Vendetta puts clash and conflict at the center of card design. Beyond enemy domain combinations, the set features 22 Champion Overnumber cards designed as connecting diptych art allowing collectors to display iconic pairings like Shen vs. Zed, Nasus vs. Renekton, or Mel vs. Ambessa side by side.
New Mechanics & Card Types
Flow: Inspired by energy-based abilities, Flow allows players to cast specific cards directly from their trash instead of their hand, enabling quick combo recovery.
Burn: Burn sends cards from a Main Deck to the Trash. Some cards burn your own deck to fuel synergies, while others attack your opponent’s deck directly.
Empower: Units with Empower can be upgraded directly on the board, unlocking enhanced stats or new abilities after paying an activation cost.
Unit-Gear & Decrees: Vendetta introduces dual-typed Unit-Gear cards that function as both units and equipment, alongside a cycle of Decree spell cards designed specifically to punish opposing domain colors.
Showcase & Collectibility
Crystal Rose Alt Arts: Celebrating fan-favorite skinlines from Wild Rift, these Special Alt Art cards appear in booster packs at standard Alt Art rates.
Rivalry Overnumbers: Features artist-signed variants for all 9 set Legends, plus 22 connecting diptych Overnumbers depicting iconic rivalries.
