Riftbound Radiance Collector's Guide: Ultimate Rare Odds, K/DA and Heartsteel

Radiance's Ultimate Rare shows up in about 0.025% of packs. Here are the pack odds, K/DA Special Alt Arts, Heartsteel Overnumbers, products and promos ahead of the Oct 23 release.

Riot updated its official Radiance overview on October 5, and this time it's all about what's in the packs. Previews end October 9. Pre-Rifts run October 16 to 22, and Radiance releases worldwide on October 23 in English, French and Simplified Chinese, the first Riftbound set to launch in all three at once.

The rarest Ultimate Rare yet

Radiance brings Riftbound's second Ultimate Rare, and Riot says it's much harder to find than the Unleashed Baron. On average across the whole print run, it appears in about 0.025% of booster packs, roughly 1 in 4,000. It's also the first showcase Battlefield to be an Ultimate Rare. No pack, box or case is guaranteed to have one, and a pack can hold at most one.

What's in a Radiance booster

7 Commons, 3 Uncommons, 1 foil (Common, Uncommon, Rare or Epic), 1 Rare or Epic, 1 slot that can be a Rare, Epic, Alt Art, Special Alt Art, Overnumber or the Ultimate Rare, 1 Token, Rune or Alt Art Rune, and 1 insert.
