Graves Enters Riftbound as a New Champion Unit
Riot Games' physical card game Riftbound will add Graves, a popular League of Legends jungler, in its upcoming Radiance set. The card, Graves, Blasting Through, costs 5 Energy and one Fury Rune, has 4 Might, and damages every enemy unit at its battlefield when attacking or defending. It is designed to reflect his shotgun-based League playstyle rather than traditional combat damage.
Graves is a League of Legends character: a mercenary, gambler, and outlaw who carries a large double-barreled shotgun named Destiny. Mobalytics data after the Sept. 22 patch ranked him among the strongest junglers, especially below Diamond. He had not appeared in Riftbound before this Radiance set card.
The card is a rare Champion Unit costing 5 Energy and one Fury Rune, with 4 Might. When attacking or defending, it deals damage equal to its Might to every enemy unit at that battlefield, rather than normal combat damage. This reflects his shotgun spread and ultimate, Collateral Damage. It can threaten groups of smaller units, but does nothing immediately when played.
Graves’ arrival could energize Riftbound’s community by connecting League of Legends fans with tabletop players. Collectors and competitive players may seek the Radiance set, potentially affecting local game-store demand and secondary-market prices. His defensive ability may also shape deck-building and tournament discussions, as players weigh removal and Might-boosting options. If the card proves strong, it could increase engagement and spending among existing fans, while newcomers may face higher costs or availability hurdles. The broader impact likely remains within hobby gaming rather than mainstream society.
