How does the Fury domain play?

Fury is the red domain of Riftbound: the League of Legends trading card game, one of the six domains that most cards belong to. In Riot's Deckbuilding Primer, Game Director Dave Guskin writes that Fury is "about aggression, passion, and the thrill of conquering." A Fury card shows the Fury symbol, a circle with three points, and the Power it asks for is Fury Power, which comes from Fury Runes.

No deck plays Fury on its own. Every Legend so far has two domains, so a Fury deck always has a second domain to take its cards and runes from, and that partner changes a lot about how the deck plays.

What does a Fury deck try to do?

A Fury deck tries to take battlefields early and score its points before the opponent has settled in, and its cards are built to get units to the battlefields first.

Speed matters because units are slow by default. A unit enters the board exhausted, and a unit moves by exhausting, so a new unit usually waits a turn before it can reach a battlefield. Fury has more cards that get around that wait than any other domain. Eager Drakehound always enters ready, and Magma Wurm makes your other units enter ready as well. Legion Rearguard costs 2 Energy and has Accelerate: if you pay 1 Energy and one Fury Power more, it enters ready and can move on the turn you play it.

Which keywords and effects show up most in Fury?

Four things turn up again and again on Fury cards.

• Accelerate. Fury has more units with Accelerate than any other domain. Sharkling pairs it with Assault 4, so for 4 Energy and one Fury Power it arrives ready and attacks with 5 Might.
• Assault. A unit with Assault has more Might while it attacks, and most cards with Assault are Fury cards. Cleave costs 1 Energy and gives a unit Assault 3 for the turn, which is often enough to turn a fight.
• Legion. A Legion ability switches on once you have played another card in the turn, and Legion appears only on Fury cards, Order cards or cards of both. Noxus Hopeful costs 2 Energy less after another card, which makes two cards in one turn easy.
• Rewards for conquering. Kai'Sa, Survivor draws a card when she conquers. Tryndamere, Barbarian scores you one more point when he conquers after an attack in which you assigned 5 or more excess damage to enemy units.

How does Fury get rid of enemy units?

Fury removes units with damage spells. Hextech Ray deals 3 to a unit at a battlefield for 1 Energy and one Fury Power. Void Seeker deals 4 and draws you a card, and Scorched Earth from Radiance, the fifth set, with its release on 23 October 2026, splits 5 damage among the units at one battlefield. A unit dies when the damage marked on it reaches its Might, and damage that does not kill heals after each combat and at the end of each turn, so a Fury player aims each spell at a unit it can finish.

Most of these spells reach only units at a battlefield, so a unit that stays in its owner's base is safe from them. A few reach any unit, such as Falling Star, which deals 3 to a unit twice, and Super Mega Death Rocket!, the signature spell of Jinx, which deals 5.

Where is Fury weak?

Fury is weakest at drawing cards and at dealing with units that will not fight. Riot's primer names both gaps: Fury struggles to draw lots of cards and to kill units outright, most of all units that sit in their base and stay out of combat.

Fury also spends its cards quickly, and some of its cards cost other cards on top of their Energy. Jinx, Demolitionist makes you discard 2 when you play her. Get Excited! discards a card to deal damage equal to that card's Energy cost, and Ruthless Strike deals 5 instead of 3 if you discard a card for it. An empty hand leaves a Fury deck with little to do, so many Fury decks lean on their second domain or their Legend for cards. Loose Cannon, the Legend of Jinx, draws you a card at the start of your Beginning Phase when you hold one card or none.

Which Legends pair Fury with another domain?

Each of the other five domains has at least one Legend that pairs it with Fury. Chaos is the most common partner so far, with six Legends from Jinx in Origins to Ziggs in Radiance, whose release date is 23 October 2026. Calm has only one, the Legend of Akali. One Legend for each partner shows the difference.

• Loose Cannon (Jinx, Fury and Chaos) refills an empty hand, so it suits a deck that plays its cards out fast.
• Hand of Noxus (Darius, Fury and Order) adds 1 Energy once you have played a card in the turn, which helps pay for the second card that switches on Legion.
• Relentless Storm (Volibear, Fury and Body) lets you channel an extra rune when you play a Mighty unit, one with 5 Might or more, so a deck of big units gets its runes out faster.
• Daughter of the Void (Kai'Sa, Fury and Mind) adds one Power of any domain that can only pay for spells, so it wants a deck full of damage spells.
• Rogue Assassin (Akali, Fury and Calm) can pull one of your units out of a showdown on your turn and send it back to your base.

The Legends page shows every Fury Legend with the Fury filter set. Because the Legend decides the second domain of a deck, the simplest way to pick a Legend is to start from the champion you like best.

Is Fury a good domain for a new player?

Fury is one of the easiest domains to start with, because its plan is plain: play units, send them to the battlefields and count the points. The lesson Fury teaches the hard way is pacing. A deck that throws every card at the first battlefield can run dry before its last points, so it pays to keep one damage spell for the unit that would stop your final point.

Several ready-made decks are led by a Fury Legend. The Annie deck in the Proving Grounds box plays Fury and Chaos, as do the Origins Champion Deck: Jinx and the Zed deck of the Vendetta Showdown Decks. The Spiritforged Champion Deck: Rumble pairs Fury with Mind, and the Unleashed Champion Deck: Vi pairs it with Order. Each of these three Champion Decks had a launch price of $19.99.

The card lists can show the Fury cards alone: the Fury units, the Fury spells and the Fury gear. The deck builder keeps a Fury deck of your own inside its Legend's two domains.
