Legends of Runeterra: Worldwalker expansion details

Champions with no region but limitless deckbuilding opportunities

New champions in Legends of Runeterra: WorldWalker

The four new champions in the upcoming Legends of Runeterra expansion are Jhin, Annie, Bard and Illaoi. Both Jhin and Bard are the two Runeterran champions Riot has introduced to the game. Runeterrran champions are champions that do not belong to any region. When you add a Runeterran champion to your deck, it acts as one of your regions and every Runterran champion comes with a unique deckbuilding rule or origin. This rule defines which cards players can use alongside the champion, leading to several deckbuilding options.

Jhin allows players to add any card with skills into the deck. Jhin’s origin effect is The Virtuoso, and for every 3 fast spells, slow spells and skills you use while you behold Jhin, play Lotus Trap. Lotus Trap is a skill that deals 1 damage to enemy Nexus and Jhin helps to stun the weakest opponent. While there are several options to pair Jhin with based on lore, LoR senior game designer Jonathan Moorman confirmed the champion synergizes very well with Annie.

Furthermore, Bard and his musical allies plant piles of Chimes in your deck to grant a huge stat boon to your cards. Boon is a new keyword in LoR, and they are unique effects that add another card to your deck and activate when drawn.

Meanwhile, Illaoi summons and powers up devastating tentacles to take down the enemy Nexus.
