Description

Official Description

Across the Guardian's Sea, nestled amongst the Blue Flame Isles, Bilgewater Bay is as lawless as the denizens that call it home. Smugglers and cutthroats lay claim to these shores, making a name for themselves with sharp minds and sharper blades. The land is not the only perilous place, for danger lurks beneath the waves. Are you prepared to risk it all for the ultimate prize?

Gameplay

• Some of Bilgewater's gameplay focuses largely on risk-reward, and has more effectively random effects than any other regions, while still keeping to Legends of Runeterra's focus on reducing randomness compared to other card games.
  • This is achieved through the use of Draw, Fleeting, and Random effects with less uncertain outcomes. Generally, this is thematically associated with gambling,  in-universe card games and tricks, and magic. See the respective pages for more on the themes associated.
• Another aspect of the region's gameplay is Nexus damage.
  • This is achieved through the use of Plunder, which itself also plays into risk-reward, and strategic play. (See Plunder for themes associated.)
    • These effects are generally facilitated within the region with spells that deal damage directly to the enemy Nexus. These are thematically associated with Black Powder weapons, such as cannons and firearms.
• There is also a minor focus on Spell-casting in this region, with Attune cards, and Mind Meld.
  • This is thematically associated with the magic power hidden in the sea, either in the deep, or in the Guardian's Sea's Azure Way. See Attune for more on the themes associated.
• Yet another aspect of the region's gameplay is Mill, going deeper and deeper in your deck and benefiting from it, filling your board with large units later in the game.
  • This is achieved through the use of Toss, the Deep keyword, and . See Toss and Deep for more on the themes associated.

Trivia

Bilgewater in-game icon

Bilgewater alpha icon

Bilgewater Crest 1

Bilgewater Crest 2

• Bilgewater region was the first region released with the global launch of Legends of Runeterra.
• The icon used in-game is a simplified version of the Bilgewater crest, but much less simplified than many of the other regions, especially Piltover & Zaun and The Shadow Isles.
  • Before the release of Bilgewater, some voicelines from Set 2, its release set, and some from Set 3 were found in the files of the game.
  • Since the game's release, an icon for Bilgewater was found in the files of the game. It had a different gradient to the final one used, has no black outline, as well as some more subtle differences.
