And here's the news we've been waiting for! Bilgewater will be the new region released in the first expansion for Legends of Runeterra! The new set, named "Rising Tides", will release next week along with the official launch of the game and mobile access. From the cards revealed below we finally discover how to summon the Stormclaw Ursine, which was revealed back when they did Freljord spoilers.

I stopped playing Runeterra because games were kinda long and I did not enjoy them much. But I have to say that I really want to play with the new faction. Pirate warrior and rogue are my favorite deck in hs. Not becase I love aggro but because I love pirates. I'm really hoping to have fun with pirate in Runeterra as well.
Ursine Spiritwalker = Udyr
Probably the 2nd champion of Freljord.
hoping for some pyke
Hype :)
the keyword reminds me of raid from the Ixalan expansion in MTG
So you're telling me Smooth Soloist can reduce the cost of my boy [Hearthstone Card (Zephyr Sage) Not Found] up to (0)? Omg I'm so happy, can't wait to craft that card and check if Ionia and Bilgewater work together.
Ooh yeah! You could play two soloists and then have infinite 0 Mana 4/4s (if the Zephyr Sages copy each other)
They do. When you play copy a Zephyr Sage with another Zephyr Sage, the buffs transfer to the rest of Zephyr Sages. You can do stuff like 3-mana 7/7 Barrier Zephyr Sages in late game. And the thing is that there is no counter to the strat. The drawback is that it's very slow and forces you to build weird stuff.
Guess we now know which region Sejuani levels up the easiest with.
Smooth Soloist and the Tuskraider are also really cool, since they have powerful effects, but they come into the game so late that they don’t seem like they’re going to be overpowered. Also, more champion tutoring is always cool.
Also, with Jagged Taskmaster it might actually work to make a spider-bilgewater deck!
I can imagine The Tuskraider getting a nerf at some point, the value it creates is ridiculous. It all comes down to how reliably one can trigger Plunder.
I wonder if other regions will get "Champion ships" now that Sejuani has The Tuskraider and Swain has The Leviathan. I'd be surprised if Bilgewater doesn't get one, but the other regions might have some flavor issues preventing that.
These plunder cards seem insane! I actually really like them because you can get the plunder effect to trigger by getting attack damage through, but the more direct nexus damage cards you include, the more consistently you can get the effect off. This also makes the Noxus siege cards much better, because now siege engine basically says “you can always trigger plunder effects”. It also creates interesting gameplay in which the opponent has to always try to avoid nexus damage or risk plunder effects happening.
Was the video implying that the final voice is Miss Fortune? She suddenly has an accent, while Gangplank's voice was the same as ever.

To my ears: they sound different, but only slightly. I think maybe she's hamming it up a bit more in the trailer than the normal interactions which is what caught you off-guard.
