Feature: Become the legend
Legends of Runeterra is now out of beta and there's some new stuff to entice players back. A new region by the name of Bilgewater introduces pirates and sea monsters, as well as some new keywords to the rest of the Runeterra regions. The game offers something for everyone, whether that is the competitive nature of building constructed decks or the unique drafting experience that…
Feature:
Legends of Runeterra has just come out of open beta and it has heavily expanded on its roster of champions. Champions are the strongest units in every deck and the ones you'll be mostly forming your deck around. Each one of the seven different regions, or colour combinations, that you can build your deck around have four champions. We'll be listing exactly what every single…
Feature: All the cards!
Legends of Runeterra is a card game and that means there's a lot of cards that are all sorted into different groups. Here they're called "regions", which are like the colours in Magic the Gathering, or similar ways to categorise decks in other collectable card games. There are a ton of cards for each region, so we've put together a full list of cards that…
Feature: Keyword interactions explained
Legends of Runeterra has a lot of skills and abilities hidden on each of their cards via the use of keywords. They range from being able to prevent damage to a unit, to ensuring an enemy can't block your attackers. With so many keywords though, there are some interactions that are not obvious to those who haven't played much of the game, with the consequence…
Feature: How to import deck codes
With a whole new region introduced in the full release, there are some massive changes to what Legends of Runeterra's best decks are. Long gone are the days when Shadow Isles and Ionia dominated the game, as there has been a rise of new strategies and new key cards.

Feature: Updates, get your updates here!
With recent Runeterra patch notes making some much needed changes, the newest patch (0.9.1) is more here to fix bugs and introduce some new guardians and boards. Detain also now works as it should against champions. In order to keep up with all the changes that will be made to the game, I will be looking over the changes that are being made when every…
Feature: Region rewards explained
Your card selection in Legends of Runeterra might be somewhat limited to start off with. In order to get more cards, you'll either need to buy stuff from the store, or gain as much XP as possible. There are both weekly vaults and reward tracks that contain a bunch of free cards that you can use to build decks.
Feature: Rewards for participating in beta season
Do games like Legends of Runeterra get your competitive urge riled up? If so, ranked mode is a place where good players with decent decks can thrive in competitive matches against other people. You'll even get some nice bonuses for participating in the current beta season, but you may even end up with some nifty rewards based on your progress.
Feature: A new face
You may have noticed during your games of Legends of Runeterra that some players have different icons next to their name. There's plenty to choose from, but we all know deep down the only three correct choices are a ghost shark, a Poro with a mallet, and a cat in a goddamn robot suit. There is good news, in that all these player icons are…
Feature: A change of scenery
Are you bored of the main Legends of Runeterra board? Do you want a change of scenery? Perhaps a lab or an arena would be more appealing places to play. I have some bad news. In order to play in a different place to the Summoners Rift, you have to spend real money. The least we can do is show you how to equip them.
Feature: You can pet the Poro
So you really like Legends of Runeterra, to the point where you want to purchase a new guardian. Guardians are the little avatars to the lower left of every match. You can click on them multiple times and they do things. Poro likes to blow raspberries, yawn, and scratch itself. But what if you fancy a change to a ghost shark? The bad news is…
Feature: Mastering the basics
Legends of Runeterra takes a lot of inspiration from other collectable card games, putting a League of Legends spin on the game's theme. But the biggest departure for many will be how turns are structured. We will teach you how to play Legends of Runeterra, as well as explain the less obvious things about the game.

Feature: How to stack cards
Rounds in Legends of Runeterra are perhaps the most complicated thing to get your head around. It relies on understanding the logic behind how spells resolve, when you can play certain cards, and actions that can take place during combat phases. A lot of how Runeterra works is dependent on understanding a concept Magic players would be familiar with. Let us guide you through how…
Feature: A spicy combination
Drafting modes have been a very popular way to play collectible card games, and Legends of Runeterra has its own spin on the mode. It's called "Expeditions" and it works slightly differently from your conventional draft. For one, it takes about twice as long to finish as you get two tries before the game ends. We'll be going over how to play expeditions, and which…
