The two new keywords will introduce new interesting mechanics to the game.

Impact: Followers with Impact deal one damage to the enemy Nexus when they strike while attacking. While it may not seem like much on its own, multiple attackers with Impact will stack the effect, allowing you to deal significant burst damage to the enemy Nexus in one fell swoop!
Manifest: Manifest embodies the spirit of adventure in Beyond the Bandlewood, letting you choose between three cards chosen at random (within specific parameters, depending on the card used) when the effect is activated.

On top of this, the new champions are:

Caitlyn
Nami
Poppy
Senna
Sion
Tristana
Veigar
Xerath
Ziggs

Players can also look forward to new personalization items that are purchasable in the new expansion such as new boards and guardians. While lots of new content is releasing with the expansion if you don't see a change you've been looking for don't worry. Lots of additional updates are coming soon to the game in the upcoming weeks.
