Legends of Runeterra is getting its first expansion of 2023, titled Glory in Navori.
Due to blaze onto iOS and PC, the first major expansion of 2023 for Riot’s free to play card battler is heading to Navori and introducing a whole. New realm of content. The drop adds a whole three new champions, Monthly Challenges for The Path of Champions, Rotation and an all-new Dragonmancer event. The three latest additions to the game are Sett, Samira, and Jack the Winner. Each has their own particular attributes:
• Sett brings the combo-lover’s fantasy to life incorporating the new Coin mechanic in order to unleash high cost flurries of powerful effects all in one turn.
• Samira offers a new refresher for the Plunder archetype… with style. Exclusive to Noxus is the ability to reactivate Plunders that are already in play!
• Jack the Winner can’t be bothered by weaklings and smallfry. Like Sett, he’s also big on Coins, but can also be built around Prize Fights or the brand new Keyword introduced in this expansion: Brash.
These newbies bring a bunch of cards to the table. To find out more about them, follow up here. For those that have familiarized themselves with the likes of Five-Punch Pablo and Pocket Picker, you’ll probably realize that a few new mechanics arrive in this patch too. Coins are particularly important. Playing the Coin card will refill your mana, depending on how many times it has stacked, while Brash can only be blocked by enemies with 3 or more health.
Rotation
While the events and upcoming monthly adventures are exciting, we’re expecting a big change with the arrival of Rotation. Mentioned some time ago, Rotation will arrive as part of Glory in Navori. With Rotation, Riot introduces Standard – a format carefully curated with a select group of cards. With a smaller card pool, the competition in Standard is as fierce as it gets. The Eternal format will be the typical LoR format with all cards legal, and the team will spotlight the Eternal mode for competitive play in the last month of each expansion.
If. Like me, all of these changes are better experienced than described means then head of to the official Legends of Runterra website to find out more now and try out what’s new in Riot’s deck building spin off on iOS and PC.
