Below you will find a few general tips that can be useful during the gameplay of Legends

of Runeterra. These tips are especially addressed to casual or new players who are just
beginning their adventure in playing card games.

1. First of all, it is worth taking some time to complete all available tutorials. In
Legends of Runeterra there are 13 introductory quests that will teach you the
basics of gameplay and some more advanced mechanics. For completing the
introductory missions you can receive additional rewards that may enrich your card
collection.
2. Learn when to block, and when to launch an attack. For example, if your opponent
attacks with 1/1 unit and you only have 6/1 unit, then it is much better to get 1 point
of damage than to block the attack by sacrificing a strong unit that can be cured in
the next turn (if your Nexus has only 1 point of health then you have to block the
attack).
3. Try to play different card combinations, because card decks in Legends of
Runeterra can be created by combining cards from two different Regions. This will
give you the knowledge you need, that may come in handy during the game. By
discovering more about each of the Regions available in the game you will know
what to expect from your opponent.
4. Remember that all spells are divided into quick and slow. Some can be played
instantly, while others require more time to activate. The enemy is unable to react to
fast attacks, but keep in mind that your opponent may respond to slower strikes.
5. Embark on your first Expedition. Even if you don't manage to win any match,
you'll get a free Champion to strengthen your deck! More information about the
Expedition is available in other section of this guide.
6. Remember that in Legends of Runeterra unit attacks and spell activation count
from left to right. This means that the units on the left side of the board attack first
and those on the right side will be used at the end of turn. The same rule applies to
spells - if an opponent casts a quick spell and you can manage to cast your own
spell on the left, then your action will activate first and may neutralize the effect of
the enemy spell.
7. Pay attention to the number of Mana crystals and remember that unused Mana is
transferred to spell points (maximum of 3) that can be used in the next round. By
saving Mana in one round you can use it in the next round and cast an additional
spell. You can read more about the in-game Mana system in the following sections
of our guide.
8. Keep an eye on the limits and constraints used in Legends of Runeterra. You can
have a maximum of 6 units on the board and 10 cards in your hand. Plan your
actions in such a way that you have enough space on the board and in your hand.
Remember that every extra card (which doesn't have any slot available) will be
burned and this applies to summoned units, picked cards and units that may return
to your hand.
9. When building a deck, make sure to include units with different mana costs. You
can't just rely on strong units with a high Mana cost because you won't be able to
 play your cards from the very beginning of the duel, which can have tragic
consequences.
10. Try to complete all daily tasks to gain a lot of experience points. This will
significantly affect the speed of account development and also increase the level of
the Weekly Vault.
