Legends of Runeterra Patch 3.2.0 Notes- Embark On A Curious Journey

Riot Games has released the patch notes for Legends of Runeterra Patch 3.2.0, and players have a brand-new expansion–along with four new heroes–coming their way.

A Curious Journey is the name of the new expansion, which will include 48 new cards and conclude the Beyond the Bandlewood set. Among those new cards are four new Champions making their Legends of Runeterra debut: Galio, Gnar, Udyr, and Yuumi.

The other notable addition in patch 3.2.0 is two new keyword mechanics: Attach and Formidable. Units with Attach can “attach” themselves to other units, which will provide that unit with the attached card’s stats and abilities. Formidable, meanwhile, can attack using their current Health as their power instead of the Power level listed on the card.

The Legends of Runeterra 3.2.0 patch–including the A Curious Journey expansion–will go live February 16 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. The full list of patch notes is below.

Legends of Runeterra Patch 3.2.0 Notes

New Expansion – A Curious Journey

  • Ava’s journey has reached its thrilling conclusion, and she’s brought with her a few mementos from her adventure, including the final expansion of the Beyond the Bandlewood set
  • A Curious Journey!
    • A Curious Journey contains 48 collectible cards, including four new champions – Gnar, Yuumi, Galio, and Udyr, and two new keywords – Attach & Formidable.
    • Learn more about everything coming in the expansion in the details below, and get ready to complete your adventure in A Curious Journey, playable at approximately 11AM PT on February 16!

New Cards

  • Over the past week, we’ve been revealing all of the cards being added in A Curious Journey. Head to one of the galleries below to get the full list of new cards and start building your day 1 decks!
    • Mobalytics
    • DAK.GG

New Keywords: Attach & Formidable

  • Support your units in an entirely new way with Attach! Units with Attach can be played on the board as a normal unit, or can Attach to an allied unit, providing that unit with the attached unit’s stats and keywords, amongst other bonuses depending on the card. Using Attach counts as targeting an allied unit and triggers effects like Fated, providing even more power!
  • Formidable units turn bulk into brawn, and Strike using their current Health instead of their Power. Because they’ll get worn down through clashing with enemy units, be sure to keep Formidable units healthy to make the most out of them!

Sunsetting Expeditions

  • Starting in patch 3.2.0, we’re beginning to sunset Expeditions by removing the weekly cap on fully-rewarded runs, which also means Free Play is no longer available due to the lack of a weekly cap. Expedition Tokens are also being removed from the Weekly Vault and the new player 7-day login bonus. In May, with the release of patch 3.8.0, Expeditions will no longer be accessible, so be sure to spend your remaining Expedition Tokens before then. For more information, please refer to the original announcement article.

New Challenges, Quests, and AI Decks

  • New Challenges and Quests have been added to introduce the keywords, archetypes, and champions being added in Magic Misadventures. Additional AI decks featuring cards added in the expansion have also been added to the Vs. AI opponent pool.

The Path of Champions Updates

  • Gnar & Yuumi have been added as selectable champions in The Path of Champions.

Card Updates

  • Our next major set of card updates is scheduled for patch 3.4.0 on March 30, but before then, as part of the launch of A Curious Journey, we wanted to take this as an opportunity to release a small number of balance changes, along with some additional comments & context from designer Alexzandros Lee!
  • The start of a new set is an exciting and wild time. A full on fiesta of whatever craziness people want to jam into a deck and take into queue. Previous meta decks, however, tend to punish that. The goal of these changes is to help address those decks enough that players don’t feel punished for trying the new things, while also making sure that as the meta gets refined it doesn’t return to the old hotness.

Champions

  • Ahri (Level 1 & Level 2)
    • Base Stats (Level 1): 2|3 → 2|2
    • Base Stats (Level 2): 3|4 → 3|3
      • Ahri’s been an elusive target to pin down for most decks. This change makes her more susceptible to targeted removal, and makes it easier to set up blocks against her that can take her out. It also means that if the Ahri player wants to keep her alive they’ll need to invest more resources in protecting her, which should strain their mana and open up windows to disrupt the rest of their board.

Followers, Spells, and Landmarks

  • Iceborn Legacy
    • Change: 5 cost Burst Speed → 6 cost Focus Speed
      • We loved seeing the deck building that came about from this card but we want to make it a bit less abusable. The mana cost increase should push out how early it can be combo’d with other buffs, providing a bigger window for other decks to prepare for the onslaught of Poros / Spiders / Sand Soldiers, and of course Slotbots. We’re also moving the spell speed to Focus. While this won’t impact winrate /that/ much because it’s commonly used pre-combat to force lethal, this does help reduce some of the play against anxiety of potential “Surprise you’re dead” situations when they could use it as a combat trick.
  • Wounded Whiteflame
    • Base Stats: 2|4 → 2|3
      • Pantheon decks are already performing quite well, and with the release of A Curious Journey he is getting further support with Yuumi. This change is aimed at pulling out some power from the Fated package to give the deck room to flourish without becoming the de facto best deck by way of it’s natural predators getting weaker. The reason for this change over others is that Whiteflame tends to be a core part of the Fated deck and can easily take over games with how quickly it can grow out of range of most removal. Reducing its health should provide a bigger window where the opponent can deal with it.
  • Kinkou Wayfinder
    • Change: 4 cost 2|3 Allegiance: Summon 2 different
    • 1 cost allies from your deck. → 4-cost 3|3
    • Allegiance: Summon a 1 cost ally from your deck.
      • Kinkou has proven to be an absolute value engine monster when paired with repeat recall. While we don’t usually like hitting the same card multiple times if we can get away with it, it’s clear that Wayfinder is a key part of the more abusive plays we’ve seen from the Ahri/Kennen/Mono Ionia decks. This change should reduce how easily they can refill the board with value while also opening up the ability for players to consider other regions beyond splashing purely for combat tricks.

Region Road Updates

  • Region Roads for Bandle City, Freljord, and Demacia have been extended.

Call of Duty MW3's Poor Reception Did Not Affect Black Ops 6 Campaign, Developer Says

The MW3 campaign was the worst-received Call of Duty campaign in recent memory. In the GameSpot review, S.E. Doster gave the single player mode a 5/10. Other reviews were similarly mixed. However, the campaign’s reception allegedly did not affect Black Ops 6’s development. In conversation with IGN, associate creative director at Raven Software John Zuk said, “…we were already pretty locked in on the story we were telling and the missions we were creating.”

Reportedly, MW3 was originally envisioned as an expansion for Modern Warfare 2. When it was upgraded to a full release, developers reportedly crunched to develop a new campaign in just a year and half (Call of Duty usually has a three-year development cycle). In contrast, Black Ops 6 has been in development for four years. According to Zuk, “The extra development time certainly gives us time to do a little bit more prototyping and a little bit more trying something out, finding out if it’s fun and if it works and throwing …

Steam Introduces New Game Recording Feature, And It Works With Steam Deck

Steam has just introduced a new feature for players called Game Recording. Though still in the beta-testing phase, Game Recording is exactly what it sounds like: a built-in feature that allows users to record and share gameplay footage.

Players can use Game Recording to record a quick clip of a particularly impressive 360° no-scope kill in a live-service game, record an entire RPG campaign playthrough, and everything in between. Clips can then be edited as needed (for instance, cutting out all the shots you missed prior to an impressive headshot) and then uploaded for the world to see.

Game Recording has two modes: Background Recording and On Demand Recording. In Background Recording mode, gameplay is continuously saved to the player’s preferred drive (never exceeding the player’s specified recording duration or storage limits). On Demand Recording mode can be used at-will, stopping and starting via manual input from the player. Steam’s new…

Assassin's Creed Valhalla Final Update Fixes Inventory Issues And Eivor's Hair

Ubisoft has announced the final update for its open-world RPG Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The 1.7.0 update will go live on February 21 at 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET and is set to fix quality-of-life issues.

The patch size will vary based on the player’s platform of choice. For those playing on the Xbox Series X|S, the update will be 15.1GB and 9.9GB on the Xbox One. Meanwhile, for PlayStation 5 players, the update will be 0.5GB; for PlayStation 4 players, it’ll be 1.6GB. Lastly, for PC players, it’ll be 6.3GB.

Most instances where light-fingered skills that prevent key items from being picked up have been fixed, and the issue where Eivor’s hair clips through the hood after completing an Animus Anomaly has also been addressed.

Other issues, such as items that were previously missing from the player’s inventory and the total number of Opals i…

God Of War Ragnarok- Mystical Heirloom And Troll Locations

With so many relics to choose from in God of War Ragnarok, you may accidentally overlook one particularly unique one: the Mystical Heirloom. This strange heirloom merely states that it “awakens something dormant, deep down inside of the bearer.” If you’re confused, don’t worry–we’ll tell you where to find the Mystical Heirloom, where and how to use it, and why you should.

Consider this guide to contain spoilers for late- and post-game content.

Where to find the Mystical Heirloom and what it’s used for

The Mystical Heirloom can be found just southwest of Tyr’s temple in Midgard. You’ll need to use your Draupnir Spear on a wall of ice here to open up an area containing the relic.

The Mystical Heirloom is used to wake up stone creatures, four of which are trolls located throughout the nine realms who will drop the necessary materials to craft the Steinbjorn armor set, an exceptionally powerful set for those who prioritize def…

Halo- MCC's New In-Game Store Doesn't Have Any Microtransactions

343 Industries has shed some new light on one of the features coming to Halo: The Master Chief Collection in a future update. The “Exchange,” as it’s called, is an in-game store of sorts where players can spend their season points–but not real money–to acquire certain items.

Technical designer Dana Jerpbak said in a blog post the Exchange was designed with two primary goals, the first of which was to create a system where players could have more freedom and choice for content to unlock. The second was to create a place where players could spend season points to pick up items from a previous season that had ended already.

“As an additional goal, we also wanted to minimize the fear of missing out, or ‘FOMO’ associated with this experience,” Jerpbak said. “The Exchange will offer customization items from two overarching categories: previous limited-time season content and new themed content.”

With each new season, like the upcoming Season 6, these categories will gr…
