Legends of Runeterra Dev Tracker

You are the first player I’ve seen mention Susan as search text for Nasus! That was a silly Easter egg I put in the game years ago. Didn’t even know about #punchman— wonder who we have to thank for that one! 😅

Also your reverse engineering of the localized text and game data searching sounds fairly accurate from what I remember. Well done!

My pleasure. Welcome to the game. :)

We’re such scamps

Hi, I’m the lead designer for TPOC. Let’s do this.

First off, aim to complete your “chapter quests” for tpoc as they give a ton of rewards, espescially the higher chapters, aimed at new players.

Second, lux, yasuo, and jinx are all champions you can get fragments for from the chapter quests that are all extremely powerful at 3 stars. Many consider Jinx an auto win on any adventure that doesn’t directly counter her 3-star power. Yasuo and lux are both very good at 2 stars but absolutely insane at 3 stars and can beat nearly anything if played correctly - due to how yasuo can stun the enemy’s best units repeatedly and how lux can combo-kill her way to victory with literally more free attacks that you can hold in your hand once you get the chemtech duplicator relic.

You picked up Gwen who is a very good champion for new players too, as she can heal your nexus which can help you recover from mistakes. Great choice.

You will mostly want to focus on gettin...

Welcome!

The “challenges” are more like simple puzzles that teach a lot of the game’s mechanics so some like starting there.

Path of Champions still counts for completing quests that give you pvp card, so a lot of people like starting in path as well.

You can’t sneak a nerf into a patch because he just blocks it.

Yasuo stubs the enemies and can grow your units in strike or the fae bladetwirlers can grow on stun. Also has some barrier units for blocking. Tempest blade is still a monster play for yasuo himself. Will solve the problem no worries.

The 2-star adventures will be your first noticeable difficulty spike. The first adventures are training wheels for people new to cardgames or roguelikes or both. Once you’re playing 2-star+ adventures you’ll have a bigger challenge.

Also, jinx is basically an auto win against the low health opponents early in tpoc, intentionally so. Switch to one of the other champs if you want more nuance to your gameplay - jinx is Al about blowing them up fast.

Yeah, I rarely lose to asol. Few players draft with the final boss in mind.they often just try to run over him like the easier fights.

Good point.

Yep! That is exactly right. I'm trying to think of a scenario that would repro that... I think something like:

1. Your Nexus is 1 HP and you have a Braum.
2. Cast Poro Snax
3. Enemy casts Death's Hand on Braum, which will deal damage to Braum, triggering a Mighty Poro to summon, and also deal killing damage to the Nexus.

The Mighty Poro might not get the Poro Snax everywhere buff. It depends on if the everywhere buff on the Nexus sees the Mighty Poro summon event before the Nexus is marked for death. TBH it probably does, but I'd have to go look at the code to know for sure and it is Friday night so I'll probably pass on that :)

You're both bring up some good points!

The way everywhere buffs work is like this:

1. Give the buff to everything exists right now (what you called out)
2. Put a script on the nexus which handles any future things that should get the buff, that don't currently exist. A new poro is generated by a card, it'll get the buff from this nexus script.

So everywhere buffs are technically not aura effects, but they do have that additional listener on the Nexus for things that haven't come into existence yet.

There are other effects that are persistent auras (some Path of Champion powers, persistent auras like Deluge, Zoe's effect, etc...) and those are scripts on the Nexus, and just like any other aura, if the holder card dies... the aura drops off.

Male Vayne 😳

This is indeed one-time use and consumable!

Wow, well done LordRedStone_Nr1! I think you nailed it - silence champions don't "see", so that is difference OP's text (silence will affect it) and the current text (won't be affected).

Galeforce will be one of the relics that can appear in the recently announced Emporium.

Good question!

Wild Fragments are here to stay! There are no conversions. You'll still be able to use it to obtain new champions, and you'll get Wild Fragments from increasing Legend Level, Event passes, and Quests.

They just won't be the currency for duplicates anymore!
