This Week in Runeterra...

A quick overview of what has been going on this week in Legends of Runeterra.

Weekend Warrior Weapons

Looking for something to climb the Ranked Ladder with? We’ve just published the latest Weekend Warrior Weapons article, with 20+ high-performance decks (from very common to really, really rare) to help you find your ladder weapon of choice.

By the way, if you like Constructed data & reports, and haven’t checked Legna’s site & Meta Report yet… do so! =)

That’s where a good chunk of the decks you’ll find in the Weekend Warrior and Tuesday Tussles posts come from.

Seasonals

If you’re prepping for Seasonals (and, above all, if this is this the first time you jump into that deep end of the pool!), you may want to check Wamuu’s articles on how to craft your own Tournament Lineup, and his take on the four best Lineups to bring.

And CastMin pooled the wisdom of more than a dozen top-ranked players for his Open Rounds Essentials (now also a guide in the Competitive Subreddit!)

Path of Champions

Conansson posted a (massive!) GoogleDoc with decklists for pretty much every opponent you’ll face in PoC — find out what they’re up to, so you know what to expect.

By the way: Conan got the lists by milling nearly every foe (with a TF deck). Talk about dedication to thorough research! =)

Expeditions

FTPBUST returns to LoR! The most prolific Expeditions content creator is back on YouTube, after few months focusing on Magic Arena. If you’re looking for lots of 7-win runs, he is probably one of the best sources.

ShadesRealm would be another source of 7-win runs videos — here’s a Trial featuring University of Piltover, a Draft Club favorite.

On top of milling PvE foes to zero, Conansson made time to release his (also massive!) YT vid about Random Effects (which should be useful for Constructed players too, with so many Conchologists running around the ladder… =). He also teamed up with Myzrael for a Cooperative Draft run, on YT.

News & Threads

Riot Dev Dovagedys left LoR, but not Riot — and he did an extensive AMA on his Riot journey.

Riot Dev Aleco Pors shared quite a few insights on Twitter about how they tackled the change to Dragon’s Clutch, and shares some numbers about how Dragons are doing right now.

Legna got fist-bumped by Riot. Now I know how sport fans feel when their idol gets some MPV award!! :D

MajiinBae stirred up quite the storm with his reddit discussion about Minimorph.

Arcane

If you haven’t watch Arcane yet, here are the (almost) spoiler-free reviews we did for Mastering Runeterra:

• Act I, by MonteXristo,

• Act II, by yours truly,

• Act III, by CastMin.

Conan, Myzrael & arthurmauk did an Arcane-related Expeditions podcast, focused on the cards & buckets from Arcane characters.

And if you’ve been left thirsting for more, Riot has confirmed that Season 2 of Arcane is now in production! =)

Evershade Stalker, by Soltaire

Little monster comes a-creeping,    
finds you when you should be sleeping.  
Hear its chitter like a dream-      
"Tear them apart, let them scream!"   
   
First one, then two, now three and four-    
"More, more, more, more"                     

Everyone has heard the stories-
"Nightfall stalkers". Now you worry.
What is it they do to victims?
"Hurt them, hurt them, cut them, kill them!"

Soon ten, soon twelve, and then a score-
"More, more, more, more"

Eyes are watching from the shadow-
you could run but they will have you.
Do you hear their voices rise?
"Crack their bones, see what's inside!"

Too many now to count, you're sure-
"More, more, more, more"

Now the trees are full of smiles
And the woods goes on for miles
Will you make it? They think no:
Louder now, "We go, we go!"

How many else could be in store?
"More, more, more, more"

Evershade is where you're going-
Even as you run, you know it.
Stalkers only have one goal-
"Break their minds, flay their souls!"

Red eyes, black claws, and teeth galore-
"More, more, more, more"

Nothing you can do will save you-
shouldn't have gone to loot the Whale's Tooth.
Gnashing teeth drown out your cries
"Split their skin, watch them die!"
