Another clue we are able to gather about the brand new champion coming to League of Legends.
First Clue
According to the champion roadmap that Riot published about all the upcoming champions that they are planning to make at the end of 2020 – the start of 2021, one of the new champions is one of the most dangerous criminals/outlaws that can’t be tracked down.
“Attention! The empire will pay greatly for the capture and detainment of this runaway criminal. The fugitive is EXTREMELY dangerous, so approach with caution. They are heavily armored and will attack if even slightly provoked. Wear light armor, as reports show warbands have been killed with their heavy gear twisted and shattered, littering the ground around them. The criminal’s been known to mount a quick retreat when cornered, so bringing a highly-trained team is recommended. If you somehow manage to detain this criminal, please bring them directly to the closest empire-building marked with a black rose.”
Second Clue
We also covered the second clue in our past article. The new champion’s appearance was shown in multiple Preseason 2021 poster.
Third Clue
A few days ago, Riot Games published a teaser about this new champion with this caption: “Hurt someone enough, and they just might hurt you back.”
Via this video, we can obtain some important information here:
- According to the visual: We can confirm now that this champion will be holding a lance as his/her main weapon. Also, it looks like when the lance lights up and covers in lava-looking particle effect, it can be used to deal enormous, explosive damage. Everything around that lance has completely turned into ruins and smoke rises from the shattered concretes.
- According to the flavor text that Riot gave out: Will this champion’s mechanics be similar to Sett’s Passive? When you are kept getting hit by other champions – maybe his lance will light up and put an end to every enemy that is targeting him. As for any human, when you push them to the edge of their life, they might hurt you back.
- According to the lore, Riot provided: Maybe he will able to utilize the lance ability which is a really innovative weapon in League of Legends. If the description is correct, his abilities might be able to deal out an empowered stab, furthermore, reduce the enemy’s armor/magic resistance.
