Legends of Runeterra Update 1.3 Patch Notes
Here are all the changes and additions coming in Legends of Runeterra’s update 1.3, as per its full patch notes:
Card Clarity
This patch, we’re updating various card text around random card generation. Since launch, we’re worked to improve a variety of clarity issues, though we definitely haven’t nailed them all yet. As we’ve said previously, we expect clarity and consistency improvements to be a never-ending task as we work to improve LoR, and we’ll continue to roll them out in upcoming patches. Thank you for your continued feedback on what we can improve!
- Wherever it appears, “random" now means “random and from any region” (rather than “random, but only from your deck’s regions”). This affects the card changes below—all functionality is unchanged.
- Rules text on the following cards (both collectible and non-collectible) updated for clarity:
| Petty Officer | Jailbreak | Double Trouble | Coral Creatures | Treasure Trove | Trail of Evidence | Mystifying Magician | Laurent Chevalier | Back Alley Barkeep | Eminent Benefactor | Karma | Insight of Ages | Karma’s Insight of Ages | Flash of Brilliance | Lonely Poro | Warden’s Prey | Ethereal Remitter |
Raiding Party has been a bit weak lately, so we’re giving it some new Plunder enablers and rewards.
Expeditions Archetypes
Fishbones is receiving a buff to its consistency, plus a number of 1-cost units from other regions to provide a more varied experience depending on which third region you’ve chosen.

- Removed: Golden Narwhal, Petty Officer, Sheriff Lariette Rose, Warning Shot

- Added: Jagged Butcher, Make it Rain, Playful Trickster

Scrapheap has ended up being pulled in a few too many directions, so we’re focusing it towards the strategies that are working out the most.
