Gameplay UX Updates

• Nexus Health Previsualization
  • With Nexus Health Previsualization, you'll see exactly how much damage you're dealing, or how much your Nexus is taking. The indicator will get a bit more emphatic if incoming damage is lethal.
• Unit Destruction Previsualization
  • This update makes it so units will now display cracks when they're facing lethal damage during an interaction.

Miscellaneous

Updated the loading screen for encounters in Path of Champions.

Bugfixes

• Revised an inaccurate description of 3Level 2's ability - no functionality has changed. Previously, the description implied that she would gain +2|+2 on level-up; her level 2 stats, as well as the bonus, rather than the intended +1|+1 from the level up increasing her base stats.
• Fixed a few crashes related to reconnecting, tutorials, and spell swapping.
• 4Pantheon can now complete the Call of Destiny and Cuddle Buddies challenges.
• Updated text descriptions for some cards to remove typos, fix translations, and better align cards with game mechanics.
• Fixed several UI, UX, and general visual bugs to improve game clarity and player experience.
• Dates have been corrected in the Tournament tab for A Curious Journey’s Seasonal Tournament - the correct dates are May 14 (Open Rounds) and May 21 (Playoffs).

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

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.

Overwhelm

When a unit with Overwhelm is 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.

Challenger

Challenger Diagram

Challenging: A unit Challenging another is it forcing the other to commit a block against it, even if it wouldn't be able to block it normally (eg. Can't Block). The player whose unit was Challenged cannot change what unit the Challenged unit is blocking through normal means, though it can be forced out of that position through effects such as Swapping and Stunning.

Challenger: When declaring an attack, with, the player can choose which enemies allies with Challenger will Challenge when the attack is committed, by dragging them into the blocking position.

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

Barrier

When a unit with Barrier is summoned, it grants itself a (for each Barrier it has) that reduces the next instance of single damage it would take to 0. Obliterated and Killing bypass this effect. Removed after it takes effect, OR at Round End.

---

Drain and Lifesteal don't heal on Barrier unit. Barrier units only negate the Overwhelm damage equal its health.

When Barrier take effect, that unit is considered as survive.

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

Obliterate

Legends of Runeterra content

Nexus Strike

Units with Nexus Strike effects trigger them when they strike the enemy Nexus.

Legends of Runeterra content

Phase

Pick the next Moon Weapon for 3Aphelios.

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

Stun

Units that have Stun ('are stunned') cannot have attacks or blocks declared with them. Granting a unit Stun ('stunning it') removes it from combat, even if they were challenged before. You can, however, challenge a unit previously stunned. Stun lasts until Round End.

---

A unit that is Stunned can be Stunned again, and is counted as being Stunned again.
