Look carefully

at your

starting hand. Have

you got cards that

will be useful to

have in the first few

rounds? If not, it’s a

good idea to replace

some or all of them

and hope for

something better.

TUTORTIME

Legends of Runeterra’s tutorial does a

great job of introducing even complete

card game newbies to the core concepts.

But even if it all seems obvious, give it a

proper playthrough – you might be

surprised what you learn.

REGIONLOCKED

AllLegendsofRuneterra cards come

fromoneofsixdifferent regions:

Noxus,Freljord,Demacia, Piltover & Zaun,

theShadowIsles,andIonia. Each bestows

Your Champion cards are the most

effective units in the game and you

can have a maximum of six per deck. It helps

to ensure that they’re synergised with the

rest of your perks and that you can

construct your deck around them.

LEVEL,LEVEL

The Champions will be the some of the

most potent cards in your deck, but

even more so when you level them up. Read

each one carefully to make sure you

understand its upgrade requirements, and

plan your match strategy around them.

SPELLBINDING

4
Don’t waste your mana on a bad hand:
you get one at the start of each round
and any mana that you don’t use will be
converted to up to three points you can use
to cast spells in later rounds. Bide your time
and unleash magical hell.

Once you get
the thrill of
drawing a strong
card in your first
hand it’s tempting
to keep them, even
though you won’t
have the mana to
use them. If they’re
too expensive to
use, replace them.
