Darkin Story so Far

• Xolaani was once a beloved and respected healer, but when the wars broke out long ago, she lost sight of her purpose and used her hemomancy to manipulate her allies.
  
  Now that she's awoken again, powerful forces are rallying against her. Aatrox, the World-Ender, was once her former general, and Varus, the Arrow of Retribution, was once her ally. Even Kayle has descended, the celestial arbiter of justice, cannot sit idly by as Xolaani tears across the land – and Ryze, the secretive rune mage, will stop at nothing to keep the world in balance.
  
  Combined, will they be enough to keep Xolaani's control at bay – or will the world end in apocalypse?

Three New Champions

• Aatrox

  • Aatrox builds an army of terrifying Darkin with his Origin “The World Ender” that allows any non-champion Darkin to be included in deck building. 

• Ryze

  • Ryze wields the power of the World Runes and brings the most expansive Origin yet, “The Rune Mage” allows Ryze to add any Burst spell during deck building. 

• Kayle

  • Kayle metes out divine justice and introduces the new mechanic “Empowered” into the game.

New Origins

• The World Ender

  • You may put any non-champion Darkin into your deck during deckbuilding. Once you’ve played or summoned 3+ different other Darkin, draw an Aatrox.

• The Rune Mage

  • You may put any non-targeted burst and focus spells into your deck during deckbuilding. At the start of the game, create 2 Delve Into The Past in your deck for each Ryze that started the game in your deck.

New Vocab

• Assimilate

  • Transform allies equipped with Darkin equipment into their Darkin unit forms. If they are champions, they level up.

• Empowered

Bloodwoven Event
