Targon is about to change the entire Legends of Runeterra meta
Will you answer the Call of the Mountain?
With the Bilgewater set blowing the best card-dealers out of the water, Legends of Runeterra continues to expand its card pool with the brand new region of Targon.
Officially titled “Call of the Mountain”, this will be LoR’s third expansion set and will bring a more organized release schedule for the region compared to previous card releases.
The region of Targon enters the game as an exciting change to the game’s current meta. The card set will bring a new wave of cards that will primarily focus on buffing and healing your followers and champions.
Your Targon residents will have an exclusive burst card called Gems. As of now, Riot has showcased eight cards in the current teasers. Here’s what they bring to the table:
Targon will also introduce Taric as its first regional hero. From the looks of it, The Shield of Valoran will be a perfect support card to complement either Freljord’s healing spells like Take Heart or Demacia’s support cards like War Chefs.
Just from the first expansion, you can see that Targon brings a defining status on support cards in all regions. With Taric and Majestic Sojourners’ ability to stack support skills, the meta will drastically change to favor card-tanking compositions and slowing down the pace of the game.
Riot has already mapped out the rest of the game’s Call of the Mountain expansions for the year while also aiming for a future release date of February 2021 for the next set.
Though the Targon region is looking to change how players approach the game, we can expect more buffs and additions to other regions for more extravagant deck compositions.
The first expansion of Call of the Mountain will be out on August 26.
