!!!'''Voiced by:''' "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/8una0m/were_the_team_that_updated_aatrox_ask_us_anything/e1gqsvi/?context=3 Ramon]]" (English/Current), Erik Ireland (English/Pre-VGU), Jorge García Insúa (European Spanish), Emilio Sabini (Mexican Spanish), Creator/IsshinChiba (Japanese)

->''“I must destroy even hope…”''

Once honored defenders of Shurima against the Void, Aatrox and his brethren would eventually become an even greater threat to Runeterra, and were defeated only by cunning mortal sorcery. But after centuries of imprisonment, Aatrox was the first to find freedom once more, corrupting and transforming those foolish enough to try and wield the magical weapon that contained his essence. Now, with stolen flesh, he walks Runeterra in a brutal approximation of his previous form, seeking an apocalyptic and long overdue vengeance.\\
\\
Aatrox is a Juggernaut champion who relies on his strong self-sustain to keep him alive in the middle of the fray as he ruthlessly butchers one enemy after another.
* His passive, ''Deathbringer Stance'', periodically makes his next basic attack deal bonus damage and heal Aatrox based on the target's max health. The cooldown of this effect is reduced whenever Aatrox damages an enemy champion or monster.
* With his first ability, ''The Darkin Blade'', Aatroxs attacks with his greatsword up to three times in a row; he first smashes it down in a straight line, then swings it in a wide arc, and finally slams it on the ground, damaging enemies it hits. Hits with the edge of the blade deal bonus damage, briefly knock up enemies and further reduce the cooldown of his ''Deathbringer Stance'' passive.
* His second ability, ''Infernal Chains'', sends out a shockwave in a target direction that damages and briefly slows the first enemy it hits. Enemy champions and monsters hit are chained to the impact point, being damaged again and yanked back to it if they don't run away from the area quickly enough.
* His third ability, ''Umbral Dash'', passively heals Aatrox for a percentage of damage dealt to enemy champions. When activated, Aatrox dashes a short distance in a target direction.
* With his ultimate ability, ''World Ender'', Aatrox temporarily unleashes his true demonic form, fearing nearby minions and gaining a movement speed boost. While in this state, Aatrox gains bonus attack damage and increased healing, and can extend the duration of the transformation by killing enemy champions.
\\
Aatrox's alternate skins include [[LightEmUp Justicar Aatrox]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/c/c4/Aatrox_JusticarLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170308191820 🔗]]), [[HumongousMecha Mecha Aatrox]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/e6/Aatrox_MechaLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160516001854 🔗]]), [[FishPeople Sea Hunter Aatrox]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/12/Aatrox_SeaHunterLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160523235950 🔗]]) [[{{Lunacy}} Blood Moon Aatrox]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/90/Aatrox_BloodMoonSkin.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20181204211951 🔗]], and Victorious Aatrox.\\
\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Aatrox is a tier 3 Demon Blademaster. His ability, ''The Darkin Blade'', has him slam his sword into the ground, dealing damage to all enemies in a circle-shaped area. In season 2 his skin was changed to Justicar Aatrox, but he otherwise remained mostly unchanged apart from his origin changing to Light and his ability being renamed ''The Arclight Blade''.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: Had his sword arm lopped off during his rematch with Pantheon. He replaced it with some form of primitive prosthesis.
* AndIMustScream: Even after possessing a body, Aatrox still feels trapped; He sees his new flesh as just a bigger cage.
* ArtEvolution: Aatrox was originally slated for just a gameplay update in 2018 to fix his in-game kit, but at some point during development, [[https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2018/04/champion-roadmap-april-2018/ the devs felt his then-current design wasn't working to communicate his new power and weight]], leading them to go the full visual/gameplay update, with new visuals, voiceover, and artwork.
* AttackAttackAttack: He has a very aggressive kit, and is in many situations better off forcing a fight with his lane opponent than just trying to poke them.
* AxCrazy: Inevitable when you mix BloodKnight and OmnicidalManiac into one package.
* BackFromTheDead: Part of his former passive (pre-rework) and former ultimate (pre-v9.14), which gradually builds up health and revives him with the total stored amount once his HP hits zero.
* BadassBoast: He has several spectacular ones while challenging various enemies:
--> ''(against Ornn)'' "Hail, Father Ornn, god of fire and forge... ''(laughs)'' I am Aatrox, and ''I am [[KillTheGod The God Killer!]]''"\\
''(against Sion)'' "Yes, Sion! I kill even that which will not die! ''[[OmnicidalManiac I end all things]]!''"\\
''(killing any champion)'' "[[DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist Resurrect! Return!]] So I may kill you again..."
* BerserkButton: Zoe. The previous Aspect of Twilight gave mortals the secret to locking him away. His lines directed at her are delivered with a frothing rage.
-->'''Aatrox''' I know it was you, trickster! You gave them the tools to trap me! Come, let me kill you! A thousand times isn't enough!
* {{BFS}}: Aatrox was bound to one, but is so far the only Darkin to have completely possessed a host body, allowing him to directly wield the blade himself.
* BigRedDevil: Just ''look'' at him!
* BloodKnight: Aatrox's entire purpose is to live for violence, and indeed, ''[[OmnicidalManiac obliterate the world]].'' Many of his reactions to champions he's about to fight are very much along the lines of "[[BringIt Come! Fight!]]"
* BloodMagic: Runeterran blood magic originates from the Darkin, and Aatrox relies a lot on lifesteal while in combat.
* BringIt: Aatrox has many interactions upon first encountering many specific champions up-front, and his immediate instinct is to challenge ''all of them'', to a point where "Come!" is something of his CatchPhrase.
--> ''(encountering [[OurGargoylesRock Galio]])'' "A statue!? Rock shatters as easily as bone! ''Come!''"
* CombatAestheticist: Played in different ways before and after his VGU.
** On initial release, this aspect was central to his character, with him seeing war as artform that he would lead, with a [[PrettyBoy much more slender]] and [[DissonantSerenity serene]] design to emphasize his grace in combat.
** In his current design, while his graceful warlord concept was phased out in favor of a more straightforward [[OmnicidalManiac maniacal]] BloodKnight design, his combat is still surprisingly elegant, wielding his sword [[ShownTheirWork with actual]] [[http://www.thearma.org/essays/StancesIntro.htm traditional medieval longsword stances]] [[SpectacularSpinning mixed in with a ton of spinning]] for a graceful yet destructive combination.
* {{Combos}}: ''The Darkin Blade'' is a natural mix of attacks that encourage Aatrox to fight at a variety of ranges, starting from some distance and closing in with each strike. ''Umbral Dash'' can be used mid-Darkin Blade to reposition the sweetspot, which is an essential technique to hit smarter opponents.
* CoolSword: A giant [[LivingWeapon pulsating]] one. It also becomes a cool HardLight[=/=]HotBlade in his Mecha skin.
* DarkIsEvil: While prior to his VGU, he had shades of motivational [[AntiVillain anti-villainy]] that made things a little blurry between this and DarkIsNotEvil, post-VGU makes him to be a ([[FallenHero presently]]) completely unambiguous ''monster''.
* DarkerAndEdgier: When compared to before his VGU, [[ZigZaggingTrope he's both this]] ''[[InvertedTrope and]]'' LighterAndSofter. On one hand, he's far more [[OmnicidalManiac brutal and apocalyptic]], and when serious, much more horrifying than the [[WarriorPoet poetic]] [[DissonantSerenity serenity]] of his previous incarnation. However, [[ComedicSociopathy he also has]] [[DeadpanSnarker a much more pronounced]] [[YouFightLikeACow sense of humor]] that his previous version completely lacked, giving him [[LaughablyEvil a slight comical edge to balance out his increased villainy]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Post-VGU!Aatrox can be very, ''very'', sassy, especially in his taunts.
--> ''(when player reveals mastery)'' "Mastery? I must congratulate you; obviously your parents never had reason to."
* DraconicHumanoid: Giant wings, claws, spines, hints of scale...
* EvilIsHammy: An omnicidal wacko, whose quietest lines are still delivered loudly.
* FallenHero: Aatrox and the Darkin were originally [[PhysicalGod the Ascended]] of ancient Shurima and served as ''defenders'' of the world from the Void, but following the demise of the empire, they began to clash with one another, eventually becoming an even bigger threat to the mortals that the Targonians had to seal away into [[SealedEvilInACan weapons they would become eternally trapped in]]. Having finally returned, Aatrox intends to exact apocalyptic levels of vengeance on the world that cast him away.
--> ''"Once in noble battle, I screamed against the silence. I stood as light against the darkness. Now I serve a new master, oblivion..."''\\
''"I have no goodness left, it was taken from me, stolen! I... am the nemesis of life."''
* GrandTheftMe: Aatrox was originally [[LivingWeapon a Darkin bound to a cursed weapon]], but unlike Rhaast who has the ''possibility'' of being able to [[TheCorruption overpower and take over Kayn's body]], Aatrox is much more successful at "stealing flesh" from hapless mortals and has [[BodySurf been through several bodies over the years]]. Currently, Jax and Tryndamere are in his periphery of potentially worthy hosts.
* GroundShatteringLanding: All swings of ''The Darkin Blade'' are violent swings capable of mighty damage and knockup, with his third especially severe in both departments.
* HiddenDepths: In his more serious lines, Aatrox reveals that he's very aware of what he's become. However, he believes he can't do anything about it except [[ThenLetMeBeEvil be the monster the world sees him as]] even if it means destroying everything.
* HumongousMecha: His Mecha Aatrox skin shows it being built with Super Galaxy Rumble in the foreground, and it is suitably large.
* IAmAMonster: While Aatrox is [[ObviouslyEvil an undoubtedly destructive and unholy abomination]], he has several lines reflecting on his nature, [[HiddenDepths showing he's much less than happy about what he's become]].
--> ''"I am but an unholy copy of life... A mockery of its freedom... [[FallenHero And born in the cruel betrayal of the noble ideals I would've served.]]"''\\
''"I touched the stars... And saw the glorious light of a thousand suns... Now, blinded by this elegance, how could my purpose be anything... but dark..."''\\
''"They will call me villain... Come, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil let me earn their hatred, again and forever.]]"''
* ICanStillFight: Aatrox is very resilient in a straight-up fight due to his passive global lifesteal, and ''World Ender'' can boost it even further. As such, confident Aatrox players may choose to duke it out in a situation where anyone else would be running for their lives.
* KillTheGod: [[OmnicidalManiac Of all the things he plans on killing]], he's ''really'' driven to kill the various gods of Runeterra, seemingly out of {{revenge}} and spite for the "false" hope they pose to mortals, being a deity cast away by mortals himself. As of Pantheon's 2019 update, Aatrox has been confirmed to have successfully killed the Targonian Aspect of War in a straight fight, so not only does he want to do this, ''he's capable of doing it.''
--> ''"They sing of love, hope and gods, all that makes them want to live! So I will quiet that first!"''
* LargeHam: Aatrox makes his violent presence very clear with his post-VGU voiceover. A little ironic, considering that prior to his update, Aatrox was [[TranquilFury clearly furious and brutal]], [[DissonantSerenity but smooth and serene]].
* LaughablyEvil: In a similar vein to Rhaast, Aatrox has his own brand of [[ComedicSociopathy surprisingly silly and even immature humor]], made even more hilarious due to being put next to his [[BloodKnight very obvious bloodlust]].
-->''(encountering Camille)'' "Scissors for legs... okay... I thought I had seen stupid designs before... alright, let's go."\\
''(encountering Kayn and Rhaast)'' "Ooh, a shadow warrior! [[IResembleThatRemark How edgy]]!"\\
''(encountering [[ShockAndAwe Kennen]])'' "A lightning squirrel!? ''(laughs uproariously)'' Thank you! Your death will amuse me!"\\
''(encountering Taric)'' "Hail Taric! Aspect of... ''[[YouFightLikeACow get a haircut]]''!"
* LivingWeapon: Aatrox was originally just the sword, but unlike similar Darkin Rhaast, he successfully corrupted [[GrandTheftMe and took over a host body]]. Just to really play into the trope, the blade itself is constantly pulsing like a beating heart.
--> ''"So uh, I'm Aatrox. I'm a transcendental being trapped inside cutlery. What's your deal?"''
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: If his name sounding like "atrocity" doesn't give you pause, it's also a second letter-A away from the much earlier Latin "atrox," meaning such [[SarcasmMode delightful things]] as "fierce", "savage", "cruel", and "bloody".
* OmnicidalManiac: Hellbent on destroying ''all'' of Runeterra and beyond. Even the various {{Physical God}}s and [[EldritchAbomination The]] [[EldritchLocation Void]] aren't safe from his wrath.
* OneHandedZweihander: Prior to his VGU, Aatrox almost always swung his sword one-handed. After the update, he's become more inclined to [[SubvertedTrope properly wield it double-handed]] like an actual longsword... [[DoubleSubversion until he breaks out]] ''[[SuperMode World Ender]]'', where he swings it one-handed again.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: While Darkin aren't considered to be the same ''thing'' as demons like Evelynn or Tahm Kench, their status as, effectively, fallen angels, and [[BigRedDevil Aatrox's appearance]] make them a demonic archetype, at least.
* PrecisionFStrike: On the PBE at least, Aatrox gains this doozy of a line while taunting a Void creature:
--> ''"Do I resemble you, abomination? Your form isn't [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie my destiny]]... is it?'' (lengthy beat) ''You don't know how to talk, do you?'' (beat) ''[[OhCrap Shit...]]"''
* PowerGivesYouWings: A side effect of his ultimate.
* {{Retcon}}: His current, post-VGU character is significantly different from when he was originally launched in 2013, where he was less of an OmnicidalManiac and more of an [[AntiVillain anti-villainously]] [[WarIsGlorious inspiring]] [[TheCorrupter but bloodthirst]]-[[EmotionBomb inducing]] [[DareToBeBadass leader of losing armies]], with the Darkin mythos (including the fact that [[LivingWeapon Aatrox is the]] ''[[LivingWeapon literal]]'' [[LivingWeapon Darkin Blade]]) being far less defined. With his VGU, his character was significantly reworked, and the backstories of both him and the Darkin were greatly expanded.
* RottenRockAndRoll: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml2ffNqIgSM&feature=youtu.be Aatrox's post-VGU theme]] is ''incredibly'' booming and filled with HeavyMetal-inspired guitars and drums, which also show up in-game once he activates ''World Ender''.
* TheSouthpaw: Both before and after his VGU, Aatrox is often depicted as [[ASinisterClue left-handed]], though his in-game depiction suggests he might be ambidextrous. He often holds his sword with both hands, with his stance suggesting he executes his cuts with his left arm with his right for control, but once he goes [[OneHandedZweihander one-handed]] for his ultimate, he carries it in his right hand.
* SatanicArchetype: Aatrox's backstory -- a [[FallenHero fallen hero]] turned into the ultimate adversary of all life -- combined with his [[CulturedWarrior more poetic quotes]] and his appearance as a giant horned monstrosity rebelling against the light cements him as this.
--> ''"I shall '''not''' kiss the ground, nor let myself be wielded as a tool! I am '''damned''', but I will remake this world in '''my''' dark image!"''
* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: He's concluded that his only chance of escape is the death of the entire world, and he is ''entirely willing'' to kill it himself if necessary.
* SuperMode: ''World Ender'' grants Aatrox bonus damage, movement speed, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] [[PowerGivesYouWings giant wings]].
* TurnsRed: Literally when activating his ultimate in his Mecha Skin.
* UnexplainedAccent: Unique even to other Darkin, Aatrox speaks with an inexplicably thick but appropriately brutal German/Russian-inspired accent. Word of God states the accent is meant to represent an incredibly ancient civilization from before time of the game's Ascended champions.
* VillainRespect: A twisted, half-[[SarcasmMode sarcastic]] case regarding [[PhysicalGod various god characters]] such as Targonian Aspects or Anivia, Ornn and Volibear of the Freljord, in that he begins by hailing them before going in with the intention of [[KillTheGod slaughtering them]].
* WarriorPoet: Not as much as his pre-VGU voiceover (who saw battle as more of an art [[CulturedWarrior and even quoted]] ''Literature/DoNotGoGentleIntoThatGoodNight''), but his current character has elements of this, primarily in his more [[HiddenDepths quiet and]] [[IAmAMonster contemplative moments]].
* WasOnceAMan: In his extended lore, it's revealed that he was once a bird-headed Ascended from Shurima.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Aatrox repeatedly implies that his ResurrectiveImmortality [[CursedWithAwesome is not voluntary, and he repeatedly calls it a curse or a trap.]]
* WingedHumanoid: [[PowerGivesYouWings He grows a pair of]] [[GoodWingsEvilWings glowing, demonic wings]] for his ultimate. His current iteration has them resemble almost volcanic bat wings, whereas his pre-VGU appearance made them resemble a pair of tattered war banners.
* WorthyOpponent: Jax. Unlike other champions he has lines for, his interaction with Jax is calling him a worthy vessel.
* YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe: Aatrox is ''[[BloodKnight very]]'' [[BloodKnight much up for a fight]], but at times, he needs a moment to process who his opponents are.
-->''(encountering [[WhenTreesAttack Maokai]])'' "Am I challenged by a tree!? ''({{beat}})'' Fine! Let me build a pyre from you!"\\
''(encountering Quinn)'' "A bird? You would challenge me with a bird?! ''(laughs)'' Come!"\\
''(killing Kled)'' "What is property!? Why did this dead hamster want me off of it!?"
** He's also dumbfounded by Rhaast being a scythe instead of an actual weapon, and he has a few taunts to Kayn about it.
-->''"A scythe? A scythe?! Are you planning on murdering fields of wheat?!"''
-->''"I chose a sword, the noblest weapon, Rhaast. You... seriously, I don't understand, were you trapped in the gardening section?"''
** He's not exactly happy with Varus's breaking of the naming convention either.
-->''"We all agreed on the double 'A' thing, Varus. The double 'A' thing!"''
-->''"Varus, 'V' 'A' 'R' 'U' 'S', your name should have an 'A' and then another 'A', Varus. There was a memo, Varus, there was a memo!"''

[[folder:Ahri, the Nine-Tailed Fox]]
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ahri_originalloading10.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[-[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/5e/Ahri_Select.ogg Don't you trust me?]]-] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LauraPost (English), Inés Blázquez (European Spanish), Ana de Castro (European Spanish/Star Guardian Skin), Rommy Mendoza (Mexican Spanish/1st voice), Annie Rojas (Mexican Spanish/Current voice), Creator/AmiKoshimizu (Japanese)

->''"Human emotions can be even more volatile than the deepest magic.”''

Innately connected to the latent power of Runeterra, Ahri is a vastaya who can reshape magic into orbs of raw energy. She revels in toying with her prey by manipulating their emotions before devouring their life essence. Despite her predatory nature, Ahri retains a sense of empathy as she receives flashes of memory from each soul she consumes.\\
\\
Ahri is a Burst Mage champion who uses her high mobility to dance around her opponents, drawing out key targets and diving in for the kill before retreating back to safety.
* Her passive, ''Vastayan Grace'', grants Ahri a short burst of movement speed whenever she hits an enemy champion twice with her abilities in quick succession.
* Her first ability, ''Orb of Deception'', sends out a magic orb in a target direction and then pulls it back, dealing magic damage on the way out and true damage on the way back. Ahri also gains ''Essence Theft'' stacks whenever she hits an enemy with her abilities, up to three per ability. Upon reaching nine stacks, her next ''Orb of Deception'' will heal her for each enemy it hits.
* Her second ability, ''Fox Fire'', summons three spirit flames that orbit Ahri for a few seconds. After a small delay, each flame locks onto and fires at the closest enemy target, damaging them.
* With her third ability, ''Charm'', Ahri blows a kiss in a target direction, damaging and briefly charming the first enemy hit, forcing them to harmlessly walk towards Ahri while increasing all her magic damage against them.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Spirit Rush'', Ahri dashes a short distance in a target direction up to three times in a row, each dash releasing three bolts of energy that damage the three closest enemies.
\\
Ahri's alternate skins include [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/b2/Ahri_DynastyLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160325210501 Dynasty Ahri]], [[PaintItBlack Midnight]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/de/Ahri_MidnightLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160325210529 Ahri]], [[PlayingWithFire Foxfire]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/1b/Ahri_FoxfireLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160515232618 Ahri]], [[IdolSinger Popstar]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/72/Ahri_PopstarLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160515233004 Ahri]], [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming Challenger]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/2/20/Ahri_ChallengerLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160515232914 Ahri]], [[{{Joshikousei}} Academy]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/89/Ahri_AcademyLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524000028 Ahri]], [[RetroGaming Arcade]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/99/Ahri_ArcadeLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170221050655 Ahri]], [[MagicalGirl Star Guardian]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/7b/Ahri_StarGuardianLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170819004654 Ahri]], [[IdolSinger K/DA]] [[GirlGroup Ahri]], and Elderwood Ahri.\\
\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Ahri is a Tier 2 Wild Sorcerer. Her ability, ''Orb of Deception'', fires her orb in a straight line and calls it back, damaging enemies on both passes. She was removed in season 2.
----
* AddictiveMagic: As her essence draining powers give her flashes of the victims memories in addition to magic power, she became addicted to draining people for both. However, when the memories started including visions of people viewing or speaking of her as a nine-tailed fox demon, and her addiction started running out of control, to the point where she drained an entire village she became disgusted with herself, and tries to break or control her addiction.
* AlphaBitch: Her Star Guardian skin turns her into a complete mean girl.
* AscendedMeme: Popstar Ahri started out as a heavily-supported request for a Music/GirlsGeneration Ahri skin, although [[http://oce.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/styles/scale_xlarge/public/upload/pahri-articlebanner.jpg?itok=Zpnh_w0f the end result]] was somewhat different from [[http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/131/5/f/girls_generation_ahri_by_dumke-d64v9la.png the originally suggested design]] (this was eventually [[https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WBQG94hD_HE/WHV4ZqTUx7I/AAAAAAAAbuM/-HjOSN6KCbo5VjROIK4JlJFA_YlqqFF9wCLcB/s1600/ahri5%2B-%2BCopy.jpg rectified]] with the release of a skin chroma).
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The short story [[https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3vjf03/ahri_lore_stray_fox/ 'Stray Fox']] shows exactly how dangerous Ahri can be when provoked, as she mercilessly slaughters a squad of Noxian scouts when they shoot at her in a ''shocking'' display of brutality. Contrary to her portrayal as TheAtoner, she's even still perfectly willing to drain the essence from those who make themselves her enemies.
-->''Ahri had no qualms about gaining her humanity by taking it from men who had no use for it.''
* CategoryTraitor: Called one by Xayah, who seems to think she's trying to become human. She ''was'', in her old lore, but in that lore she was a literal fox who gained human form, not a Vastaya.
* CharmPerson: Her unique form of crowd control.
* CunningLikeAFox: Clever enough to figure out how to use her charms and her human appearance to lure in men and steal their essence.
* DifficultButAwesome: Ahri depends heavily on landing her Charm spell to burst down her target or assassinate them, which is a (relatively) slow skillshot that can be blocked by minions and gives a fairly obvious warning. Good Ahri players can keep opponents on their toes by using tricks to unexpectedly Charm them, such as firing an Orb of Deception then a Charm in quick succession to clear the minion(s) shielding her target before the latter lands. That said, once you get used to landing her Charm, Ahri becomes one of the more forgiving mages ''and'' assassins. Her Fox Fire and Charm are effective at punishing enemies for trying to get up close and personal, and her Charm and Spirit Rush are good at easing mistakes her user makes.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Her death cries sound more like... [[OrgasmicCombat something that's not dying]].
* DoubleEntendre: A lot of her vocal quotes are at least partially suggestive. Her attacking quotes, in particular come across as if she's finished "using" her victim and has become bored of them.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Or if they don't, she can [[CharmPerson make them]].
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Her charm spell is just called "''Charm''". [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because it was the ONLY charm spell in the game until the addition of Rakan and his ultimate, ''The Quickness'', a whopping SIX YEARS later. Evelynn later got a charm spell in ''Allure'', but they're still the only three.
* FacialMarkings: The whisker-like marks on her cheeks.
* FantasticFoxes: She was already magical before she absorbed the life force of a dying mage, granting her even more magical ability. Not anymore with the Vastayan lore update, now she's (supposedly) the [[LastOfHisKind last of her kind]] after being abandoned by her tribe and was [[RaisedByWolves adopted by a pack of icefoxes.]]
* FemmeFatale: The straightest example in the game (at least before Evelynn was reworked into [[HornyDevils an actual lust demon]]), although she's trying to reform.
* {{Foil}}:
** To the plant champion, Zyra. The two champions have completely different playstyles. Ahri is the supreme example of a mage ganker, scaling better than Leblanc and not being limited to melee like Kassadin. By comparison, Zyra is the supreme example of a mage pusher, having better utility than the [=AoE=] pushers like Brand while having the ability to place turrets at long range unlike Heimerdinger. Their two stories are almost exactly the same in terms of progression while being utterly opposite in terms of motivation. And finally, they're from opposite ends of the alphabet (before the release of Aatrox, Ahri was the alphabetically first champion on the League roster, while Zyra is the last). Fittingly, the two go head-to-head in the "A New Dawn" cinematic, where Ahri wins.
** To fellow Ionian champion, Syndra. In battle, Syndra controls multiple balls of darkness while Ahri uses a single orb of light. Both of their kits focus a lot on [[RuleOfThree the number three]], and disrupting/manipulating enemies. And to top it off, they both dance to hit K-Pop songs by SNSD. Ironically, the two of them are together on the alternate Star Guardians team.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Who else in the League of Legends would have a [[CharmPerson Charm spell]] and a soul-consuming passive if not TheVamp?
* HeelFaceTurn: Much more explicit in her new lore. After a [[HeelRealization eating an entire village,]] Ahri resolves both to not murder others with her power anymore and to enjoy her own life, not the memories of others.
* HeelRealization: After stealing quite a bit of human essence, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she became human enough to realize that what she had been doing]] [[BlueAndOrangeMorality was wrong]]. The short story [[https://na.merch.riotgames.com/en/ahri-statue#stray-fox 'Stray Fox']] reveals that she's still fine with ''doing'' it, just not with entrapping and murdering innocents. Now she saves the soul-drinking for her enemies.
** In the most recent version of her lore, she gets two MyGodWhatHaveIDone moments. The first is when she discovers through devoured memories that she's regarded as a demon by the people of Ionia, after which she resolves to limit how much essence she takes from her victims. This works until, due to AddictiveMagic, she snaps and [[OhCrap murders an entire village.]] In horror, she [[HeroicBSOD isolates herself in the forest for years to avoid hurting anyone else and learn to control her powers.]]
* HoneyTrap: Well, she had powerful charm magic to help her out, but she invoked this to get unsuspecting men to come close to her.
* HornyDevils: Her pre-rewrite (before vastaya were even a thing) lore and FemmeFatale attitude alluded this being the life-harvesting method she's trying to drop. Subverted in the new lore by 'Stray Fox'- while she ''can'' entrance people and make them desire her with her magic, she doesn't drain their life sexually. Instead she just kills them, clasps their head between her hands while they die, and sucks their essence out through their eyes and mouth as a stream of energy.
* IdolSinger: Ahri has two skins inspired by different [[KoreanPopMusic K-pop varieties]]; Popstar Ahri has a bright and colorful Music/GirlsGeneration-inspired look, while K/DA Ahri is more inspired by [[DarkerAndEdgier dark and edgy]] {{Girl Group}}s like Music/TwoNEOne or Music/BlackPink.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: In 'Stray Fox' she expresses a desire to befriend the villagers of Ionia, which is why she flees when they approach so they don't see her draining the soul from the Noxian soldier whose neck she just snapped.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Shows off her cleavage quite a bit.
* ItsPersonal: Reacts ''very'' angrily when Darius almost kills Leona in ''A New Dawn''. Naturally, she's the one to land the final blow.
* {{Joshikousei}}: Academy Ahri. Actually based on Korean uniforms, but the effect is the same.
* {{Kitsune}}: Although referred to in development as a Gumiho, the Korean equivalent. Hence her vampiric nature.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: A [[FemmeFatale seductive]] and graceful gumiho dressed in a [[MsFanservice revealing outfit]] who can conjure arcane energy orbs and spectral flames to attack. Her voted name ''[[MeaningfulName Ari]]'' (아리) even means "elegant".
* TheLeader: Of the 'good guy' team in ''A New Dawn'' animated short and of the second Star Guardians team.
* LightningBruiser: Between her Charm and the three dashes of her Ultimate, it can be very, very hard to escape a competent Ahri once she's started chasing you down. Her passive makes her a little less squishy than the average mage, too.
* LittleBitBeastly: Has very noticeable whisker marks on her cheeks, as well as the obvious fox ears and tails. As her creation preceded the codification of the Vastaya by many years, this puts her very far on the human-like end of the Vastaya spectrum compared to others like Rengar and Nami, or even Xayah and Rakan.
* MagikarpPower: A lesser example, as Ahri is actually reasonably strong even at low levels, but if she starts to pick up a few kills she can rapidly snowball out of control. Her insane mobility, impressive burst, devastating sustained damage and powerful CC means a fed Ahri can devour ''entire teams''.
* MeaningfulName: A poll was held on the Korean [=LoL=] webpage to decide on her name, choosing from a list of 6 options. The vote eventually went to ''Ari'' (아리) which means "graceful" or "elegant" and it was adapted to "Ahri" for the English release.
* MsFanservice: Between her short skirt, low-cut top and [[LittleBitBeastly kemonomimi]], Ahri immediately shot straight to the top of the "most desirable girls in the League" lists (as confirmed by [[http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2844467 a recent forum poll]]). Which may be somewhat justified, given her nature. To wit, she is ''so attractive'' that the sheer amount of [[DistractedByTheSexy sexiness]] she puts out is a canonically-accepted [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration game mechanic.]] [[UpToEleven Even]] [[CampGay Taric]] and [[EldritchAbomination Void]] [[OmnicidalManiac champions]] [[UpToEleven can find her attractive.]]
* MultipleTailedBeast: Duh, nine of them, it's her ''title''.
* NeckSnap: How she kills the last Noxian scout who attacked her in 'Stray Fox', grabbing him by the neck then snapping his head back with a blast of concussive magic.
* NoblewomansLaugh: Her Star Guardian skin has her laughing this way, all the better for her AlphaBitch presentation.
* OrgasmicCombat: Perhaps not the fighting itself, but [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/2/25/Ahri.dying1.ogg her]] [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/f/f8/Ahri.dying2.ogg death]] [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/d/db/Ahri.dying3.ogg cries]] [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/4/40/Ahri.dying4.ogg all]] deserve special mention. Both her Korean [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ek4MFjz_eM Normal]][[note]]begins around 0:13 seconds in[[/note]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZJhCyNKQOQ Popstar Ahri]][[note]]begins around 0:12 seconds in[[/note]] voice sets make the English version seem conservative in comparison.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: She's essentially an energy vampire.
* PlayingWithFire: They're probably {{Faux Flame}}s, but hell if that matters; they work just fine. Her Foxfire skin also counts as this.
* PrehensileTail: She moves her tails with amazing dexterity on her emotes.
* RuleOfThree: '''Three''' of her skills use this rule. First, ''Orb of Deception'' activates its healing passive after hitting nine enemies, up to a maximum of three per spell cast; in short it takes a minimum of '''three''' spells to activate this skill, or '''3x3'''. Second, Fox-Fire summons '''three''' fireballs around her that will home in to the nearest enemy unit. '''Third''', her ultimate, Spirit Rush, allows her to dash to a target area up to '''three''' times, sending out flares that target up to '''three''' enemy units.
* ScrewDestiny: The [[AlternateUniverse Star Guardian version]] of Ahri seems to consider "fate" an inherently evil force to be fought against, apparently because several of her previous teammates were "fated" to die in battle, with the implication that ALL star guardians are fated to "fade".
* SexIsViolence: She's a deadly mage-assassin reliant on a heart-shaped Charm spell with a seduction-heavy theme and backstory. Even her death cry [[OrgasmicCombat sounds erotic]] and several of her lines are [[DoubleEntendre Double Entendres]] that can be interpreted as either flirting or an implied threat.
-->''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/a/ab/Ahri.taunt.ogg Should I make your pulse rise~? Or... STOP? *giggles*]]''
* SquishyWizard: Zig-zagged. Sure she's frail, but get close to her carelessly and you're only making yourself a huge target of yourself for both her Charm and Fox Fire, assuming she doesn't simply put distance between you and her with her Spirit Rush. Not to mention Orb of Deception gives her some measure of sustainability.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: As can be plainly seen in her character portrait above. Averted in the 'A New Dawn' video where, for whatever reason, she was given OccultBlueEyes instead (although they briefly turn purple when she uses Charm on Darius and Draven).
* TransNature: She was a fox that wanted to become human. Now she's a magical hybrid with the ability to become more and more human. However, her method of doing this involved killing people, and as she became closer to human the morality of this started to bother her, leading to her joining the League to find an alternative method. Retconned in the Vastayan race update, now she always was a Fox/Human hybrid/Shapeshifter that was abandoned by her tribe for some reason.
* TheVamp: She was able to lure men with her beauty and charm to drain their life. One of her skills (Charm) actually uses this. Also works as a {{pun}}. Averted in the present day, though; as her humanity grew, so did her sense of right and wrong. She now better fits the FemmeFatale trope.
* VideogameDashing: Her ultimate. Having a dash ability isn't exactly unheard of in the League of Legends, but Ahri uniquely has up to three in exchange for one spell cooldown.

[[folder:Akali, the Rogue Assassin]]
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akalioriginalloading.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[-"Fear the assassin with no master."-] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by''': Krizia Bajos (English/Current), Creator/LauraBailey (English/Pre-VGU), Inés Blázquez (European Spanish), Norma Echevarría (Mexican Spanish), Creator/RyokoShiraishi (Japanese)

->''"If you look dangerous, you better be dangerous."''

Abandoning the Kinkou Order and her title of the Fist of Shadow, Akali now strikes alone, ready to be the deadly weapon her people need. Though she holds onto all she learned from her master Shen, she has pledged to defend Ionia from its enemies, one kill at a time. Akali may strike in silence, but her message will be heard loud and clear: fear the assassin with no master.\\
\\
Akali is an Assassin champion who employs stealthy hit-and-run tactics to take down her targets while evading retaliation. She uses a fixed Energy meter as a resource instead of mana.
* Her passive, ''Assassin's Mark'', marks enemies damaged by Akali's abilities with a ring around them, granting Akali bonus movement speed when moving away from them. Leaving the ring refreshes the speed bonus when moving towards enemy champions and empowers her next basic attack with bonus range, damage and making it restore some Energy.
* With her first ability, ''Five Point Strike'', Akali throws a flurry of kunai in a target direction, damaging enemies hit and briefly slowing those hit at maximum range. When fully ranked, the ability also deals bonus damage to minions and monsters.
* Her second ability, ''Twilight Shroud'', restores some Energy and grants Akali bonus movement speed, while also summoning a slowly-expanding ring of smoke at a nearby location. While inside the smoke, Akali becomes invisible and untargetable as long as she's not attacking or close to an enemy with True Sight.
* With her third ability, ''Shuriken Flip'', Akali backflips while throwing a shuriken in a target direction, damaging and marking the first enemy it hits; she can also mark the center of the smoke ring from ''Twilight Shroud''. Reactivating the ability will make her dash towards the marked target, damaging them if they're an enemy.
* Her ultimate ability, ''Perfect Execution'', makes Akali dash towards an enemy champion, damaging all enemies in her path. For a few seconds afterwards she is able to execute a second dash in a target direction, dealing damage to all enemies in her path that increases based on their missing health.
\\

\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Akali is a Tier 4 Ninja Assassin. Her ''Five Point Strike'' ability throws kunai in a cone-shaped area, damaging all foes with a chance of dealing a critical hit. She was removed in season 2.
----
* ActionGirl: A deadly ninja warrior, skilled in stealth and assassination.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Infernal Akali's skin is pitch black, making a striking contrast to [[FlamingHair her]] [[GlowingEyes bright]] [[PlayingWithFire everything-else]].
* AntiTrueSight: {{Downplayed|Trope}}; an Akali stealthed in a ''Twilight Shroud'' can still be revealed using true sight (such as from Oracle Lens, or various champion debuffs), but even if she is, she cannot be directly targeted for attack.
* AnimeHair: Akali's ponytail is not only ridiculously spiky, it also spikes ''upwards'' in a complete defiance of gravity.
* ArtEvolution: With her visual-gameplay update in 2018, all her art assets were redone from scratch and brought up to modern standards for the game, with a brand new design, animations, voiceover, and splash arts.
* BadassBack: Her pose in her normal splash art, which also gives an opportunity to show off the elaborate dragon tattoos going across her body.
* BadassNormal: She's been described as not having the direct magical skill of her former Kinkou brethren, but her skill with various weapons made her worthy of carrying the title of "The Fist of Shadow."
* BerserkButton: She apparently has one regarding the cylindrical case she keeps tied to her waist:
-->''(first encountering the enemy)'' "Call it a purse. I dare you."
* BreakingTheFellowship: As of her VGU, Akali became disillusioned with the Kinkou Order's passiveness against the growing threats in Ionia and left to fight her own path as an assassin, ending the PowerTrio with [[TheKirk Shen]] and [[TheMcCoy Kennen]] in the process. However, the ''Zed'' comic shows that even though she left a while ago, she's still willing to work with Shen for a common goal (in this case, hunting down Zed and Jhin) and even still refers to him as "master".
* CoolMask:
** By default, as well as in most of her skins, Akali wears a signature mask that covers her mouth, similar to a surgical mask (her Nurse skin has her wear a proper one).
** She gets an additional one in her Blood Moon Akali skin, but rather than wearing it over her face, she keeps it pushed onto the top of her head.
* DashAttack: ''Shuriken Flip'' and ''Perfect Execution'' give her access to this, all with different, but valuable interactions to them.
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: As shown in the story "The Bow, and The Kunai", Akali felt ignored by the previous Fist Of Shadow (Her mother) who seemed to prioritize her apprentice over her when she was a child. Leading her to recklessly try and prove herself in her eyes.
* DifficultButAwesome: The devs make no secret that she overall has a longer execution time than other assassins, and with [[HitAndRunTactics how her passive works]], her complex kit requires ''a lot'' of quick thinking and decision-making [[GlassCannon to deal the most damage that she can and not die doing so]]. In turn, she has tons of tools at her disposal, as well as the potentially extreme damage her status as an assassin entails.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: An example regarding skins: One of Akali's earliest skins was "[[RedIsViolent Crimson Akali]]," which originally was pretty much just a low-price red PaletteSwap. Following her VGU, it was given an entirely new identity as the now-renamed [[PlayingWithFire Infernal Akali]], giving it much more unique particle and sound effects, on-par with the quality of Epic-tier skins (while still retaining its low pricepoint).
* DualWielding: She wields a large kunai in one hand, a chained kama in the other. Prior to her VGU, she wielded a kama in both hands.
* EpicFlail: Carries a [[ChainPain chained]] [[SinisterScythe kama]]. Exiting the range of an enemy hit with ''Assassin's Mark'' will prompt her to start swinging it around for bonus range and damage on her next auto-attack. If you're an enemy seeing this, watch out.
* FlechetteStorm: Her ''Five Point Strike'' has her do this with kunai in a short arc in front of her, encouraged to be her primary skillshot ability for damage.
* FragileSpeedster: Unusually for an assassin, she requires to stay in the fight for a while to deal her [[GlassCannon extreme damage]], but with her high movement speed, various dashes, and powerful stealth, a skilled player can be able to duck in and out of the fray to make it happen.
* HitAndRunTactics: Much of her post-VGU kit revolves around her ''Assassin's Mark'' interaction, requiring her to rapidly duck in and out of direct combat to make the most of her damage.
* HospitalHottie: Nurse Akali. Before her visual update, it was originally just a lighthearted {{Fanservice}} outfit[[note]]Its very existence can be directly attributed to [[http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=143181 fan request]][[/note]], but [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/3/38/Akali_NurseSkin.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180716190108 her post-VGU splash art]] implies [[DeadlyDoctor a much more sinister reason for being around the operating room]].
* LegacyCharacter: Ever since she completed her training from the Kinkou at 14, she inherited her mother's title as the Fist of Shadow.
* MidBattleTeaBreak: It mostly depends on when you use it, but her in-game joke animation has her pulling out and enjoying a bowl of ramen. [[FoodEnd The ending of her]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCQMIZkevBc teaser video]] features her doing this as she's surrounded by the bodies of the enemies she just killed.
* {{Ninja}}: She might not be a member of the Kinkou Order anymore, but she's still ''very'' much a ninja, and an appropriately agile and stealthy one at that.
* NinjaRun: Her "speed-boosted" animation has her do this. She also does a much nimbler, faster version of this during the "dashing" portion of her ''Shuriken Flip''.
* PetTheDog: She might have left the Kinkou and is in a disagreement with Shen's teachings, but she's still willing to cooperate with them as ultimately, both share similar goals in wanting to maintain peace in Ionia. She still refers to Shen as ''a'' master, and she also has a soft spot for Kennen.
* PlayingWithFire: Infernal Akali gives her a fiery makeover, complete with new sounds and blazing particle effects.
* PragmaticHero: How she views herself, at least. The increasing splintering of Ionia following Zed's coup and the Noxian invasion led her on a path of wanting to directly fight its enemies, something that [[TheFettered Shen and the rest of the Kinkou Order]] would not allow. She [[WhatTheHellHero called them out for their idleness]] and left to fight her own way, and since she was trained to be an assassin, she would ''be'' an assassin.
* {{Retcon}}: Surprisingly for a full visual-gameplay relaunch, this is mostly {{subverted|Trope}} for Akali. Much of the basics of her previous lore are still intact, with her post-update lore being less of a rewrite and more of an expansion and direct continuation, taking previously unrecognized factors like Zed's coup against the old Kinkou Order into account, and skipping a little further in time for a different setup where she's no longer part of the Kinkou.
* {{Sampling}}: As [[KoreanPopMusic K/DA]] [[IdolSinger Akali]], slamming down a ''Twilight Shroud'' causes a brief musical sting to play, which is taken from the very start of Music/{{TWICE}}'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_RLMDZsuI4 I'm Gonna Be a Star]]".
* SelfDeprecation: A meta example: Akali's rework was designed by champion designer [=CertainlyT=], and she has a taunt to Zoe, another one of his champions, which seems to be a nod to her [[BaseBreakingCharacter contentious reputation among fans]][[invoked]]:
-->'''Akali''': You know, we've never met, but you seem really annoying.
* ShipTease: She openly remarks both in an in-game taunt as well as in issue 3 of the ''Zed'' comic that she has the hots for ''Kayn'' of all people, although she's turned off by the fact that he's... well...
-->'''Akali''': It's your eyes.\\
'''Kayn''': What?\\
'''Akali''': I mean, I hate admitting it, but [[WalkingShirtlessScene the abs and shirtless thing]] actually works for me, but those eyes...? ''[[AxCrazy Crazy]]''. You're hot. [[AxCrazy But crazy.]]
* SinisterScythe: One of her weapons is a smaller variant called a kama, which she [[EpicFlail swings around]] on a chain as part of her ''Assassin's Mark'' interaction.
* SmokeOut: Her ''Twilight Shroud'', a thrown-down smoke bomb that has always existed in some capacity before and after her VGU. Its current iteration creates a cloud of smoke that slowly expands into a ring, stealthing her should she remain in it until she attacks. Her default recall animation is also presented as this.
* TheSpock: In the ([[BreakingTheFellowship now mostly-nominal]]) PowerTrio between [[TheKirk Shen]] and [[TheMcCoy Kennen]], Akali serves as this. While Kennen operates off his own, idealistic moral compass, and Shen operates based on holistic order and equilibrium, Akali is greatly devoted to problem-solving, targeting Ionia's threats and eliminating them, with the reason for why she left the Kinkou being that they prevented her from doing any work she believed needed to be done.
* StealthExpert: Her ''Twilight Shroud'' gives her access to a unique type of stealth where even if she's revealed, as long as she's in the smoke, nothing can target her[[note]]That's not to say she can't be damaged; should a targeted ability or uninterruptible auto-attack be cast on Akali right before she enters stealth, it'll still go through and hit her, and she'll still be vulnerable to skillshots or abilities targeted at a general AreaOfEffect[[/note]]. Rather infamously, she initially also had the ability to completely avoid ''turrets'' while shrouded, but this proved to be such a balance headache that it was removed.
* StockNinjaWeaponry: Akali has perhaps the most versatile arsenal of all the ninja champions. She's primarily seen wielding a large kunai and kama, and she has smaller kunai, shuriken, and smoke bombs at her disposal for abilities.
* TheUnfettered: She eventually became this, and left the [[TheFettered Kinkou Order]] after coming to the conclusion that their practice of restraint in an increasingly splintered Ionia was allowing more harm than good, deciding to carve her own path as an active assassin of their adversaries.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: ''Shuriken Flip'' has her do a backflip before she tosses out her shuriken. The backwards movement itself is useful for creating distance and is conveniently enough to cross her ''Assassin's Mark'' circle if her shuriken lands, but she probably could've picked something less disorienting.

[[folder:Alistar, the Minotaur]]
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alistar_originalloading.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[-[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/6/62/Alistar_Select.ogg Nothing can hold me back!]]-] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by''': Harlan Hogan (English), Antonio Esquivias (European Spanish), Enrique Cervantes (Mexican Spanish), Creator/TakuyaEguchi (Japanese)

Always a mighty warrior with a fearsome reputation, Alistar seeks revenge for the death of his clan at the hands of the Noxian empire. Though he was enslaved and forced into the life of a gladiator, his unbreakable will was what kept him from truly becoming a beast. Now, free of the chains of his former masters, he fights in the name of the downtrodden and the disadvantaged, his rage as much a weapon as his horns, hooves and fists.\\
\\
Alistar is a Vanguard champion who uses crowd control to protect his allies and disrupt his enemies while stubbornly enduring all punishment thrown his way.
* His passive, ''Triumphant Roar'', stacks up whenever Alistar afflicts an enemy champion with crowd control or a nearby minion dies. Upon reaching seven stacks, Alistar roars, healing himself and nearby allied champions. If a nearby enemy champion dies, Alistar roars immediately.
* With his first ability, ''Pulverize'', Alistar slams the ground beneath him, damaging and knocking up nearby enemies.
* His second ability, ''Headbutt'', makes Alistar charge at a nearby enemy, damaging and knocking them back.
* With his third ability, ''Trample'', Alistar stampedes for a few seconds, allowing him to move through units and constantly damaging nearby foes. Damaging an enemy champion with this ability grants Alistar a stack, with his next basic attack dealing bonus damage and briefly stunning the target after reaching five stacks.
* His ultimate ability, ''Unbreakable Will'', frees Alistar of any crowd control effects affecting him when activated, and massively reduces all incoming damage for a few seconds afterwards.
\\
Alistar's alternate skins include [[PaintItBlack Black]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/6/67/Alistar_BlackLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170908194130 Alistar]], [[GoldColoredSuperiority Golden]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/5f/Alistar_GoldenLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160516002359 Alistar]], [[TorosYFlamenco Matador]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/f3/Alistar_MatadorLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170908194210 Alistar]], [[{{Cowboy}} Longhorn]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/2/24/Alistar_LonghornLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170908194152 Alistar]], [[BerserkerRage Unchained]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a3/Alistar_UnchainedLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160523233425 Alistar]], [[BigRedDevil Infernal]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/51/Alistar_InfernalLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160523233127 Alistar]], [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball Sweeper]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/08/Alistar_SweeperLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160515234656 Alistar]], [[BloodKnight Marauder]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/4/4c/Alistar_MarauderLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160523233208 Alistar]], [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming SKT T1]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/58/Alistar_SKTT1Loading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160725202334 Alistar]], [[EverythingsBetterWithCows Moo Cow]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/1c/Alistar_MooCowLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170308203523 Alistar]], [[{{Magitek}} Hextech Alistar]], Conqueror Alistar, and [[AnIcePerson Blackfrost Alistar]].
----
* ALoadOfBull: He's a minotaur.
* BreakingTheBonds: His ultimate breaks him out of crowd control effects, alluding to this trope's role in Alistar's backstory.
* ChainPain: Half of his autoattacks are GoodOldFisticuffs, while in the other half he lashes the target with the chains still dangling from his wrists.
* ChainedByFashion: Still wears his shackles and the bits of chain that remain on them.
* CombatMedic: Not as much as dedicated healers, but Alistair's Triumphant Roar heals both himself and the closest allied champion whenever he applies enough crowd control or an enemy champion dies. An Alistair in the middle of a fight could easily throw several roars in succession, giving his team a much needed boost in HP.
* {{Determinator}}: Go ahead and throw several stuns and snares at an Alistar that charges into your team, he'll just power through it with his ultimate and become even harder to kill.
* DifficultButAwesome: Alistar's standard combo is to Pulverize a foe into the air, walk up behind them, then Headbutt in a direction of his choice. Effective, yet requires him to get very close to foes, and smart enemies will stay the hell away from you. However, since Headbutt can start from a decent distance from the victim, a Headbutt THEN Pulverize combo effectively closes the gap and still knocks foes up[[note]]To elaborate, the Knock''up'' from Pulverize cancels out the Knock''back'' from Headbutt, holding them in place. The tricky part is getting it off before your victim gets thrown out of range.[[/note]]. This particular combo requires very fast reflexes and some practice to execute consistently, but it can make his CC usable in many, many more situations.
** Additionally, an Alistar needs to be able to make split-second judgment calls on whether to Headbutt or not and if so in which direction. Knocking foes away can ruin a kill for teammates OR save their lives while knocking foes toward teammates can either secure kills for them or screw them over. It can be tough to differentiate between situations; those who cannot [[TheLoad bog their team down]] and those who can are invaluable assets.
** [[SubvertedTrope As of patch 6.3, however,]] the Headbutt-Pulverize combo has been made easier to use (specifically making the player able to buffer Pulverize while using Headbutt so that it automatically casts when he collides with the target), allowing it to be used more consistently and reliably.
* DynamicEntry: If you wait for enemies to bunch up together, Headbutt the one in front, then quickly Pulverize to knock them all up, you end up with a weaker Malphite ult that can be potentially executed much more often.
* FoeTossingCharge: One of the most important tactics for this champion is to use the ground-slam to stun an opponent, travel around him, and then use the headbutt to knock him towards your allies. While less absolutely dooming to a single target, one can alternatively Headbutt the leading member of the enemy team, followed by a Pulverize that hopefully works well because you should be somewhere close to the middle of the enemy team now.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Though he's a good guy.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: No weapons, just plain old-fashioned pounding (though the chains on his wrists probably help).
* GroundShatteringLanding: He doesn't even need to jump -- he does this by ''hitting his fists on the ground'', knocking enemies into the air.
* HeroicWillpower: Triumphant Roar heals him and nearby allies because of this. His ultimate, Unbreakable Will, can allow him to shrug off enough damage that he can easily facetank a turret.
** HeroicSecondWind: Unbreakable Will is best used when he's already crowd controlled a bit so it usually turns into this, keeping him going and empowering him after he's taken a decent beating.
%%* NotTheIntendedUse: Ever since preseason 6, changes to gold income items intended for supports have occurred, specifically Frost Queen's Claim, and as a result Alistar playing solo lanes to build up AP damage has steadily grown in popularity. With AP, his infamous Headbutt-Pulverize combo is an ''insane'' gap closer, can do absurd amounts of damage, and since knockups cannot be cleansed, amazingly effective crowd control (made more so with an unrelated buff in 6.3 in making the specific combo less difficult). Plus, Frost Queen's Claim grants him a great slow and gold compensation that can proc from the combo, making it very forgiving.
* PaintItBlack: Black Alistar.
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: He's generally considered an excellent support champion because even if he barely gears towards any damage or tankiness, the usefulness of this ability still makes him far worth it.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Which is kinda funny, [[BullSeeingRed considering how he's a bull]]. [[AvertedTrope He's a morally good character, though]].
* SimpleYetAwesome: Like Blitzcrank and his Rocket Grab, Alistar's Pulverize is a contender for the single strongest basic ability in the game, with [=AoE=] crowd control potential (albeit not damage) on par with Malphite's ''ultimate.'' One well-timed Pulverize in the middle of a clutch teamfight can win an entire game. The rest of his kit is also very simple (he's a CC-bot with some extra healing and tanking abilities, nothing more) but overall he can be one of the most influential champions in the game if played well.
* SuperStrength: Half of his abilities involve shrugging off potentially huge amounts of damage with raw willpower. The other half involves [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom sending enemies flying]].
* TorosYFlamenco: His Matador skin.
* TrampledUnderfoot: Not in the usual sense of the trope, but Alistar's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Trample]], lets him run roughshod over enemies, dealing damage as he goes.
* WalkingTheEarth: Chasing after his female friend.
* TheWildWest: Did you really think they'd pass up a chance to make a Longhorn skin?

->''"Solitude can be lonelier than death."''

Legend claims that Amumu is a lonely and melancholy soul from ancient Shurima, roaming the world in search of a friend. Doomed by an ancient curse to remain alone forever, his touch is death, his affection ruin. Those who claim to have seen him describe a living cadaver, small in stature and wrapped in creeping bandages. Amumu has inspired myths, songs, and folklore told and retold for generations—such that it is impossible to separate truth from fiction.\\
\\
Amumu is a Vanguard champion that is feared for his initiation and ability to disable entire teams at once while unleashing a constant stream of area-of-effect damage.
* His passive, ''Cursed Touch'', causes Amumu's basic attacks to briefly curse his targets, causing them to take bonus true damage equal to a percentage of incoming magic damage.
* With his first ability, ''Bandage Toss'', Amumu hurls one of his bandages in a target direction, damaging and stunning the first enemy it hits while pulling Amumu to their location.
* His second ability, ''Despair'', is a toggled ability that, at the cost of mana-per-second to maintain it, causes Amumu to cry a pool of tears, continuously damaging nearby enemies by a percentage of their max health and refreshing the duration of his passive on them.
* His third ability, ''Tantrum'', passively reduces incoming physical damage. When activated, Amumu releases his anger, damaging nearby foes. Being hit by a basic attack reduces the cooldown of this ability.
* With his ultimate ability, ''Curse of the Sad Mummy'', Amumu entangles all nearby enemies with bandages, dealing damage, applying his passive and briefly preventing them from moving or attacking.
\\

In ''Teamfight Tactics'', Amumu was added in Season 2 as Tier 5 Inferno Warden, using his Infernal Amumu skin. His ability is ''Curse of the Sad Mummy'', which damages and stuns all enemies in a wide area around him.
----
* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: Take a look at the splash art for [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L9GPW81HFJw/TiS4AMQVX-I/AAAAAAAAA04/r0hC8sdcdmM/s1600/SadMummy_Splash_6.jpg his Little Knight skin]]. Pretty depressing and almost cute, right? Now go look at [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/5/5e/Amumu_LittleKnightSkin_Ch.jpg the Chinese version for the same skin]]. [[TookALevelInBadass Someone ordered a badass level for the mummy?]] Also plays The DulcineaEffect as Amumu [[YouShallNotPass interposes himself]] between Warwick and an unconscious [[ImpliedLoveInterest Annie.]] [[http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Amumu/SkinsTrivia?file=Amumu%20VancouverSkin%20Ch.jpg The Chinese Vancouver skin]] also shows him visibly scowling and getting ready to fight compared to [[http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Amumu/SkinsTrivia?file=Amumu%20VancouverSkin.jpg the normal version of the skin]].
* AscendedMeme: Amumu has been called an emo for quite a while. Ladies and gentlemen, Emumu skin.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Despair deals a percentage of an opponent's maximum health every second in magic damage, so even tanks stacking HP and Armor are damaged just as much as their squishy teammates. However, it is ''magic'' damage, so Magic ''Resistance'' does provide a level of protection (though Amumu's passive helps get through that too).
* ArtEvolution: Played with; he's one of the champs to receive updates to a few of his splash art images, but none to his in-game model.
* BadassAdorable: He's pretty cute for such a strong little guy.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: You'd think that a champion whose main damage output is crying and throwing temper tantrums wouldn't be very effective. He is.
* ButtMonkey: All of his skins - save Pharaoh and Vancouver - show Amumu on the receiving end of trouble: not winning the title of Prom King, an unwanted gift, a FailureKnight, about to be melted down in a scrap yard, and not being invited to parties.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: A tiny shambling child mummy who constantly cries and flies into tantrums... and is regarded as one of the most solid and useful heroes in the game. He used to be regarded as a number one game-changer in the meta-game due to his ultimate, Curse of the Sad Mummy, having high potential to turn a lost game around or secure a win if executed just at the right moment. Even when he's no longer considered top-tier he's still a dangerous threat when left un-banned.
* DeadToBeginWith: Woke up as an undead and has zero memories of his life before he died.
* DeathByAThousandCuts: Despair won't do any serious damage... at first. Since it saps nearby enemy's life based on a percentage of max health per second, an Amumu can kill you just by standing near you long enough.
* {{Emo}}: His [[PunnyName Emumu]] skin, has him wearing edgy black bangs and black clothing.
* EmotionBomb: His lore implies that Despair doesn't actually damage people by crying. Instead, everything near him becomes sad as well, slowly wearing away at their life force.
* GlacierWaif: One of the smallest champions in the game, but one of his most effective roles in a team is a tank, intended to take all the damage from the enemy team.
* GradualGrinder: The damage an Amumu can inflict onto his target(s) is directly proportional to how long he can stay on top of them as his Despair, Tantrum, and autoattacks slowly but surely wear away at them.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: He's lonely, after all.
-->''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/e/e9/Amumu.attack5.ogg "Let's find some friends!"]]''
* {{Irony}}: A small, frail-looking, and otherwise pitiable champion who is one of the best tanks in the game. He thinks of himself as TheUnfavorite to the point where his selection quote is "I thought you'd never pick me...". In the season 2 meta-game he was on the permanently-banned list for his game-changing initiation and people scrambled to pick him whenever he wasn't banned. Even now he's still considered a solid pick and gets summoned in a decent percentage of matches.
* MagikarpPower: Compared to some other junglers, Amumu has abysmal dueling capacity early on and can get bullied by a rival jungler like Trundle or Shyvana. Given enough time and farm, though, Amumu becomes an unkillable little menace who can wear down these same fighters' health bars before they can do the same, not to mention his enormous team-wide lockdown.
* MakeThemRot: His touch makes living flesh rot. He doesn't mean to do it; unfortunately for him, [[PowerIncontinence he can't control it]].
* MemeticHandGesture: Uses Franchise/SpiderMan's web-shooting gesture for the icon of his Bandage Toss ability.
* MightyGlacier: His high [=AoE=] damage-over-time and innately tankiness makes Amumu a tough nut to crack that you really, really don't want too close to you.
* {{Mummy}}: A small, sad one.
* MummyWrap: Naturally, two of his four abilities make use of this trope proper. Their enormous synergy is perhaps the biggest reason why Amumu is almost always a dangerous enemy. Bandage Toss, which binds (and stuns) a single opponent and slings him towards them, sets him up perfectly for his Curse of the Sad Mummy, which wraps up every enemy in a huge radius around him, leaving them helpless to move or autoattack for a short duration. If these two are used in a hectic teamfight, the entire enemy team can effectively become "out of position" - people on the fringe of that radius, especially the squishier, more vital ones, are picked off effortlessly, while their nearby friends often can't move an inch to help.
* MultipleChoicePast: There are several theories for who Amumu is: One says he was the youngest child of the first great ruling family of Shurima who succumbed to a disease that corrupted flesh with hideous speed; A second tale whispers of another crown prince, one given to bouts of [[RoyalBrat petulance, cruelty, and murderous vanity]]; Yet another story of Amumu tells of the first and last Yordle ruler of Shurima, who believed in the innate goodness of the human heart.
* MysteriousPast: No one knows who he used to be or who his parents were, he just woke up mummified in a Shurima pyramid and started off that way. As pointed out [[http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/HAPgkkIY?comment=00010000 by the narrative team,]] Amumu is something of an in-universe fairy tale, and the team intends to keep his origins, as well as his exact species, a mystery.
* NotTheIntendedUse:
** He's intended to be a main tank for a team who locks down specific targets and initiates fights. But his relatively high AP ratios for a tank have made hybrid tank builds that include some damaging items like Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Llandry's Torment popular. These builds retain a certain amount of tankiness while also giving him surprising amounts of bursts damage and damage over time in protracted fights, especially after his passive was reworked to convert a portion of the magic damage he deals into [[ArmorPiercingAttack true damage.]]
** Even more daring players opt to use him as an AP-based grenade, eschewing almost all forms of defense to take advantage of his ability to burst an entire team with his ultimate or destroy a single squishy target with a Q->R->E combo. His ability to burn down even tanks with ''Despair'' means that he'll devastate anything in his path while his enemies are locked down.
* ParentalAbandonment: Has no idea who or what his parents were at all.
* RoyalBrat: It was heavily implied in the story that ties into his most recent lore that Amumu was a prince and, according to the pictures, was constantly surrounded by riches given to him by his subjects and foreigners. When he died, "only those closest to him wept", but the citizens rejoiced. It's still not mentioned as to how he died.
* SkillGateCharacter: Amumu's ultimate, his fairly easy to use gap-closer, his good jungle clearing speed, and strong teamfight presence makes him the number one must-ban in many low ELO solo ranked games, and one of the easiest junglers to master. Counters? Easy: invade and deny his blue buff, pick a jungler who isn't entirely dependent on the blue buff (i.e. Zac and Tryndamere), or have someone excelling in dueling (i.e. Lee Sin). It's also worth mentioning that his Bandage Toss-then-ultimate combo easily punishes enemy teams for having one member be "out of position", and on the whole this is a more prevalent mistake at lower ELO's.
* SimpleYetAwesome: Aside from his skillshot gap-closer in ''Bandage Toss'', Amumu is an all-around easy to use champion who can combine tanking ability with heavy [=AOE=] sustained damage. It's telling that aside from a change to his passive and some balance updates to his abilities, his kit has remained virtually unchanged from his release.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Amumu finally had a friend: Annie. A Journal of Justice article mentioned the two of them, followed by the official website confirming them as friends. [[HappyEndingOverride Then it became non-canon]].
** He's thrown another bone in the form of Xayah, who unironically finds him to be absolutely adorable.
* UndeadChild: It was unclear whether or not he was a human child or a Yordle before he was [[RetCon retconned]] into the latter. A Rioter has confirmed that he probably won't stay a Yordle if he undergoes a Visual Update, as he claimed it didn't make much sense. Retconned once more as of the Shurima update, his age and race now unknown to EVERYONE.
* UseYourHead: Smashes his head against things for autoattacks. [[JustifiedTrope Makes sense,]] given that it's the only thing that can even reach most champions.
* WalkingWasteland: Amumu's mere presence makes nearby flora and fauna wither away and die, with his touch [[MakeThemRot speeding up the process]].
* YankTheDogsChain: Every time he thinks he's found some friends he'll usually drive them off with his persistent aura of intense sadness, leading him to wander from place to place continually crying.
* ZombieGait: His normal walk.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (English), Carmen Podio (European Spanish/1st voice), Inma Gallego (European Spanish/Current voice), Sarah Souza (Mexican Spanish), Creator/AtsukoTanaka (Japanese)

->''"I am the fury of the blizzard, the bite of the wind, and the cold of the ice. I am the Freljord."''

Anivia is a benevolent winged spirit who endures endless cycles of life, death, and rebirth to protect the Freljord. A demigod born of unforgiving ice and bitter winds, she wields those elemental powers to thwart any who dare disturb her homeland. Anivia guides and protects the tribes of the harsh north, who revere her as a symbol of hope, and a portent of great change. She fights with every ounce of her being, knowing that through her sacrifice, her memory will endure, and she will be reborn into a new tomorrow.\\
\\
Anivia is a Battle Mage champion who excels at controlling and denying areas of the battlefield with ice and freezing winds, while inflicting powerful burst damage on her enemies.
* Her passive, ''Rebirth'', transforms Anivia into an egg upon death, restoring her to full health and reviving her with the egg's remainin health if it survives a few seconds. This effect has a long cooldown before it can be used again.
* With her first ability, ''Flash Frost'', Anivia sends out an ice ball in a target direction that damages and slows enemies in its path. By reactivating the ability, the ice ball shatters, dealing further damage and stunning nearby enemies.
* Her second ability, ''Crystallize'', summons an impassable wall of ice at a target location for a few seconds.
* With her third ability, ''Frostbite'', Anivia shoots an ice shard at an enemy, damaging them. The damage dealt is doubled if the target is stunned by ''Flash Frost'' or slowed by a fully expanded ''Glacial Storm''.
* Her ultimate ability, ''Glacial Storm'', is a toggled ability that, at the cost of mana-per-second to maintain it, summons a powerful blizzard at a target location, damaging and slowing enemies inside. The blizzard grows in size over the next few seconds, increasing the damage and slow when it reaches maximum size.

\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Anivia is a Tier 5 Glacial Elementalist. Her ability is ''Glacial Storm'', which creates a long-lasting hailstorm that constantly damages enemies and reduces their attack speed. She was removed in season 2.
----
* AnIcePerson: Should be obvious.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Her passive lets her periodically revert to an egg and be reborn after taking fatal damage (she is a Phoenix, after all). Unfortunately, an enemy team which is able to down her can usually kill 'Eggnivia' before she respawns -- and even if she does come back, she returns with as much health as her egg had, which may not be enough to get away. Casting Teleport while you're almost certainly dead and will be eggified is a useful tactic for playing Anivia to ensure that her death count is always 0.
* DifficultButAwesome: Anivia is slow, fragile, middling-ranged, and has high mana costs, which are somewhat at odds with her ideal gameplay, which requires long execution time for her abilities. [[MagikarpPower Once she can get going, however]], said abilities can become very devastating when combined together, giving her an almost unheard-of amount of area and crowd control.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Her Legendary Blackfrost skin is this, showcasing a "what if?" scenario where Anivia becomes corrupted by the Frozen Watchers.
* EvilLaugh: Again, her Blackfrost skin. It [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/b/b7/BlackIceAnivia.laugh01.ogg will]] [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/9/9e/BlackIceAnivia.laugh02.ogg freeze]][[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/b/bf/BlackIceAnivia.laugh03.ogg your]][[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/1/1a/BlackIceAnivia.laugh04.ogg blood]].
* FireIceLightning: With her brothers, Ornn and Volibear, with Ornn being Fire, Volibear being Lightning and Anivia herself being Ice.
* FisherKing: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Anivia's lore portrays her as tied to the essence of Freljord's winter -- if the land is corrupted by the Watchers, she would be too. This is one of the reasons she has thrown her lot in with Ashe against Lissandra's minions.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Anivia seeks to protect all that inhabit the Freljord, both from outsiders and [[WarIsHell from themselves in their countless wars for survival.]]
* GameBreakingBug: Possibly the most severe case, to the point that it was patched within the hour. Anivia has a skill that shoots out a ball of ice, slowing people in its path and detonating at the end of the path (or manually before then) to stun anyone the small detonation hits. However, a long time ago after a patch, this skill was bugged so that the range of the detonation was global, meaning she could sit in the fountain and spam the skill and the entire enemy team would be helpless to do anything but take the damage and be stunned every couple of seconds the entire game.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Many of her descriptions and voice interactions in ''Legends of Runeterra'' refer to her as a protector to shield her followers. [[{{Irony}} In spite of this, her card explicitly states that she "Can't Block".]]
* GeoEffects: Anivia can temporarily make impassible terrain. Used rightly, her Ice Wall can separate key targets from their allies or make it harder for enemies to escape her ult. [[TheLoad Used wrongly]], however, she can trap a teammate in a bad spot or help a fleeing enemy get away.
* GiantFlyer: As a Freljordian demigod, Anivia is ''massive.'' You can't really see it in ''League'', but her cards in ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'' portray her perched on a tower or swooping over a human army, with a wingspan measured in ''hundreds'' of feet!
* GlassCannon: One of the most fragile mages in the game, but her damage output is huge.
* LadyOfWar: Especially evident in ''Legends of Runeterra'', Anivia maintains a very graceful grandeur as she helps rally her Freljordians into battle.
* MagikarpPower: Has high damage but crippling mana costs in the early going. She usually needs a fully-charged Rod of Ages ''and'' Archangel's Staff before she becomes effective in teamfights.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: When her brother Ornn destroyed her favorite perching tree to build his house, she pranked him by tickling his nose while he slept. The sneeze set Ornn's massive new home on fire. When he awoke, he assumed it was karma for his bragging. To this day, she can't admit her guilt.
* NobleBirdOfPrey: All of her skins are this by default, Bird of Prey Anivia doubly so.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite her noble demeanor, she once pulled a prank on Ornn and is incapable of admitting to doing so after said prank ended up burning his house down.
* ThePhoenix: Replace fire with [[AnIcePerson ice]], and there you go. She even has the aspect of resurrection.
* PhysicalGod: One of a Freljordian demigod trio with Ornn and Volibear.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Pre-visual update her eyes were red, likely to contrast with her being entirely blue, but she's otherwise a perfectly good character, [[AvertedTrope averting the connotations]].
* {{Retcon}}: Anivia's prior lore had her as an extraplanar being summoned to Runeterra by the League. Now, she's a native of the plane and an elemental goddess of the Freljord to make her more relevant to Runeterran struggles.
* SiblingRivalry: She and Ornn have a contentious but largely harmless indifference to one another.
* StrawNihilist: Her Blackfrost skin gives her a voice-set where she sounds like she's thoroughly tired of the existence of life and just wants to freeze everyone and everything to get some peace.
* UnitsNotToScale: On Summoner's Rift, she's a pretty big bird, but not notably larger than other champions. According to [[https://cdn1.sixmorevodka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/15153044/ANIVIA-L02.jpg?webp=0 her level 2 card art]] from ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'', she's as big as an airliner.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: A bit of it with her Blackfrost skin.
* WhyWontYouDie: Well, she ''is'' a phoenix. Her passive periodically allows her to survive fatal damage as an egg, allowing her to respawn if enemies can't do her in while in that state.

->''"Ashes, ashes, they all fall down."''

Dangerous, yet disarmingly precocious, Annie is a child mage with immense pyromantic power. Even in the shadows of the mountains north of Noxus, she is a magical outlier. Her natural affinity for fire manifested early in life through unpredictable, emotional outbursts, though she eventually learned to control these “playful tricks.” Her favorite includes the summoning of her beloved teddy bear, Tibbers, as a fiery protector. Lost in the perpetual innocence of childhood, Annie wanders the dark forests, always looking for someone to play with.\\
\\
Annie is a Burst Mage champion with simple yet devastating abilities that grant her powerful burst damage and crowd control against both single targets and multiple foes at the same time.
* Her passive, ''Pyromania'', gains a stack whenever Annie uses an ability. After reaching four stacks, Annie's next damaging ability will briefly stun all enemies it damages.
* With her first ability, ''Disintegrate'', Annie hurls a fireball at a nearby enemy, dealing damage and refunding the ability's mana cost and half its cooldown if it kills the target.
* Her second ability, ''Incinerate'', releases a wave of fire, damaging enemies in a cone in the target direction.
* Her third ability, ''Molten Shield'', protects Annie and Tibbers with a fire shield for a few seconds, increasing their movement speed, reducing incoming damage and damaging enemies that attack them.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Summon: Tibbers'', Annie summons her teddy bear Tibbers at a target location in a fiery explosion, damaging nearby enemies. Tibbers remains as a controllable pet for a few seconds afterwards, attacking enemies and inflicting constant damage to nearby foes with his flaming aura. Tibbers becomes enraged when summoned or a nearby enemy is stunned by ''Pyromania'', gaining bonus movement and attack speed. If Annie dies, Tibbers will heal himself, become enraged and target Annie's killer.

In season 2 of ''Teamfight Tactics,'' Annie is a Tier 4 Inferno Summoner. Her ability is ''Tibbers!'', which summons Tibbers as a giant minion near a target, damaging all enemies nearby and letting him fight for the rest of the round or until killed.
----
* AdultsAreUseless: Annie has a deep dislike for adults from the city, believing them all to be just like her stepmother, so she stays in the wilderness most of the time.
* AnIcePerson: Frostfire Annie provides this charming inversion of her powers.
* AnimalEaredHeadband: Red kitty ears.
* ArtEvolution: Annie is one of the oldest champions in the game and while her [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb57088/leagueoflegends/de/images/d/d5/Annie-Render.png old character model]] was fair for its time, by modern standards it was hideous, with oversized hands and feet, a ''colossal'' head and pipe-stem limbs and neck. Her [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130116195936/leagueoflegends/images/a/ab/Annie_Skins_Screenshots.jpg new model]] doesn't just rectify these issues, making her look like a cute (if dangerous) little girl, it's also the first champion model in the game to have ''animated facial expressions'' (as well as lip-sync, which Soraka got on her reworked model just before Annie)!
* TheArtifact: As a relic of her being [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness a very early character in the game]], several aspects of her current visual design like her style of dress, backpack, and cat ears have a weirdly modern aesthetic not seen anywhere in the current incarnation of Runeterra. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUTU-GnxVuM Her Origins video]] in 2018 shows her in a much simpler red and white dress you'd expect for a girl from a rustic home in the mountains, making her in-game appearance clash pretty hard.
* BadassAdorable: Especially her Reverse Annie skin, which has her wear a bear suit.
* BlackMagicianGirl: Very childlike, and yet she's one of the strongest mages in the guild.
* BearsAreBadNews: Annie's ultimate. Tibbers will drop on you with no warning, very probably stun you, ''and'' he's [[IncendiaryExponent on fire]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: When she stops by a tavern for a glass of milk in [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/annie-color-story "Trouble"]], the whole tavern gets to meet Tibbers. But the bartender, nice enough to give her the drink she asked for, is spared.
-->'''Annie''': Thanks for the milk, sir.
* BerserkButton: As Annie's stepmother learned the hard way, trying to hurt [[TragicKeepsake Tibbers]] in front of Annie is a ''very'' bad idea. Likewise during gameplay, if Tibbers is active and Annie is killed, Tibbers becomes enraged, gaining a massive movement and attack speed boost as he tries to run down whoever did the deed.
* BoringYetPractical: Annie's almost universally-known combo is to charge up her passive stun, cast Tibbers on her target(s) to stun them, then follow up with Incinerate, Disintegrate, then an Ignite for good measure. Straightfoward? Yes. Old-fashioned? Yes. Effective? Hell yes.
* BullyingADragon: Let's just say her stepmother really doesn't react in the most constructive of ways to the signs of Annie's growing pyromancy powers. It doesn't really end well for anyone involved.
* CatchPhrase: [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/5/52/Annie.move1.ogg "Have you seen my bear Tibbers?"]]
* ChildMage: With frightening potential, given what she can do at this age.
* CreepyChild: Hits just the right notes of childlike innocence and pyromania to give off a very creepy vibe.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The ''Annie: Origins'' animated short and her 2018 updated story, adds more elements of how she became the creepy girl with the ferocious teddy bear everyone knows. Her real mother disappeared while searching for cold water when baby Annie caught fever, her father married another woman who came with her child and disliked Annie, she accidentally attacked her stepsister and later tried to save her from drowning with no success; her father died while saving Annie from a fire, and her stepmother blamed Annie for the tragedies and tried to tear Tibbers apart only for the teddy bear to come to life and kill her. Annie leaves her past life and wanders the wilderness of Noxus with Tibbers as her only friend.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Annie isn't exactly ''nice'', but despite her dark magic, she's not really evil, either, and she isn't notably more vicious or destructive than the other Champions. In other words, a typical 8-year-old with a little too much power for not having left the 'brat' phase behind yet.
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: When she needs food or some new clothes, she uses her cuteness to sucker some random person to provide it. Stays with them for a time. Them leaves. Usually with the house and its occupant ashes.
* ElementalPowers: [[PlayingWithFire Annie is a burst mage with fire-based attacks, even when summoning Tibbers]].
* {{Expy}}: Annie is a childhood version of the ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients'' character Lina Inverse, who herself is based gameplay-wise on the lead character of ''{{LightNovel/Slayers}}''. Interestingly though, her Ultimate - summoning Tibbers - is much closer to Warlock's Ultimate: summoning a large fiery beast and stunning the enemy.
* FluffyTamer: She's able to bring Tibbers to life through her pyromancy, and [[BearsAreBadNews he's straight-up bad news]].
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: While she received a backstory update and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUTU-GnxVuM video detailing said backstory]], her VO remained the same. Leaving her in game personality and lore personality wildly different.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Especially if it can help her kick ass.
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: If a killer teddy bear counts. If that doesn't count, her fire spells certainly do.
* GlassCannon: Easy to kill, easy to get killed by.
* GothGirlsKnowMagic: While in her Goth Annie skin. And yes, she's a powerful mage.
* HappyEndingOverride: Annie had one the happier backgrounds in the lore. A happy if scary child, raised by loving mage parents who understood her power. Post lore rewrite, she's an unloved WildChild who can't control her powers, and accidentally killed both her parents, her step-sister, and purposely offed her WickedStepmother.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Tibbers counts as a weapon, right?
* InstantDeathRadius: Just try and get within 600 range of her after she hits level 6. Taken UpToEleven by Annie Bot, who is notorious for pulling off her killing combo faster than even top-tier human players.
* JekyllAndHyde: Sometimes she's a skip-around little schoolgirl, other times she wants to burn you to a crisp -- or let her teddy bear do it for her.
* KillItWithFire: [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/3/31/Annie.move5.ogg Claims to never play with matches]]. This is BlatantLies or MetaphoricallyTrue because she will happily set anything on fire -- with her magic. (Or what she does with matches isn't "playing").
* KillerTeddyBear: Tibbers, of course.
* LampshadeHanging: One of her attack lines is [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/e/e9/Annie.attack4.ogg "Let's count to five!"]]. Her passive causes an offensive spell cast to stun enemy targets hit after the use of four other abilities. Another interpretation is that she wants to [[KillStreak hear the announcer count to]] [[TotalPartyKill five]]
* LittleMissBadass: [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100929154317/leagueoflegends/images/d/d7/Annie_concept.jpg Her original design was a sexy teenage school girl]], and now she's a killer 8-year old.
* MilestoneCelebration[[invoked]]: For the 10-year anniversary of ''League of Legends'', she received the [[PunnyName Annie-versary]] skin, featuring an extremely buff Teemo as Tibbers.
* NotTheIntendedUse: Towards the end of Season 3 she got fielded as a bot-lane support as often (if not more often) as a mid-lane mage, taking advantage of her decent damage without items combined with support gold changes. A support Annie that does well in lane can end up being nearly as much of a menace as her solo lane counterpart. And even without gold, Annie still has some of the most brutal initiation in the game. Flash + Tibbers = enemy team is sitting ducks for nearly two seconds.
** Even more obvious now due to recent changes in Season 4. Her initial damage and stun duration at level 1 have been lowered, but the cooldown of Tibbers has been reduced, making it way more effective either in lane or as a teamfight skill. All this alongside new items so that Annie can still get a ton of gold, making her a terror as a support.
* PandaingToTheAudience: Panda Annie, her Lunar Revel skin in which Tibbers is, naturally, a panda.
* PerkyGoth: Her Goth skin retains all her cute, sweet little quotes and animations.
* PimpedOutDress: Prom Queen Annie, along with several of her other outfits.
* PlayingWithFire: Whether its offensively or defensively, fire is her magic of choice. Even her demon-turned-teddy-bear is on fire!
* PowerIncontinence: ''ANNIE: Origins'' shows that Annie's power flares up with her emotions, not as a deliberate act. When trying to get her bear back from her stepsister, she accidentally burned her through Tibbers. Her despair at her sister's death and overhearing her stepmother call her a monster started the fire that burned down their house and killed her father.
* PrettyInMink: Her [[http://www.thepaperwall.com/wallpaper.php?view=eee726d93a6fc98b25bdabba730d4ea617a75460&fol=fantasy Frostfire outfit]] is trimmed with white fur on the shoulders, waist, hood, and skirt hem. Her [[NiceShoes boots are also white fur]].
* {{Retcon}}: As one of the game's very first champions, Annie's had a few significantly different backstories to what she has now:
** In her very first biography during alpha, Annie was the daughter of a criminal wizard couple who were exiled to the rim of the Shadow Isles, and [[SealedEvilInATeddyBear Tibbers was a shadow bear that she herself ensorcelled into a stuffed pet]] ''[[ImprobableAge at the age of two]]''.
** The backstory surrounding her parents were changed and expanded upon shortly after the game's official release: now named Gregori and Amoline, they were instead leaders of the Grey Order, a group of Noxian outcasts who decided to resettle in the northern Voodoo Lands.
** Annie's 2018 lore rewrite changed a lot about her backstory; her Noxian parents simply settled into the Ironspike Mountains by themselves, Tibbers went from SealedEvilInATeddyBear to a normal teddy bear that Annie can bring to life, and drama surrounding a stepfamily and subsequent [[SelfMadeOrphan self-orphaning]] were added.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: If you kill Annie while Tibbers is up, he will Enrage and go after you.
* SharpDressedMan: Tibbers dresses up when accompanying Prom Queen Annie. Bet you didn't expect to see a giant fiery bear in a tux today, did you?
* SkillGateCharacters: Teaches players to last-hit properly, to carefully plan your attacks, to count your used abilities, to do quick combo bursts, to properly control a pet (being the easiest pet-using character) and to make {{Tactical Withdrawal}}s (a skill that some people lack), making her the best choice for a person who wants to learn using casters. However, her spell ranges are some of the shortest in the game, making her easy to harass by players who know how to punish this weakness.
* SkipOfInnocence: She moves like this.
* SquishyWizard: Slightly tougher than the average caster thanks to the bonus defensive stats she gets from Magma Shield, but players are still encouraged to build her as a GlassCannon, and will still melt under dedicated fire.
* TokenMiniMoe: The youngest girl in the League by at least a decade.
* WildChild: Annie wanders the wilderness by herself with Tibbers. She only goes to civilized populations when in need of food and clothes.

[[folder:Aphelios, the Weapon of the Faithful]]
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/apheliosloadscreenaphelios.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:"Summon your weapons, Aphelios. The deadliest is your faith."]]

!!!'''Alune voiced by:''' Creator/TaniaGunadi (English)

->''“Our faith is proven fate each time we deny it.”''
-->-- '''Alune'''

Emerging from moonlight’s shadow with weapons drawn, Aphelios kills the enemies of his faith in brooding silence—speaking only through the certainty of his aim, and the firing of each gun. Though fueled by a poison that renders him mute, he is guided by his sister Alune in her distant temple sanctuary from where she pushes an arsenal of moonstone weapons into his hands. For as long as the moon shines overhead, Aphelios will never be alone.\\
\\
Aphelios is a very unique Marksman champion whose complex and highly demanding kit rewards skill, precision and timing with unparalelled versatily. His ability structure and layout act unlike those of any other champion in the game.
* His passive, ''The Hitman and The Seer'', has several effects:
** Aphelios has five ''Moonstone Weapons'' in a constantly-cycling lineup, carrying two at a time: one in his main-hand and another one in his off-hand, which he can switch between. Each weapon has unique properties and a limited supply of ammo, called ''Moonlight'', that is expended by basic attacks and his first ability. When all ''Moonlight'' is consumed from his current gun, it moves to the back of the line as Aphelios switches to the next gun in rotation.
** Aphelios only has three abilities, with the third simply showing the next gun in the queue. His abilities are learned automatically (his second ability at level 1, his first one at level 2, his ultimate at level 6), with his level-up points instead being spent to increase his attack damage, attack speed or armor penetration.
* His first ability varies depending on the gun Aphelios currently has equipped in his main-hand, with some also having bonus effects based on his off-hand gun. While all five of these sub-abilities cost mana and ''Moonlight'' ammo, they have separate cooldowns, allowing them to be swapped on and used in quick succession.
* His second ability, ''Phase'', simply swaps the guns between Aphelios' main and off-hand. This allows him to change his weapon cycle by choosing which gun he expends first.
* His ultimate ability, ''Moonlight Vigil'', fires a moonlight bomb in a target direction that explodes upon hitting an enemy, damaging all targets hit. Aphelios will then fire one basic attack from his main weapon at all enemies hit by the explosion, with the effects of these follow-up attacks varying depending on the gun.

Aphelios' five ''Moonstone Weapons'' are:
* ''Calibrum'': a sniper rifle used for poke and harassment that increases Aphelio's attack range. Enemies hit by abilities involving ''Calibrum'' are marked, with Aphelios being able to attack marked targets from massive range with his off-hand weapon, detonating the mark on the target and other nearby foes for bonus damage.
** With ''Calibrum'' equipped, Aphelios' first ability becomes ''Moonshot'', firing a moonlight beam in a target direction that damages and marks the first enemy it hits.
** With ''Calibrum'' equipped, ''Moonlight Vigil'''s follow-up attacks mark enemies they hit, with the bonus damage from consuming these marks being increased.
* ''Severum'': a scythe pistol used for sustain that heals Aphelios for a percentage of the damage it deals, with any healing above his max health instead being converted into a shield.
** With ''Severum'' equipped, Aphelios' first ability becomes ''Onslaught'', increasing his movement speed while rapidly firing both equipped guns at the closest enemy, with these basic attacks dealing reduced damage.
** With ''Severum'' equipped, ''Moonlight Vigil'''s first follow-up attack heals Aphelios.
* ''Gravitum'': a heavy cannon used for utility and crowd control that applies a powerful, decaying slow to enemies hit by its basic attacks.
** With ''Gravitum'' equipped, Aphelios' first ability becomes ''Binding Eclipse'', damaging and briefly immobilizing any enemies on the map affected by the slow from its basic attacks.
** With ''Gravitum'' equipped, ''Moonlight Vigil'''s follow-up attacks apply a much stronger slow.
* ''Infernum'': a flamethrower used for area-of-effect damage and waveclear, whose basic attacks create a cone of flame that damages enemies behind the main target.
** With ''Infernum'' equipped, Aphelios' first ability becomes ''Duskwave'', sending out a wave of fire in a cone in the target direction that damages and marks all enemies in its path. Aphelios will then fire a basic attack from his off-hand weapon at all marked enemies.
** With ''Infernum'' equipped, ''Moonlight Vigil'''s follow-up attacks deal bonus damage and explode in a ring around the target, rather than a cone behind them.
* ''Crescendum'': a chakram used for close-range sustained damage that acts as a boomerang that must return to Aphelios before he can attack again, with its travel time based on distance from the target and Aphelios' attack speed. Abilities involving ''Crescendum'' create temporary copies of the chakram for each enemy hit, which will also be fired with subsequent basic attacks, increasing the damage dealt.
** With ''Crescendum'' equipped, Aphelios' first ability becomes ''Sentry'', deploying Aphelios' off-hand weapon as a stationary turret that attacks nearby enemies, applying the off-hand weapon's basic attacks effects with reduced damage. The turret can be attacked and destroyed by enemies.
** With ''Crescendum'' equipped, ''Moonlight Vigil'''s first follow-up attack grants Aphelios an additional three temporary copies of the chakram, in addition to those granted for each enemy hit.
\\
His alternate skin is Nightbringer Aphelios.
----
* AffectionateNickname: During particularly intimate moments, Alune refers to Aphelios as "Phel".
* BattleBoomerang: ''Crescendum'' is a [[DeadlyDisc chakram]] that behaves like this, intended to be [[SpamAttack spammed to hell and back]].
* BrotherSisterTeam: Aphelios and Alune are inseparable twin zealots of the Lunari, the former being trained as an assassin defender while the latter was trained as a {{Seer}} using the moon as a guide. Combined through Aphelios' presence, they're a force to be reckoned with.
* ClosedCircle: Alune currently resides in a temple merged with the [[SpiritWorld spirit realm]], unable to leave or interact with the physical world beyond Aphelios. While her interaction with Yuumi implies she at least has occasional company through those who could travel between realms, she makes it clear that her position is a lonely one.
-->'''Alune''': This fortress is quiet... If only you could be here, Phel. ''(chuckles)'' [[TheSpeechless You]] would make this stone seem loud.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each of Aphelios' guns have a coordinated color, remaining consistent across skins: ''Calibrum'' is green, ''Severum'' is red, ''Gravitum'' is purple, ''Infernum'' is blue, and ''Crescendum'' is white.
* CursedWithAwesome: In the process of gaining [[{{Lunacy}} the moon's power]], Aphelios was poisoned and [[TheSpeechless rendered mute]], and Alune became confined to the SpiritWorld, physically isolating them. Ironically, these circumstances are the reasons why the two are able to work together to their greatest extents at all.
* DarkIsNotEvil: At least in their view, Aphelios and Alune see the darkness as something to be embraced, both literally (the Lunari survivors hide from [[LightIsNotGood the Solari]] in the shrouded sections of Mount Targon) and spiritually (believing that the moon follows and protects them while in the shadows).
* DifficultButAwesome: Simply comprehending [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter all the unique technical traits of Aphelios' kit listed above]] is daunting in of itself, but then you have to take in all the minutiae of individual guns and what they do while in use, ''and'' also consider the macro game based on how they're arranged in their cycling mechanic. Mastering Aphelios and his incredibly packed arsenal is likely one of the greatest challenges in the entirety of ''League''. Doing so turns him into one of the most varied and capable MasterOfAll in the entire game, with all of his guns having a major purpose (sustain, poking, waveclear, CC and DPS) and giving him an edge in almost every situation.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Though it is poisonous and renders him mute, Aphelios must regularly consume the distilled essence of noctum flowers for Alune to channel the moon's power into him.
* TheDividual: Aphelios is the main host champion, but he's also spiritually accompanied by Alune, using his body as a conduit for her lunar powers.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: The two began as a mortal warrior and a seer, and now fight with the moon's power in their hands. Notably, Aphelios is first Targonian champion who is not described as [[PhysicalGod an Aspect or some higher celestial being]].
* FacialMarkings: Aphelios and Alune have these, and as a bonus, they're a split of the Lunari symbol on Diana's face. For Aphelios, he has a wide crescent starting from his forehead and crossing an eye, while Alune has a single pale circle in the center of her face.
* FirstPersonShooters: Aphelios's design and gameplay share many tropes with this genre, particularly games released in the wake of VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved; note the LimitedLoadout weapons having ammunition and Aphelios himself being TheSpeechless accompanied by a VoiceWithAnInternetConnection.
* GatheringSteam: ''Crescendum'' is meant to [[MeaningfulName crescendo]] in power more than his other weapons. Using abilities with it increases its overall damage per hit, allowing it to rack up some frightening damage when in constant use, with [[SituationalSword the main stipulation that due to its boomeranging mechanic, it should be in relatively shorter range.]]
* GravityMaster: To a degree with ''Gravitum'', a cannon which appears to be fuelled by some kind of UnrealisticBlackHole, slowing and rooting enemies in place.
* JackOfAllStats: PlayedWith; Aphelios has theoretically one of the most varied strengths of any marksman, with guns specializing in long-range poke, mid-range DPS, sustain, crowd control, and area-of-effect damage (all he really lacks is personal mobility). The catch is that these stats aren't simultaneous -- he only has access to 2 out of 5 guns at a given time, but the way his passive works means he's constantly cycling through them as the game goes on.
* LimitedLoadout: Aphelios' kit is an adaptation of this idea for a MOBA setting -- he can only carry 2 of his 5 potential weapons at a time, and while he can [[RealTimeWeaponChange instantly swap between those two on the fly]], his control over when he can switch to new gun is limited.
* {{Lunacy}}: Aphelios and Alune are remnants of the Lunari, born under a rare lunar convergence event, and each merging their own share of the moon's divine powers into a moonstone arsenal. In addition, their backstory confirms that [[WeirdMoon the moon's supernatural nature]] has something to do with a connection to the SpiritWorld, with the aforementioned convergence being an eclipse between its physical and spiritual selves.
* MageMarksman: Aphelios wields uniquely sleek, mystical, almost alien-looking weapons [[{{Lunacy}} powered by the moon]] and summoned of moonstone, and most of them function ostensibly as firearms. To boot, he wields a SniperRifle, a [[{{Handguns}} pistol]] (also made to resemble a [[SinisterScythe scythe]] head), a [[HandCannon cannon]], a [[FireBreathingWeapon flamethrower]], and a [[BattleBoomerang boomeranging]] [[DeadlyDisc chakram]].
* MeaningfulName: "Aphelios" is broken down from the Greek "apo" and "helios", translating literally to "[[SolarAndLunar away from the sun]]". Meanwhile, "Alune" evokes "luna", the Latin word for "[[{{Lunacy}} moon]]".
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: ''[[UpToEleven Goodness gracious]]''. Ammo system? Check. Five different weapons, each with their own unique attributes and passive effects? Check. Two weapons equipped at each time that are constantly cycled through? Check. Only three abilities, and only two of them considered actual abilities, each with different effects based on what weapons are equipped in each hand? Check. Abilities ranking up at specific levels rather than the player spending points on them? Check. A custom [=HUD=] ''specifically for Aphelios'' to keep track of all of this? Double check. It's safe to say that Aphelios dethrones Jhin and Senna as the most fundamentals-altering marksman -- if not champion, period -- in the entire game.
* MysticalWaif: In contrast to her brother, Alune is not a fighter, and was raised to be a {{Seer}} for the Lunari. Based on her orbit, [[TheChosenOne she was destined to become one with the Marus Omegnum]] -- the Lunari temple in the SpiritWorld -- where she remains, currently blessed with the moon's power that she channels into Aphelios.
* MultiRangedMaster: Packs 5 ranged weapons in his kit, each one affecting his basic attacks and abilities while equipped.
* SinisterScythe: ''Severum'', despite being described as a "Scythe ''Pistol"'' and otherwise behaving like a ranged weapon, is visually represented as a melee weapon with sweeping strikes that travel a wide distance.
* SniperRifle: ''Calibrum'' (Aphelios' default weapon alongside ''Severum'') functions as a sniper rifle, innately built with greater basic attack range, and applying marks that can give him even greater increased for his off-hand gun.
* SpamAttack: ''Severum'' and ''Crescendum'' and their respective abilities can result in some massive DPS, the former in terms of individual strikes in a single ability cast (also applying the effects of his off-weapon for good measure), and the latter in terms of [[ZergRush sheer potential volume]].
* TheSpeechless: The noctum poison Aphelios consumes tightens his throat and renders him mute beyond a few short [[VoiceGrunting grunts]]. [[VoiceForTheVoiceless Alune picks up the slack]].
* SpiritAdvisor: Alune serves as this to Aphelios -- while she remains physically isolated in the Marus Omegnum, she shares a link with Aphelios and can channel her senses and power through his body.
* StanceSystem: [[MechanicallyUnusualFighter One of the most complicatedly-arranged in the game]]. Aphelios possesses 5 potential guns, but can only carry 2 at a time, with each combination significantly affecting his basic attacks, abilities, ultimate, and overall playstyle. Beyond what he currently has with him, he can't immediately swap to guns at will (he has to expend all their ammo), nor can he immediately choose which gun he'll get next (only long-term manipulation of his gun cycle, requiring a ton of foresight and strategizing). Most abilities are designed to synergize well with each other, so the challenge comes from [[DifficultButAwesome knowing how to make the best out of any given combo he has at any moment.]]
* WarriorMonk: An assassin who fights in service of the Lunari, and in turn, the moon.
* WhisperingGhosts: Every time Alune speaks, she's briefly preceded by the sound of incantation-like whispers. [[https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2019/11/champion-insights-aphelios/ According to Riot]], this was their method to denoting in-game that [[SpiritAdvisor Alune is communicating telepathically through the spirit realm]], working like a celestial equivalent to WalkieTalkieStatic.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MelissaHutchison (English), Inés Blázquez (European Spanish), Creator/CristinaHernandez (Mexican Spanish), Creator/AyaEndo (Japanese)

->''"One tribe, one people, one Freljord."''

Iceborn warmother of the Avarosan tribe, Ashe commands the most populous horde in the north. Stoic, intelligent, and idealistic, yet uncomfortable with her role as leader, she taps into the ancestral magics of her lineage to wield a bow of True Ice. With her people’s belief that she is the mythological hero Avarosa reincarnated, Ashe hopes to unify the Freljord once more by retaking their ancient, tribal lands.\\
\\
Ashe is a Marksman champion that exchanges lower overall damage for very high utility, with powerful crowd control effects and the ability to grant vision around the map.
* Her passive, ''Frost Shot'', causes Ashe's basic attacks to slow the target and deal bonus damage against enemies that are already slowed. This bonus damage is increased by Ashe's critical strike chance, with her critical strikes doubling the slow's strength instead of dealing increased damage.
* Her first ability, ''Ranger's Focus'', gains a stack whenever Ashe attacks. After reaching four stacks, Ashe can activate the ability to briefly gain increased attack speed and transform her basic attacks into a flurry of arrows that deal bonus damage.
* With her second ability, ''Volley'', Ashe fires a volley of arrows in a cone in the target direction, each damaging and applying her passive's doubled slow to the first enemy hit.
* Her third ability, ''Hawkshot'', passively stores charges, up to two. When activated, Ashe spends a charge to send a spirit hawk to scout any location on the map, granting vision of its surroundings as it travels and revealing the destination area for a few seconds after arriving.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Enchanted Crystal Arrow'', Ashe fires a massive ice arrow in a target direction with global range that shatters on impact with an enemy champion, damaging and stunning them for a duration based on how far the arrow traveled. Other nearby enemies are also damaged and applied her passive slow.

In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Ashe is a Tier 3 Glacial Ranger. Her ability, ''Enchanted Crystal Arrow'', fires an ice arrow that damages and stuns the first enemy hit, with the stun duration based an distance traveled by arrow. In season 2 her skin was changed to Amethyst Ashe, she was changed to a Tier 4 Crystal Ranger, and her ability was changed to ''Ranger's Focus'', which gives her bonus attack speed for 5 seconds and causes her attacks to fire a flurry of shots each doing a percentage of her attack damage.
----
* ActionGirl: Very much at home in the field.
* {{Adorkable}}:
** Her joke animation and quotes go around about how she boasts that she doesn't need an eye to shoot the enemy... and proceeds to hit her own eye while pulling the bowstrings with a meek "Ow!" and dropping her bow, and occasionally pouting as a result.
** This leads to a BrickJoke with her PROJECT skin. It includes an eye-patch over one eye.
** Her 2019-onward characterization has her be more serious and stoic for the most part, but she still has her moments, such as [[LampshadeHanging her commenting on and half-defending]] [[ExposedToTheElements her outfit]], or [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud saying "Thunk!"]] while firing her arrows.
* AnIcePerson: She can enchant her arrows with Frost Shot to slow enemies she hits and fire a huge Crystalline Arrow to completely freeze a target solid for a few seconds.
* ArcherArchetype: She's deadly with her bow, and has a serene and calm disposition. Her play style, as a Marksman, is more about staying behind the lines and pelting her enemies with frozen arrows.
* ArrangedMarriage: After being crowned Queen of Freljord she chose Tryndamere as her king to cement the alliance between the tribes of Freljord and his barbarian clan. Though at first, they only married for politics, [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage they do eventually have genuine affection for one another]].
* ArtEvolution: [[http://media.photobucket.com/image/league%20of%20legends%20early%20artwork%20ashe/tidude/Bowmaster_0.jpg?t=1302650613 From the beginning of the game]], then [[http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ashe.jpg this]], and after the Darius Patch [[http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2012/2012_05_23_ashe/Ashe_Splash_0_thumb.jpg here we are]]. Lots of love from Riot.
* AscendedMeme: After the Freljord patch, Ashe gained a few specific taunts for Sejuani, one of them referring to a video of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8cSYQ9EkOQ Rammus Taunting Everyone]] by [=StephanosRex=], where Rammus calls Sejuani "A fat pig riding a boar"...
-->'''Ashe''': [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/5/58/Ashe.tauntSejuani03.ogg So, which one's the pig?]]
* TheBeastmaster: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. One of her abilities sends an ice hawk to scout a nearby area, but other than that she doesn't use animals in combat.
* BoringButPractical: Considered one of the simplest characters to play, but undeniably one of the most effective. This is partially because, as damage-dealers go, she's a JackOfAllStats, with versatility that is basically unmatched by any other carry. Her passive gives her crowd control and makes catching fleeing champions easier, as well as making it more risky to attack her while she's in a favorable position. Her first skill is a self-buff for her autoattacks that increases her attack speed and also boosts her damage if she uses it with full stacks on her passive. Her second skill is a skillshot, meaning it can be used to check bushes or aim at hidden enemies, cover a retreat, and help her farm. Her third skill is a global scouting tool that can reveal a small portion of the map from any distance, letting her easily help her team by checking for potential ambushes from the enemy.
* ColdHam: She's rarely ever especially loud, yet many of her lines still manage to convey all of her conviction in her goals of uniting the Freljord.
* ContraltoOfDanger: While her original voiceovers had her sounding decently high-pitched, her [[VocalEvolution 2019 voice update]] shifted to her speaking in a deeper, yet somewhat hushed tones.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Very loudly and pointedly defied with the PROJECT Skin. Ashe is apparently now leading the movement amongst the PROJECT skins not to give into their programming and insists they are all still humans.
* DifficultButAwesome: Contrasting Boring But Practical, her ultimate is quite easy to use badly, but if used well can turn a fight around. In addition, her early game is very poor compared to other AD Carries, lacking any form of escape skill whilst simultaneously being one of the squishiest and slowest [=ADCs=] in the game. It's rather telling how useful she is in skilled hands by her status as one of the top-picked ranged carries in the Season 3 tournament scene.
* EtTuBrute: If one of her allies in the lore is on the enemy team she will not take it well.
* ExposedToTheElements: Not the worst offender, but she doesn't even wear pants. This was [[{{Retcon}} retroactively]] [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by her Iceborn heritage, making her immune to the cold, and her later voiceover [[LampshadeHanging lampshades the hell out of how odd it is.]]
-->''(taunting an enemy)'' "[[DeadpanSnarker This outfit makes total sense. Just look closer and think about it... less.]]"\\
''(taunting [[WalkingShirtlessScene Braum]])'' "So Braum, no shirt, huh? [[LampshadeHanging And I don't have pants]]. [[SarcasmMode Yay, Freljord]]!"
* {{Expy}}: As a white-haired beauty in a dark cape and hood who fires slowing arrows from her longbow, Ashe is one of Traxex, the Drow Ranger from ''Defense of the Ancients'' (however, aside from the slowing arrows, their kits actually have very little in common; Drow's kit is actually more similar to Vayne's).
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Of vikings.
* FantasticRacism: As much as she intends to unite the Freljord, she sees trolls as an enemy to humanity and has no qualms with the idea of destroying them.
-->''(encountering Trundle)'' "Trolls are the enemy of mankind. You will die like a beast!"
* GenerationXerox: An extreme example. Professor Lyte remarks that she looks almost identical to the legendary Avarosa, Ashe's ancestor and founder of her Avarosan faction in the Freljord.
* GlassCannon: All ADC's are this, but Ashe dials both aspects of the trope way up. She's one of the glassiest characters in the game (even some of the SquishyWizard champions look almost Tanky next to her), but if she gets her items, she can blow away half the enemy team in a fight before you realize what's happening.
* HarmlessFreezing: Crystalline Arrow deals a hefty amount of damage... but not enough to account for the fact her victim is (supposed to be) literally frozen solid for several seconds.
* HopeSpot: Tends to cause these. Did you just escape a gank? Good! Prepare the Recall immediately! ... Wait a minute, what is that giant arrow of ice coming to me from another side - '''BOOM!''' "You have been slain."
* {{Irony}}: "I only need one shot." After her rework, this is almost never true: she only starts dealing critical strike damage from the second shot onward, and her Q only reaches full potential after 5.
* IcyBlueEyes: Of the {{Elemental Eye Colors}} kind, since they're green in her Freljord skin.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Well, it can be tough for players to use at a decent distance, but it is not unknown for Ashe to make some ridiculous shots with her ultimate.
* LadyOfWar: She wields a bow and has a dignified and graceful personality, befitting her position as Queen of the Freljord, and her play style requires calmness, composure, and focus.
* MageMarksman: Of the Arcane Archer variety, who fires [[AnIcePerson icy magic arrows]] at her enemies. Notably, she has more of an emphasis on magical crowd control than most other marksmen, able to use arrows to slow and freeze opponents as well as shredding them apart.
* MagikarpPower: Ashe is one of the weakest early game characters from level 2 through probably around 12 or so. But late game, Ashe has a stun, permanent slows, and can kite every tank to hell and back.
* MechanicallyUnusualClass: After her rework, Ashe does not crit any more, at least not normally. Instead, whenever she crits she applies double her usual on-hit slow (from 20-40% to 40-60%). Additionally, ''all'' of her attacks against enemies she's slowed do a fixed amount of additional damage that scales with her crit chance. As a result, rather than spiking the opponent with hard bursts of damage whenever she scores a crit, she has a more consistent higher DPS, ensuring that crit is still a vital stat for her.
* {{Multishot}}: ''Volley'' fires a cone of arrows, dealing damage and applying ''Frost Shot's'' slow to all targets hit.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Her hair was formerly a strawberry-blonde color, before turning white when she found her True Ice bow.
* OhCrap: She has one of these moments in the [[https://i.redd.it/uylfz3d6f5k11.jpg Shadow Assassin Kayn login screen.]] Knowing Kayn's damage and Ashe's low defenses, it's safe to assume it resulted in a pretty brutal death for her.
* PeekABangs: In her older artwork and model. This visual trait was dropped after her model was remade with corresponding splash art.
* PhlebotinumRebel: PROJECT: Ashe is a cyborg who overcame her mental conditioning and now fights for those who are still human.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Was a literal princess, who, as we know, is an ActionGirl. Has been crowned queen of Freljord after managing to have the region be recognized as a state by the Institute of War, choosing Tryndamere as king to solidify the pact between their people to maintain stability in the area.
* SideBoob: Subtle but it is there.
* SkillGateCharacter: Acts as a decent lesson on how to play Attack Damage Carry. Also teaches map awareness--which is important since, using her ultimate, she is one of the very few characters who can win (or help win) a fight without actually being ''in'' it. And finally, earlier versions of the game's new-player tutorial had her as the Champ you controlled.
* TheSouthpaw: Her official art zig-zags on her laterality. In gameplay, she holds her bow with her right hand, ie the way a left hander would.
* SpamAttack: After buffs, her Volley's cooldown scales down from 14 seconds at rank 1 to a mere 4 seconds at rank 5 (even less with CDR). From level 9 onwards she's almost a one-woman RainOfArrows.
* TechnicalPacifist: Ashe is against violence and mostly promotes peace to rule and unite the clans, although she's very deadly when she takes action. Her lore explains that she overcame her desire to avenge her mother over uniting the Freljord through peace. This attitude is what makes her rivals with Sejuani.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Sejuani's Tomboy, she is more peace-loving and graceful in battle, and prefers to pelt the enemies from afar with her bow. Her voice is also noticeably more high-pitched than Sejuani, and she sports longer hair.
* TrickArrow: Ice arrows that can slow or stun.
* VocalEvolution: Ashe's main voiceover was updated in late 2019, vastly increasing her amount of voicelines to be brought up to modern standards. In addition, her characterization was shifted from sounding youthful and bright to something more [[TheStoic stoic]] [[ColdHam yet grandiose]].
* WinterRoyalLady: Her Queen skin shows off her royal garb.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade A on 4 out of 6 of her skins, including her Classic skin.

[[folder:Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger]]
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aurelion_sol_originalloading.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[-[[http://l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/pbe/projects/lol_air_client/releases/0.0.4.54/files/assets/sounds/en_US/champions/AurelionSol.mp3 Naturally.]]-] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NeilKaplan (English), Fernando Hernández (European Spanish), Idzi Dutkiewicz (Mexican Spanish), Creator/TakayaKuroda (Japanese)

->''"Cower. Worship. Marvel. They are all appropriate responses."''

Aurelion Sol once graced the vast emptiness of the cosmos with celestial wonders of his own devising. Now, he is forced to wield his awesome power at the behest of a space-faring empire that tricked him into servitude. Desiring a return to his star-forging ways, Aurelion Sol will drag the very stars from the sky, if he must, in order to regain his freedom.\\
\\
Aurelion Sol is a Battle Mage champion who zones his foes through careful positioning to inflict sustained damage, while also bringing excellent map-wide mobility.
* His passive, ''Center of the Universe'', are three stars that orbit Aurelion Sol's body, damaging enemies they pass through.
* With his first ability, ''Starsurge'', Aurelion Sol fires a newborn star in a target direction that explodes when the ability is reactivated or it moves past his stars' maximum orbital range, damaging and stunning nearby enemies. Moving close to the star nurtures it, increasing the size of the explosion and stun duration while increasing Aurelion Sol's movement speed.
* His second ability, ''Celestial Expansion'', passively increases the damage of his ''Center of the Universe'' stars. When activated, Aurelion Sol pushes the stars to their maximum orbital range, increasing their damage and rotation speed for a few seconds. Afterwards, the stars retract back to their regular orbital range, granting Aurelion Sol a short burst of movement speed upon doing so.
* His third ability, ''Comet of Legend'', can only be activated when out of combat, making Aurelion Sol pull in his starts and take off in a target direction, flying over terrain until he reactivates the ability or takes damage.
* With his ultimate ability, ''Voice of Light'', Aurelion Sol exhales starfire in a target direction, damaging and slowing enemies it hits. Enemies close to him are knocked back to his stars' maximum orbital range.
\\
Aurelion Sol's alternate skins include [[PlayingWithFire Ashen Lord]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/50/Aurelion_Sol_AshenLordLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160310000826 Aurelion Sol]] and Mecha Aurelion_Sol.\\
\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Aurelion Sol is a Tier 4 Dragon Sorcerer. His ability is ''Voice of Light'', which sends a wave of starfire that damages all enemies in a straight line. He was removed in season 2.
----

* AGodAmI: Well, he makes stars, so it's well-founded. Combine with the fact that he's ''the'' oldest being in League's universe.
** However, according to Zoe, between some and all of his reputation is made up. Then again, this is coming from [[UnreliableNarrator Z]][[CloudCuckoolander oe]].
-->'''Zoe''': Said he made all the stars...and the humans believed him?!
** That being said he is explicitly not a god. The closest being to god known to the players is Nagakabouros. Who Aurelion is significantly weaker than.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: In his introductory teaser, Aurelion is MASSIVE, able to hold a star in one palm and then crush it. Malphite is barely anything to this guy. [[UnitsNotToScale Naturally, this doesn't translate into the game.]]
* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Aurelion Sol'', which, if derived from the Latin ''aureus'', could translate directly into Golden Sun.
* BadassBaritone: His voice is very deep and rich.
* BerserkButton: Targon, and especially Pantheon. His taunts towards most champions are just insulting and teasing them, whereas his taunt for Pantheon is a threat dripping with hatred.
* BreathWeapon: Par the course; he is a dragon, after all. He breathes white starfire.
* CallBack / ContinuityNod: During his announcement teaser, [[http://imgur.com/wErQIRh there's an insignificant mountain with a campfire]] that appears to be the same one from Bard's [[http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/champion-preview/wonder-above announcement short story, "The Wonder Above."]] [[note]]As a bonus, both champions were designed by the same creator, Rabid Llama.[[/note]]
* CameFromTheSky: Where do you think a ''space'' dragon would come from?
* CaptainErsatz: Aurelion's lead designer specifically set out to make [[DefiedTrope his personality distinctive from other dragons in popular]] culture, such as Smaug from Film/TheHobbit trilogy and Paarthurnax from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''.
* CardboardPrison: A variation. He's being controlled by the Targonians, but their complete dominance over him is slowly waning. It's only a matter of time before he's free.
* CelestialBody: Looks to be half-made of space. His body even turns into a miniature constellation upon death!
* {{Combos}}: His ''Starsurge'' and ''Comet of Legend'' abilities grant him a fairly unique interaction, in that while he's normally outpaced by ''Starsurge'' and thus cannot keep up with it for very long to expand it, if he uses it and then sets after it with ''Comet of Legend'', he'll stay alongside it and massively increase its radius. This is, of course, highly telegraphed to anybody watching and best used for surprise ganks.
* CoolMask: He doesn't normally wear one, but he seems to want one, judging by his reaction to purchasing [[MaskOfPower Liandry's Torment]]:
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': If Bard and Kindred can pull off wearing a mask, so can I.
* TheDandy: An odd example, what with being a star dragon, but many of his quotes have him referring to his own beauty and fashionability and he shows something of a distaste for direct combat.
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': (Upon purchasing Rabadon's Deathcap) [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/fa/AurelionSol.itemRabadonsDeathcap01.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20160309222009 Hats are always fashionable.]]
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': (Upon dying) [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/4/49/AurelionSol.death01.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20160309225542 Alas, I am simply too beautiful for this world.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[BaitandSwitch His reveal trailer made him out to be some kind of evil, destructive tyrant made of the dark sky itself, but the lore reveals he's actually not that bad]]. He doesn't particularly ''care'' for mortals, but he's not actively malicious.
* DeadpanSnarker: To an almost absurd degree. One could assume him being so powerful is the main reason he's capable of taking things so non-seriously. Best illustrated with his unique taunt towards Tryndamere, which is positively dripping with snark.
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/95/AurelionSol.tauntTryndamere01.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20160309222740 Galaxies exist by my will... But, yes, that is CERTAINLY an impressive sword.]]
* TheDreaded: Appears to be so to the Rakkoran people. Pantheon's arrival in the mortal realm was supposedly a sign of impending danger, which is likely what Aurelion Sol embodies.
* {{Expy}}: His kit's main mechanic should remind people of [[VideoGame/Dota2 Wisp]].
* FirstPersonSmartass: [[http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/site/mount-targon/aurelion-sol.html His lore story in the Targon event]] is entirely from his point of view, and is ''completely dripping'' with snark towards those he views as "lesser beings" (read: everything else).
-->''"The few more advanced life forms-–and I use that description loosely-–gaze up and jot down my coordinates in scientific almanacs instead of using me as prophecy fodder."''
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In the lore, Aurelion Sol is ridiculously powerful, able to create stars and single-handedly destroy an entire valley. In the game, he can be killed by a hamster with a blowgun.
** Possibly averted, as his short story mentions leaving a piece of himself on Runeterra after he destroys the Void rift. We may be playing as that piece, rather than the genuine dragon-god.
* GodIsGood: He is, along with Bard, one of the closest things to a god in the League universe, and while he's largely unconcerned with most life, he's only actively malevolent to his captors, the Targonians, for quite a good reason, too. He even speaks quite passionately about all the love he put into creating the cosmos, and at least acknowledges there ARE certainly good qualities to sentient life - he's simply more annoyed and unimpressed by the mediocrity of most primitive life.
* GodzillaThreshold: The Void is opening a massive rift into Runeterra. [[SummonBiggerFish Summon Space Dragon]] to throw a star at it.
* HumansAreAverage: Lampshaded in a taunt:
-->''[[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/13/AurelionSol.tauntHuman03.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20160313155035 "As far as fauna goes, humans strike a firm... middle."]]''
* HurlItIntoTheSun: {{Inverted}}. [[RussianReversal He hurls suns into it]].
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: A fully playable dragon champion, and one that came from space and creates stars!
* IShallTauntYou: This guy make ''Tahm Kench'' sound encouraging.
* KickTheDog: His taunt towards [[TheEeyore poor]] [[IJustWantToHaveFriends Amumu]] could be the cruelest one in the game.
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/f1/AurelionSol.tauntAmumu01.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20160309222600 I am... overwhelmed by an emotion when you are not around. It is called... happiness.]]
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Aurelion's taunt for Amumu mentioned above? Amumu's main damage source, is his [=AoE=] ability, ''Despair''. The lore for Amumu implies that ''Despair'' has [[EmotionBomb everything near Amumu become sad as well, slowly wearing away at their life force]]. Aurelion's not being a jerk (well, not completely), but pointing out that when Amumu's not nearby, he's not depressed because of the ability.
* MadeASlave: He tried to establish contact with the Targonites, they awarded him a RestrainingBolt. Now the influence of the crown over him is weakening. And [[BullyingADragon he is seriously pissed]].
* MeaningfulName: Aurelion Sol is comprised of two words that derive from Latin. ''Aurelion'' may be an adaptation of the Latin name, "Aurelius", meaning "Golden". Combined with the Latin word "Sol", his name would mean "Golden Sun". Aurelion may also be a portmanteau of "Aurum" and English word "Lion", combining to mean ''Golden Lion''. It is also interesting to note the difference between Ao Shin, which is Oriental, and Aurelion Sol, which is Latin, and all the while preserving the initials. Additionally, '''Sol''' Invictus was the a Roman Sun God which cult was made in an official cult alongside the traditional Roman cults during the reign of Marcus '''Aurelius'''. His initials double as a reference as his origins as his cancelled predecessor Ao Shin.
* MisanthropeSupreme:[[invoked]] {{Averted}}. He may be annoyed by those ''lowly lifeforms'', but he doesn't think KillAllHumans despite all the humiliation suffered at hands of the last civilization he tried to befriend. His hatred is directed towards Targon and Targon alone. WordOfGod is that [[http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/es/c/gameplay-balance/cfEdVAJd-welcome-to-the-aurelion-sol-qa?comment=00880000 the right mix of personality, passion, and intelligence would endear a person to Aurelion Sol.]]
--> '''Aurelion Sol''': [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a0/AurelionSol.move32.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20160309222250 Perhaps there is more to this world than I thought - not much, but enough.]]
** He found a few of these on some of the game's more deranged, crazy, or just ''different'' characters, including [[MadArtist Jhin]], [[AttentionWhore Draven,]] [[TerroristsWithoutACause Jinx,]] and few others, like Shyvana, are "almost interesting."
---> '''Aurelion Sol''' towards Jhin: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/8b/AurelionSol.tauntJhin.ogg Imagine what you could do with a larger canvas.]]
---> '''Aurelion Sol''' towards Draven: [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/4/44/AurelionSol.tauntDraven01.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20160309222604 You would make an interesting dragon.]]
* MisappliedPhlebotinum: He's confused by the uses people give to his stars.
--> '''Aurelion Sol''': [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/e1/AurelionSol.joke06.ogg I made the stars to illuminate the perpetual nothing, and mortals use them for... relationship advice.]]\\

* NotSoAboveItAll:
** Normally very high and mighty as if everything around him is beneath his notice, but buy him an Orb of Winter:
---> '''Aurelion Sol''': [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/d7/AurelionSol.itemOrbofWinter01.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20160309222008 A snow globe? Perfect for my collect -- to destroy you. Destroy you!]]

'''Aurelion Sol''': [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/50/AurelionSol.spellI3.ogg Boop.]]
* OhCrap: His masters have one in his short story upon realizing he's potentially breaking free of their control over him.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent:
** He implies he's not the only one of his kind, although he may be the most powerful of them. So, in addition to bestial wyverns and draconic half-breeds, Runeterra's universe is host to massive, space-faring serpentine dragons.
** [[https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/cfEdVAJd-welcome-to-the-aurelion-sol-qa?comment=003e0000 According to Senior Narrative Writer FauxSchizzle]], the lore team toyed with the idea of him having sister dragons that were responsible for other cosmic phenomena, including gravity or dark matter. This concept appears to have been dropped, with Aurelion Sol currently being the only star-forging space dragon, though a later interaction with Swain has alluded to this by asking "[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/3/38/Swain_131.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20180124090812 What is this about... siblings?]]"
* PaintingTheFrostOnWindows: Forging the stars on space.
* PlayingWithFire: His release skin, Ashen Lord Aurelion Sol, uses fire as the central theme, making him more like a classical dragon.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: In his short story, he's called upon to close a void rift while he's got more control of his powers. He decides to ''annihilate it'' and the surrounding valley. Let's listen to his own description of the event:
-->''Trees splinter. Rivers evaporate. The mountain walls of the valley crumble in smoky avalanches. The tireless laborers erecting their Sun Disc, the soldiers taking the hill, the stargazers, the worshipers, the terrified, the doomsday prophets, the hopeless, the rising kings… all those who beheld the streaking comet with selfish eyes witness the ensuing supernova as an early dawn. Across this pitiful globe, my radiance turns darkest night to blinding day. What fictions will they conjure to explain this phenomenon?\\
Even my Targonian masters have rarely witnessed such a display of my power. Certainly, no terrestrial world has ever born scars as severe as what is left of that once-verdant valley. When I am finished, nothing remains.\\
Not even this incarnation of Pantheon. I can’t say I’ll miss her or her mindless barking.''
* PetTheDog: Not to a character, but to the stars. He sees them as a father would their children and genuinely feels despair every time one of them dies.
* PokeThePoodle: He refuses to pay with gold for anything, and apparently puts it all on Pantheon's tab.
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/8f/AurelionSol.item01.ogg Put it on my tab. The name's Pantheon, with a P.]]
* PowerEchoes: His voice has a very notable reverb upon it.
* {{Pun}}: Aurelion Sol can be described as self-centered. The name of his passive, where stars orbit around him? ''Center of the Universe.''
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Occasionally, whenever he hits an enemy with his passive, he will say "boop" [[TheComicallySerious while still retaining]] [[BadassBaritone his deep,]] [[PowerEchoes echo-y voice.]]
* RecycledInSPACE: Meta-wise, Aurelion Sol's original conception was as a sky and storm dragon champion named Ao Shin. Due to technical difficulties, he was canned, but he was then reworked into the space dragon we all know and love now.
* SmugSuper: His introduction paints him as such, casually creating and smashing a star as he talks about how adorable people are when they beg for mercy. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRRofGLTsv8 His quotes drive the point in even further]]. His lore story for the Targon Event is told entirely from his point of view, and he ''cannot'' care less for the creatures he deals with.
* SpaceX: Space [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragon]].
* StarPower: What else would you expect the Star Forger to fight with?
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/ab/AurelionSol.attack19.ogg I'm going to throw a star at you now. Good luck.]]
* SummonBiggerFish: Aurelion Sol is Pantheon's answer to the void.
* TimeAbyss: As indicated by his quote for purchasing Rod of Ages.
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/02/AurelionSol.itemRodofAges03.ogg It's been around for ages? So... Almost new?]]
** And confirmed in his lore.
--> ''The being now known as Aurelion Sol was already ancient by the time stellar debris first coalesced into worlds. Born in the first breath of creation, he roamed the vast nothingness, seeking to fill a canvas of incalculable breadth with marvels whose twinkling spectra brought him considerable delight and pride.''
* UnitsNotToScale: Probably the most extreme example in the game. Maokai is actually the size of an actual tree, Rek'sai is actually the size of a house, and Malphite is actually the size of a mountain - Aurelion seems to be ''planet-sized'' at the minimum, as shown in his introduction video, while his splash art makes him slightly larger than a mountain. During gameplay, he's not that much bigger than any other champion, in fact: he's smaller than some other champions.
* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: What humans see is apparently Sol playing to their mythologies, and implies his actual form is something far grander.
-->'''Aurelion Sol''': "They call me a comet. They call me a dragon. They have no words for my true form."

[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/azir_originalloading19.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[-[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/ed/Azir_Select.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20140827021607 Shurima! Your emperor has returned!]]-] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TravisWillingham (English), Héctor Checa (European Spanish), José Arenas (Mexican Spanish), Creator/FumihikoTachiki (Japanese)

->''“Shurima was once the glory of Runeterra. I will make it so again.”''

Azir was a mortal emperor of Shurima in a far distant age, a proud man who stood at the cusp of immortality. His hubris saw him betrayed and murdered at the moment of his greatest triumph, but now, millennia later, he has been reborn as an Ascended being of immense power. With his buried city risen from the sand, Azir seeks to restore Shurima to its former glory.\\
\\
Azir is a Specialist champion that summons and manipulates ancient Shuriman soldiers to fight for him, using them to control the battlefield and establish shifting zones of power.
* His passive, ''Shurima's Legacy'', allows Azir to raise a ''Sun Disc'' at the location of a destroyed tower, which behaves like a regular turret except it deals increased damage, grants Azir gold from kills and loses armor if Azir moves away from it. This effect has a long cooldown before it can be used again.
* The basis of Azir's kit is his second ability, ''Arise!'', which passively stores charges, up to two, while also granting Azir bonus attack speed. When activated, Azir spends a charge to summon a temporary, untargetable ''Sand Soldier'' at a target location, which will disappear if Azir moves too far away from it. Azir can use his basic attacks to instead order ''Sand Soldiers'' to stab at enemies close them with their lances, damaging all enemies in a line.
* With his first ability, ''Conquering Sands'', Azir commands all ''Sand Soldiers'' to dash to a target location, damaging and slowing enemies they pass through.
* With his third ability, ''Shifting Sands'', Azir dashes to one of his ''Sand Soldiers'', shielding himself and damaging enemies in his path. If he collides with an enemy champion, he instantly stops and gains a charge of ''Arise!''
* His ultimate ability, ''Emperor's Divide'', summons a phalanx of shield-bearing soldiers that charge in a target direction, damaging and knocking back enemies in their path. The soldiers then stand as an impassable wall for a few seconds afterwards, preventing enemies (but not allies) from moving through them.
\\
Azir's alternate skins include [[SpaceIsMagic Galactic]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/d1/Azir_GalacticLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160523235233 Azir]]. [[{{Necromancer}} Gravelord]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/13/Azir_GravelordLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160523235256 Azir]], [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming SKT T1]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/c/c6/Azir_SKTT1Loading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160725202524 Azir]], and [[EasternZodiac Warring Kingdoms]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/8b/Azir_WarringKingdomsLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161206204422 Azir]].\\
\\
In season 2 of ''Teamfight Tactics,'' Azir is a Tier 2 Desert Summoner. His ability is ''Arise!'', summoning a Sand Soldier near an enemy that lasts for a few seconds and attacks whenever Azir does, hitting enemies in a line.
----
* ActionDad: According to his "Arisen" lore, he had a son, a daughter and a third child on the way at the time of Shurima's destruction. With the addition of his expanded lore, it turns out he had children with slaves and harem girls as well.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Azir's gameplay is based around him being a MookMaker, with one ability summoning sand men, and the other two interacting with them. As a result you can only take his W at 1st level, to prevent having an effectively dead level.
* ArchEnemy: Xerath is apparently his, seeing as how Azir has a total of ''SEVEN'' unique taunts for Xerath. According to his lore (in which Xerath betrayed him and consequently doomed Shurima), this is completely justified.
* BackFromTheDead: He was killed by Xerath during the Ascension ritual but was brought back with Sivir's blood when she herself was betrayed.
* BadassBoast: About 80% of his lines (that are not focused on Shurima) are this.
-->'''Azir:''' The name "Azir" shall once again ''crack the skies!''
* BadassFamily: Sivir is his only living descendant by a millennia-worth of generations.
* BaitAndSwitch: A weird case. Riot teased that the 2014 Ultimate skin and mentioned Shurima, leading players to assume a Shuriman Champion would get the ultimate skin. Turns out, the Shurima mention was a fake-out and tease for Azir, and ''not'' the Ultimate skin
* BenevolentMageRuler: Azir was, indeed, a benevolent ruler. A dictator, of course, given how empires work, but he knew and did what was best for his people, putting them before anything else... even if he was a little arrogant.
** This is further displayed in Xerath's Unbound lore. Moments before being killed and Shurima being destroyed, he announces to his friend that he has finally given Xerath and all of the other slaves the freedom he promised so long ago.
* BigDamnHeroes: Azir's the one who saves Sivir from bleeding to death, which in turn, triggers the rest of the ritual that transforms him into an ascended being.
* BlingOfWar: All of his armor is gold, yes. Azir is very blinging.
* TheChosenOne: Kinda. It's not said outright, but Nasus says something like this in the Shurima: Rise of the Ascended video.
-->''Azir can save them all.''
* DifficultButAwesome: Azir has one of the most uniquely difficult kits in the game, regarded by the community as one of, if not THE hardest to play champion in the game, among the likes of Syndra or Orianna. Despite having a decent poke, the high mana cost of his spells and his low attack speed make his early game extremely difficult. Also, his attack pattern is very unpredictable, so it's hard for him to coordinate well with his team. However, the sheer damage he can put out late game and his zone control means he is potentially one of the strongest ability power carries around, and as a result, he's become a popular pick for professional level play by players who can properly utilize his STAGGERING long-range DPS and zone control to carry any game where he doesn't get shut down.
* DoomedHometown: Shurima, as an empire, seems to be this to him.
* EasternZodiac: While his Warring Kingdom skin is from a line that started out mostly as a ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' ShoutOut, he's also the primary representative for 2017's Lunar Revel, with him representing the Year of the Rooster. Amusingly, he himself quite fits into some typical traits under the sign: Authoritative, powerful, and ''very'' prideful.
* Myth/EgyptianMythology: Like Nasus and Renekton before him. Specifically for Azir, he's pretty clearly based on [[TopGod Ra]] and/or Horus.
* ElementalPowers: In three flavors too!
** DishingOutDirt: He summons soldiers made out of sand.
** LightEmUp: The Sun Discs he makes and his basic attacks use light from his scepter.
** ThePowerOfTheSun: The aforementioned Sun Disc.
* TheEmperor: It's in his title. He's also stated to be Shurima's greatest Emperor.
* {{Foil}}: To his nemesis Xerath. Storywise, they were the best of friends in their youth, but Azir was the heir to an empire while Xerath was a slave under its oppression. Gameplaywise, both are mages who attack from a distance, but again this is different contrast of styles as Azir is a minion-mancer who utilizes sand warriors to attack while Xerath takes no mind in doing the action himself when sniping from afar.
** A very interesting case can be seen with Taliyah. Both champions are from Shurima, with Azir the highly Emperor of all from the ancient times and Taliyah the lowly peasant of nothing of the present day. Both have references to birds, Taliyah is the little sparrow and Azir is, literally, a giant eagle. Even their appearances are very striking, as while both have similar clothing of Shuriman origin, Azir's is more regal and elements of gold at the tips of his drapes while Taliyah's is more common, tattered, and made of unrefined, rocky minerals. In the style of gameplay, both use the elements of the earth for their abilities, with Azir summoning warriors made from sand while Taliyah takes the actual earth from the ground.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: In-universe, from Xerath's perspective. Kept Xerath as a slave for years after promising to free him, causing Xerath to resent him and plot against him to achieve freedom by stealing Ascension from Azir. By the time Azir revealed to Xerath that he always did intend to free him - on the day of Ascension - it was too late for either of them to stop Xerath's plan.
--> '''Xerath:''' ''"Too late, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone friend]]. Too late, [[TrueCompanions brother]]. Far too [[HeelFaceDoorSlam late]] for us all."''
* HeroicBSOD: Gets a ''nasty'' one when he witnesses the final moments of his empire, people and family[[note]]Although, Sivir is his last direct descendant, so whether or not Azir had an illegitimate child (or children) that wasn't/weren't there during Shurima's last moments or one or more of his legitimate children actually survived isn't made clear... Either way, she had to have been descended from at least one of his children.[[/note]].
* IGaveMyWord: Even if it took years to accomplish, Azir never forgot his promise to Xerath about freeing him and outlawing slavery. PlayedForDrama when Xerath believed he forgot and sought to kill him by sabotaging the Ascension Ritual... only to find out that Azir kept his promise at the last minute.
* IShallTauntYou: Fitting for a powerful Emperor. He also has the highest amount of taunts in the game currently, and has a total of 15, with 12 unique taunts for Renekton, Sivir and Xerath.
* LargeHam: Even by this game's standards. Azir has absolutely no inside voice.
* LongRangeFighter: His auto-attack range can effectively get up to 1200 units. For comparison, Twitch has the longest range of any ranged Champion with his Ultimate, and his is only 850 units.
* MagikarpPower: His early game definitely isn't great, and he struggles against a lot of common mids. Give him some farm, however, and he turns into a relentless pushing machine that can annihilate towers with frightening ease and put out horrifying amounts of damage from a great distance and with no small amount of safety. The other main barrier to this, of course, is the fact that he has an extraordinarily high learning curve and will absolutely be a liability if the person playing him isn't completely up on him.
* MeaningfulName: Azir's name in Urdu would be transliterated as "Asir", which means "Chosen".
* MookMaker: As an Emperor, most of his abilities are based on his subjects attacking enemies, not him directly.
* PatrioticFervor: Azir takes the "most times saying their home in their dialogue" title from Garen. He says "Shurima" a total of 38 times in his dialogue.
* PhysicalGod: His first act upon Ascension is to near-instantly rebuild/repair the ruins of Shurima.
* PoorCommunicationKills: He promised to free Xerath from slavery as a child... And possibly kept on saying that he intended to keep his promise. He thought Xerath was [[HappinessInSlavery happy as his slave]] and thus wasn't in a rush to grant him his freedom before he could make a symbolic gesture just prior to his Ascension - the truth couldn't be further away, and by the time Azir had his royal guards salute Xerath as he granted not only Xerath, but all Shuriman slaves their freedom, Xerath's resentment for the unkept promise had already put wheels in motion that neither of them could stop. Azir's newest short story explains the situation better:
-->''He instituted reforms to better the lives of slaves and privately developed a plan to overturn millennia of tradition and eventually free them all. He kept his plans secret, even from Xerath, and the issue of slavery would prove to be a continual bone of contention between them. The empire had been built on the back of slavery, and many of the great noble houses depended on enforced labor for their vast wealth and power. Such monolithic institutions could not be overturned overnight, and Azir’s plans would be undone were they to become common knowledge. Despite Azir’s desire to name Xerath his brother, he could not do so until all Shurima’s slaves were free.\\
\\
The day of the ritual finally came and Azir marched toward the Dias of Ascension, flanked by thousands of his warriors and tens of thousands of his subjects. The brothers Renekton and Nasus were absent, having been dispatched by Xerath to deal with an emergent threat, but still Azir would not turn from what he saw as his great destiny. He climbed to the great golden disc atop the temple at the heart of the city and in the moments before the sun priests began the ritual, he turned to Xerath and finally freed him. And not just him, but all slaves…\\
\\
Xerath was stunned into speechlessness, but Azir was not yet done. He embraced Xerath and named him his eternal brother, as he had promised he would all those years ago. Azir turned as the priests began the ritual to bring down the awesome power of the sun. Azir was unaware that Xerath had studied more than just history and philosophy in his quest for knowledge. He had learned the dark arts of sorcery, all the while nursing a desire for freedom that had grown like a cancer into a burning hatred.''
* {{Pride}}: His quotes regarding himself ''ooze'' with this.
* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: [[StaffOfAuthority Scepter]]? Check. [[CoolCrown Crown]]-[[CoolMask Mask]] [[BuffySpeak thing]]? Check.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Sort of. His attacks involve summoning minions made of sand for him though.
** Played completely straight lore-wise. He's making quite an effort in restoring his empire to its former glory.
* StaffOfAuthority: But of course, an Emperor wouldn't be caught dead without one!
* StealthPun: His taunts and quotes make him seem a bit.... [[IncrediblyLamePun cocky]].
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: His eyes can be clearly seen glowing a bright golden-yellow.
** Averted with his in-game model where he has blue eyes for some reason.
* TheUnfavorite: According to his expanded lore, Azir was the youngest and least favored of his father's children
* VestigialEmpire: He's the last of the Shuriman Empire, and its greatest ruler to boot.
* WasOnceAMan: He's now an ascendant, like Nasus, Renekton and Xerath, taking the form of a falcon.
** Lampshaded and PlayedForLaughs with two of his jokes: one with him joking about a "pigeon walking into a bar", and the other with him actually cooing like a pigeon.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Was close friends with Xerath since childhood. Until Shurima's downfall, that is...
* YoungestChildWins: Averted. According to his expanded lore, Azir was the youngest of his siblings, but the least favorite. This put his life in jeopardy when his older siblings were all assassinated, as his own father was trying to conceive more sons so that he could have an excuse to kill him.

[[caption-width-right:308:[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/7/7d/Bard_Select.ogg *...*]] ]]

->''"The chimes of his footsteps are echoes of change."''
-->-- '''Ryze'''
\\
A traveler from beyond the stars, Bard is an agent of serendipity who fights to maintain a balance where life can endure the indifference of chaos. Many Runeterrans sing songs that ponder his extraordinary nature, yet they all agree that the cosmic vagabond is drawn to artifacts of great magical power. Surrounded by a jubilant choir of helpful spirit meeps, it is impossible to mistake his actions as malevolent, as Bard always serves the greater good... in his own odd way.\\
\\
Bard is a Catcher champion who is encouraged to roam around the map, supporting his allies wherever they are in need with his unique assortment of utility effects.
* His passive, ''Traveler's Call'', has two separate effects:
** ''Ancient Chimes'' causes sacred chimes to periodically spawn at random locations around the map. Collecting a chime grants Bard experience, restores some mana and increases his movement speed for a few seconds.
** ''Meeps'' causes small spirits to attach themselves to Bard every few seconds, his basic attacks consuming one spirit to deal bonus damage. For every five chimes Bard collects, the spirits gain bonus damage and additional effects: a slow, area-of-effect-damage, faster spirit generation and a higher number of maximum spirits.
* With his first ability, ''Cosmic Bindings'', Bard fires a burst of spirit energy in a target direction, damaging and slowing the first enemy it hits. The energy then passes through the target; if it collides with terrain it will stun the original target, while if it collides with a second enemy it will damage them and stun both targets.
* His second ability, ''Caretaker's Shrine'', conjures a small shrine at a target location that heals and increases the movement speed of the first allied champion to walk over it. The heal increases in power the longer the shrine remains on the field, but enemy champions can destroy the shrine by walking over it.
* With his third ability, ''Magical Journey'', Bard opens a one-way portal on a nearby wall that both allied and enemy champions can use to travel to the other side of it, with allies traveling much faster than enemies.
* His ultimate ability, ''Tempered Fate'', throws a sphere of spirit energy at a target location, briefly putting all targets inside (allied and enemy) in stasis, preventing them from moving, dealing or taking damage.
\\
Bard's alternate skins are [[TheLostWoods Elderwood]] [[http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/File:Bard_ElderwoodLoading.jpg Bard]], [[AnIcePerson Snow Day]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/f9/Bard_SnowDayLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160523235452 Bard]] and [[TabletopGames Bard]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/3/3e/Bard_BardBardLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161031200740 Bard]].
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: Bard is pretty bulky compared to other champions. It doesn't stop him from flipping and spinning through the air as he wants.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The "form" we are seeing now is the form Bard typically takes on when interacting with a corporeal plane. He's really a disembodied spirit.
* AnIcePerson: Snow Day Bard.
* BadassBeard: Sports a long white one.
* BigFun: We may not know what he's saying, but he looks like he's having a lot of fun on the Fields of Justice.
* BigGood: Seems to have shades of this.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[ZigzaggedTrope Kind of]], depending on how you look at it. In his video ''Bard: Mountain'', a village is being attacked by whom many assume to be Noxians[[note]]In the lore, it's mentioned that Noxians typically wear dark armor[[/note]], who are after a mysterious, but apparently invaluable, stone. However, instead of saving the village specifically, Bard takes away the stone to a shrine above the village[[note]]Which was what the old man in the same video was trying to do, but was seemingly killed in the process[[/note]] when he senses its power being used. See BlueAndOrangeMorality below for further explanation.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Bard's thinking operates at several orders higher than those that we can understand, so the timing of his interventions seems somewhat arbitrary to outside observers. If he's helping, it's generally because doing so will prevent some sort of greater cosmic catastrophe from happening in the distant future or in another dimension.
* CoolMask: Although, that could just be his actual face.
* DifficultButAwesome: Tempered Fate and Magical Journey require precise timing to use effectively. If the ultimate is used correctly, it can help save important teammates or secure important objectives such as Baron or dragon. Inappropriate use of the ultimate or his Magical Journey can actually backfire and help the enemy team.
* {{Expy}}: While his design itself is unique, his abilities bear a suspiciously similar resemblance to abilities from other [=MOBAs=]. Magical Journey is very similar to Janus' Portal when used on a wall from ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}'' (with the added ability for enemies to move through it), while his Tempered Fate is nearly identical to Zerataul's first ultimate from ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' (although Bard can affect himself while Zeratul cannot). ''Cosmic Bindings'' is also very similar to Windranger's ''Shackleshot'' from ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'', minus the slow.
** Many people have compared his design to something out of a Creator/StudioGhibli movie. The Meeps have also been compared to the kodama from ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'' (a well-known movie by the same studio).
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: "Bard" is not his real name, but a name that was given to him by the people of Runeterra. His real name is [[TheUnpronounceable something much harder to pronounce]].
* EverythingsBetterwithPenguins: Snow Day Bard exchanges his meeps for a flock of penguins.
* {{Flight}}: The movement speed boost from the first half of his passive, ''Ancient Chimes'', makes him fly around for a short time.
* GodIsGood: Is the closest thing the game has to a god (alongside [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Aurelion Sol]]), and is probably the most overtly good champion in the entire game. He rivals only Leona, Taric and Braum in terms of moral fortitude. However, he is not invincible and his morality is often seen as "neutral" by many, considering his only concern is preventing disasters on a universal scale.
* InformedFlaw: According to his own champion reveal, Bard is weak against Rek'Sai due to her ability to detect him while he's roaming, allowing her to swiftly come in and kill him. In practice, Bard should easily be able to escape Rek'Sai by simply taking a portal through a wall and stunning her if she tries to follow him.
* LevitatingLotusPosition: Is seen doing this in his splash art and recall animation.
* MagicMusic: He has what appears to be a magical flute that he uses to cast his abilities.
** The ball that sits on the end of the flute is what is called a "harmonic key". It "splits" the layers of reality and helps Bard harness the energy of the universe.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His Magical Journey and his ultimate. Using Magical Journey can help save your allies with an escape, only to have the enemy ''chase'' you by using the said portal. And since his ultimate can affect both allies and foes, it can actually ''backfire'' if used inappropriately, by freezing your allies solid.. and then letting your pursuers catch up.
* OurSpiritsAreDifferent: The little golden sprites that are seen hanging around Bard are called "Meeps". The reason they are traveling with Bard is because they are attracted to his spiritual energy. As their relationship is symbiotic, Bard welcomes them. The Meeps have been traveling with Bard for so long that they have become part of him, metaphorically speaking. After doing bonus damage in-game, they return to the spirit world.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The penguins that accompany him as Snow Day Bard. His meeps as well, to a lesser extent.
* SchmuckBait: His Magical Journey portals are good at setting traps, as [[http://youtu.be/0VoTujn69qs?t=9m14s this video demonstrates]].
* ShapedLikeItself: His Bard Bard skin is sort of this; unlike Draven Draven or Mundo Mundo where they dress up as themselves, Bard Bard is based off of actual, theatrical [[TheBard musical bards.]]
* TheMedic: His W, Caretaker's Shrine, places down a health pack for his allies to pick up.
* ThinkingUpPortals: His E, Magical Journey, allows him to create portals in walls for him and his allies to pass through. Unfortunately, so can enemies.
* TheVoiceless: His voice-over, or lack there of, is basically droning sounds. Nice sounding droning sounds, but still.
* WalkingTheEarth: Or universe, as it were. Being a roaming support (instead of your typical "stay in bot lane all early game" support), he could be this to Summoner's Rift.

[[folder:Blitzcrank, the Great Steam Golem]]
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blitzcrank_originalloading.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[[AC:[-[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/f/fb/Blitzcrank_Select.ogg FIRED UP AND READY TO SERVE.]]-] ]] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Duncan Watt (English), Rais David Báscones (European Spanish), Creator/GerardoReyero (Mexican Spanish)

->''"A SINGLE GEAR TURNING CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE."''

Blitzcrank is an enormous, near-indestructible automaton from Zaun, originally built to dispose of hazardous waste. However, he found this primary purpose too restricting, and modified his own form to better serve the fragile people of the Sump. Blitzcrank selflessly uses his strength and durability to protect others, extending a helpful metal fist or burst of energy to subdue any troublemakers.\\
\\
Blitzcrank is a Catcher champion, rightfully feared for his ability to catch enemies out of position, pulling them to his side and disabling them while his allies finish them off.
* His passive, ''Mana Barrier'', grants Blitzcrank a shield equal to a percentage of his max mana when he drops to low health. This effect has a long cooldown before it can be used again.
* With his first ability, ''Rocket Grab'', Blitzcrank fires his right hand in a target direction, which damages and grabs the first enemy it hits, pulling them to his location.
* With his second ability, ''Overdrive'', Blitzcrank supercharges for a few seconds, greatly increasing his movement and attack speed at the cost of being briefly slowed once the effect ends.
* His third ability, ''Power Fist'', empowers Blitzcrank's next basic attack, turning it into a powerful uppercut that deals bonus damage and knocks the target up into the air.
* His ultimate ability, ''Static Field,'' passively electrifies Blitzcrank's fists while the ability is available, causing his basic attacks to mark enemies, shocking them for damage after a small delay. When activated, Blitzcrank releases a powerful electrical blast, damaging, briefly silencing and breaking the shields of nearby enemies.
\\

\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Blitzcrank is a Tier 2 Robot Brawler. His ability, ''Rocket Grab'', pulls the furthest enemy next to him, damaging and stunning them, and empowers his next basic attack to briefly knock up his target. He was removed in season 2.
----
* BoringButPractical:
** Blitzcrank is heavily dependent on his ''Rocket Grab'' to snatch opponents and chain them with CC, and given its long cooldown in between tries, high initial mana cost, and the fact smart enemies tend to stay away from him or hide behind minions, Blitzcrank players may experience a lot of downtime. The most obvious tradeoff is that regardless, ''Rocket Grab'' is ''scary as hell'', as a single hook onto a critical target can win teamfights on the spot, and merely the threat of it will cause even most super-fed enemies to stay away from Blitzcrank.
** Interestingly the case of his in-lore development as well. Viktor created Blitzcrank specifically with long-term durability and efficiency in mind, discarding more popular, flashier tech in favor of building him from recycled parts of retired golems, creating something much greater than the sum of his parts.
* {{Combos}}: Landing ''Rocket Grab'' onto an enemy, followed by a ''Power Fist'' and ''Static Field'' are his bread and butter for suppressing enemies with CC and damage. When combined with a team who can follow up on it, it's very likely to doom a single target.
* CoolCar: His Piltover Customs skin modifies him to resemble a fiery hotrod, including replacing his lower half with wheels, consequently changing the sounds of his ''Overdrive'' to that of burning rubber.
* CrutchCharacter: He's a much more powerful pick at lower ELO games (earning him consistent bans) because of how effectively ''Rocket Grab'' exploits bad positioning and predictable movement patterns. He's generally not seen (or banned) as often at mid or high ELO since players there make fewer positioning mistakes in general. Even then, it's certainly possible to do well as Blitzcrank against skilled players.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Robo,]] given the Creator/SquareEnix theme, and has the voice of a [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]] (he even says "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"). In gameplay terms, he replicates Pudge the Butcher from ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients''.
* GoodSamaritan: He started off with a programmed desire to serve Zaun as a cleanup robot, and [[ItCanThink soon developed his own sense of altruism through other deeds]], including orchestrating neighborhood evacuations during chemical disasters, redirecting food distribution systems for efficiency, and repairing elaborate filtering systems for clean water. It wasn't long before he took up more dangerous tasks, including rescuing a family from a burning clock tower, stopping chem-punk robberies, and [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/blitzcrank-color-story/ saving a group of passengers from a malfunctioning, free-falling elevator]].
* GrapplingHookGun: Of the sort that only works on other people. Perhaps the most one-sided initiating skill in the game: when you pull it off successfully, the unlucky target is ''dead''. Of course, it's a skillshot with a high mana cost and a long cooldown, so pulling it off successfully is more work than you might think.
* GroinAttack: In the Journal of Justice, he once punched Singed in the crotch for [[{{Troll}} trash-talking him]].
* InstantDeathRadius: Late-game the radius of his grab range tends to be this, if his team is there to quickly annihilate the champion he grabs. Thus, a very fast way to clear enemies from an area (even if temporarily) is to hit Overdrive and start running toward them looking to pick someone off.
* ItCanThink: In his backstory he was a golem programmed with the most basic decision-making capacities needed for his work with toxic waste reclamation. Over time he started to exhibit more and more signs of sentience, to the point where he was deemed an autonomous being.
* LeadTheTarget: A necessary requirement to grab targets that are not standing still or running in a perfectly straight line since the skillshot ''is'' fairly fast, but most opponents will anticipate it if Blitzcrank ventures anywhere near them. Conversely, it means that if you are trying not to be on the ''receiving'' end, then your best bet is to [[Franchise/{{Dune}} walk without rhythm]] and move in erratic directions to prevent an easy hook by running predictably.
* TheLoad: A Blitzcrank that can't land his ''Rocket Grab'' is fairly worthless. Even worse is one that pulls enemy champions that ''want'' to get close to your team with their attacks and [=AoE=] abilities. Of course, most teams won't take the chance that the opponent will be TheLoad and ban Blitzcrank on the possibility he'll be good.
* MachineMonotone: [[AC:THIS IS HIS ME-THOD OF SPE-ECH,]] at least in speaking. When in written prose like [[https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/blitzcrank-color-story/ his color story]], his narration is rendered a little more eloquently.
* MegatonPunch: Boasts some huge intimidating fists. Ability-wise, he can use ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Power Fist]]'' to uppercut an enemy several feet into the air.
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Despite constructing him in the first place, Viktor has no idea what led to Blitzcrank developing sentience, and since Blitzcrank himself hasn't revealed why, he has no way to replicate this bit of accidental genius.
* NotTheIntendedUse: Given his status as an aggressive support for nearly his entire lifespan, it may come as a shock to some players that he was originally released as a solo bruiser.
* OddFriendship: He and Rammus are buds despite one being mechanical and the other being organic. This is likely due to them being kindred spirits as they are both lonely from being the only one of their kind while sharing a certain benevolent spirit.
* {{Overdrive}}: Blitzcrank [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin has a move called this]]. It allows him to run at high speed and significantly boosts his attack speed while it's active. It was later changed to have an even larger burst of speed and attack speed [[NecessaryDrawback in exchange for a self-inflicted slow soon afterward to balance his chasing potential.]]
* PaletteSwap: His Rusty skin holds the distinction of being the only skin removed from the game for the poor quality of the changes.
* PaperThinDisguise: Whoever that large metal man in the poorly-fitted suit, fake nose and glasses is, he is most [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Definitely Not Blitzcrank]].
* RobotBuddy: If he's on your team. Off-field, he's a pretty nice guy in the lore.
* RocketPunch: The skill is actually called ''Rocket Grab'', but the theory is similar.
* SchmuckBait: Of all the people to be wary of when they're forced under their towers, Blitzcrank probably beats them all. Most baiters need to trick you into diving them under their tower before trapping you; Blitzcrank will just pull you straight to it if you're within range, knock you into the air and silence you, ensuring you take several tower shots in a row.
* ShockAndAwe: ''Static Field'' passively zaps nearby enemies every few seconds and unleashes a lot of electricity when activated.
* SignatureLaugh: His [[MachineMonotone monotone]] "[[AC:HA HA-HA-HA HA]]" laughs are some of the most recognizable in the entire game. His appearance in "The Climb" is denoted with one of them.
* SillyWalk: Waddles like a duck due to his flipper shaped feet and [[TopHeavyGuy gigantic torso]].
* SimpleYetAwesome: Blitzcrank is a rare champion whose power is effectively built around supplementing a single initiation ability, that being his ''Rocket Grab''. Straightforward to use, and also a contender for the most universally decisive regular ability in the entire game.
* SteamPunk: He is "The Great Steam Golem", after all, which amusingly makes him a bit of [[TheArtifact an artifact]] as a Zaun-made product, as Zaun has been {{Retcon}}ned to be more about BioPunk chemtech.
* TopHeavyGuy: A massive torso and arms atop two tiny, duck flipper looking feet.
* TokenGoodTeammate: More than just a really effective service robot, Blitzcrank has carved himself a name as a genuine hero among Zaunites. While he's very much aware of [[WretchedHive the reckless lawlessness Zaun is mostly known for]], he sees its potential to become the greatest city in all of Valoran and makes it his responsibility to help it get there.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: ''Rocket Grab'' is the most basic and yet also the most powerful example of this trope in the game.

[[folder:Brand, the Burning Vengeance]]
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brand_originalloading.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[-[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/2/2c/Brand_Select.ogg Ready to set the world on fire? Heh heh heh...]]-] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (English), Creator/JuanCarlosLozano (European Spanish), Creator/ToruOkawa (Japanese)

->''"This place will burn, not by cinder flying on breath of wind, but by the vengeance of my hand."''

Once a tribesman of the icy Freljord named Kegan Rodhe, the creature known as Brand is a lesson in the temptation of greater power. Seeking one of the legendary World Runes, Kegan betrayed his companions and seized it for himself—and, in an instant, the man was no more. His soul burned away, his body a vessel of living flame, Brand now roams Valoran in search of other Runes, swearing revenge for wrongs he could not have suffered in a dozen mortal lifetimes.\\
\\
Brand is a Burst Mage champion who deals massive multi-target damage, decimating close-knit teams and using his abilities in tandem to reach maximum efficiency.
* His passive, ''Blaze'', sets enemies damaged by Brand's abilities ablaze, dealing damage-over-time based on their max health and stacking up to three times; Brand's abilities gain bonus effects against ablaze targets, and he regains mana if he kills an ablaze enemy. After reaching three stacks on the same target, the blaze explodes after a small delay, damaging the target and nearby enemies and setting them ablaze.
* With his first ability, ''Sear'', Brand launches a fireball in a target direction, damaging the first enemy it hits. If the target is ablaze, they will also be stunned.
* His second ability, ''Pillar of Flame'', causes a target location to erupt in a column of fire after a small delay, damaging enemies inside. Enemies that are ablaze take bonus damage.
* His third ability, ''Conflagration'', blasts an enemy with fire, damaging them. If the target is ablaze, the fire will spread to surrounding enemies, damaging them too.
* With his ultimate ability, ''Pyroclasm'', Brand launches a torrent of fire at an enemy, which then bounces to another nearby enemy up to four times in a row, damaging all targets. Enemies that are ablaze are slowed.
\\
Brand's alternate skins include [[PostApocalypticGasMask Apocalyptic]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/85/Brand_ApocalypticLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524000317 Brand]], [[AllBikersAreHellsAngels Vandal]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/d5/Brand_VandalLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524000515 Brand]], [[AnIcePerson Cryocore]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/b4/Brand_CryocoreLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524000344 Brand]], [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies Zombie]] [[http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/File:Brand_ZombieLoading.jpg Brand]], [[WitchDoctor Spirit Fire]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/f8/Brand_SpiritFireLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524000418 Brand]], [[BossBattle Battle Boss]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/6/6c/Brand_BattleBossLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170819005833 Brand]] and Arclight Brand.\\
\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Brand is a Tier 4 Demon Elementalist. His ability, ''Pyroclasm'', fires a fireball that bounces several times between enemies, damaging them on each hit. In season 2 he was unchanged apart from being updated to an Inferno Mage.
----
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Vandal Brand.
* AndIMustScream: There is a very real chance that Kegan is ''still inside him somewhere''.
* AnIcePerson: His Cryocore skin.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Formerly the apprentice of Ryze, he became his enemy when the allure of the Runes proved too powerful.
* AxCrazy: He just wants to burn the world down.
* BilingualBonus: In German, Danish, Dutch and Swedish, "Brand" means "fire", specifically an out-of-control and dangerous fire.
* {{Cameo}}: Garen and Lux in his judgement.
* {{Combos}}: Brand's ''Blaze'' passive actively encourages players to use his abilities in tandem, with each ability procing different effects on a target already hit by a different ability, as well as creating additional AOE burst if he gets three of them at once.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Zombie Brand, where he gets a modern zombie makeover, losing none of his pyrokinesis.
* {{Expy}}: Resembles a (marginally) saner version of Ignus from ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment''. His Sear animation greatly resembles the classic [[StreetFighter Hadouken]].
* {{Foil}}: To Lissandra. Brand is an evil being actively trying to end the world in fire, while Lissandra seeks to prolong the world, burying the [[EldritchAbomination Frozen Watchers]] [[SealedEvilInACan in ice]]. Furthermore, their ability kits are counterpoint: while Brand's skillset is extremely volatile and bursty, based completely on incredible raw damage, Lissandra's abilities drain health over a long period of time with its constant harass and extremely large amounts of crowd control effects.
* GlassCannon: To the extreme. Brand's burst damage is extremely high, but without his abilities his damage is abysmal and he takes hits like paper.
* IncendiaryExponent: He's on fire, and soon anyone and anything trying to stop him will be as well.
* KillItWithFire[=/=]PlayingWithFire
* MeaningfulName: His name comes from the word "Firebrand", which means "one that creates unrest or strife."
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: Many players were fairly surprised that a perpetual ManOnFire would be able to wear pants.
* NotTheIntendedUse: Brand is intended to be a simple midlane burst mage, with large amounts of burst AOE damage to blow up multiple enemies. However, he occasionally sees play as a kill support, similarly to Annie [[PlayingWithFire oddly enough,]] and for mostly the same reasons: great base damage and decently-reliable crowd control, which can be amplified with more conventional midlaning tools that can be easily purchased with support items.
* OmnicidalManiac: Exists only to burn down the world of men and yordles... [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and all the other races of Runeterra]].
* {{Retcon}}: When originally conceived, Brand was brought about when Kegan stumbled onto and was consumed by one of the World Runes mostly by complete happenstance. This was rewritten much later, where he ended up becoming Ryze's apprentice and partner in his quest to gather them, but was tragically overcome by their tempting power in the process.
* SealedEvilInACan: When Kegan found it, it was trapped in a perfect cage of unmelting ice. He couldn't resist touching it.
* SkillGateCharacter: While ''somewhat'' harder to pick up than Annie, he is still a good mage for newer players to pick, and he teaches a lot of valuable skills, namely leading targets, burst timing, management of debuff stacks, and the monitoring of enemy team positioning for maximum AOE effectiveness.
* VolcanicVeins: Quite noticeably covering his whole body.
* WreathedInFlames: Especially his arms and the top of his head.

[[folder:Braum, the Heart of the Freljord]]
[[quoteright:308:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/braum_originalloading12.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[-[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/8/89/Braum_Select.ogg The heart is the strongest muscle.]]-] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by: '''Creator/JBBlanc (English), Creator/EugenioBarona (European Spanish), Martín Soto (Mexican Spanish), Hiroshi Naka (Japanese)

->''"Today, we fight as enemies. Tomorrow, we might fight as brothers."''

Blessed with massive biceps and an even bigger heart, Braum is a beloved hero of the Freljord. Every mead hall north of Frostheld toasts his legendary strength, said to have felled a forest of oaks in a single night, and punched an entire mountain into rubble. Bearing an enchanted vault door as his shield, Braum roams the frozen north sporting a mustachioed smile as big as his muscles—a true friend to all those in need.\\
\\
Braum is a Warden champion who excels at protecting and soaking damage for his allies, literally standing between them and any incoming danger to stop it.
* His passive, ''Concussive Blows'', causes his basic attacks to mark the target, stacking up to four times; his allies can also apply stacks by attacking marked enemies. Once a target reaches four stacks, they will be damaged and briefly stunned. This effect cannot affect the same target more than once every few seconds; instead, Braum's attacks deal bonus damage against foes that have been recently stunned.
* His first ability, ''Winter's Bite'', shoots an ice blast from Braum's shield in a target direction, damaging, slowing and applying one stack of ''Concussive Blows'' to the first enemy it hits.
* With his second ability, ''Stand Behind Me'', Braum leaps to an allied champion, granting both of them an armor and magic resistance bonus. It can also be cast on Braum himself to just gain the defensive bonus.
* His third ability, ''Unbreakable'', makes Braum raise his shield in a target direction for a few seconds, blocking and intercepting all projectile attacks and abilities. The first one to hit him is completely nullified, while subsequent ones deal reduced damage. Braum also gains bonus movement speed while the shield is raised.
* With his ultimate ability, ''Glacial Fissure'', Braum leaps into the air and slams his shield into the ground, creating an ice rift that travels in a target direction, damaging and knocking up enemies in its path. The fissure remains on the field for a few seconds afterwards, slowing enemies within.
\\
Additional skins include [[TheDragonslayer Dragonslayer Braum]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/d6/Braum_DragonslayerSkin.jpg 🔗]]), [[MaskedLuchador El Tigre Braum]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/c/c9/Braum_ElTigreSkin.jpg 🔗]]), [[TabletopRPG Braum Lionheart]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/ef/Braum_BraumLionheartSkin.jpg 🔗]]), [[SantaClaus Santa Braum]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/b8/Braum_SantaSkin.jpg 🔗]]), [[TheMafia Mafia Braum]] ([[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/3/3a/Braum_MafiaSkin.jpg 🔗]]). and Sugar Rush Braum\\
\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Braum is a Tier 2 Glacial Guardian. His ability is ''Unbreakable'', which raises a barrier that redirects all attacks passing through it to Braum and reduces their damage by large percentage. In season 2 he was unchanged apart from his class being updated from Guardian to Warden.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: He's obviously Freljordian, but you wouldn't know that he falls under Ashe's Avarosan tribe, given how affable he is with ''everyone'' from the Freljord.
* AnimalMotifs: The sturdy ram, represented on his giant door shield. [[https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/GHgQoN9A?comment=0006000000000000 Riot confirmed that his original tribe had a strong connection to the giant volcanic ram-like demigod Ornn]], who originally created said door shield in the first place.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: When playing as or against Mafia Braum, you might notice how his ''Winter's Bite'' ([[ImprobableWeaponUser which is replaced with a]] ThiefBag [[ImprobableWeaponUser with a gold bar sticking out of it]]) [[https://i.redd.it/6grc6gcxdjd11.png flies top-first]], despite all the weight supposedly being at the bottom. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/93rd1v/i_feel_like_braums_money_bag_should_be_flipped/e3fm4un/ Riot is aware of this]], but they concluded during testing that [[RuleOfFun in terms of gameplay, this is much clearer than if it was flipped the correct way]].
* AscendedMeme: He's a manly, tanky Support that is built around aiding his teammates. He's essentially [[http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=853307&d=1386652727 Angus, the Puncher]].
* BadassInANiceSuit: Wears one in his mafia skin. Some of the chromas give him either more or less suit, up to and including just [[WalkingShirtlessScene making him topless]].
* BadassMustache: A huge brown one. He even shares it with the poro he saves!
* BadassSanta: Braum is one of the Christmas skins for 2016. And compared to Gragas being a normal "fat guy" SantaClaus, Braum is ''[[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/b8/Braum_SantaSkin.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161121204755 certainly not]]''.
* BaldOfAwesome: The only hair on this giant's head is that BadassMustache.
* BarrierWarrior: His Unbreakable skill, which can completely negate a skill's damage and reduce damage taken for a moment thereafter.
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/b/be/Braum.E2.ogg "My shield is here for you!"]]''
* BigEater: He's like Zac in that he's a friendly, stout-hearted fighter who is just as concerned with what's for supper as he is with the fighting.
** In ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'', if he is called to battle while a "Friendly Innkeeper" is on your field, the innkeeper will chuckle to alert the kitchen that "We'll need more food!"
* BoisterousBruiser: He's very loud, and is certainly enjoying himself during the fights.
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/0/06/Braum.attack13.ogg "Show me your best!"]]''
* CaptainObvious: His mother's advice apparently includes...
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/6/66/Braum.move08.ogg "Mother always said - don't lose!"]]''
* CuttingTheKnot: DoubleSubverted - Braum couldn't break through the door he now holds...so he just broke through the mountain surrounding it.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: His [[RuleOfFunny tongue-in-cheek]] comments for buying Randuin's Omen, and the Aegis of the Legion:
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/6/63/Braum.randuins01.ogg "My shield will protect this shield!"]]''
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/f/f4/Braum.randuins02.ogg "A shield for my shield? I like it!"]]''
* DoorFu: By Braum's own logic, if a door can stand up to him wailing on it, it can stand up to being smashed into the faces of his opponents.
* DynamicEntry: Instead of leaping to an enemy, Stand Behind Me brings him to an ally in need.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Not directly Braum himself, but in the splash art for [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131208034128/leagueoflegends/images/9/91/Lulu_WinterWonderSkin.jpg Winter Wonderland Lulu]], one Poro off to the left can be seen with a huge mustache, a forward nod to his announcement video.
* EasterEgg: Like Vi's special interactions with Caitlyn and Jayce, Braum has several comments which you'll hear only if he blocks an enemy ultimate with Unbreakable.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: A minor example, with him using blue tattoos like ancient Celtic warriors. Aside from that, he doesn't have much in common with their stereotypes.
* FolkHero: Demonstrates quite a few of these qualities: His FriendToAllLivingThings nature, his lore's presentation as a bedtime story, and in said story his cleverness and kindness being played up as much as his strength.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: His niceness extends to beyond humans, and he's most often seen as a friend to [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter poros]], who in turn often accompany him in portrayals such as his skins and even his announcement video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dvYxkyQFZU Trials of the Poro]]". In ''Legends of Runeterra'', he has voice interactions with every one of the poro cards.
-->''"Smallest of creatures have biggest of hearts!"''
* FrothyMugsOfWater: He makes a few jokes about drinking towards Gragas, only to subvert the alcohol part by saying he only drinks goat milk.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In the Trials of the Poro video that revealed him, his shield blocked an entire hail of arrows. In game, you cannot block Varus's ability Hail of Arrows, because it's a placed ability and not a skillshot or targeted ability.
* GentleGiant: He is really, really big and one of the most genuinely nice champions in the game. In-game, his kit encourages protecting and assisting allies over directly damaging enemies.
* GeoEffects: His Glacial Fissure ultimate creates one by disrupting the ground beneath enemies in its path and knocking them up. Afterwards, the ground slows enemies that walk over the torn earth for a while.
* GoodFeelsGood: Braum is one of the few characters in the league who isn't in it for his own gains. And it shows.
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/0/0a/Braum.move01.ogg "Sometimes icy heart just needs warm smile."]]''
** This may even reach the players themselves, exemplified by this one Youtuber's comment.
---> '''Commentor:''' Braum is the best champ in this game. Not because he's the strongest. Not because he's the most fun. Not because he is cool looking ([[RatedMForManly even though he is]]). But it's because he makes you feel good while playing him. And that's all that really matters, right?
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Dragonslayer Braum has a scar over his eye.
* GoThroughMe: Even moreso than the other shield-bearing support Leona. Braum's abilities are designed to protect those behind him and force enemies to deal with his much-harder-to-kill shell first.
* TheHeart: [[ShapedLikeItself Referred to in his title]]. He seems to like ''everybody'', even in the faction-divided Freljord. Fittingly, he is under Ashe's Avarosa tribe.
* HopeSpot: Chasing a kill and counting on one last ranged attack to seal the deal? Not if Unbreakable has anything to say about it. Braum even turns this trope around on champions who frequently rely on their long-distance ultimates (Ashe, Caitlyn, Draven, and Ezreal) to finish off wounded enemies, emphasized further with his special lines for doing so. Doesn't work this well with Lux however.
* HuskyRusskie: His voice sounds like a much more genial [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Heavy]].
* AnIcePerson: Like most of the other Freljordian champions, he has ice-themed abilities.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: His shield is actually a ''door''.
* ImprovisedWeapon: His massive shield, which was originally a ''door''.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Dragonslayer Braum.
* IShallTauntYou: Mostly averted. He has specific "taunts" for enemy champions, but these are largely friendly.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Potentially, with [[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/5/54/Braum.attack17.ogg one of his quotes]]. He seems to be aware that a champion being played by an enemy Summoner this game could very easily be a champion being played by an ally in another game.
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/5/54/Braum.attack17.ogg "Today, we fight each other. Tomorrow, we may fight together."]]''
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Himself and his allies. His kit revolves around his massive shield (which is a magical door he ripped from its hinges). He uses it both defensively and offensively.
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/4/47/Braum.attack03.ogg "My shield is my sword."]]''
* MegatonPunch: In some of his autoattack animations he forgoes the shield entirely and just smacks the enemy with his fists.
* MommasBoy: Downplayed. Refers fondly to his mother's advice from time to time.
* NiceGuy: Kind and affable, [[SpiritedCompetitor even to his enemies]].
* NonHumanSidekick: The poro Braum saved in the Trials of the Poro video apparently followed him, appearing in Braum's joke emotes by standing on his shield and bouncing up along with Braum's movement of his shield.
* NoSell: A properly timed/placed Unbreakable can negate all opponents' projectiles for the duration, even [[BulletHell continuously-firing ones]] like Miss Fortune's "Bullet Time" or Lucian's "The Culling".
* OlderThanTheyLook: As was admitted in development roundtable, he's old enough that current grandmothers heard stories about him when they were young. It was eventually confirmed that he was an Iceborn, possess natural [[TheAgeless agelessness]].
* PlayingWithFire: Dragonslayer Braum.
* {{Pun}}: He's not above making these:
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/0/01/Braum.attack07.ogg "Let's show our friends the door"]]''
* RatedMForManly: A very [[AscendedMeme manly support.]] He even has a special taunt for Gragas or Graves saying the two of them should have a drink... [[FrothyMugsOfWater Of milk]]!
* {{Retcon}}: [[https://ask.fm/RiotJaredan/answers/137114403781 Narrative Lead RiotJaredan originally stated]] that Braum was ''not'' an Iceborn, and that [[BadassNormal "he's simply just that strong."]] However, [[https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/GHgQoN9A?comment=0006000000000000 Senior Narrative Writer RiotWAAARGHbobo later stated that]] he was in fact Iceborn, a claim which is canonically verified by his ability to wield True Ice weapons, [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield an Iceborn-exclusive ability.]]
* ShieldBash: Naturally, since that gigantic shield is his only weapon. His animation for attacking towers even looks like he's using it as a battering ram.
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/9/97/Braum.attack10.ogg "Sometimes, shield becomes smashing board."]]''
* ShroudedInMyth: For such a benevolent force, Braum as a character is pretty mysterious. While some things can be concretely assessed about him (his [[LongLived long-lived Iceborn status]], his shield being made by Ornn, etc.), the fact much of his biography is explained as in-universe myths adds a lot of ambiguity to him, with questions like where he's from or where he even is now left unexplained (at the very least, Yuumi's biography greatly implies she traveled with him while searching for her master, suggesting that he does actually exist).
-->'''Ashe''': Are the tales about you true?\\
'''Braum''': Hahaha, all stories have ''some'' truth!
* SimpleYetAwesome: His core build strategy is building Armor and/or Magic resistance depending on the enemy team's composition, and HP (Bonus health and regen). Two of his abilities consist of a simple leap to a nearby ally, and holding up his shield and generating a wall of ice from it. And his primary form of Crowd Control primarily involves smacking the enemy a few times. Doing these things together in a dynamic fashion, and correctly, so that Braum absorbs the worst the enemy team can throw at him, while setting them up to be picked apart by his team, is extremely effective and awesome looking.
* SpiritedCompetitor: Thinks the League is a huge amount of fun, and compliments his opponents for their efforts.
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/c/c1/Braum.caitlyzreal01.ogg "Good shot! You'll get them next time!"]]''
* StoneWall: He's not meant to charge into enemy lines; rather, he stands between his allies and enemies and becomes an impenetrable wall that blocks any attempts to harm them.
* SuperStrength: Braum hauls around an unbreakable door and can smash through mountains. Fortunately for [[GameplayAndStorySegregation game balance]], he can't smash apart his enemies as easily in-game.
* SupportPartyMember: Intended to be a "true" defensive tank support, in contrast to the aggressive tank supports, Leona and Thresh.
* TakingTheBullet: Unbreakable has him intercept projectiles aimed at his allies. Though his shield reduces the damage, he does get hurt doing so.
* TattooAsCharacterType: The tattoos on his torso are very heavily inspired by the Ancient Celts.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Downplayed. Unlike someone like Draven, he uses both 'I' and this trope.
--> ''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/0/00/Braum.W3.ogg "Stand behind Braum!"]]''

->''"To be the best hunter, you have to be able to think like your prey."''

Renowned as its finest peacekeeper, Caitlyn is also Piltover’s best shot at ridding the city of its elusive criminal elements. She is often paired with Vi, acting as a cool counterpoint to her partner’s more impetuous nature. Even though she carries a one-of-a-kind hextech rifle, Caitlyn’s most powerful weapon is her superior intellect, allowing her to lay elaborate traps for any lawbreakers foolish enough to operate in the City of Progress.\\
\\
Caitlyn is a Marksman champion, adept at using her humongous range and variety of tools to zone and keep her opponents at bay while she snipes them from afar.
* Her passive, ''Headshot'', gains a stack whenever Caitlyn attacks, increasing to two stacks if attacking from brush. Upon reaching six stacks, Caitlyn's next basic attack will deal bonus damage that increases with her critical strike chance. Enemy champions hit by a ''Yordle Snap Trap'' or ''90 Caliber Net'' can immediately be headshot from twice her normal attack range.
* With her first ability, ''Piltover Peacemaker'', Caitlyn fires a long-ranged piercing harpoon in a target direction, damaging enemies it passes through. Targets hit beyond the first take reduced damaged, except if caught in a ''Yordle Snap Trap''.
* Her second ability, ''Yordle Snap Trap'', passively stores charges, up to five. When activated, Caitlyn spends a charge to set a bear-trap at a target location that briefly immobilizes and reveals the first enemy champion that walks over it, while also increasing the damage of her ''Headshot'' passive against them.
* Her third ability, ''90 Caliber Net'', fires a heavy trawl net in a target direction, damaging and slowing the first enemy it hits while also pushing Caitlyn in the opposite direction from the recoil.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Ace in the Hole'', Caitlyn takes aim at an enemy champion in a large radius around her and, after a small delay, fires a powerful sniper shot at them, dealing heavy damage. The bullet can be intercepted by another enemy champion mid-flight, however, inflicting the damage to them instead.

Caitlyn's alternative skins include [[LaResistance Resistance]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/b5/Caitlyn_ResistanceLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524001031 Caitlyn,]] [[TheSheriff Sheriff]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/bc/Caitlyn_SheriffLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524001102 Caitlyn]], [[GreatWhiteHunter Safari]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/03/Caitlyn_SafariLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160326014409 Caitlyn]], [[WinterWarfare Arctic Warfare]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/c/c1/Caitlyn_ArcticWarfareLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160920143913 Caitlyn]], [[FairCop Officer]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/3/3c/Caitlyn_OfficerLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524000927 Caitlyn]], [[Film/{{Predator}} Headhunter]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/d7/Caitlyn_HeadhunterLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160516013746 Caitlyn]], [[{{Lunacy}} Lunar Wraith]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/94/Caitlyn_LunarWraithLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160105214352 Caitlyn]], [[TimePolice Pulsefire]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/2/2f/Caitlyn_PulsefireLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170505210253 Caitlyn]] and Pool Party Caitlyn.
----
* ActionGirl: More comfortable from a distance, but she's still extremely capable.
* AlternateTimeline: Pulsefire Caitlyn is explicitly from from a future timeline, and she also drops hints that other thematic skin lines (Star Guardians, Super Galaxy, PROJECT, etc.) are all this in-universe to a certain degree.
* AmbiguouslyGay: There are a lot of implications that she and Vi are romantically involved, but they remain, well, ambiguous.
* BadassNormal: All she's got is her gun and knowledge of opposing champions.
* BangBangBANG: Her rifle shots normally sound like they have a HollywoodSilencer, then sound noticeably louder when they land a critical hit. This trope can literally happen when she fires several times in a row and gets her passive off.
* [[BashBrothers Bash Sisters]]: With Vi.
* BearTrap: Well, ''Yordle Snap Trap'' baited with a cupcake.
* {{BFG}}: Her standard sniper rifles in most of her skins are as tall and almost as thick as her, but her Pulsefire skin's gun is [[UpToEleven probably bigger than her entirety,]] being like a large, segmented particle cannon.
* BoringButPractical: Caitlyn's teamfighting mostly involves standing at the very edge of the fray and firing into it, occasionally using ''90 Caliber Net'' when enemies get too close. Not as flashy as [=ADCs=] who can dash around the battlefield outplaying their enemies (Ezreal, Vayne, etc.) or charge right into the fight with their team (Sivir, Graves, etc.) but Caitlyn is regarded as one of the safest ADC's for a reason, and you can't deal any damage while you're dead.
* BoomHeadshot: Her passive makes so every few shots, Caitlyn gets to deal extra damage on a single attack to the head. Amusingly, she actually aims for a turret's head if she procs a Headshot on one. She even says the trope name verbatim regularly, and it also gets PlayedForLaughs [[ExpospeakGag with her Pulsefire skin]]:
--> '''Pulsefire Caitlyn''': Boom. Cranial blast.\\
'''Pulsefire Caitlyn''': Boom. Traumatic brain injury.\\
'''Pulsefire Caitlyn''': Boom. Nonexistence.\\
'''Pulsefire Caitlyn''': Boom. Brainhole.
* ByTheBookCop: In contrast with her partner Vi's CowboyCop.
* ColdSniper: Her speech is quite emotionless.
* CrosshairAware: Everyone on both teams can see who Caitlyn locks onto for her ultimate a few seconds before it connects, giving the enemy team a chance to [[TakingTheBullet protect their more important teammates.]]
* EnemyMine: [[TimePolice Pulsefire Caitlyn]] is traveling to apprehend Pulsefire Ezreal, and if they start a game together, she'll note he's going to have to come with her when the battle is over.
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: It's possible to invoke a BatmanGambit to take out a low-health target by targeting one of their allies instead so he/she [[TakingTheBullet takes the bullet]] since just gunning for the real target may cause a HeroicSacrifice from the less-important teammate.
* ExpospeakGag: Some of Pulsefire Caitlyn's lines are basically overly-technical versions of much simpler phrases:
--> '''Pulsefire Caitlyn''': Set weapon power [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty to 360. Disable scope.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of Kardel Sharpeye the Dwarven Sniper from ''Defense of the Ancients'' and ''VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}'', gameplay-wise.
* GreatWhiteHunter: Her Safari skin invokes this idea.
* FairCop: Being a law-enforcer, she naturally qualifies, but the trope is directly invoked by her Officer Caitlyn skin.
* FingerLessGloves: She wears them.
* FiringOneHanded: Her Piltover Peacemaker ability has her fire her rifle with one hand.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Vi, obviously. Caitlyn is a calm, collected, matter-of-fact ConsummateProfessional who likes to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible, while Vi is a rude, aggressive, and violent BloodKnight who couldn't care less about doing a clean job as long as she gets a good fight out of it.
** Gameplay-wise, she's one to Jinx. Caitlyn is a long-ranged precision sniper who's best when hanging just at the edge of a team fight and playing it fairly safe. Jinx is an incredibly aggressive and fairly close-ranged carry who focuses on indiscriminate [=AoE=] with explosives.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
** She wields a sniper rifle - this gives her one of the largest autoattack ranges in the game[[note]]Tristana beats her near level 18. Twitch and Kog'Maw can as well, but only after activating certain abilities.[[/note]], outranging other ranged weapons in the game, including other guns, bows, thrown axes, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and their own vomit.]]
** "On The Case: Piltover's Finest" is a hidden buff that triggers when Caitlyn and Vi are on the same team, [[ThePowerOfFriendship giving them each 1 bonus gold for every kill Vi assists Caitlyn in, and vice-versa]]. Facing Jinx will also give you a hidden buff that will give you 1 gold every time you kill her.
* GlassCannon: Par for the course for being a marksman. She has some very powerful long-range damage, but is immensely squishy and has limited tools for getting out of danger.
* GreatDetective: Who only lost one suspect, a mysterious hextech laboratory head named "C" who kidnapped her parents.
* HollywoodSilencer: Her rifle makes the soft "pfft" sound, though it's about as loud as other ranged autoattacks and is recognizable enough to give her presence away regardless.
* [[HoverBoard Hover Bike]]: In her Pulsefire skin, her gun doubles as one during her sprint animation.
* InUniverseNickname: Vi affectionately calls her "Cupcake." Jinx uses [[NiceHat "Hat Lady"]] as a petty insult.
* LawOfInverseRecoil: Her ''90 Caliber Net'' launches her backwards. Considering the fact that it's probably a really heavy net, this recoil is somewhat understandable.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Pulsefire Caitlyn's line for killing Ryze could be referencing alternate timeline versions of himself, or possibly the actual in-game versions based off of Riot's multiple reworks.
--> '''Pulsefire Caitlyn''': Are you version six or seven? I've lost count.
* MiniDressOfPower: Possible interpretation of her classic skin. Her Officer Caitlyn skin definitely has this.
* MorphWeapon: Pulsefire Caitlyn's gun constantly changes form when in battle, such as shifting into a thicker barrel for ''Piltover Peacemaker''. It's also able to transform into a [[HoverBoard hover bike]] as she "sprints" and even a nice lounging chair for her taunt animation.
* MsFanservice: On release she was pretty restrained compared to [[{{Stripperiffic}} the usual LoL girl]], but as time has went on, she's actually retroactively become one of the ''least'' modest champions coming from Piltover, [[AbsoluteCleavage as]] [[MiniDressOfPower her]] [[OfCorsetsSexy default]] [[ZettaiRyouiki outfit]] covers a lot less of her skin than other Pilties, including Camille and even Vi. That's to say nothing of her Officer Caitlyn skin, which makes her look [[FairCop like a pole dancer in a uniform fetish costume]].
** Her Pool Party skin is a straight fanservice attire. She's the ''only'' female champion to just wear an outright bikini.[[note]]Leona, Miss Fortune, Zoe and Lulu all wear fairly conservative one-pieces, often with other clothes over the top of them like waist wraps, Fiora wears a bikini top but pairs it with boyshorts instead, and Pool Party Rek'Sai is Riot having a giggle.[[/note]]
* NiceHat: Definitely not what you'd expect for sniper garb, but her purple-striped top hat is what most other champions immediately notice about her [[TooManyBelts (other than her belts)]]. She also gains some rather nice headgear for nearly every other skin.
** [[SubvertedTrope Her only exception]] is her Pulsefire Caitlyn skin, where she has no hat in battle... [[DoubleSubverted except when she recalls,]] where she puts on a variety of different hats before jumping through a time portal, such as a top hat with a rose on it, Teemo's cap, Miss Fortune's tricorner, and Helmet Bro's helmet.
* OfCorsetsSexy: Her "dress" is essentially a corset with a short skirt attached.
* OneHitPolykill: Her ''Piltover Peacemaker'' ability fires a shot that damages all enemies hit in a line as it travels, but loses 10% damage per target hit up to a 50% decrease. Averted by her ultimate ability, Ace in the Hole, as it can only hit one champion, [[TakingTheBullet no matter who you originally targeted]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Pardoned Vi when she heard about Vi's activities - [[HunterOfHisOwnKind stealing from other criminals]] - instead of arresting her.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Vi's red. It's even shown in their hair colors, Caitlyn having purple to Vi's pink.
* ShapedLikeItself: A part of one of Pulsefire Caitlyn's jokes:
--> '''Pulsefire Caitlyn''': It's easy to understand time recursion. The first step is that you have to understand time recursion. ''[[HarmlessElectrocution (zapped by her rifle's battery)]]''
* ShesAllGrownUp: Her lore says Cait grew "into a ravishing beauty".
* [[ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy Short Range Gal, Long Range Gal]]: The long range half of her duo with Vi.
* SniperRifle: A nice, telescoping one that has some of the longest auto-attack range in the game.
* RecoilBoost: Firing her ''90 Caliber Net'' pushes her back in the direction she fires it. This makes it useless for attempting to slow fleeing enemies, but is perfect to get out of a bad situation or quickly close the distance to a target.
* SteamPunk: She's from Piltover, after all.
* SweetTooth: She does have a fondness for cupcakes if her ''Yordle Snap Trap'' is any indication. Made more explicit with her Pulsefire skin, where she'll occasionally lament her lack of cupcakes when she chugs down a health potion.
* TakingTheBullet: Cait's ultimate is a sniper shot, but someone can intercept the bullet for their teammate to fulfill this trope.
* TemporalParadox: While she doesn't explicitly cause any, Pulsefire Caitlyn is out to stop Pulsefire Ezreal from creating them through stealing artifacts from their proper timeline, and she herself wonders if she's inadvertently creating more by killing enemies.
--> ''(killing [[MirrorMatch an enemy Caitlyn)]]'' "Oh. I hope you weren't my grandmother. Oh, she made delicious cupcakes... "
* TimePolice: Pulsefire Caitlyn is still a cop in her future timeline, this time focused on stopping Pulsefire Ezreal from [[TemporalParadox interfering with multiple timelines.]]
--> ''(starting the game)'' "Let's go save the future. [[RealityEnsues And then fill out the appropriate paperwork."]]
* TimeTravel: Pulsefire Caitlyn discusses various methods a lot, and she herself prefers using a portal. She might also remark how Gnar's [[HumanPopsicle stasis in ice]] is a primitive yet effective method.
* TooManyBelts: One around her waist and two around each leg, not to mention her multiple armbands.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Vi's tomboy.
* TheWildWest: Her duties as a sheriff don't end, regardless of the theme of her skin.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Retconned to having blueish-purple hair instead of brown. Her Pulsefire skin gives her bright electric blue hair.
* ZettaiRyouiki: She has belts in place of stockings but still manages to achieve a similar effect.

[[folder:Camille, the Steel Shadow]]
[[quoteright:309:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/camille_originalloading.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:308:[-[[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/0e/Camille_Select.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20161130010459 Precision is the difference between a butcher and a surgeon.]]-] ]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Emily O'Brien (English), Margot Lago (European Spanish), Magda Giner (Mexican Spanish)

Weaponized to operate outside the boundaries of the law, Camille is the Principal Intelligencer of Clan Ferros—an elegant and elite agent who ensures the Piltover machine and its Zaunite underbelly runs smoothly. Adaptable and precise, she views sloppy technique as an embarrassment that must be put to order. With a mind as sharp as the blades she bears, Camille's pursuit of superiority through hextech body augmentation has left many to wonder if she is now more machine than woman.\\
\\
Camille is a Diver champion who demands careful timing and precision, rewarding patience with fantastic mobility and the capacity to easily pin down key targets.
* Her passive, ''Adaptive Defenses'', periodically causes Camille's next basic attack againt an enemy champion to grant her a shield based on her max health. The shield blocks physical or magic damage depending on whether the target has more attack damage or ability power, respectively.
* Her first ability, ''Precision Protocol'', causes Camille's next basic attack to deal bonus damage and grant her a movement speed bonus. For a few seconds afterwards, Camille can reactivate the ability to enhance another basic attack; if she waits a bit before doing so, the enhanced attack will deal double damage and convert a percentage of it into true damage.
* With her second ability, ''Tactical Sweep'', Camille sweeps her leg-blade in a cone in the target direction, damaging enemies she hits. Enemies hit in the outer edge of the sweep are slowed, take bonus damage based on their max health and heal Camille by the same amount for each enemy champion hit.
* Her third ability, ''Hookshot'', fires a pair of cables from Camille's hips in a target direction. If they hit a wall, Camille will pull herself to it and gain the ability to cast ''Wall Dive'', kicking off the wall in a target direction, with the range being doubled if she dives towards an enemy champion. Camille will stop if she hits an enemy champion, damaging and stunning nearby enemies and gaining an attack speed bonus.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Hextech Ultimatum'', Camille leaps towards an enemy champion, knocking away all other enemies upon landing and creating a hexagon-shaped energy field around the target. The target cannot leave the energy field by any means, and Camille's basic attacks deal bonus damage while inside the field.
\\
Camille's alternate skins include [[AIIsACrapshoot Program]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/ea/Camille_ProgramLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170304174200 Camille]], [[WitchClassic Coven Camille]], and [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming Invictus Gaming Camille]].\\
\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Camille is a Tier 1 Hextech Blademaster. Her ability, ''Hextech Ultimatum'', roots and damages her target before forcing her allies to target them as well. She was removed in season 2.
----
* AdaptiveArmor: Her ''Adaptive Defenses'' passive grants her a shield that only blocks either physical or magic damage, depending on the target's primary damage type of whoever she attacks.
* AntiHero: Camille is very ruthless and shows no hesitation to murder her enemies. However, she does so to maintain order and peace in Piltover, and protect the innocent from being exploited by criminals.
* AntiHumor: She gives Diana a run for her money in terms of sheer lack of understanding of a joke.
--> "A joke? Hmm... what do you get when you cross me in a dark alley? Eviscerated."\\
"A Noxian, a Zaunite and a Freljordian walk into my blade. The End."
* ArtificialLimbs: While she has [[{{Cyborg}} hextech augmentations all over her body]], her most noticeable features are her [[ArmedLegs artificial blade legs.]]
* ArmedLegs: Even before she underwent hextech augmentation to replace her legs with long, vicious blades, her weapon of choice was the Shon-Xan footed glaive.
* {{Cyborg}}: She's a half-human, half-hextech death machine, and has the precise efficiency of one. She even has a robotic distortion effect on her voice similar to [[RobotGirl Orianna.]]
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: She was raised to be a cold and efficient enforcer for her family from childhood, but when her heart was replaced with a hextech core it took away most of her remaining humanity, just as her lover (the hextech surgeon forced to perform the operation) had feared.
* DifficultButAwesome: Camille's MO is all about precision, and so is her gameplay kit. She has many tools for efficient dueling, but she also requires pinpoint positioning, timing, and decision-making skills in order to make the most of it, and her abilities are less effective in full-on teamfights come late game. In the words of Riot, “Like other champs that demand razor-sharp ability executions, Camille is noticeably less effective in the hands of an unpracticed player.”
* EarlyBirdCameo: She was referenced a few months before her announcement in, of all things, [[http://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/evelynn-color-story Evelynn's short story "The Shadows Beckon."]] In it, while discussing Evelynn's capabilities as an assassin, Takeda mentions both a high-ranking Demacian knight that Evelynn killed and an heir to the Clan Kozari in Piltover [[NotMeThisTime which she didn't.]] He was instead killed by someone Evelynn calls "the Gray Lady."[[note]]Ironically, "The Shadows Beckon" is no longer canon, as it features ''pre-''rework Evelynn, who was still a [[ProfessionalKiller hired assassin]] rather than the [[HornyDevils lust demoness]] she would become.[[/note]]
* ElectronicEyes: A part of her hextech augmentations, typically [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]] [[CreepyBlueEyes a piercing cyan color]]. As seen in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF5Ddo9JdpY Awaken]]", they can also [[EyeColourChange shift to a deep orange]].
* {{Foil}}:
** To both members of Piltover's Finest, Vi and Caitlyn. All three of them work to preserve the peace in Piltover by hunting down those who would disrupt it, but unlike the duo, who are police officers who apprehend and lock up criminals, Camille operates entirely outside of the law and on her lonesome, ruthlessly slaughtering anyone and everyone who would disturb the city's functioning.
*** Caitlyn and Camille are both calm and collected [[ConsummateProfessional Consummate Professionals]] with British accents who prefer to do things as precisely and efficiently as possible. However, Camille works outside of the law and outright kills those who stand against her, while Caitlyn is the very woman who works to uphold law and order in the city, locking up criminals instead. The two also have vast differences in their playstyle: Camille is a Diver who jumps straight into the enemy team to take down her target at close range, while Caitlyn is a Marksman who fights from afar with her rifle.
*** This is even more evident with Vi. Both of them are single-target Divers, each with a shield-granting passive, a gap-closer with light CC, an auto-attack steroid, and an instant single-target lockdown ultimate. However, aside from the fact that both of them work to preserve order in Piltover, they couldn't be any more different. Camille is a calm and cold [[ConsummateProfessional Consummate]] ProfessionalKiller that operates outside the law to murder all who would disturb the peace, cutting down enemies with her [[ArtificialLimbs leg blades]] with a playstyle that requires precision and high mechanical skill. Vi is a loud and brash [[TheLadette lad-ette]] and BloodKnight that works as a cop to lock up criminals and evildoers, preferably pounding them into the dirt with her [[PowerFist Power Fists]], whose playstyle is more of "just ram into the enemy team and punch things." Even Camille herself acknowledges their similarities, going as far as to telling Vi that she would become just like her one day.
--->"Watch it, girl. I am your future."\\
"Hmmm, it's like looking into a crude, boorish mirror."
** Even moreso to Zac. They are both mysterious protectors of their cities who are halfway thought of as legends, but in everything else, they are exact opposites. Camille is cold, ruthless, stoic, precise, and does what she does because it is her duty to maintain a balance of power. Zac is an empath who sows chaos among his enemies and does what he does because it's the right thing to do.
** Is a perfect parallel to Orianna. Camille chose to become more machine than man, casting off her humanity and emotions to better fulfill her duties as a killer. Orianna was forced to become a machine when Zaun's air poisoned her. Which only occurred when she offered her respirator to a suffocating child. And she still has love and kindness in her heart.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She works to preserve the order and functionality of Piltover, but she's still a relentlessly deadly assassin. Her ''Severed Ties'' comic has her kill a corrupt Zaunite baron after marrying a naive Piltie lady in an effort to gain power. In front of her. All while she's tearfully begging Camille to stop.
* GrapplingHookPistol: She fires wires from her legs that latch onto terrain. The initial ability is even called [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda "Hookshot."]]
* HartmanHips: [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/fe/Camille_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20161129194950 Her hips are]] ''much'' wider than her shoulders. But it's not {{Fanservice}}; it's largely because of her augmented blade-legs and the grappling-cable mechanism embedded in her hips.
* InUniverseNickname: Simply referred to as "The Gray Lady" by most average civilians and criminals.
* KickChick: The first champion to emphasize leg-based combat, with nearly all her abilities using kicks with her artificial blade legs.
* KickTheDog: By default, her interactions with other champions are cold and pitiless, but one of her taunts towards an enemy Vi is particularly scathing.
--> "Ever wonder how you became an orphan?"
* KnightOfCerebus: It's more of a case of her happening to be introduced at the same time as Piltover's lore rewrites, but with her reveal came the CerebusRetcon of Piltover not being the idyllic ScienceHero-spawning city it once was.
* KnightTemplar: Those who threaten the safety and the balance of power in Piltover die. [[JudgeJuryAndExecutioner There is no court of appeal.]]
* LadyOfWar: An elegant, ruthless operative from a wealthy family, with a kick-based fighting style dependent on precision and proper timing.
* LogicalWeakness: Her passive makes her very effective at taking on single targets with primarily one type of damage. Hybrid-damage champions, such as Jax, or those with a large amount of true damage, like Olaf, are thus her bane.
* TheManBehindTheMan: After deposing her corrupt brother, she controls Clan Ferros from the shadows through the facade of her favourite niece.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: In the short story ''Tea With the Gray Lady,'' Camille offers tea to a pair of dazed Zaunite criminals who she plans to interrogate. When the DumbMuscle of them [[TooDumbToLive chooses to repeatedly insult the bladed-legged lady who's holding them both captive,]] she instantly decapitates him, but still continues her offer to the other. [[NightmareFuel/LeagueOfLegends It's ungodly creepy.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: While Camille doesn't look exactly young (probably somewhere around her 40's to 50's), she doesn't look like she's in her 80's like she actually is. Champ Insights explained that this is because "her hextech core (which powers her legs) has slowed, but not stopped, her aging process... She’s not immortal, but she’s older than she looks."
* ProfessionalKiller: An elite assassin who's so single-mindedly devoted to her job that many wonder just how much of her is actually human.
* RedBaron: She takes on the moniker of "The Gray Lady", a title with a surprising amount of history to it. In between Piltover and Zaun exists a quasi-cult known as The Church of the Glorious Evolved, of which Viktor is hailed as its messiah, and a mythical being also known as The Gray Lady is depicted as its patron saint. Said being is not supposed to be Camille herself; she was just revered by members of the church as such, and the connection caught on elsewhere.
* SexyWalk: Camille has the most exaggeratedly hip-swinging walk in the entire game, complete with hand posed on her waist. However, as this is because of her unnaturally-shaped and overlarge cybernetic legs, the effect is closer to FanDisservice.
* ShesGotLegs: [[ArmedLegs And she knows how to use them.]] [[FanDisservice Despite their length, they're definitely more of a]] [[SubvertedTrope subversion of the usual trope.]]
* SpotOfTea: She's still a dignified member of Piltover's nobility after all, and tea seems to be her last remaining human vice. She manages to make even ''that'' creepy.
-->''"Oh, my boy," she said. "There is always time for tea."''
* StatuesqueStunner: Camille's enhanced blade legs are disproportionately long, making her unnaturally tall.
* SuddenNameChange: In her original announcement, she was mistakenly given the surname Medarda, but it was changed to the correct Ferros before official release. The Clan Medarda still canonically exists (most prominently featured in the short story "Progress Day"), so it's possible that Riot originally meant for her to be more directly connected but changed their minds.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Okay, so she's not ''100%'' evil as she's [[WellIntentionedExtremist technically fighting for the side of order for the greater good]], but you probably couldn't tell that by her actions alone, especially in comparison to the many other "good" champions of Piltover.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She does like a good SpotOfTea. Even other characters acknowledge this fact.
-->'''Warwick''': Blood... hextech, and... *sniffs* tea...
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She seeks to preserve Piltover's constant order and efficiency, and does so through assassinating those who work against it.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KarenStrassman (English), Ana Plaza (European Spanish), Kerygma Flores (Mexican Spanish), Creator/MieSonozaki (Japanese)

->''“Secrets are sharper than blades…”''

Cassiopeia is a deadly creature bent on manipulating others to her will. Youngest and most beautiful daughter of the noble Du Couteau family of Noxus, she ventured deep into the crypts beneath Shurima in search of ancient power. There, she was bitten by a gruesome tomb guardian, whose venom transformed her into a viper-like predator. Cunning and agile, Cassiopeia now slithers under the veil of night, petrifying her enemies with her baleful gaze.\\
\\
Cassiopeia is a Battle Mage champion who excels at keeping foes at bay while harassing them with poisons and inflicting extremely powerful sustained damage.
* Her passive, ''Serpentine Grace'', prevents her from purchasing boots, instead increasing her movement speed per level.
* Her first ability, ''Noxious Blast'', creates a venomous explosion at a target location that poisons all enemies inside, dealing damage-over-time and briefly increasing Cassiopeia's movement speed if she hits an enemy champion.
* With her second ability, ''Miasma'', Cassiopeia spits venom in a target direction, leaving several poison clouds where the venom lands for a few seconds. These poison clouds deal damage-over-time, slow and ground enemies inside, preventing them from using movement abilities.
* Her third ability, ''Twin Fang'', fires fangs at an enemy, damaging them and refunding the mana cost if they kill their target. Hitting a poisoned enemy with the fangs deals bonus damage and heals Cassiopeia.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Petrifying Gaze'', Cassiopeia unleashes her gaze upon all enemies in a cone in the target direction, damaging them. Enemies that are facing away from Cassiopeia when hit are slowed, while enemies that are facing towards Cassiopeia are instead briefly turned to stone.

----
* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with her passive; it's a common big of FridgeLogic that champions in the game can use items even if they have no way or reason to (e.g gun-wielding champions hitting harder by buying swords, champions without feet like Nocturne moving faster from buying boots etc) but Cassiopeia is the only case where Riot have [[AscendedMeme drawn attention to it]] by prohibiting her from buying boots at all.
* AncientConspiracy: Taking after her mother's footsteps, Cass became part of the Black Rose at a young age unbeknownst to her sister Katarina and their father General Du Couteau. The expedition to uncover Shurima's lost power which --among other things-- resulted in her serpentine form was directly motivated by finding a weapon to aid the Black Rose's looming secret war, [[CursedWithAwesome and while it might not be what she was looking for, she intends on using her newfound power for that purpose.]]
* AscendedMeme: Players have always joked about her ability to "wear" boots. She was updated with a new passive, Serpentine Grace, which gives her increasing movement speed as she levels up but removes her ability to buy boots.
* BadassFamily: She's part of the Du Couteau family, with sister Katarina being a Noxian assassin (and also a playable champion), their father only known as "[[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep General Du Couteau]]" who taught Katarina the craft, and their mother Soreana, who was secretly involved in [[AncientConspiracy the Black Rose]] behind his back.
* BodyHorror: The result of her curse isn't exactly the prettiest thing around, and [[TransformationHorror the process of the transformation was described as searing her flesh like acid.]]
* ChildSoldier: While Katarina assassinated targets, Cass spied for the family.
* {{Combos}}: ''Twin Fang'' is lackluster by itself, even with its very low cooldown (although it can be a great tool for lasthitting). But when used on poisoned targets the spell provides most of Cassiopeia's infamous sustained damage, along with a small but welcome amount of self-healing.
* CursedWithAwesome: Her own opinion on the matter. She still hates the way she looks, but is starting to rejoice at the sheer power her new body has bestowed upon her.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Somewhat uniquely for a mage, Cassiopeia dishes out magic damage through this method, landing poisons and spamming ''Twin Fangs'' on enemies in a manner not too dissimilar to auto-attack-based marksmen, trading out instant burst for crowd control to keep her foes in place as she shreds them over time.
* DifficultButAwesome: If you can play Cassiopeia well she can put out an '''insane''' amount of damage, along with highly useful crowd control and a unique dash-stopping effect. However she lacks the upfront burst of other mages, and must land her poison spells consistently to perform. This is reflected by who uses her: rarely seen at most skill levels (and usually TheLoad when she is). Meanwhile, the pros regard her as one of ''the'' most difficult champions to lane against.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Cassiopeia is the only champion in the game prohibited from buying boots (and it's not even like she's the only one incapable of wearing them --Vel'Koz and Nocturne also completely lack any form of feet-- she's just the only one anybody made a big deal about). While this means she can't take advantage of their cost-effective movement speed bonuses and other abilities (like the cooldown reduction on the Boots of Lucidity or the MR penetration on Sorcerer Shoes), her passive, Serpentine Grace, instead gives her a free amount of bonus movement speed that scales with her level, until she is just as fast as a champion ''with'' level 2 boots. This means she can keep up with the rest of the champions in the game while not only saving the gold she would have had to spend on boots to spend on more powerful items instead, but also giving her effectively an extra item slot.[[note]]In extremely long games, carries who have reached a full build will often sell their boots in order to acquire a 6th damage item, a dangerous move that trades mobility for power, and which Cassiopeia doesn't need to do.[[/note]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Turns to stone with a shriek, then [[LiterallyShatteredLives falls on her side and smashes into pieces]].
* FemmeFatalons: Doesn't use them in combat, although in her back story she ripped a group of servants limb from limb while still in shock from horror due to her transformation.
* FragileSpeedster: She's as [[SquishyWizard squishy as any other wizard]], but unlike most of them, she has a speed boost for herself in Noxious Blast that can be constantly refreshed thanks to its very low cooldown... as long as she hits it. A fair portion of her damage also comes from spamming Twin Fang on poisoned targets, making her fit this trope better than mages who have higher damage burst spells on long cooldowns.
* GlassCannon: Her damage output is potentially ''devastating'', but she's extremely fragile and dependent on maintaining range with a slow and a speed boost, with her only real CC being a bit unreliable. As a tradeoff, she's capable of doing much more damage than other mages with her low cooldowns, but it takes her longer to reach the same level of damage as most mages over the course of a fight, as they generally cast all their abilities as quickly as possible and then run away while waiting for their abilities to refresh. Cass, on the other hand, relies on opening up with her ultimate, then laying down Miasma and proceeding to rapidly spam Noxious Blast and Twin Fang, using the speed boost from Noxious Blast to twist and weave through the enemy ranks.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: You better hope that you're not looking into them when she uses Petrifying Gaze...
* GorgeousGorgon: Despite now being a monstrous lamia and despite even Cassiopeia herself claiming she is now hideous, she is ''still'' extremely attractive.
* Myth/GreekMythology: She's the League's Medusa, and one of her skins is a Siren.
* HoneyTrap: Her day job prior to being cursed.
* MagikarpPower: Cassiopeia is considered one of the few, true mage "hard carries", as her passive allows her to forgo buying boots for more offensive items, meaning that by the very late game she'll have more damage than probably any other champion in the game. However, this power spike will not be hit until the late mid-game/early late-game at best.
* {{Medusa}}: Her Mythic skin is a direct homage to the legend.
* PowerUpgradingDeformation: She's a half-serpent monstrosity with ''no'' ability to use beauty and charm to her advantage, but her new powers are very useful all the same.
* {{Retcon}}: Initially, Cass was cursed with her snake form after breaking an oath she swore on a serpentine Freljordian blade. In 2014, this was changed to transformation by a magical sentinel in Shurima while attempting to break into the emperor's tomb.
* SnakePeople: Serpent from the waist down, plus she appears to have fangs.
* SnakesAreSexy: One of the most seductive champions in the League.
* SquishyWizard: Like many mages, Cass's gaze is deadly, but she crumples if stared at too hard back.
* TakenForGranite: If you look at her when her ultimate hits you, you're stunned, with the visual effect of your champion being turned to stone for the duration.
* TreasureHunter: Using her [[BadassFamily family's]] resources, clandestine connection to [[AncientConspiracy the Black Rose]], and close proximity to Shurima, Cass frequented multiple expeditions in the deep desert to raid ancient ruins with the help of Sivir, a path which would've developed into them uncovering the lost tomb of the Ascended and her becoming cursed.
* UniversalPoison: Any type of poison will do for her Twin Fang's damage boost. This includes Singed's and Teemo's.
* TheVamp: Prior to her transformation.
* TheWildWest: Her Desperada skin gives her a cowboy hat and corset, and her snake body takes on a rattlesnake pattern.

->''"Your souls will feed the Void!"''

From the moment Cho’Gath first emerged into the harsh light of Runeterra’s sun, the beast was driven by the most pure and insatiable hunger. A perfect expression of the Void’s desire to consume all life, Cho’Gath’s complex biology quickly converts matter into new bodily growth—increasing its muscle mass and density, or hardening its outer carapace like organic diamond. When growing larger does not suit the Void-spawn’s needs, it vomits out the excess material as razor-sharp spines, leaving prey skewered and ready to feast upon later.\\
\\
Cho'Gath is a Specialist champion who disrupts the battlefield and devours his enemies whole, growing in size and health with each new victim he consumes until he becomes an almost unkillable behemoth.
* His passive, ''Carnivore'', causes Cho'Gath to regain a small amount of health and mana whenever he kills an enemy unit.
* His first ability, ''Rupture'', makes sharp spikes emerge from the ground at a target location after a small delay, damaging, knocking up and slowing enemies inside.
* With his second ability, ''Feral Scream'', Cho'Gath roars, damaging and briefly silencing all enemies in a cone in the target direction.
* His third ability, ''Vorpal Spikes'', causes Cho'Gath's next three basic attacks to send out a volley of spikes in a short line, damaging and slowing enemies they hit.
* With his ultimate ability, ''Feast'', Cho'Gath attempts to devour a nearby enemy, inflicting a large amount of true damage and granting Cho'Gath a stack if he kills the target. For each stack he has, Cho'Gath gains bonus health and size; he can only gain up to six stacks from non-epic minions and monsters, however.
\\
Cho'Gath's alternate skins include [[PaletteSwap Nightmare]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/14/Cho%27Gath_NightmareLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170908195530 Cho'Gath]], [[EvilBrit Gentleman]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/bf/Cho%27Gath_GentlemanLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160407191944 Cho'Gath]], [[StockNessMonster Loch Ness]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/fc/Cho%27Gath_LochNessLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524001600 Cho'Gath]], [[DemBones Jurassic]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/fa/Cho%27Gath_JurassicLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524001536 Cho'Gath]], [[RobotMe Battlecast Prime]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/0a/Cho%27Gath_BattlecastPrimeLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524001513 Cho'Gath]], [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Prehistoric]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/12/Cho%27Gath_PrehistoricLoading.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160524001754 Cho'Gath]] and Dark Star Cho'Gath.\\
\\
In season 1 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Cho'Gath is a Tier 4 Void Brawler. His ability, ''Rupture'', summons a large circle of spikes that damages and knocks up all enemies inside of it. He was removed in season 2.
----
* AchillesHeel: Just like other tanks with large health pools, Cho'Gath gets shredded by abilities and attacks that damage his health by a percentage. Granted, though this counters his HP gains through Feast stacks, he gets enough bonus HP so that he doesn't necessarily ''have'' to stack tons of it through items and can instead focus on other defensive stats or damage.
** Some more pronounced and specific weaknesses are his mobility and lack of actual tank abilities. He has absolutely ''zero'' dashes, blinks, taunts, or buffs of ''any'' kind, such as for his speed, armor, or magic resistance. While his passive grants him small amounts of health for each unit killed, it is useless in team fights. His only method of escaping is knocking up and slowing opponents with the easily-avoided Rupture. Dodge that and you'll whittle him down.
* AffablyEvil[=/=]FauxAffablyEvil: Gentleman Cho'Gath is cheerfully polite.
* AndIMustScream: He implies that dying at his hands (Or teeth) is far from a reprieve.
-->'''Cho'Gath''': Death is not the end for you, I have seen to it. For eternity, you are ''mine''!
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Feast deals 600+ true damage instantly at max rank. If a Cho'Gath manages to reach you when you're low, nothing short of invulnerability is going to save you.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Well, not quite 50 feet, but a fully-stacked Cho'Gath is ''huge''. Most tanks are tanks in the metaphorical sense and are actually average-sized, Cho'Gath really is an unstoppable monstrosity that marches in front of his team, and can even physically shelter the smaller members with his sheer size.
* BadassBoast: Battlecast Prime Cho'Gath gives us this gem:
-->''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/7/7e/BattleCastChogath.attack9.ogg "Afraid of the dark? That's my shadow.]]"''
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Averted, unlike with most of the other [[EldritchAbomination Voidborn]]. Whilst most of the others seem to simply have an alien set of priorities unconstrained by human notions of morality (or indeed higher reasoning in the case of [[HiveQueen Rek'Sai]]), Cho'Gath demonstrates a far more active malevolence towards living beings. A particularly pertinent contrast is Kog'Maw: while both are {{Extreme Omnivore}}s, Kog'Maw's hunger comes across as much more primal and uncontrollable, with a fairly childlike intelligence behind it that probably doesn't even understand that things don't want to be eaten. Cho'Gath, on the other hand, hates life and apparently wants to devour it for that reason.
* BoringButPractical: His ultimate, Feast, is far from flashy - all it shows is a small fountain of blood . . . and with the right build it can hit for over 1200 [[ArmorPiercingAttack unavoidable true damage.]] It's also helpful in that it gives Cho'Gath 1 Feast stack (additional max HP) for finishing with it.
* DifficultButAwesome: While his Vorpal Spikes and Feast don't really need skill to hit, his other two abilities need good aim to be of any use. Rupture has a long delay and leaves an obvious visual indicator on the target area, while Feral Scream has short range and can be outrun by fleeing opponents. That said, they are both strong [=AoE=] nukes and apply some nice crowd control, so landing them on even a few enemies can spell death for them; one of the reasons that he's commonly recommended to new players is the fact that he's easy to pick up and do well with, but teaches valuable skills, namely being able to predict enemy movements and lead targets.
* DemBones: His Jurassic skin is a skeleton.
* EldritchAbomination: Described as the 'poster boy' for [[EldritchLocation The Void]]: A being with an alien appearance who eats a lot.
* EmeraldPower: His eyes glow green.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: His Prehistoric skin turns him into a pale theropod-like creature with glowing red eyes and gold spikes.
* EvilBrit: His Gentleman skin wears a suit, top hat, and monocle, and speaks in an [[SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish RP accent]].
* EvolvingAttack:
** While it's not as drastic as, say, Nasus' Siphoning Strike, it's still present- a buff Riot gave to Feast causes its damage to scale with 10% of Cho'Gath's bonus HP. Every kill with Feast permanently increases his maximum HP, further increasing its damage and stacking up to 255 times. If it were somehow possible to reach this cap[[note]]it's not unless you and some friends specifically set out to accomplish it in sandbox mode or a custom game[[/note]] not only would Cho'Gath gain 40,800 bonus HP, but Feast would do an additional ''4080'' true damage (on top of the 650 base damage at 50% AP ratio) enough to OneHitKill pretty much any champion in the game who isn't stacking ''massive'' amounts of HP.
** The same goes for Vorpal Spikes, which additionally gain larger hitbox as Cho'Gath himself grows - fully-stacked Cho can cover half of lane's width with waves of spikes that knock massive chunks of his victims' health, and slow them to make hitting them again even easier.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Cho'Gath eats any and everything he can get his maw on.
* FakeDifficulty: His Feast ability grants him extra health. This is not a problem. It also physically enlarges him, bringing him from slightly larger-than-average (but still sane) to being so large that his GlassCannon teammates can [[ObstructiveForeground walk behind him so that enemies can't even click on them ]], forcing them to instead attack [[StoneWall Cho'Gath]], ''with the aforementioned increased health''.
* GeniusBruiser: Stated to be extremely intelligent, and capable of undoing high-level magic.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Pretty clear that he's not a good guy.
* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: Has red ones in his Jurassic skin.
* HumansThroughAlienEyes: Non-Void life absolutely disgusts him.
-->''[[http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/4/41/Greenterror.move5.ogg "Your races are a scourge upon the world!]]"''
* HyperactiveMetabolism: Finishing off anything with Feast will immediately increase his maximum health by a significant amount. While minions and lesser monsters stop giving stack after 6, if Cho continues Feasting on epic monsters and champions he can gain almost infinite health.
* JackOfAllStats: Cho'Gath is noted for just how damn ''versatile'' he is, being a Tank with excellent crowd control, solid farming abilities, and respectable damage output. He is capable of fulfilling the required roles for a Top, Mid, Bottom (support) ''and'' Jungler, and provided he's well-fed, his passive will prevent him from falling to easy ganks. A good Cho'Gath player will be ''feared'' simply because it is just so damn hard to figure out what role he'll be playing on the battlefield until it's too late.
* LargeHam: '''All three''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvMKMipl2_o of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pzvPXCV6ds his]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXkQlZcvRnY voices]].
* MacrossMissileMassacre: His Vorpal Spikes if he has the Battlecast Prime skin.
* MagikarpPower: While he starts off fairly decent, and can in fact fill several roles on the battlefield, if a player doesn't slap him down early a Cho'Gath with the right build will become a massive wall of insectoid polygons with a gargantuan HP pool and the ability to dish out serious pain that will require a ''lot'' of work to take down. Once he reaches level 6, you have about 6 minutes to kill him before he reaches critical size and health levels from Feast- even killing him and making him lose valuable stacks can be recovered from in a few minutes.
* MightyGlacier: Packs a lot of deadly CC... if you let him catch up to you.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Just look at his splash art. Jagged fangs jut from every inch of his jaws, in some cases at quite bizarre angles.
* MundaneUtility: As it turns out, the giant speakers on Battlecast Cho'gath that he uses to fire concussive sound blasts are also handy for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxXawxLhWiM playing a neat little dance beat]].
* NonHumanUndead: In his [[DemBones Jurassic]] skin.
* NotTheIntendedUse: Despite being a tank, Cho'Gath has AP scaling higher than many mages. With an AP build, Cho'Gath can simply spam Rupture over and over, and while it can be dodged, if it hits it knocks you up and could shave off ''half'' of a squishy's HP. Did we mention it is [=AoE=]?
* ObstructiveForeground: Cho'Gath doesn't need a taunt like Shen to draw fire for his teammates. He can just stand over the small members and physically prevent anything from targeting them.
* OmnicidalManiac: He wants to eat ''everything''.
* PhotoshopFilterOfEvil: His Nightmare skin is an eye-color change away from this, on top of being an ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' reference.
* PowerEchoes: His voice is heavily distorted, giving it a VoiceOfTheLegion effect.
* PunctuationShaker: Typical of Void monsters, his name is two syllables split by an apostrophe.
* RobotMe: His Battlecast Prime skin.
* SciFiWritersHave/NoSenseOfEnergy: His Feral Scream ability is released by "451 Exawatt Omnisonic Speakers" in his Battlecast Prime skin. That is about 2600 times the power Earth receives from the sun, and translates to 326 decibels. In 1 second, this Feral Scream releases more energy than 2000 Tsar Bombas, the more powerful nuclear device in history, or 100 gigatons of TNT.
** To make it even more hilarious, the damage is fairly small - most champs simply shrug off the immense amount of power.
* ShockwaveStomp: Rupture, of the variety where stomping on the ground can cause a shockwave blast in a different location.
* SplashDamageAbuse: A common way to farm an entire wave at once - and harass the enemy hiding behind said wave - is to toggle Vorpal Spikes on and attack the frontmost minion so as to damage everything behind it.
* SpikeShooter: Vorpal Spikes.
* StockNessMonster: His Loch Ness skin.
* StoneWall: A large portion of his laning ability comes from his passive, which allows him to recover health and mana whenever he kills something. Coupled with his exceptional farming ability, a good Cho can easily stay in lane indefinitely. At late game, with all six Feast stacks and a more-or-less completed build, Cho is basically unkillable unless the whole team focuses him (and even then, he won't be going down fast). If you ignore him, he'll crowd-control you while his teammates kill you. If you focus him, his teammates will whoop your ass while you're trying to kill the damn behemoth.
* [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim Why Don't You Just Eat Him]]: Cho'Gath solves problems exactly how you'd expect.

[[folder:Corki, the Daring Bombardier]]

->''"Death from above!"''

The yordle pilot Corki loves two things above all others: flying, and his glamorous mustache... though not necessarily in that order. After leaving Bandle City, he settled in Piltover and fell in love with the wondrous machines he found there. He dedicated himself to the development of flying contraptions, leading an aerial defense force of seasoned veterans known as the Screaming Yipsnakes. Calm under fire, Corki patrols the skies around his adopted home, and has never encountered a problem that a good missile barrage couldn’t solve.\\
\\
Corki is a Marksman champion who pelts his foes from afar with projectiles, before using his signature bombing run to engage the enemy team and break apart their formation.
* His passive, ''Hextech Munitions'', has two separate effects:
** ''Hextech Shrapnel Shells'' causes Corki's basic attacks to deal a large percentage of their damage as magic instead of physical, which makes them harder to defend against.
** ''The Package'' causes a rocket pack to be delivered at Corki's base every few minutes. Picking it up grants Corki a massive out-of-combat movement speed bonus and one use of ''Special Delivery'', a modified version of ''Valkyrie''.
* With his first ability, ''Phosphorus Bomb'', Corki launches a flare bomb at a target location, damaging enemies inside and revealing all targets hit by the explosion for a few seconds.
* With his second ability, ''Valkyrie'', Corki's gyrocopter dashes in a target direction, leaving behind a burning trail of napalm that damages enemies inside. If he has ''The Package'', this ability becomes ''Special Delivery'', which causes Corki's gyrocopter to dash farther and faster, knocking aside all enemies in his path and leaving behind a much larger napalm trail that deals increased damage and massively slows enemies inside.
* His third ability, ''Gatling Gun'', fires the gyrocopter's machine gun for a few seconds, unleashing a spray of bullets that damage and reduce the armor and magic resistance of enemies in a cone in front of Corki.
* His ultimate ability, ''Missile Barrage'', passively stores charges, up to seven. When activated, Corki spends a charge to fire a missile in a target direction that explodes on contact with a foe, damaging nearby enemies. Every third missile will be a ''Big One'', which deals increased damage and has a larger explosion area.
\\

* BadassMustache
* ClusterFBomb: Thankfully for the game's T rating, it's [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar concealed in his aviator slang.]]
* DifficultButAwesome: If you can land those missiles, you have a very effective, long-range, harassing and farming ability. If you miss, all you get for it is some boosted attack damage ''if'' you have a Spellblade item, and nothing if you don't. His Gatling Gun provides a good amount of armor reduction and damage in an [=AoE=], but moving away from the enemy at all while it's active is likely to waste a significant portion of its damage potential . . . and moving away from the enemy ''tends to be what ranged carries are likely to be doing'' a lot of the time.
* {{Expy}}: Anyone who played Warcraft III will see a resemblance between [[http://www.leagueoflegends.com/champions/view/42/corki_the_daring_bombardier him]] and the [[http://www.wowwiki.com/Flying_Machine_(Warcraft_III) Flying Machine unit]], which is also the base for Auriel Vlaicu the Gyrocopter from ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients''. His voice sounds nearly identical to Peppy's from the VideoGame/StarFox series.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: If you understand his lingo, it's pretty dirty.
* KillItWithFire: He has [[IncendiaryExponent phosphorous]] bombs, and if the enemy is following him, Corki can make a quick dash away in his plane, leaving napalm in his wake for anyone that follows him.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: You can fire your missiles as soon as you get them, ''or'', you can save up all seven to quickly fire one after another.
* MoreDakka: One of his moves is a pair of gatling guns that fire continuously for a few seconds when activated, damaging units in a cone and temporarily shredding their armor.

Each weapon has unique properties, and a limited supply of ammo, called ''Moonlight'', that is expended by basic attacks and his first ability. When all ''Moonlight'' is consumed from his current gun, it moves to the back of the line as he switches to the next gun in rotation.

* His passive, ''The Hitman and The Seer'', has several components to it:

* His ultimate ability, ''Missile Barrage'', passively stores charges, up to seven. When activated, Corki spends a charge to fire a missile in a target direction that explodes on contact with a foe, damaging nearby enemies. Every third missile will be a ''Big One'', which deals increased damage and had a larger explosion.

* Her second ability, ''Yordle Snap Trap'', passively stores charges, up to five. When activated, Caitlyn spends a charge to set a bear-trap at a target location that briefly immobilizes and reveals the first enemy champion walks over it, while also increasing the damage of her ''Headshot'' passive against them.

* Her third ability, ''Hawkshot'', passively stores charges over time, up to a maximum of two. When activated, Ashe spends a charge to send a hawk spirit to scout a location anywhere on the map, revealing its surroundings as it travels and the destination for a few seconds upon arrival.

* The basis of Azir's kit is his second ability, ''Arise!'', which passively stores charges over time, up to a maximum of two, while also granting Azir bonus attack speed. When activated, Azir spends a charge to summon a temporary, untargetable ''Sand Soldier'' at a target location, which will disappear if Azir moves too far away from it. Azir can use his basic attacks to instead order ''Sand Soldiers'' to stab at enemies close them with their lances, damaging all enemies in a line.

* Her second ability, ''Yordle Snap Trap'', passively stores charges over time, up to a maximum of five. When activated, Caitlyn spends a charge to set a bear-trap at a target location that briefly immobilizes and reveals the first enemy champion walks over it, while also increasing her ''Headshot'' damage against them.

* His passive, ''Hextech Munitions'', has two separate components. ''Hextech Shrapnel Shells'' causes Corki's basic attacks to deal a large percentage of their damage as magic damage instead of physical damage, which makes him harder to defend against. ''The Package'' causes a rocket pack to be delivered at Corki's base every few minutes, which he can pick up to temporarily gain a massive out of combat movement speed bonus and granting him one use of ''Special Delivery'', a modified version of his second ability.
* His first ability, ''Phosphorus Bomb'', launches a flare to a target location, damaging enemies inside and revealing them for a few seconds.
* With his second ability, ''Valkyrie'', Corki's gyrocopter dashes in a target direction, leaving behind a burning trail of napalm that continuously damages enemies within. If he has ''The Package'', this ability becomes ''Special Delivery'', which causes Corki to dash farther and faster, knocking aside all enemies in his path and leaving a much larger napalm trail that deals more damage and massively slows enemies inside.
* His third ability, ''Gatling Gun'', causes the gyrocopter's machine gun to fire for a few seconds, unleashing a spray of bullets that continuously damages and reduces the defenses of enemies in a cone in front of Corki.
* His ultimate ability, ''Missile Barrage'', passively stores missiles over time, up to a maximum of seven. When activated, Corki fires a missile in a target direction that explodes upon hitting an enemy, damaging nearby foes. Every third missile fired will be a ''Big One'' that deals more damage and creates a larger explosion.

Cho'Gath is a Specialist champion who disrupts the battlefield and devours enemies whole, growing in size to become an almost unkillable behemoth.
* His passive, ''Carnivore'', restores a small amount of health and mana whenever Cho'Gath kills an enemy unit.
* His first ability, ''Rupture'', causes spikes to emerge from the ground at a target location, damaging, knocking up and slowing enemies inside.
* With his second ability, ''Feral Scream'', Cho'Gath roars, damaging and silencing enemies in a cone in a target direction.
* His third ability, ''Vorpal Spikes'', enhances Cho'Gath's next three basic attacks, causing them to send out a volley of spikes in a short line that damage and slow enemies they hit.
* With his ultimate ability, ''Feast'', Cho'Gath attempts to devour a nearby enemy, dealing a large amount of true damage. Killing the target gives Cho'Gath a stack, granting him bonus health and size. He can have an infinite amount of stacks, but only six can be gained from non-epic monsters or minions.

Cassiopeia is a Battle Mage champion who excels at keeping foes at bay while harassing them with poison and inflicting extremely powerful sustained damage.
* Her passive, ''Serpentine Grace'', prevents Cassiopeia from buying boots, instead granting her extra movement speed per level; this frees one of her item slots for other items.
* Her first ability, ''Noxious Blast'', creates a venomous explosion at a target location, poisoning all enemies inside, dealing damage-over-time and granting Cassiopeia a decaying movement speed bonus if she hits an enemy champion.
* With her second ability, ''Miasma'', Cassiopeia spits a large arc of venom in a target direction, leaving multiple clouds of poison where the venom lands for a few seconds. Enemies inside the poison clouds take damage-over-time, are slowed and grounded, preventing them from using movement abilities such as dashes.
* Her third ability, ''Twin Fang'', fires fangs at a nearby enemy, damaging them and refunding their mana cost if they kill the target. Hitting a poisoned target causes the fangs to deal bonus damage and heal Cassiopeia for a small amount of health.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Petrifying Gaze'', Cassiopeia blasts all enemies in a cone in a target direction with her gaze, damaging them. Enemies facing away from Cassiopeia are slowed, while enemies facing towards her are briefly turned to stone.

* Her passive, ''Adaptive Defenses'', empowers her next basic attack against an enemy champion every few seconds, causing it to grant her a damage-absorbing shield. Depending on whether the target has more ability power or attack damage, the shield will absorb magical or physical damage respectively.
* Her first ability, ''Precision Protocol'', causes Camille's next basic attack to deal bonus damage and grant her a movement speed bonus. For a few seconds afterwards, she can reactivate the ability to enhance another basic attack; if she waits a few seconds before doing so, the second attack deals bonus damage and a percentage of the damage is converted into true damage.
* With her second ability, ''Tactical Sweep'', Camille sweeps her leg-blade in a cone in a target direction, damaging all enemies she hits. Enemies hit in the outer edge of the cone are slowed, dealt bonus damage equal to a percentage of their max health and heal Camille for the same amount of health.
* Her third ability, ''Hookshot'', fires a pair of cables from Camille's hips in a target direction. If they hit a wall, Camille will pull herself to it and gain the ability to cast ''Wall Dive'' for a brief duration. Casting ''Wall Dive'' causes Camille to kick off the wall in a target direction, with the range of the jump being doubled if she dives towards an enemy champion. Hitting an enemy with ''Wall Dive'' will stun them, deal damage to them and other nearby enemies and, if they're an enemy champion, grant Camille an attack speed bonus.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Hextech Ultimatum'', Camille leaps towards a nearby enemy champion, knocking away all other nearby enemies upon landing and creating a hexagon-shaped field of energy on the ground around her target's location for a few seconds. Her initial target cannot leave this energy field by any means, and Camille's basic attacks will deal bonus damage while she remains inside the area.

* Her second ability, ''Yordle Snap Trap'', passively stores charges over time, up to a maximum of five. When activated, Caitlyn spends a charge to set a bear-trap at a target location that triggers when an enemy champion walks over it, rooting, revealing and increasing the damage from her ''Headshot'' against them.

* Her passive, ''Headshot'', gains a stack whenever Caitlyn attacks, increasing to two stacks if attacking from brush. Upon reaching six stacks, Caitlyn's next basic attack will deal bonus damage that increases with her critical strike chance. Enemy champions hit by ''Yordle Snap Trap'' or ''90 Caliber Net'' can immediately be headshot from twice her normal attack range.

* With her first ability, ''Piltover Peacemaker'', Caitlyn fires a thin, long-ranged piercing harpoon in a target direction, damaging all enemies it passes through and dealing reduced damage to targets hit beyond the first, except for those caught in a ''Yordle Snap Trap''.
* Her second ability, ''Yordle Snap Trap'', passively stores charges over time, up to a maximum of five.

* Her third ability, ''90 Caliber Net'', fires a trawl net in a target direction, damaging and slowing the first enemy it hits while also pushing Caitlyn in the opposite direction from the recoil.
* With her ultimate ability, ''Ace in the Hole'', Caitlyn targets a single enemy champion in a humongous range around her and, after a small delay, fires a powerful sniper shot at them, dealing heavy damage. The bullet can be intercepted by another enemy champion mid-flight, but it will still deal the same amount of damage.

* With his ultimate ability, ''Glacial Fissure'', Braum leaps into the air and slams his shield into the ground, sending out an ice rift in a target direction that damages and knocks up enemies it passes through. For a few seconds afterwards, the fissure remains on the field, slowing enemies inside.

* His passive, ''Concussive Blows'', causes his basic attacks to mark the target, stacking up to four times; his allies can also apply stacks by attacking marked targets. Upon reaching four stacks, the target will take damage and be briefly stunned. This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every few seconds; instead, Braum's attacks deal bonus damage against recently stunned foes.
* His first ability, ''Winter's Bite'', shoots a blast of ice from Braum's shield in a target direction, damaging, slowing and applying one stack of ''Concussive Blows'' to the first enemy it hits.
* With his second ability, ''Stand Behind Me'', Braum leaps to an allied champion, granting both of them an armor and magic resist bonus. It can also be cast on Braum himself to just gain the defensive bonus.
* His third ability, ''Unbreakable'', makes Braum raise his shield in a target direction for a few seconds, blocking all incoming attacks and abilities, completely nullifying the first one to hit him and reducing the damage from subsequent ones. While the shield is raised, Braum gain bonus movement speed.
* With his ultimate ability, ''Glacial Fissure'', Braum slams the ground with his shield, sending out an ice rift in a target direction that damages and knocks up enemies it passes through. The fissure then remains on the field for a few seconds afterwards, slowing enemies inside.
