Hey there! So you're diving into Legends of Runeterra and want to get a handle on how everything works, right? Let's break down the controls and UI so you can focus on the fun stuff – the game! This guide covers the V2.3 update, so it's pretty current. ## Personalization First off, you can really make the game your own. It's all about making your experience feel unique. ### Boards Your game board is your battlefield, and you can customize it! For example, there's the 'Ascended Oasis' board. Pretty cool, huh? ### Guardians These little buddies hang out with you during games. You've got a few options like 'Ascended Cosmo', 'Fen', 'Royal Powder Monkey', and 'Sunbeam Baley'. Pick the one that vibes with you! ### Emotes Sometimes you just gotta express yourself! You can use emotes like 'Deflated', 'Jackal Cackle', 'Just a Dash', and 'Pure Magic' to communicate with your opponent (or just for fun). ### Card Backs Your deck has a style, and so does your card back! Check out options like 'Shurima', 'The Butcher of the Sands', 'The Curator of the Sands', 'The Emperor of the Sands', and 'The Stoneweaver'. ## Expansions Legends of Runeterra is always growing. The V2.3 update includes content from the 'Empires of the Ascended' expansion, which also introduced the Shurima region. Keep an eye out for new cards and mechanics as expansions drop! ### Empires of the Ascended This was a big one, bringing in the Shurima region and a whole host of new cards. It's worth exploring what this expansion added to the game's meta. ## Card Updates Like any evolving game, cards get tweaked. The V2.3 update brought changes to Champions, Followers, Landmarks, and Spells. It's always a good idea to check the patch notes to see how these updates might affect your favorite decks or strategies. ## Region Road Updates Your journey through the regions gets updates too. Make sure to check these out to see what rewards and progress you can unlock. ## Champion Mastery As you play with specific champions, you'll level them up. This system lets you show off your dedication and unlock cool stuff related to that champion. ## Labs These are special game modes that offer unique twists on the usual gameplay. They're a great way to experiment and have some fun with different rulesets. ## Expeditions Expeditions are a popular game mode where you build a deck as you go. You'll draft cards and face off against opponents. There are general tips and specific archetypes to consider when planning your Expedition runs. ## Miscellaneous This section usually covers any other odds and ends that don't fit neatly into the other categories. ## Bugfixes No game is perfect!
