Riftbound Reveals New Overnumbered Variant for Ekko Ahead of Radiance Set

Riftbound, the trading card game based on League of Legends, is approaching its one-year anniversary in Western markets on October 31. As the game prepares for the release of its fifth set, Radiance, on October 23, developers have unveiled new card art. The latest reveal features an Overnumbered variant of Ekko, Boy Who Shattered Time. This new card allows players to grant a specific ability to other units in their deck, though those units are sent to the discard pile at the end of the turn. This mechanic encourages deck building around units with Accelerate, which enter the board ready to attack immediately. Since Accelerate typically requires one exhausted and one recycled rune, Ekko’s discount reduces the overall cost to summon these impactful units. The Radiance set is the final release before the game’s first anniversary. While the base form of Ekko was previously known, this new Overnumbered art provides a fresh visual and strategic option for players. The reveal highlights the continued expansion of the Riftbound universe, adding depth to time-traveling legends within the League of Legends franchise. Players can expect more card reveals as the October 23 launch date approaches, further detailing the mechanics and art of the Radiance set.
