Tawan
We finish the twelve Origins Legends with one of the most iconic champions in League of Legends, and a Legend that’s all about movement, Yasuo, Unforgiven.
Unforgiven
Calm · Chaos
OGN · 259/298 · EN · Art by TSWCK逍
What his Legend does
For two Energy, Yasuo’s Legend moves one of your units to or from your base (Riot Games, n.d.-a). That works both ways, so you can rush a fresh unit straight into a fight or pull a damaged one back to safety before it dies.
His champion cards
Yasuo, Remorseful deals damage equal to his Might to an enemy unit at his battlefield whenever he attacks. Yasuo, Windrider has Ganking, and the third time he moves in a turn you score a point (Riot Games, n.d.-a).
Why it matters
Windrider is the star here. Ganking gives him moves between battlefields, and the Legend could provide another by moving him to or from your base, which would make that third move, and the bonus point, much easier to reach. Whether the Legend’s move counts towards Windrider’s three is worth confirming against the rules, but it’s the line I’d build around. Remorseful, on the other hand, makes every attack a guaranteed hit.
It’s a bit like a combo in a platformer, where every extra move keeps the chain alive.
The Overnumbered version
The standard Legend is by TSWCK逍, and the Overnumbered alternate art is by Quy Ho (Riot Games, n.d.-a).
In League of Legends
Yasuo, the Unforgiven
Fighter / Assassin · Ionia
An Ionian of deep resolve, Yasuo is an agile swordsman who wields the air itself against his enemies. Falsely accused of murdering his master as a proud young man, he was forced to slay his own brother in self-defense. Even after the true killer was revealed, Yasuo could not forgive himself, and he now wanders his homeland with only the wind to guide his blade (Riot Games, n.d.-b).
From the Rift to the table
Yasuo’s card names carry his story. Unforgiven is his League title and Remorseful is the guilt he can’t escape, while Windrider is pure League gameplay, as anyone who has watched a Yasuo dash from enemy to enemy with Sweeping Blade knows that three moves in a turn is nothing for him. His full story is on his official League of Legends champion page.
If you like Legends built on movement, our Miss Fortune Spotlight has a very different take on the same idea, and every Spotlight so far is on the Cards page. The older sets are next, and the Spiritforged Legends are where the series goes from here.
It are what it are.
