Riftbound, the League of Legends card game, caps off the year with its latest booster set, Radiance. This marks the fifth set in the TCG, and a highly anticipated collaboration with Riot Games Music. In addition to some fan favorite iterations of Legends, we’re of course introduced to some new mechanics and new Legends, like Evelynn and the IGN-exclusively-revealed Mordekaiser. We’re also getting another two-player constructed starter kit in the form of the Evelynn and Seraphine showdown decks. As a fan of Riot Games Music and groups like K/DA, this set is looking to be an exciting drop not just for players but for a whole different segment within the Riot fanbase.
Arguably, the most exciting addition of every new set are the new mechanics to play around with. In Radiance, we have three new keywords with Deploy, Show Off, and Disarm. Deploy is another take on gear that focuses heavily on battlefield control versus activating abilities at base or equipping attachments directly onto units. For example, the Bushwhack Trap gear allows the owner or ally controlling the associated battlefield to play another hidden card there, even though the limit is usually one per battlefield. Show Off allows players to reveal a card from their hand or choose a friendly card on the field to activate its abilities to a certain degree. The spell Rousing Display may have the player reveal a card of energy cost 7 or more to gain the full effect. If the criteria is successfully met, Rousing Display plays four token units instead of two.
