Ephemeral is a keyword in
Legends of Runeterra.
- When on the board,
units with Ephemeral will
die after they
strike or the round ends.
Self-killing of Ephemeral units is not counted as slain. Self-killing ofBarrier Ephemeral units is not counted as killed by
Fury.
Ephemeral does not expire on Round End.
Contents
Notes
- It is notable, but a normal interaction, that Ephemeral units with
Double Attack will not perform the second strike the keyword would usually allow for.
- This keyword is thematically associated with ghostly, fleeting beings - including the Wraiths of the
Isles' Black Mist, and the creations and beings of Shadow Magic, both from the
Shadow Order and from Nocturne.
"No longer bound by flesh, rider and beast became one, determined to race mindlessly into battles
2 they no longer understood."
