In the latest reveal for the upcoming expansion to Legends of Runeterra, Noxus has gained their famous exile, Riven. Riven is coming along with a brand new keyword, Reforge, which creates pieces of her weapon, the Blade of the Exile. Riven’s unique status as a champion requires players to use this new keyword to level her up.

What does Reforge do?
Reforge creates a Heavy Blade Fragment, which offers 1 of 3 buffs, Overwhelm, Quick Attack, and +2|0 this turn. Once you place all three buffs onto one follower, the blade is reforged, creating a new slow spell card offering a massive buff. Just creating this card will instantly level Riven up.

What cards activate Reforge?
Currently, there are a few different ways to activate Reforge. The first is simply having an attack token while Riven is summoned, but supporting cards help players rebuild this blade.
Weapon Hilt (Common)
