'''''Rise of the Floodborn''''' is the second set of the ''[[Disney Lorcana]]'' trading card game. It was released by [[Ravensburger]] on November 17, 2023 for local game stores, and on December 1, 2023 for mass retail.<ref>{{cite web |title=Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn Release Date and Details |url=https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/55318/disney-lorcana-rise-floodborn-release-date-details |publisher=ICv2 |date=October 15, 2023 |access-date=2026-04-21}}</ref> The set introduces the '''Floodborn''' character type and the '''Resist''' keyword, continuing the story after the events of ''The First Chapter''.

The set consists of 204 cards, including foil versions of every card. Unlike ''The First Chapter'', ''Rise of the Floodborn'' does not have Enchanted variants; instead, it features 6 Enchanted cards (reduced from 12).<ref>{{cite web |title=Disney Lorcana Rise of the Floodborn Card List and Guide |url=https://www.gfinityesports.com/disney-lorcana/rise-of-the-floodborn-card-list/ |publisher=Gfinity |date=November 20, 2023 |access-date=2026-04-21}}</ref>

== Story ==
Following the events of ''The First Chapter'', a massive wave of magical ink – called the "Flood" – sweeps across the world of Lorcana, transforming many Storyborn characters into new, more powerful forms known as '''Floodborn'''. These Floodborn characters possess altered abilities, appearances, and sometimes darker personalities. Illumineers must learn to harness this new power while facing the rising threat of Ursula, who seeks to control the Flood for her own purposes.

== New mechanics ==
=== Floodborn ===
Floodborn is a new character subtype representing characters transformed by the ink Flood. Floodborn cards are primarily played via the '''Shift''' keyword, allowing them to be played on top of a matching Storyborn character for a reduced cost.

=== Resist ===
'''Resist''' is a new keyword that reduces damage taken by a character. For example, "Resist +1" means the character takes 1 less damage from any source. Resist stacks with multiple instances.

=== Shift ===
Shift returns from ''The First Chapter'' but appears on many more Floodborn cards in this set. Shift costs are typically 2–4 ink less than the normal play cost.

== Products ==
''Rise of the Floodborn'' was available in the following product formats:
* '''Booster packs''' – 12 random cards, including one foil.
* '''Booster boxes''' – 24 packs.
* '''Starter decks''' – Two decks (Amber/Sapphire and Emerald/Steel).<ref name="StarterDecks">{{cite web |title=Rise of the Floodborn Starter Decks Revealed |url=https://www.cbr.com/disney-lorcana-rise-floodborn-starter-decks/ |publisher=CBR |date=November 1, 2023 |access-date=2026-04-21}}</ref>
* '''Illumineer's Trove''' – 8 packs, two deck boxes, player's guide, storage box.
* '''Disney100 Collector's Set''' – A special box celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary, containing 6 booster packs and 6 foil promo cards (one per Ink color).<ref>{{cite web |title=Disney100 Lorcana Collector's Set Announced |url=https://www.polygon.com/disney-lorcana/2023/10/05/disney100-collectors-set |publisher=Polygon |date=October 5, 2023 |access-date=2026-04-21}}</ref>

Notably, ''Rise of the Floodborn'' did not include a Gift Set product.

== Starter decks ==
Two starter decks were released with this set:
* '''Amber/Sapphire''' – Focuses on healing and resource ramp.
* '''Emerald/Steel''' – Focuses on disruption and resilient characters.<ref name="StarterDecks"/>

== Notable cards ==
* ''Mickey Mouse – Wayward Sorcerer'' (Floodborn, Shift from ''Mickey Mouse – True Friend'')
* ''Belle – Strange but Special'' (Floodborn, Shift from ''Belle – Inventive Engineer'')
* ''Ursula – Deceiver of All'' (Legendary Villain)
* ''Cinderella – Stouthearted'' (Resist keyword)
* ''Stitch – Carefree Surfer'' (Floodborn)

== Reception ==
''Rise of the Floodborn'' was well received, with critics praising the introduction of Floodborn as a flavorful and strategic addition. However, some players noted that the set had fewer high-impact cards than ''The First Chapter'', making it slightly less essential for competitive play.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lorcana Rise of the Floodborn Review: A Solid Second Act |url=https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/disney-lorcana/review/rise-of-the-floodborn-review |publisher=Dicebreaker |date=December 5, 2023 |access-date=2026-04-21}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* This is the first set to reduce Enchanted cards from 12 to 6 (a pattern that continues in all subsequent sets).
* The set introduced the first dual‑Ink cards? (No – that came later in ''Archazia's Island''; correction: no dual‑ink in this set.)
* The Floodborn concept was hinted at in ''The First Chapter'' through flavor text on cards like ''Floodborn Magic''.
