Legends Of Runeterra Rolls Out ‘Rise Of The Underworld’ Expansion
The Rise of the Underworld expansion is now live in League of Legends-inspired online strategy card game. The expansion features 43 new cards, including the champions Ekko, Pyke, and Rek’sai, and the new keyword – Lurk.
“What lurks in the depths of Legends of Runeterra’s newest expansion? Let’s hope you don’t find out the hard way… In Rise of the Underworlds, you’ll encounter creatures unlike anything seen in Runeterra as you know it. Our newest keyword - Lurk - powers up new Lurker followers anywhere with +1|+0 if you attack with allies while one lurks on top of your deck. Some Lurkers have powerful bonus effects when Lurk activates for them as well. If you plan on playing with Lurkers, think ahead; you’ll need to be able to predict what’s on top of your deck to use them effectively...”
The expansion also introduces an extensive list of live card updates, the largest live design update that the game has seen since the multi-platform game launched on PC and mobile last year. “The scope of changes in this update is much larger than past live design updates, because we’ve packaged together a number of live design opportunities that we’ve identified over time,” said Riot.
“The changes below will provide us with a better foundation to make live changes in the future. We’ll be back as soon as we have an updated philosophy of how we’re going to make these changes in a way that is sustainable, true to our values, and will hopefully keep the metagame fresh,” they added.
