Legends of Runeterra Monuments of Power launches later today and we've put together all the information you're going to need to know for the release.
Monuments of Power Fast Facts
- This is the second expansion of cards in the Call of the Mountain set. (Third expansion is in December)
- 40 new cards have been added to the game with a large focus on Bilgewater, Demacia, and Targon.
- A new type of card has been added to the game - Landmarks.
- Landmarks are cards that stay on your board, using an available slot, but cannot attack or defend.
- Landmarks provide you with a passive bonus as long as they remain in play.
- A new ranked season has started with the set's launch.
Monuments of Power Freebies
Everyone loves free stuff!
- Targon's Region Road now goes to 25. A free Champion is available at 23.
- Bilgewater's Region Road now goes to 29. A free Champion is available at 28.
- Demacia's Region Road now goes to 29. A free Champion is available at 28.
With these region road updates, if you have unlocked all the previous champions for these regions, you will be getting a guaranteed Soraka, Tahm Kench, or Shyvana from their respective region's road. Neat!
- A Targon card back has been added to its region road for hitting level 25.
New Champions
Here are the three new Champions added in Monuments of Power.

Expedition Changes
There are four new expeditions archetypes added to the game. They will initially be three times as likely to be drafted than other archetypes. The bonus will be reduced in future patches.
- Dragon’s Descent: Dragon-based archetype led by Shyvana and Aurelion Sol.
- Mending Touch: Healing-focused archetype with Soraka and Tahm Kench.
- Fists of the Dragon: Lee Sin + Shyvana bonus archetype with a Dragon thematic.
- Blood on the Ice: Darius + Ashe bonus archetype featuring Noxkraya Arena.
New Deck Bundle - Draconic Fury
If you want to take Shyvana (and Aurelion Sol) for a spin, you can do so in the new deck bundle available in the shop, Draconic Fury.
- The deck is 10% discounted from the total cost of the wildcards it would take to craft the deck.
- Champions: Shyvana, Aurelion Sol
- Theme: Dragons, Fury
- Playstyle: Midrange beatdown
Monuments of Power Theorycraft Decks
Our own OldManSanns put together four great spotlight articles leading up to the expansion's launch with theorycraft decks for the new champions and landmarks. You'll want to head on over to those articles to learn more about each of the decks.
Comments
PSA: If you want all the cosmetic goodies in the Shyvana bundle but hate the idea of paying for cards, consider crafting all or most of the cards in the deck using wildcards and shards before you buy it for an even deeper discount. You can find the deck list on the bundle page in the shop.
Wait, it's launching tomorrow?
Today!
I guess I'm so out of touch. No wonder why I started to think of going back a bit to Runeterra due to boredom, especially after seeing these cards. But I did hear that Bilgewater is oppressive and got slacked.
