Riftbound Popular Legends

Having launched in October 2025, the League of Legends Trading Card Game, Riftbound, has captured the attention of fans the world over. Riftbound is the latest game (following Star Wars Unlimited and Disney Lorcana) to successfully challenge the dominance of the “big three” TCGs: Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!. In Riftbound, you base your deck around a Champion Legend card, with each one being a recognizable Legend from the hugely popular League of Legends online game. Let’s take a look at which Champion Legends in Riftbound are getting the most attention!

5. Darius – Hand of Noxus

Riot Games themselves have confirmed which Legend cards garnered the most searches when Riftbound launched. It’s their data we’ve used to compile our list. In at number 5 is Darius, an aggressive Champion who can add resources to assist in getting units into play.

4. Teemo – Swift Scout

Hiding cards is Teemo’s specialty, and maximising this to surprise your opponent(s) in the latter stages of the game, when they may think they have the upper hand, is incredibly satisfying. To add to this, his ability of being able to shift his Champion unit around can be very effective too.

3. Sett – The Boss

Absorbing damage and keeping buffed units in play is the order of the day with Sett, who can also be readied when conquering. Sett’s abilities reward aggressive play, and being able to effectively resurrect buffed units takes some of the risk out of being overly combative too!

2. Ahri – Nine-Tailed Fox

Reducing the Might of enemy units is Ahri’s ability, and this can effectively counter an aggro deck’s strategy. Of course, you’ll need to make sure you are in control of battlefields to make use of this, so Ahri players still need to be pretty proactive.

1. Jinx – Loose Cannon

Finally, the most searched for Champion Legend is Jinx; this should be no surprise given the character’s crossover popularity, in part due to her main role in the hugely popular animated League of Legends show, Arcane. In Riftbound, Jinx is all about drawing and discarding cards; true to her nature, chaos is the name of the game!
