* BringIt: A very big fan of goading people to fight him, often verbatim with the trope.

* ActionGirl: One of only a few true front line female fighters in League, akin to Shyvana and Vi.

* ActionGirl: Don't let her elegant demeanor fool you, she can and will cut you to ribbons if you threaten Ionia.

In season 3 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Illaoi was added in the ''Return to the Stars'' mid-set update using her Resistance Illaoi skin and is a 1 cost Battlecast Brawler. Her ability is ''Tentacle Smash'', which slams a tentacle in a line in front of Illaoi, damaging all enemies hit and stealing a percentage of their armor and magic resistance for a few seconds. She was removed in season 4, returning in season 6 using her base skin as a Tier 1 Mercenary Bruiser. Her ability was changed to ''Harsh Lesson'', which slams her target for magic damage and links their souls for a few seconds, healing Illaoi for a percentage of all damage taken by the linked enemy. In season 7, she uses her Cosmic Invoker Illaoi skin as a Tier 3 Astral Bruiser. Her ability was changed to ''Cosmic Smash'', which is largely identical to her season 3 ability aside from slamming three tentacles in a cone instead of one. She was removed in the ''Uncharted Realms'' mid-set update.\\

* AdaptationalModesty: Janna in the regular PC game [[{{Stripperiffic}} reaches only slightly above the bare minimum of "clothed"]], while the ''Wild Rift'' version (which, like virtually all graphical assets in the game, was rebuilt from scratch) covers up her midriff and adds more cloths around her waist to form a skirt, making an outfit that more resembles a MinidressOfPower than just plain underwear. Her other skins received similar modifications, [[https://i.redd.it/lro9hl0x8en51.jpg including her arguably even-skimpier Tempest skin.]]

Irelia's alternate skins include [[{{Ninja}} Nightblade Irelia]], [[AdventurerOutfit Aviator Irelia]], Infiltrator Irelia, [[AnIcePerson Frostblade Irelia]], Order of the Lotus Irelia, [[{{Wuxia}} Divine Sword Irelia]], [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming Invictus Gaming Irelia]], [[{{Cyberpunk}} PROJECT: Irelia]], [[GoldenSuperMode Prestige PROJECT: Irelia]], [[WeirdWest High Noon Irelia]], [[ThePaladin Sentinel Irelia]], and [[{{Wutai}} Mythmaker Irelia]].\\

!!Jarvan Lightshield IV

* ShipTease: Has some in her specific taunts for [[OldFlame Gangplank]] (whom she refers to as "love") and [[RatedMForManly Braum]] (she wonders if he has stamina).

* RatedMForManly: His weapon is an impressively-serrated lance, [[BlingOfWar his armor bling-blinging]], he can hookshot onto his flag, he killed a dragon, his ultimate's impact ''creates a ring-shaped wall around the impact'', and he speaks in grandiose assurance of brotherhood, steadfastness, nationality or to be NotAfraidToDie. Like his fellow fount of testosterone Pan-''Er'', '''Man'''theon, he has received the nickname Jar'''man''' amongst players.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She's a wind spirit who doesn't even touch the ground, so it makes sense that she doesn't feel the need to wear shoes.

In season 3 of Teamfight Tactics, Irelia is a 4 cost Cybernetic Mana-Reaver Blademaster. With her ''Bladesurge'' ability, she darts to a champion, dealing a percentage of her Attack Damage as she passes through. If this kills the target, she casts again immediately at the enemy with the highest mana. She returned in her Divine Sword skin as a 3-cost Divine Enlightened Adept. Her new ability, ''Bladestorm'', sends forth a volley of blades that damages and disarms all enemies they hit for a few seconds. She was initially removed in season 5, but returns in the ''Dawn of Heroes'' mid-set update using her Sentinel Irelia skin as a Tier 2 Sentinel Legionnaire Skirmisher. Her new ability, ''Defiant Dance'', grants Irelia damage reduction for a few seconds that increases further whenever she uses a basic attack, striking her target for magic damage when the effect expires. She was initially removed in season 6, but returns in the ''Neon Nights'' mid-set update using her Aviator Irelia skin as a Tier 4 Scrap Striker. ''Bladesurge'' returns as her ability, though recasts on killing blows instead target the enemy with lowest health rather than the highest mana.\\

In season 3 of Teamfight Tactics, Jarvan is a 1 cost Dark Star Protector. With his ''Ageless Standard'' ability, he calls down a flag which grants nearby allies an attack speed bonus for 6 seconds. In season 4, he's rebuilt as a tier 2 Warlord Keeper in his Warlord Kingdoms skin, using his ''Dragon Strike'' ability to dash through multiple enemies, damaging, knocking up and stunning them. He was removed in season 5, returning to his season 3 ability in season 6's ''Neon Nights'' mid-set update using his Hextech Jarvan IV skin as a Tier 1 Hextech Striker.\\

In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Jayce is a Tier 2 Hextech Shapeshiter. His ''Mercury Cannon'' ability damages and knocks back nearby enemy, then transforms his weapon into its ranged form, granting him temporary attack speed boost. He was removed in season 2. He returns in season 3 as a 3 cost Space Pirate Vangaurd bearing his ''To The Skies!'' ability, which deals magic damage to nearby enemies. He was removed in season 4, returning in season 6 using his Arcane Jayce skin as a Tier 5 Enforcer Innovator Transformer. His Transformer class is a trait unique to him that allows him to change between two forms with different attributes and abilities during the planning phase depending on which row he is placed on. When placed on the front two rows, Jayce assumes his melee form and passively has increased armor and magic resistance. His ability in this form is ''To The Skies!'', which gives Jayce a shield and crowd control immunity as he swings his hammer twice in a cone before slamming down in a 2-hex radius around his target, each attack dealing bonus percent attack damage with the final slam also reducing the armor and magic resistance of affected enemies. When placed on the back two rows, Jayce assumes his ranged form and passively has increased attack damage. In this form, his ability is ''Shock Blast'', which grants bonus attack speed to all allies in the same row and empowers Jayce's next three basic attacks to deal bonus percent attack damage in an area around his target, with the third attack having a larger area of effect. He was initially removed in season 7, but returns in the ''Uncharted Realms'' mid-set update using his Jayce Brighthammer skin as a Tier 4 Guild Shapeshifter, his unique Guild bonus granting his team bonus attack damage and ability power. His ability was changed to ''Mercurial Justice'', which has Jayce transform his weapon into its melee form as he leaps towards his target and slams the ground around him, dealing magic damage and knocking up surrounding enemies. After transforming, his ability is replaced with ''Mercurial Judgement'', which calls down lightning on his target dealing magic damage and a reduced amount to other surrounding enemies, while healing Jayce for a flat amount that gains a percentage increase for each enemy hit.\\

* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: Invoked. Seems to have been his opinion of himself before he went past the Great Barrier.

* RankUp: While his character hasn't caught up with the greater ''[=LoL=]'' lore, Jarvan technically became king of Demacia when his father was assassinated during Sylas' rebellion. However, he hasn't been formally coronated yet as questions over whether he's fit to rule are hanging over him.

* AboveGoodAndEvil[=/=]BlueAndOrangeMorality:

* BladeOnAStick: Called a lance, though it looks like an amalgamation of a sword, a spear, a lance and a spinal cord... and doubles as a GrapplingHookGun!

* BladeOnAStick: In the past, Jax used to wield a giant axe-headed pole arm. Nowadays he uses a lamp post.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The catalyst for the Ruination can be traced back to when Illaoi found Gangplank following the events of the ''Burning Tides''. Illaoi tested him and found him worthy, granting him resources to reconquer Bilgewater. Except Gangplank used those resources to travel to the Shadow Isles, where he made a deal with Thresh to resurrect Viego in exchange for taking the city back from Miss Fortune. In the ''Ruined King'' game, Illaoi learns of what Gangplank did and has a lot of regrets over unintentionally putting Bilgewater in danger in the long run.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Illaoi has the lowest voice of any female in League, and as stated, is a ''very'' powerful fighter and dangerous priestess.

* StopHelpingMe: When playing Ivern, be prepared to inform allies that, no, despite being a Jungler you ''don't'' need a leash.

Jarvan's alternate skins include [[TheSquad Commando Jarvan IV]], [[TheDragonslayer Dragon Slayer Jarvan IV]], [[DarkKnight Darkforge Jarvan IV]], Victorious Jarvan IV, [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Warring Kingdoms Jarvan IV]], [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming Fnatic Jarvan IV]] [[PowerOfTheVoid Dark Star Jarvan IV]], [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming SSG Jarvan IV]], [[{{Magitek}} Hextech Jarvan IV]], [[BeachEpisode Pool Party Jarvan IV]], Lunar Beast Jarvan IV, [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming Worlds 2021 Jarvan IV]], and Nightbringer Jarvan IV. ''Wild Rift'' exclusively includes Crystal Rose Jarvan IV.\\

* TheMusketeer: His Mercury Hammer also has a cannon form -- the use of both is vital to his playstyle.

* SwissArmyWeapon: Although it only has two forms, his weapon is able to: Discharge lightning around him, shoot ball lightning, overcharge its own rate of fire, and create gates that speed up allies.

* TheAtoner: His original backstory had Jarvan leave Demacia to find "atonement", for the perceived failure of getting himself captured and his forces being defeated. In the current lore, he resisted returning to Demacia before he and Shyvana deafeated Yvva due to his shame at having led his forces into an ambush far behind enemy lines.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: ''The Mageseeker'' emphasizes the stress and grief Jarvan IV is going through due to the Mageseekers' pressure to put down the mages of Demacia, and struggling with [[ToughLeaderFacade his desire to appear to be a strong king]] conflicting with his love for Shyvana and compassion for the mages as a whole.]]

* ArtEvolution: For a long time, Jax's auto attack animations like most outdated champions were a bit clunky; this has changed as of 7.10 for more responsive up-to-date animations.

* CostumeEvolution: ''[=LoR=]'' takes some notable liberties with his classic outfit; not only is his mask more ornate than before, but he also [[SleevesAreForWimps ditches his sleeves]] to show off some huge biceps, and is adorned with several pieces of leather and gold armor for protection. Not to mention the puffy fur collar for traveling.

* KarmaHoudini: Despite authorizing a ''[[FinalSolution genocide]]'' against mages, Jarvan remains on the throne. He rolls the authorization back following his HeelRealization, but that doesn't change the countless people harmed and killed by his decree in the meantime, and this trope is the reason why Sylas continues to fight against the Demacian nobility in the present day: As long as Jarvan is on the throne surrounded by his nobility, mages won't be safe - it needs new rulers for that to become a reality.

He rolls the authorization back following his HeelRealization, but that doesn't change the countless people harmed and killed by his decree in the meantime, and this trope is the reason why Sylas continues to fight against the Demacian nobility in the present day: As long as Jarvan is on the throne surrounded by his mobility, mages won't be safe - it needs new rulers for that to become a reality.

* JackOfAllStats: Jarvan has decent built-in toughness, damage, and utility, giving him flexible build options for damage and tankiness. Like Lee Sin, he can be played in top lane, jungle, or even as an unconventional support (and mid lane Jarvan isn't impossible either).
