runeterra content

Imbue

These abilities trigger when an allied spell is played.

In the case of Imbue effects tied to a unit on the board (eg. When I See you play a spell), the Imbue icon () will be visible on the card alongside other active keywords.

Legends of Runeterra content

Play

Play is the act of playing a card by manually dragging it from your hand to the board.

Some units have Play effects, which are optional effects that occur when they are played. Note that this is distinct from "When I'm summoned" effects: unlike "When I'm summoned" effects, Play effects do not trigger if a card is summoned another way.

Legends of Runeterra content

Everywhere

Something that applies everywhere applies to all instances of the specified card that exist or could ever exist that game, living, dead, in hand, in deck, in play, not yet created, in discard. No matter what, this effect applies to them. Although, the effect will only apply once to every card, and can be removed through normal effects that remove other card effects, like Capturing units, Silencing units or units Dying.

Legends of Runeterra content

Elusive

Units with Elusive can only be blocked by another Elusive unit, or a unit with Sharpsight.

---

Non-Elusive units can be forced to block Elusive units by effects that force them to block.

Type		Static
Status		Positive
Generatable		Yes
Transferable		Yes

Legends of Runeterra content

Nightfall

If you have ALREADY played the card in a round, it is YOUR Night for that round.

While in your Night, if you play a Nightfall unit or spell, it will trigger Nightfall effect, after its Play effect (if any).

Legends of Runeterra content

Phase

Pick the next Moon Weapon for 3Aphelios.

Legends of Runeterra content

Silence

Card text is covered with a painted 'X' when silenced.

A silenced Unit has all card text, keywords, and any buff effects removed.

---

New effects can still be applied to a Silenced unit. Aura effects (from another source) will re-applied to the Silenced unit . The Unit Groups and names are preserved - it still counts as a copy of a unit and member of the group.

Type		Static
Status		Negative
Generatable		No
Transferable		No

Legends of Runeterra content

Fury

When a unit with Fury kills another unit with a strike or its effect and survives, it gains +1| +1.

Type		Static
Status		Positive
Generatable		Yes
Transferable		Yes

Legends of Runeterra content

Landmarks

Landmarks are a type of card in 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.

Legends of Runeterra content

Ephemeral

When on the board, units with Ephemeral will die after they strike or the round ends. Ephemeral is not removed if the unit survives.

---

Ephemeral units dying to the keyword's effect are not slain. If they would die to a strike, they die to that instead of Ephemeral.

Type		Static
Status		Negative
Generatable		No
Transferable		No

Legends of Runeterra content

Slay

Killing an ally or enemy by using your cards via damage, strike or direct kill effect granting a credit for Slaying.

Self-killing doesn't count, like from Ephemeral or "kill me" effect of Husks.

---

Units need to survive to trigger its OWN Slay effect.
