Keywords (Legends of Runeterra)/Daybreak

A unit card with keyword Daybreak.

Daybreak is a keyword in Legends of Runeterra.

EditWhen you have not played any cards in a round, it is day.

Unit: Daybreak effects happen when the unit with it is played, if it is day.

Spell: Daybreak effects happen when the spell casts, if it was day when they were played.

Spells that only have a Daybreak effect can only be played and cast if Daybreak would trigger.

Notes

• Daybreak is thematically associated with the divine power of the Solari and the sun, and large bursts of power.

Development

“	"When we first tested, I had people come up to me afterwards to say how awesome/flashy day was, but they were nervous about the difficulty of using night, while a second group approached me to say how clever night felt, but day was too obvious. This convinced me of both mechanics."
	— Shawn 'Eyebrow Poro' Main

• Riot Eyebrow Poro spoke about how Daybreak cards' design was intentionally "awesome/flashy" and "obvious", in direct thematic contrast to Nightfall.

Trivia

• Daybreak only exists on Slow spells and units.
• Among Targon Daybreak cards, there is a large number of temporary, powerful effects, when Targon as a whole tends to have a focus on permanent effects.
