Riot recently introduced the new LoL game mode: Arena. To spice the game mode up, Riot decided to add champion cameos to the arena. Find out which abilities the different cameos have here.
Come one, come all to the League of Legends game mode: Arena! In this special mode, 8 players compete against each other in multiple 2v2 rounds in the arena.
In order to make Arena a unique playing experience, Riot came out with 4 new Arena maps to push different gameplay styles in each combat area.
Arena also introduces new gameplay mechanics: a new terrain feature called Deep Water, and the Power Flower, which grants a shield, heals the player and gives you cooldown reduction.
But that's not all! To make sure each playing experience is unique, Riot decided to add multiple champion cameos to the new game mode.
Champ Cameos And Their Abilities
Since this particular game mode was released along with the Soul Fighter event, champs that have Soul Fighter skins appear as so-called Cameos throughout the course of the rounds. Through Cameos, Arena mode is supposed to have some variation and force players to try different tactics in each round.
Cameos | Abilities | |
| Lux | Lux spawns in the middle of the map. Once the round starts, she rotates a laser tripwire, and casts her R, Final Spark, on any champion to trip it. | |
| Naafiri | Naafiri and her pack patrol the arena. They leap on any champions they come across. | |
| Pyke | Pyke will occasionally cast his E, Phantom Undertow, at the furthest player on the map. | |
| Samira | Samira appears as an untargetable unit. She combos off of players crowd control and casts her ultimate after doing so 6 times. | |
| Sett | Sett can be attacked by players. He will cast his W, Haymaker, at the enemies of whoever last-hitted him. | |
| Evelynn | Evelynn's cameo grants all players camoflage. | |
| Gwen | Gwen will occasionally grant her W, Hallowed Mist, to the player with the lowest health. | |
| Jhin | Jhin casts his R, Curtain Call, and alternates his shots on each player. | |
| Shaco | Shaco continously places jack-in-the-boxes, his W, all around the map. | |
| Viego | The first player to die will become Viego for some time. |
Who knows, if Arena mode is here to stay, perhaps we'll see some new cameos in the future?
