Card Updates
Here’s a look at each of the card updates coming in this patch:
Gameplay System Updates:
- Scout has been removed as a generatable keyword (i.e. Hex Core Upgrade, Pantheon, The Arsenal, Acceleration Gate).
While it’s important to have a mix of keywords of varying strength, Scout often outperforms as a generatable keyword, so we’re removing it from the pool.
These outliers can be frustrating gameplay experiences, so we’d like to smooth the experience out while also having achievable highs and lows of using random keyword generation.
- Copied spells now count as being Played (i.e. Karma, Taric, Mirror Mage, Jayce).
Following up from our Play / Cast changes, we wanted to ensure that champions that copy spells are satisfying and exciting in the long term.
Spells that are copied will now activate targeting quests such as Ezreal & Taric, they’ll count towards making Lux Beams, and will now also activate Augment!

The Path of Champions Updates
We’re smoothing out Shard acquisition in The Path of Champions by introducing Wild Fragments:
- Wild Fragments can be used in place of Champion Fragments to unlock or Star Up any champion in The Path of Champions.
- When you earn Champion Fragments for a champion that exceeds the amount to get that champion to 3 Stars, you’ll instead earn an amount of Wild Fragments.
- Players who have already earned excess Champion Fragments will retroactively receive Wild Fragments.
- When you earn duplicate Relics that are clearly not useful (e.g. a fourth copy of any Relic, or a second copy of any keyword-granting Relic) you’ll get Wild Fragments instead. This also applies retroactively!
- Additionally, players can receive Wild Fragments from some Weekly and Daily Quests.
-
Finally, we’re opening the option to spend Coins to unlock champions instead of Champion Fragments or Wild Fragments.
