With the upcoming expansion, a new Champion is joining the Targon roster: Taric, the Shield of Valoran.

Taric to join Legends of Runeterra with Call of the Mountain

With Call of the Mountain, Legends of Runeterra's upcoming expansion, an eight region will be added to the game: Targon! Although we're expecting Leona and Diana to soon join the fight, Riot rather introduced one of the most iconic League champions to its CCG: Taric. Moreover, the Shield of Valoran brings with him a new mechanic: Gems.

Taric will be playable on August 26 with the release of the first part of the expansion.

New Targon Champion — Taric

Level 1 - Legends of Runeterra
Level 2 - Legends of Runeterra
Signature Spell - Legends of Runeterra

In League, Taric was made to support its allies and heal them through a bound he creates with them. His card version isn't that much different, since he duplicates the effect of a spell you played on him on the ally he's currently supporting — just like if they were bounded. For this reason, Taric should easily find a spot in Fiora and Shen decklists...

New card type: Gems

Introduced with Taric, Gems are Burst spells that can't be casted in response to a combat or a spell — which means they're not really Burst spells. As they heal an ally from 1 and grant him +1 | +0, we can safely assume they'll be used in Taric/Heimerdinger decks allowing to level-up Taric quickly.
