Overview
Radiance is the fourth Riftbound set of 2026 and the fifth booster set overall, out October 23, 2026. Riot is still previewing it: on October 11, Riot's card gallery showed 144 of its 167 numbered cards and 192 cards in all, every one marked as a preview. This guide counts what has been revealed and will be updated once the full set is out.
All eight Legends revealed so far are new: Ekko, Ziggs, Mordekaiser, Orianna, K'Sante, Seraphine, Evelynn and Jarvan IV. None of those champions had a Legend before, and only Ekko and Evelynn had a champion unit. Riot's Radiance overview counts nine new Legends. The ninth is not in the gallery yet, but Riven's Signature card, Blade of the Exile, is (card 150), and card 149 before it is missing, which is where each set's Legends sit beside their Signature cards.
The set's mechanic is Deploy. A card with Deploy can only be played to a battlefield, and an opponent who holds that battlefield kills it. Ziggs makes Bomb gear tokens with Deploy, Jarvan IV moves units to wherever you deploy, and 16 main-set cards carry Device, a tag no card in an earlier set had. 13 of those 16 are gear.
Cards and rarities
Radiance has 167 cards in its main set. Each one prints its number over that total at the bottom left, after the set code, as in RAD · 001/167.
Above the main set
Riot's card gallery lists 192 Radiance cards in all. The other 48 are printings and extras outside the main set:
No signature printings (the asterisked cards) were in the gallery on October 11. Every earlier booster set had one per Legend, so expect them with the rest of the reveals. Riot's data calls every printing above the main set Showcase. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts a set against its printed total and keeps the extras apart, so finishing the main set and chasing the overnumbered and signature printings read as two separate goals.

The Legends
Radiance's eight revealed Legends are all first Legends for their champions. Every domain pair already had a Legend after Vendetta, so these add choices rather than fill gaps: Fury and Order gets Mordekaiser, Body and Order gets Jarvan IV, and so on.
Each Legend has one Signature card in the set, an Epic that only a deck led by that champion can play. A deck can hold at most 3 Signature cards in total. Riven's Signature card, Blade of the Exile, joins the table below once her Legend is revealed.
| Legend | Domains | Signature card |
|---|---|---|
| Ekko, Boy Who Shattered Time | Fury and Mind | Chronobreak |
| Ziggs, Hexplosives Expert | Fury and Chaos | Hexplosive Minefield |
| Mordekaiser, Iron Revenant | Fury and Order | Realm of Death |
| Orianna, Lady of Clockwork | Calm and Mind | The Ball |
| K'Sante, Pride of Nazumah | Calm and Body | Ntofo Strikes |
| Seraphine, Starry-Eyed Songstress | Mind and Order | Encore |
| Evelynn, Agony's Embrace | Body and Chaos | Last Caress |
| Jarvan IV, Exemplar of Demacia | Body and Order | Demacian Standard |

New keywords
Three keywords appear for the first time in the revealed Radiance cards. Deploy is on far more of them than the other two, counting the Ziggs cards whose Bomb tokens carry it.
Icons are written in brackets, as on each card's page: [1] is 1 Energy, [Any Power] is 1 Power of any domain, and [Might] is the Might icon. Reminder text is a summary; Riot's Core Rules are final.
Battlefields
Radiance has 10 battlefields, all revealed. Cosmic Vista scores a point for a player whose Rune Deck is empty, Black Market lets both players draw from it whoever controls it, and Packed Amphitheater, the only battlefield with an overnumbered printing, gives champion units +1 Might.
| Battlefield | What it does |
|---|---|
| Bandle Scouts' Academy | When you hide a card here, play a Gold gear token exhausted. (It has "[Reaction][>] Kill this, [Exhaust]: [Add] [Any Power].") |
| Black Market | [Any Power][Any Power]: Draw 1. Each player may use this ability once on their turn (even if they don't control this battlefield). |
| Black Rose Sanctum | For each player, the first time each turn a non-token unit they control dies here, they play a 1 [Might] Recruit unit token to their base. |
| Cosmic Vista | When you hold here, if your Rune Deck is empty, you score 1 point. |
| Durand Memorial | When you defend here, choose a unit you control here. Give it [Tank] this combat. (It must be assigned combat damage first.) |
| Firelights' Hideout | When you conquer here, the next unit you play this turn has [Accelerate]. (You may pay [1] and a Power of its Domain as an additional cost to have it enter ready.) |
| Hunters' Circle | For each player, the first unit or gear they play here on their turn costs [1] less. |
| Packed Amphitheater | Champion units here have +1 [Might]. |
| Rakelstake | For each player, the first time they play a unit or gear here each turn, they [Predict]. (They look at the top card of their Main Deck. They may recycle it.) |
| Ruined Monastery | When you conquer here, you may discard 1 and channel 1 rune exhausted. |
Every deck brings 3 battlefields with different names, and a 1v1 game uses one of each player's. How battlefields and scoring work →
Frequently Asked Questions
When does Riftbound Radiance come out?
October 23, 2026, in English, French and Chinese. Stores run Pre-Rift events, Riftbound's prerelease, from October 16 to 22.
How many cards are in Radiance?
167 in the main set. On October 11, 2026, Riot's card gallery showed 144 of them and 192 Radiance cards in all, counting overnumbered printings, alternate arts, SP cards and runes. The rest are still to be revealed.
Who are the Radiance Legends?
Riot says the set has nine. Eight are revealed: Ekko, Ziggs, Mordekaiser, Orianna, K'Sante, Seraphine, Evelynn and Jarvan IV, each the champion's first Legend. Riven's Signature card is revealed while her Legend is not, so she is the likely ninth.
What does Deploy do in Riftbound?
A card with Deploy can only be played to a battlefield, and it dies when an opponent holds that battlefield. Ziggs's Bomb tokens have it, as do gear like The Ball and Demacian Standard. Riot's Core Rules have the full rules.
Where is the Radiance card list?
Each revealed card has its own page, linked from the tables in this guide. A full Radiance card list with prices will follow once the set is out and TCGplayer's prices settle; before release they are presale listings, not market prices.
