Leona hits the Riftbound TCG preview lineup like a solar flare—bright, dangerous, and absolutely impossible to ignore.
At 6 mana, she anchors the Mount Targon archetype with one of the most aggressive comeback mechanics we’ve seen so far. If you’re trailing, she doesn’t just catch you up—she swings the whole tempo in your favor.
Leona isn’t just another midrange body; she’s a pressure lever that punishes opponents for being close to winning.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Leona from Riftbound TCG comes with two very real threats packed into her Champion body:
-
Ready on Entry – If your opponent is within 3 points of the Victory Score, Leona enters ready. That’s instant value in the late game. No need to wait a turn to act. No setup. Just heat.
-
Stun Debuff Zone – Every stunned enemy unit at her location loses 8 power. That’s not a typo—minus eight. You don’t wipe them off the board, but you erase their impact. And with a floor of 1, she still lets stunned units linger as liabilities.
This makes Leona shine in any Targon deck with stun synergy. Pair her with early or midgame stun effects and watch her set the board ablaze while you tighten the gap on the scoreboard.
She doesn’t just reward clever sequencing—she demands it.
Leona Visuals
Leona’s artwork is blazing. You’re looking up at her from below, as if she’s eclipsing the battlefield itself. Armor gleaming, hair trailing like flame, and a smirk that screams “You’re too late.”
The lighting is dialed all the way up, golds bleeding into reds. It’s oppressive, warm, and authoritative.
There’s no movement in the image—but somehow, you still feel the heat.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Card number 079/298, Leona is very likely a rare or mythic-tier Champion. It’s unclear if this version has an alternate art, but the framing, palette, and emotional weight suggest it’s destined for foils.
If overnumbered or signature variants exist, this one will be a chase card for both Targon mains and collectors who love iconic League Champions.
As one of the few cards that directly interacts with the Victory Score, Leona also hints at deeper design layers in Riftbound. She’s not just a beater—she’s a game state manipulator.
