The Riftbound community is buzzing with the announcement of the second major set: Spiritforged! This expansion is not just a fresh wave of cards; it's a fundamental shift in strategy and deck-building, built upon the foundation of the Origins set.
Here’s your ultimate guide to everything we know about Spiritforged so far, straight from the developers:
The Theme: Steel and Spirit
The set is built around the idea that Spiritforged weapons are extensions of your might and soul.
Forged Aspect: Represents the steel you wield in battle.
Spirit Aspect: Draws inspiration from the Ionia Spirit Blossom, lifting the veil between the mortal and spirit realms. This beautiful, ethereal theme is woven into the art and some of the Champions.
The New Game-Changing Mechanics
Spiritforged introduces three major mechanics that will define the new meta:
1. Gold Token (The New Resource)
What it is: A brand new Gear token type.
Why it matters: Gold provides a new path to power. Spending Gold gets you a Power Resource of any domain, granting incredible resource flexibility for powerful card plays.
Key Champions: New Legends like Civer and Ranata Classic are centered around generating and spending Gold. Draven Vanquisher generates Gold when he conquers Battlefields.
2. Equipment Cards (Combat Surprises)
What they are: A new type of card that lets you enhance your Units in unique ways.
Example Cards: Trinity Force grants +2 Might and an additional Victory Point when holding a Battlefield. Guardian Angel prevents a unit from dying one time.
New Keywords for Equipment:
Quick Draw: Allows you to play Equipment from your hand onto a Unit as a reaction during the Chain. This turns equipment into a tactical combat trick.
Weapon Master: Allows Units (like Lucian Merciless) to equip something for free when played.
3. Repeat (Spell Power)
What it is: A new mechanic that allows you to play a spell twice if you can pay its cost a second time.
Strategic Impact: This drastically increases the power ceiling of spells like Feral Strength, rewarding players who manage their resources well to double down on crucial effects.
