Legends of Runeterra patch v1.16: New expansion Cosmic Creation, Prismatic Card styles, and more

Legends of Runeterra fans have a lot to be excited about during the end of the year, as the last expansion of the Call of the Mountain set is now available, as well as news regarding card customization, new labs, and more.

The Cosmic Creation expansion, on top of Champions, Spells, and Followers, a new Keyword arrives into Runeterra -- Augment. Followers with Augment get a permanent +1|+0 bonus any time a ‘created’ card is played after they’ve been summoned. Created cards are any cards created by another card - whether it’s invoked, created in your deck and then drawn, or directly created in-hand.

Furthermore, the latest patch brings us Prismatic Card Styles, a perfect way to make your favorite cards even more precious. 

There are three ways to upgrade the card you wish

There are three ways to upgrade the card you wish

  • Prismatic Chests: There are various qualities of Prismatic Chests; opening one allows you to choose one of three cards to upgrade to Prismatic, along with some Essence (explained below). Prismatic Chests can be earned through new Card Styles Quests (separate from current Daily Quests), and they’ll be included as Ranked Rewards at the end of a Season. The higher your rank, the more / better Prismatic Chests you’ll receive - these rewards will be first implemented for the end of Cosmic Creation’s Ranked Season.
  • Essence: A new resource, earnable from Prismatic Chests, Essence Pouches, and Quests. Shown in the example above, Essence can be used in your collection to upgrade your card of choice to a Prismatic. Essence prices vary based on card type, from Common to Champion.
  • Coins: Like Essence, Coins can be used to directly upgrade a card of your choice to a Prismatic.

Prismatic Ranked Rewards

This also means that end of Season rewards will bring materials like Essence and Prismatic Cards for you to collect.

Moving unto more general rewards, Riot has upgraded the Region Roads for all regions, with the maximum cap now being of level 30. 

When you reach level 30, you'll recieve an icon of the region you've completed.

There's also a ton of boards, card backs, and bundles for you to buy, so head to Riot's official page and give them all a look.
