Riftbound: Radiance, the League of Legends trading card game's fifth set, releases October 23, 2026, and Evelynn is one of the six champions officially confirmed so far. She's also the other half of the set's headline Showdown Deck pairing, going up against Seraphine.
Preview season for Radiance runs September 25 through October 9, which means full card text for several champions, Evelynn included, is still rolling out in stages rather than landing all at once.
For collectors deciding which single champion to prioritize before the full set is even revealed, understanding exactly what's confirmed about Evelynn right now matters more than guessing at specifics that haven't been published.
Here's a closer look at what's actually locked in about her card, and what's still to come.
Evelynn is confirmed as a Champion Unit card with a Chaos domain, and her printed card name is In Control. Riot has revealed her name and artwork during preview season, but full ability text and exact stats were still being confirmed as spoiler season continued.
That's a normal stage for a set this close to release rather than a gap in reporting — several of Radiance's nine confirmed and unrevealed champions were in the same position at the same point in previews.
Evelynn anchors one of the two preconstructed decks in Riftbound Radiance's Showdown Decks product, going up directly against Seraphine. Riot describes the pairing as a clash between Evelynn's seductive, sultry style and Seraphine's bright, bubbly stage presence.
This is the same two-player starter format Riftbound used for Vendetta's Showdown Decks, giving new players a built-in rivalry to play out of the box.
Radiance features nine confirmed Legend slots total. Seraphine, Evelynn, Ekko, Ziggs, Jarvan IV, and Orianna were named heading into preview season, with three additional champions revealed as spoilers continued through October 9.
Evelynn's confirmation alongside the box art duo of Ekko and Seraphine puts her among the set's most prominently featured champions rather than a background reveal.
All nine of Radiance's new Legends receive Overnumbered variants, a showcase treatment that also includes an artist's signature option. That gives a champion like Evelynn multiple collectible tiers beyond her standard booster-pack printing.
Radiance also introduces the set's second-ever Ultimate Rare, its rarest chase card yet, though it isn't tied to any single champion until it's fully revealed later in preview season, so Evelynn collectors shouldn't assume a connection to it either way. A EVORETRO Magnetic One-Touch Holder is a reasonable way to be ready for whichever showcase print ends up mattering most.
With full ability text still rolling out, some collectors prefer to wait until October 9's preview close before deciding how hard to chase a specific Evelynn print. Others prioritize securing the Showdown Deck itself early, since it's a confirmed, dated product rather than a spoiler-dependent single.
Either approach is reasonable — the Showdown Deck guarantees an Evelynn preconstructed deck regardless of which individual chase variants end up mattering most competitively.
Champions six through nine were still being confirmed as previews continued past Orianna's early-September reveal. Anyone building a complete Radiance champion collection should treat the current six-name list as a strong starting point, not the final roster.
Checking back through October 9 is the reliable way to catch the last few reveals before the October 23 release, and it's worth revisiting this spotlight once Evelynn's full ability text and stats are locked in.
Ekko and Seraphine take center stage on the Radiance booster display box art, with Ziggs and Jarvan IV in supporting roles on the same artwork. Evelynn doesn't appear on the box itself, but her Showdown Deck billing puts her on equal footing with Seraphine in terms of product prominence.
That split between box-art champions and Showdown Deck champions is worth knowing before assuming box presence is the only signal of how central a champion is to the set.
She's confirmed as a Champion Unit with a Chaos domain.
Her printed card is named In Control.
She's paired directly against Seraphine in Radiance's two-player Showdown Decks product.
Worldwide release is October 23, 2026, in English, French, and Chinese.
Whether you're chasing a specific Evelynn print or just want the Showdown Deck secured on release day, protecting a fresh pull starts the moment it's opened. EVORETRO's Perfect Fit Sleeves keep a new champion card ready for a harder case as soon as more details land.
For the eventual chase pulls once full spoilers are out, having EVORETRO's Magnetic One-Touch Holders ahead of release day saves a scramble later.
