What is the Riftbound: Spiritforged booster box?
The Spiritforged Booster Box is the box of booster packs for Riftbound: Spiritforged, the second set in the game. Riot’s own pages describe the set as “the first official expansion in Riftbound” and give it 221 new cards.
Riot’s wording varies by page. The launch-learnings post speaks of “Origins and Spiritforged Booster Boxes”, while the merch store update speaks of a “Booster Display” and of Booster Display preorders. This guide uses “booster box” as the main term and “Booster Display” when it quotes the merch store.
The cards in Riot’s decklists carry the prefix SFD and are numbered out of 221, for example Rumble, Hotheaded at SFD-026/221 and Fiora, Peerless at SFD-110/221. Cards from the first set, Origins, carry the prefix OGN and are numbered out of 298, for example Dangerous Duo at OGN-016/298. Everything below comes from Riot’s pages on playriftbound.com.
When does Riftbound: Spiritforged release?
Riot’s pages give December 2025 for China and February 2026 in English, with English launch day on February 13, 2026 at 17:00 UTC.
| Item | Date or timing | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Set announcement article | August 8, 2025 | Announcement |
| China release | December 2025 | Announcement |
| English release | February 2026 | Announcement |
| Preview Season | Starts November 17, ramps up November 21, runs through December 3 | Preview post |
| Booster Display preorders | January 13, 9 a.m. Pacific Time | Merch update |
| English launch day | February 13, 2026, 17:00 UTC | Precon post |

| Gift of the Rift Bundle | December 4, 2026 | Products and sets post |
The merch update says order fulfillment is expected to begin with Spiritforged’s English release on February 13, though not every preorder is promised to ship that fast. The Preview Season dates in the table are given without a year in Riot’s post.
How many cards are in Riftbound: Spiritforged?
Riftbound: Spiritforged has 221 new cards according to Riot’s Preview Season post. The August 2025 announcement describes the set as “200+ new cards”, and the precon decklists use card numbers out of 221.
| Content | What Riot says |
|---|---|
| New cards | 221 |
| Champion Legends | 12 new playable Champion Legends |
| Overnumbered cards | 30 total, 12 of them with Signature variants; they include gear, champions, and some Legends |
| New keywords | Repeat, Gold, and Equip |
| New gear token type | Gold |
| New champions | Ezreal, Fiora, Irelia, Lucian, and Rumble |
| Champion Decks | Two, each playable right out of the box |
Riot gives the Overnumbered figure as 30 total, with 12 of those having Signature variants. Riot’s pages do not define the term Overnumbered, so read the card text and numbers on each card rather than assuming how it is counted.
Which card count should I quote, 221 or 200+?
Quote 221 when you want a specific number and name the Preview Season post as the source. Repeat “200+” only when you are quoting the August 2025 announcement’s own wording.
The announcement says “200+ new cards” and the Preview Season post says 221 new cards. The decklists also show SFD-221/221 on Veiled Temple in the Fiora deck, so numbers out of 221 are in use on the cards.
What new mechanics does Spiritforged add?
Spiritforged adds three new keywords: Repeat, Gold, and Equip. Gold is also a new gear token type.
- Repeat: a new keyword in Spiritforged.
- Gold: a new keyword and, separately, a new gear token type.
- Equip: a new keyword in Spiritforged.
Riot’s pages name the keywords but do not spell out their rules text, so read each card for the exact wording. The Overnumbered cards that Riot describes include gear, champions, and some Legends.
Which champions are new in Spiritforged?
Riot names five new champions in the set: Ezreal, Fiora, Irelia, Lucian, and Rumble. The preview post adds 12 new playable Champion Legends.
| Champion | Named as new in Spiritforged |
|---|---|
| Ezreal | Yes |
| Fiora | Yes, with a Champion preconstructed deck |
| Irelia | Yes |
| Lucian | Yes (Lucian, Merciless is SFD-113/221 in the Fiora deck) |
| Rumble | Yes, with a Champion preconstructed deck |
The five champions and the 12 Champion Legends come from different pages and describe different things, so do not add them together. Riot’s pages give only the number of Legends and do not name all 12, so this guide does not either.
What was the Spiritforged Preview Season?
Preview Season was a Riot event period for Spiritforged that starts November 17, ramps up November 21, and runs through December 3. The same post describes the in-store side of the launch.
- Pre-Rift events happen a week before the official release.
- The Pre-Rift kit includes a sealed deck kit, a set Legend, and a champion unit with a promo stamp.
- Nexus Night promo packs may contain a Spiritforged alternate art rune or one of 16 Rares and Epics originally printed in Proving Grounds.
- Summoner’s Skirmishes in March and April will have promotional Equipment cards.
The hashtag Riot uses for the set is #RBSpiritforged.
How were the Spiritforged Booster Displays preordered?
Spiritforged Booster Display preorders go live on the Riot Merch Store on January 13 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, with a limit of one Booster Display per Riot ID for that preorder round.
| Product | Riot Merch Store rule |
|---|---|
| Spiritforged Booster Display | Preorders January 13, 9 a.m. PT; limit one per Riot ID for this preorder round |
| Champion Decks (Rumble and Fiora) | Preorders also open January 13; limit three of each per Riot ID |
| Lunar Revel Bundle 2026 (Chinese-language edition) | $39.99; includes three Chinese-language Spiritforged Booster Packs; orders go live February 17; won’t ship until May |
Riot says order fulfillment is expected to begin with the English release on February 13, though not every preorder is promised to ship that fast. The limits belong to that preorder round.
Are Spiritforged booster boxes affected by the rarity issue?
No. Riot says rarity distribution at the booster box level is not affected, because Origins and Spiritforged Booster Boxes both contain the correct number of rares because of how they are packed.
The issue concerns individual packs. Riot’s launch-learnings post says only a very small percentage of individual packs are missing a rare, and that “the rarity distribution issue will still be happening for some Spiritforged booster packs.” The team wants every pack you open to feel awesome with at least 2 rares or better in each pack.
- A similar replacement program is planned for affected individually purchased Spiritforged packs, which Riot’s post says release next year.
- Replacements are expected to ship before the end of the year, with a limit of 3 per person and 6 per household; conditions apply.
- Riot says the rarity issue won’t be fully fixed until the third set.
Riot’s post does not name the calendar year for “next year”, so check Riot’s own page for the exact timing of the replacement program.

The Fiora list also includes the Origins cards Pit Rookie (OGN-136/298) and Vengeance (OGN-229/298), plus six each of Order Rune (OGN-214/298) and Body Rune (OGN-126/298).
How do I read the card numbers in the precon lists?
Read a number like SFD-110/221 as the card’s position in the Spiritforged list out of 221, and a number like OGN-016/298 as a position in the Origins list out of 298. Token cards use a different format: the Mech Token is SFD-T01 and the Sand Soldier Token is SFD-T02, with no “/221” after them.
The lists show that each precon draws on both sets. Both decks include six copies of two Origins Rune cards, listed by quantity in the tables above. The Rumble list has 19 lines of Spiritforged cards in Riot’s post, and the Fiora list has 23, counting each token as one line.
Where do Spiritforged packs appear in later Riftbound products?
Spiritforged packs appear in the Gift of the Rift Bundle, which includes 3 booster packs from Spiritforged, alongside 3 each from Origins, Unleashed and Vendetta and 4 from Radiance. It is listed for December 4, 2026, sold through local game stores and mass retailers in English and Chinese.
Spiritforged packs also appear in the Lunar Revel Bundle 2026, the Chinese-language edition at $39.99 with three Chinese-language Spiritforged Booster Packs. The same products-and-sets post notes that starting with Legacy (Set 6), boosters will contain 6 Common cards instead of 7, “as with previous sets.”
What should a reader take from the Spiritforged facts?
Spiritforged is the second Riftbound set and the first official expansion, with 221 new cards, five named new champions, and an English launch day of February 13, 2026. Riot says booster boxes are not affected by the rarity distribution issue, while some individual packs can still be missing a rare.
Riot’s own pages are the reference for dates and product rules, since preorder limits and replacement conditions are set by Riot.
