Welcome to the ultimate summer showdown, League of Legends enthusiasts! Riot Games has unveiled a thrilling new Arena game mode, a deathmatch-style contest where duos compete in multiple rounds until a single team emerges victorious. This mode is set to launch alongside the much-awaited Soul Fighter summer event this July, which will also introduce 10 new skins.
The Arena mode brings a plethora of new gameplay elements that are bound to thrill players seeking a fresh experience in their beloved MOBA. These include Teamfight Tactics-inspired Augments, four novel miniature map variants, and the introduction of in-game map hazards known as Champion Cameos.
Combat modifiers called “Champion Cameos” feature champions from the Soul Fighter skin range and are team-neutral. They have numerous methods to substantially change how the war plays out. Whether it’s full camouflage or dodging a global Lux or Jhin ult, players of all ranks are in for a treat.
Here’s a rundown of the Champion Cameos in the new Arena game mode:
- Evelynn: Provides all players with camouflage
- Gwen: Periodically shields the player with the lowest health with Hallowed Mist
- Jhin: Executes Curtain Call across the entire map, alternating shots on each player
- Lux: Circulates a laser tripwire, casting Final Spark on any champion that trips the laser
- Naafiri: The pack patrols the arena, pouncing on any champions they find
- Pyke: Casts Phantom Undertow occasionally at the player who is farthest away.
- Samira: Combos off players crowd control, and executes her ultimate after six combos
- Sett: Attackable; casts the Haymaker spell on the last adversary to hit him
- Shaco: Constantly places jack-in-the-boxes around the map
- Viego: The first player to die temporarily becomes Viego
With these exciting new elements, the Arena mode promises plenty of outplays and thrilling moments for all players.
