Riftbound: The League of Legends Trading Card Game’s upcoming Unleashed set has kicked off its preview season, and one of the initial cards unveiled, exclusively by Inven Global, showcases the mystical essence of Vex.
The newly revealed Gloomist card caters to players who prioritize maintaining command over the battlefield. Inven Global is offering a sneak peek at this card set before it joins the public card gallery, which will be updated daily at 5 p.m. PT during the preview period.
Gloomist is a Legend card tied to Vex and features a simple but flexible ability:
“When you or an ally hold, you may exhaust me to draw 1.”
In Riftbound, “holding” means maintaining control of a battlefield, allowing Gloomist to provide card advantage when defending or securing key areas. By exhausting the card—temporarily using it so it can’t act until refreshed—players can draw an extra card when meeting those criteria.
This design promotes consistent board control strategies, offering rewards to players who concentrate on defensive tactics or teamwork in multiplayer settings. Drawing additional cards over multiple turns can help sustain momentum, particularly in slower, tactical matchups.
Riftbound: Unleashed expands the League of Legends TCG with new mechanics and champions
Unleashed is the third set for Riftbound: The League of Legends Trading Card Game, Riot’s physical trading card game set in the world of League of Legends. The expansion features over 220 cards and 30+ alternate-art variants, introducing new champions, mechanics, and collectible rarities.
New Champion Legends like Kha’Zix, Lillia, Diana, and Ivern are part of the set, along with new gameplay systems like Ambush for reactive combat plays and XP, a resource that enhances effects as players accumulate it.
Another mechanic, Hunt, rewards players with XP when certain units conquer or hold battlefields. These additions aim to broaden strategic choices while reinforcing Riftbound’s battlefield control mechanics—similar to the gameplay style supported by Gloomist. Riot has also introduced Ultimate Rarity, an extremely rare card tier found in less than 1% of packs, with the first Ultimate Rare showcasing the iconic Runeterra monster Baron Nashor.
Unleashed launches in China on April 10, followed by an English release on May 8. Players will also get a chance to test the new cards early during Pre-Rift sealed events at local game stores starting April 3 in China and May 1 for English-language events.
