01PZ036

A champion card known as "Ezreal".

EditChampions are a type of Unit.

A champion is able to Level Up to transform it and every other allied copy of it in the game that could ever exist into a new card instantly, keeping all effects applied to it and damage taken, which has its own interactions as well. While there is an allied champion alive, any copies of it in hand are instead a Champion Spell.

Champions represent significant characters from the  lore, usually, though not always ones that are playable in League of Legends.

Mechanics[]

While there is an allied champion alive, any copies of it in hand transform into a 'Champion Spell'. It changes back into the Champion when there is no longer one alive. See Champion Spell for more information.

However, this doesn't mean that duplicate champions can't be on the board, as there are various effects that can in some way allow you to have a duplicate, such as copy, exact copy, summon from deck, and revive effects.

Level up[]

01PZ036T1

A leveled up "Ezreal".

EditLevel Up is a keyword that causes a champion card to transform into an upgraded version of itself instantly, playing an animation, keeping all effects applied to it and damage taken and counting as the same unit. The vast majority of Champions gain improved stats (most often, an increase of 1 in both Power and Health) when they Level Up, in addition to new/improved effects and keywords.

Each Level Up has a requirement. As soon as the requirement is met while a copy of the champion is in play, it will level up instantly. Some Champions have additional effects that occur specifically when they level up.

For example, a Champion with Level Up: I have attacked twice. When I level up, create x card in hand. would Level Up after a copy of it commits a second attack, and it would create x card in hand instantly.
The transformation persists for the remainder of the game.

There are two exceptions to this rule: 4Gnar and 4Evelynn can level down.

Deck Limitations[]

The number of copies of a Champion that can be in a Constructed deck is dictated by the Deckbuilding Rules. In most rulesets, including notably Standard Rules, a player can have at most 6 total champion cards in their deck. All the normal restrictions on how many copies of any individual card can be in a deck also still apply.

Expeditions[]

In Expeditions, a player has 2 champions in their initial deck. As the player progress in a trial, they can earn more champions cards.

Development[]

There's kind of a priority system we use (when deciding on champions) - Riot loves frameworks. The thing that's most important to us is that the game is fun. And so, when we're trying out new champions, or trying to figure out potential champions to use in each release, we want to pick champions that will work together and make for the most compelling and fun gameplay. And we do also consider how popular the champion has been in League of Legends ... it's kind of a mix of how popular the champion is, and what players want to see ... but that again is secondary, as we have learned that just because a champion is not popular in League of Legends, does not mean it will not be popular in Legends of Runeterra.[1]
Travis 'Dovagedys' Boese, 22 December 2020
  • According to Riot Dovagedys, as of December 2020, the champions to be released into the game are planned up to the full first half of 2022, which helps with balancing earlier releases.[2]
