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.

Invincible's Steven Yeun On Working With Robert Kirkman Again After The Walking Dead

Steven Yeun became a household name as Glenn on AMC’s The Walking Dead, which was based on a comic book by Robert Kirkman. Now, Yeun is starring as Mark Grayson in Amazon Prime’s Invincible, another series based on a comic by Kirkman.

During IGN Fan Fest, Yeun spoke about how he got the role on the upcoming animated show, which arrives on March 26. “Robert just hit me up kind of randomly and said, ‘I’m doing Invincible. Would you come in and kind of like help me realize part of this script?'” said Yeun. “He wanted me to come in and just play around in a booth, and we did this really cool scene that I really enjoyed about two security guards that—I think he’s going to be in it—but it’s a beautiful scene, and it really made me understand like what he was trying to make.

“Not too long after, he asked me if I would play Mark [Grayson] and for me, you know, I love Robert and also like having had that experience reading the some of the script that he wrote, and where the s…

Knockout City Review – Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, And Dodge

Knockout City’s colorful, cartoonish aesthetic plays host to a relatively straightforward game of dodgeball, putting two teams against each other in a war waged with red rubber balls. But once you start factoring in deployable gliders, balls that can trap opponents in cages, and throwing techniques that can bend your shots around corners, Knockout City’s identity starts to bubble to the surface. In between the satisfying thunks of direct hits and the grace of each character’s movements, Knockout City features a satisfying level of depth that balances its pickup-and-play nature with a compelling competitive element that’s difficult to walk away from.

Each of Knockout City’s rotating modes rests on the fundamentals of finding a ball and trying to hit opposing players twice with it for a knockout, racking up your team’s score in the process. Knockout City makes this both simple and satisfying by automatically targeting enemies for you, but giving you control o…

Keep Your Xbox Controller Charged With This Fancy Otterbox Hot Swap Battery Solution

Xbox has required AA batteries for its controllers for a long time now, which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on who you ask. What isn’t debatable is the annoyance of having to change a set mid-game, which forces you to turn off the controller and resync it. That might be an issue if you’re involved in an intense online session that you can’t pause, which is the exact market Otterbox is aiming for with its Power Swap Controller Battery for Xbox.

Lord Of The Rings Star Dominic Monaghan Discusses Most Difficult Scene To Film

Actor Dominic Monaghan, who played Merry in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film series, has spoken about the most difficult scene in the entire series for him to film. Speaking to IGN, Monaghan said it was the Gray Havens scene at the end of The Return of the King, and what made it so difficult was the emotional weight of it and the fact that they had to film it three times.

“If you were to ask all four of us, ‘Pick a scene you can guarantee you only have to do once and not go back to,’ we probably would have said Grey Havens, just cause we were all there weeping like children,” he said. “So, doing it three times, I definitely think that the third version that I did, the one that’s in the film, is probably not quite as hysterical in terms of the state that I’m in as the first one, or possibly even the second one. So, that was tough.”

Monaghan said Jackson wanted the four main Hobbits to be “a mess” when it came to their vulnerability and sadness over saying go…
