Keywords (Legends of Runeterra)/Block

Block is an unofficial keyword in Legends of Runeterra.

EditEffects that trigger when you Block, will happen immediately when a block is committed. Blocks are committed by pressing The Button.

After a player commits an attack, it becomes the other player's turn, and they can block. The blocking player can drag units to declare them blocking specific attacking units, 1 attacker to 1 blocker. Not all attackers have to be blocked. Spells can be played on the same turn a block is committed. If any blocking units are committed or any spells are played, the attacking player can respond with their own spells, with normal spell response rules following. After both players have passed, the striking starts.

Battling units strike each other, starting from the leftmost, progressing to the rightmost. If the attacking unit's committed blocker was removed from the battlefield/from blocking before they attack and the attacker doesn't have Overwhelm, they don't strike. If they weren't blocked, they'll strike the enemy Nexus.

After the striking is finished, it is the Blocking player's turn. There are various effects that can affect whether a unit can block or be blocked, for example Can't Block, Fearsome, Elusive, and units being challenged.

Effects that are said to trigger when a unit 'blocks' trigger when the Block is committed.
