We’ve already covered the Equipment rules in Riftbound, so let’s check out another new element in the League of Legends card game. The Weaponmaster keyword debuts in Riftbound’s second set, Spiritforged. How does it work? Let’s find out!
What Does the Weaponmaster keyword do?
Simply put, the keyword allows you to immediately equip an Equipment card to the Weaponmaster card, when the Weaponmaster is played, for the cost of 1 less than the printed cost of the Equipment. You can see that the Ornn, Forge God card above reduces the cost of equipping an Equipment card to him by 1 Rune of any color, and this works the same way for all cards with the Weaponmaster keyword.
Cards such as the above Azir, Emperor of the Sands can give the Weaponmaster keyword to other cards you have in play. What makes this Azir Legend so interesting is that he can create Sand Soldier unit tokens, and they all have Weaponmaster while he remains in play!
How Does Equipment Work in Riftbound?
Though Weaponmaster’s main appeal is that it reduces the cost to use Equipment, it also allows the use of multiple Equipment cards, which is not normally permitted by the Equipment rules. You can find out more about how Equipment works in our guide to the Riftbound Equipment rules.
