แม่แบบ:Portal/LOR

ไฟล์:Legends of Runeterra icon.png ***Legends of Runeterra*** (or ***LoR***) is a card game developed by Riot Games (development name was **Project B**). The game was first announced by Riot Games, and entered its first closed beta, on October 15th 2019, coinciding with the 10th Anniversary of  League of Legends, and then was released permanently but still in open beta after being announced during the lead up to Season Ten's start on 24th January 2020. It was released in full on April 30th 2020.

## Description

Set in the world of League of Legends, **Legends of Runeterra** is the strategy card game where skill, creativity, and cleverness determine success. Choose champions and combine cards from different regions, each with their own style and strategic advantage, then build the perfect deck to take down the rest. Classic champs from League of Legends and brand new characters from the world of  Runeterra come to life in vivid detail.

The game itself is all about the choices made and the risks taken. Every move matters and the outplays are all up to the players. Players can earn cards for free as they play or buy exactly what they want in the store, they're in control of their collection, and never pay for random packs of cards. Players combine, adapt, and experiment with frequent new releases in an always-evolving meta. Dynamic, alternating gameplay means players can always react and counter, but so can the opponent. Players can battle friends for bragging rights, challenge foes in Ranked play, or embark on an Expedition and draft a deck. Players can explore the epic regions of Runeterra to reveal hidden connections between the denizens, dangers, and creatures that live there. In Legends of Runeterra, players choose from dozens of champion cards to include in their deck, each with a unique mechanic inspired by their original League of Legends abilities.

Champions enter the battle as powerful cards, and if played in a smart way, they level up to become even more epic, by gaining new abilities to crush the opponent. They can turn the tide of battle with a swift combo, or even break the rules and claim a new way to win. Champions are key cards to build your deck around, but to take down the enemy Nexus, multiple unique units are required. Allies that support a champion's strategy to level up fast and take control of the board are wise picks. There are tons of supporting cards to choose, from some familiar faces or completely new ones.

Every character and card in the game comes from a region of  Runeterra. Players have access to cards from ten major regions: ไฟล์:Bandle City LoR Region.png Bandle City, ไฟล์:Bilgewater LoR Region.png Bilgewater, ไฟล์:Demacia LoR Region.png Demacia, ไฟล์:Freljord LoR Region.png Freljord, ไฟล์:Noxus LoR Region.png Noxus, ไฟล์:Piltover Zaun LoR Region.png Piltover & Zaun, ไฟล์:Ionia LoR Region.png Ionia, ไฟล์:Shadow Isles LoR Region.png Shadow Isles, ไฟล์:Shurima LoR Region.png Shurima and ไฟล์:Targon LoR Region.png Targon. Each region has a distinct playstyle and strategic advantage, but things get even more interesting when you combine cards from two different regions. There's a deck for every personality and playstyle, but it's up to the player to find the right cards for a winning strategy.

Legends of Runeterra is free to play. Victory or defeat, each battle brings experience and progress. Choose which region to explore first and unlock the interesting cards from that region, changing regions whenever. As players advance, they'll collect new allies, spells, and champions; more than enough for multiple decks.

 ไฟล์:LoR Level 13 Vault.png
Once a week, players will also unlock chests from the Vault. These chests level up with more play, up to a maximum of level 13, increasing the rarity of cards inside from common all the way up to champion. They can also contain wildcards, which can be turned into any card, no guessing required. Experiment with an abundance of new cards to discover unique playstyles and craft innovative strategy. As a collection grows, so does its possibilities.
