Lore

When Rei left her warren in The Burrows, she pointed her ears towards the pursuit of a mastery of magic beyond any living being's. Her quest led her to the seat of the Ruby Throne, where she found the means to achieve her ambitions.

She became fast allies and faster friends with the Scion of House Aico, Lian, gaining access to the resources of a powerful noble house in exchange for her services and advice. She strives to harness with even greater control and power the chaotic arcane forces that run throughout the Realm and bind it together. A rare magical prodigy, her tale has just begun.

The Scholar of House Aico pursues perfection, and she will throw the book at anyone who gets in her way.

Summary

With precise positioning and careful strategy, Rei is capable of keeping her allies alive whilst still racking up tons of damage. Chain Heal allows Rei to heal multiple targets at time and Spirit Link them if needed, due to the ability’s low cooldowns. Envelop can completely negate enemy large damaging Ultimates with damage mitigation and increased movement speed and jump height, allowing you to withstand the damage dealt to you then simply heal it back. Finally, Vivify will entirely save a targeted ally by granting them invulnerability then healing to their max hp, just be careful when and who you use Rei’s Ultimate on.

Trivia

• General
• Champion Skins

• Lore
• Cameos
• References
• Promotion
• Other

• While Rei looks incredibly different to other Leipori, she's a normal member of the species, as mentioned numerous times, only powerful enough to transform her own body.
• The reason Rei transformed herself is so she can better fit in with House Aico, as mentioned here.
• As mentioned here, though somewhat similar looking, the glowing blue animals Rei can create in certain cards such as Arcane Manipulation, are not the same thing as Luna.
• Rei and Lian are best friends, as stated here.
• Rei can use various types of magic outside her abilities present in-game, such as water-based magic, as can be seen in the card Future Generations.
• Though Rei and Moji may possess similar levels of magical power, Rei is far more focused and refined with hers than Moji.
• Though Rei's outfit has some resemblances to Koga's, the two have no connection, as stated here.
• Oddly, the moon is not shattered in the card Midnight Stroll. It is unknown if this is an error, or if Rei was somehow present prior to the shattering.
• Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall, and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Rei would be around 5'5 or 165cm tall without her ears, while adding her ears would bring Rei to around 6'4 or 195cm tall.

• Khan and Yagorath appear in Rei's teaser trailer.
• Yagorath also appears in the card Threat and Subject.
• Khan meanwhile, appears in the cards Aico Forces and Deft Magics.
• Lian appears in the card Aico Forces as well, also appearing in the card Refreshing Break.
• Moji appears in the card Magic in the Blood.
• A unique witch version of Rei that bears some resemblance to her Pumpkin Patch skin appears in the card Midnight Stroll.
• This witch version also appears in the Hallowed Rei avatar.
• Rei appears as part of a design featured on various pieces of Paladins merchandise.

• The line "Magic? I've studied celestial style, wild style, even tricked into summoning a demon to destroy the Magistrate style." (▶️) references Corvus being tricked by Seris into summoning Raum.
• The line "Hippity hoppity House Aico is coming for that property." (▶️) is a reference to the Hippity hoppity meme.
• The line "I commissioned an art piece the other day, I call it "Rei tracing"." (▶️) references ray tracing.
• The line "*laugh* Never bring a gun to a wavy hand fight." (▶️) is likely a reference to the song Don't Bring a Knife to a Gunfight, which has become a popular line in various forms of media.
• Rei's spawn chatter line with Jenos, "You need to apologize right now!" (▶️), may be a reference to Siege of Ascension Peak, and how Jenos refused to join House Aico, then defeated them in battle.

• As with previous champions, in order to promote Rei, Paladins artist Thunderbrush would change his Twitter profile picture prior to Rei's reveal; in this case, changing his profile picture to this image on May 17th, 2021 (later revealed to be a darkened version of Rei's splash art).

• Thunderbrush would also post this image as well, likely in an effort to tease Rei.

• Additional, similarly to past champions, Rei's promotion would also various influencer packages. From June 14th, 2021 to June 16th, 2021, packages were sent to three Paladins influencers, each package arriving in a box wrapped with a red ribbon, while within each box, was a letter, also wrapped with the same red ribbon, a pair of bunny ears, and confetti in the shape of the number '50'.

• Kresnik's package can be viewed here, while the letter specifically can be viewed here.

• The letter reads as follows:

“

Noble houses of the Realm,

This is a call to arms. The Magistrate requires your aid in the defense of Crosswind Hold. It is for such a threat is this, that the Magistrate was formed a century ago. We fight today in defense of all that is noble and righteous in the Realm.

Grand Magister,

Karne

”

• Zarini's package can be viewed here, while the letter specifically can be viewed here.

• The letter reads as follows:

“

Grand Magister Karne,

House Aico hears the call and will be arriving soon to assist in battle. I have sent ahead two of my strongest to the battlefield.

Just take good care of my Primus and Scholar in my absence, they are very important to me.

Sincerely,

Lian

”

• Jaimerasplay's package can be viewed here, while the letter specifically can be viewed here.

• The letter reads as follows:

“

My dearest Rei,

Retrieve the Codex from the Aico library. You know how important this mission is. And please, keep Khan out of trouble.

Lian

”

• Following this, Paladins UI artist Khamomeal would post this beach-themed piece of artwork, featuring Beach Bunny Rei alongside a beach version of Io and Luna.
  • The full version of this image was later posted here following Rei's reveal.
