League of Legends’ wildly popular trading card game, Riftbound, is about to kick off its fourth set in the way of Vendetta – where clashes between former friends, immortal enemies and members of the same family will make their marks on the battlefields and where rivalries will persist long after the games have ended.
Like all new sets, Vendetta is bringing with it a whole slew of new mechanics and ways to play, like enemy-colour-pair Legends and New Abilities, and even a simultaneous Region release. We’ll dive into all that at a later date – because what we really want to focus in on right now is the exclusive card reveal we have the privilege of doing thanks to the team at Riftbound and Riot Games.
Introducing to Riftbound: Vendetta…Shady Spectacles!
Shady Spectacles is 4 cost Epic card found within the Order domain. It’s a Gear/Equipment card with the Equip ability that stats: ‘Recycle 1 Order rune to attach this to a unit you control. As this is attached to a unit, choose another friendly unit. The equipped unit becomes a copy of that unit for as long as this is attached to it.’
For players this may just be a card worth grabbing a playset of come release time – especially those who love to play Order’s very unit heavy, go wide archetype. Having the ability to “clone a unit and its stats” to one with Shady Spectacles attached might just be the surprising and devastating blow to an opponent needed to see victory on the battlefield. Now all we just need to do is find where we can grab an actual pair of these specs to wear whilst pulling off that exact play!
We excitedly await the release of Riftbound: Vendetta launching on July 31, with Pre-Rift events happening on July 24. Be sure to visit your local game store for all information on Learn To Plays and when their Nexus Nights are held to join in the fun of the Riftbound TCG every single week.
