Notes

• The Leviathan with Lifesteal benefits from its damaging effect.

Trivia

• This, along with 8 The Dreadway, 7 The Syren and 8 The Tuskraider are first cards to draw a specific Champion from the Deck.
• It also appeared in the artwork of:
  • 4 Capside
  • 4 Coastal Defender
• It is said in-lore that 5Gangplank stole The Leviathan from 5Swain, as it was the general's personal warship and pride of the Noxian navy. This is referenced in several quotes Gangplank has towards an allied Leviathan, but whether or not this event has happened yet canonically remains to be seen.
