The fourth expansion for the League of Legends trading card game, Riftbound, is nearly upon us. Titled Vendetta, this upcoming set shifts the focus toward rivalries, pitting diametrically opposed color identities against one another through characters bound by history and conflict.
We are thrilled to pull back the curtain on an exclusive reveal: the breathtaking “Overnumbered” variant for the Ambessa Legend, Matriarch of War. This is a must-see addition for any Arcane enthusiast looking to bolster their collection.
As a quick primer for those jumping into the fray: Legends define your deck’s color palette while offering persistent strategic presence throughout your matches. Ambessa, in particular, leverages the new “Empower” mechanic introduced in Vendetta.
An Empowered state is triggered when you commit to certain actions, often requiring the additional costs outlined on the card. By spending this state—and recycling a Rune while exhausting Ambessa—you can effectively “ready” a unit. This versatility opens up aggressive new playstyles, allowing you to manipulate board positioning, trigger multiple exhaust effects, and outmaneuver your opponent with tactical precision.
This stunning Overnumbered variant (collector number 196/166) features artwork by Aliya Chen, capturing Ambessa in her formidable battle regalia. It is an imposing piece that will make the perfect centerpiece for any aggressive deck.
Riftbound: Vendetta officially launches on July 31 with full support in both English and Chinese. To see more of the set as the preview window continues, be sure to visit the official Riftbound card gallery.
