Want an overview of the set? Check it out here!

**New Mechanics **
XP: You can gain and spend XP for interesting effects (As displayed with Voidreaver and Master Yi below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hunt: Hunt is a new mechanic that helps you build up the XP you’ll use to enhance your cards or spend for splashy effects. When a unit with Hunt conquers or holds a battlefield, you’ll gain the amount of XP on the card.

 

 

 

 

Ambush: In League of Legends, one of the core skills of a jungler is the ability to attack from concealment at just the right moment. In Riftbound, the new Ambush mechanic lets you do that too. Specifically, Ambush lets you play a unit as a Reaction to a battlefield where you have units. Like Inferna!

 

 

 

 

 

 

There’s this and so much more coming in the newest set, Riftbound: Unleashed! Make a trip to Gnome Games Green Bay West to see all these fun mechanics in action for our Pre-rift Event!
