Legends Of Runeterra Patch 3.21 - General Updates

Several general updates were introduced to Legends of Runeterra in patch 3.21.

These are:

  • When Kayn is leveled-up via Aatrox’s ‘World Ender’ spell, he will automatically become Rhaast, since his Shadow Assassin (Blue Kayn) form is technically not a Darkin.
  • If Anaakca summons another Anaakca, the summoned Anaakca’s Attack effect will trigger again and summon another follower.
  • When an Empowered unit falls below the necessary empowered value via other effects (such as frostbite) it will lose its Empowered effect.
  • Cards like Rummage which have you target cards to Discard can’t be included in decks via Ryze’s Origin.
  • Non-Darkin champions are not transformed into their equipped Darkin Weapon when assimilated.
