Flood Ink Evolved

June 23, 2026

Discover how the vine has used this resource to grow and grow and grow

Soon after Illumineers Shanzay, Martin, and Venturo arrived in the realm of Lorcana, magical mixed ink mistakenly flooded through the halls of the Great Illuminary and into the Inklands below. As glimmers encountered this torrent of ink, they were transformed in spectacular, unique ways. These new Floodborn glimmers possessed a helpful new gameplay ability: Shift. This power, made possible by the flood ink, was incredibly important to all Illumineers. But now this once easy-to-find resource is becoming hard to come by.

While we trekked back to the Great Illuminary during the events of Wilds Unknown, the vine sucked up all the magical mixed ink for itself. Drawing from the ink’s power, the vine has become something completely unstable, growing uncontrollably!

These vine creatures sprouted from the vine may look similar to ones you recognize, but the flood ink used to create them has given them new forms . . . Unique! Terrifying! Botanical! 

Even more shocking is that these Vinelings are Floodborn right from creation, not requiring Shift to power up. Each herbaceous horror shares its powers with all others, spreading them through their shared flood ink.

As the Vinelings’ numbers grow and flood ink is nowhere to be found, how will Illumineers be able to stand against this threat that overwhelms the realm?

By remembering the most important part of our stories: we’re stronger together.

Your glimmers don’t only have their own stories, they have the stories they share with each other. Moments where they grow and become something bigger than themselves. Stories of love, friendship, and family—creating glimmers more bold, adventurous, and powerful than any flood ink!

Through the bonds they share with each other, glimmers have unlocked the power to shift without flood ink! You’ll find dual ink teams for any ink combination that can go toe-to-toe with the vine and any Vineling that comes their way.

Over the coming weeks, be on the lookout for more Teams and even more Shift abilities. You’ll be able to discover them for yourself when Attack of the Vine! prereleases on July 17. Go to tcg.RavensburgerPlay.com to find a Prerelease event near you.
