* TheKirk: He makes the final decision amongst his fellow Kinkou ninjas. He also has some overlap with TheSpock, as his position of the Eye of Twilight requires him to makes decisions completely dispassionately.

Sona is a support-mage champion that excells at empowering and aiding allies with enhancing auras, and whose versatile kit can do a bit of everything. All of Sona's basic abilities, in addition to their active effects, will create a short-range, short-duration aura that grants a different bonus to any allied champion that enters its radius. The duration of the aura will also slightly increase with every allied champion. it affects. Her passive, ''Power Chord'', makes Sona's next basic attack after using three abilities deal bonus damage, as well as gaining a bonus secondary effect depending on which one of her three auras she used last. Her first ability, ''Hymn of Valor'', sends out two bolts of sound that authomatically target and damage the two nearest enemy units, prioritizing champions. She also creates an aura that grants bonus magic damage to the next basic attack of Sona and any allied champion that enters its radius. If she used this ability last, her ''Power Chord'' becomes ''Staccato'', dealing increased damage. Her second ability, ''Aria of Perseverance'', heals Sona and the nearest, most damaged allied champion, the healing amount increasing the less health the targets have. She also creates an aura that grants a damage-absorbing shield to Sona and any allied champion that enters its radius. If she used this ability last, her ''Power Chord'' becomes ''Diminuendo'', reducing the damage the target deals for a brief duration. Her third ability, ''Song of Celerity'', grants Sona a large movement speed bonus for a few seconds that decays in strenght over its duration. She also creates an aura that grants a smaller movement speed bonus to any allied champion that enters its radius. If she used this ability last, her ''Power Chord'' becomes ''Tempo'', slowing the target's movement speed. With her ultimate ability, ''Crescendo'', Sona emits a wave of sound that damages all enemies in a line in front of her and forces them to dance uncontrollably for a small duration, effectively stunning them. This ability also passively increases the effects of Sona's auras.

Sona is a support-mage champion adept at buffing and empowering allies with auras, and whose versatile kit can do a bit of everything. All of Sona's basic abilities, in addition to their active effects, grant a unique and persistent buffing aura to all nearby allies until she activates a different basic ability. Her passive, ''Power Chord'', empowers her next basic attack after using three abilities, dealing bonus damage and applying a secondary effect that depends on what aura she currently has active. Her first ability, ''Hymn of Valor'', sends out two magic missiles that authomatically target the two nearest enemy units and prioritize champions, and she starts emitting an aura that increases the offensive power of nearby allies. Additionally, if she's playing this song, her ''Power Chord'' becomes ''Staccato'', dealing double damage. Her second ability, ''Aria of Perseverance'', heals Sona and the nearest allied champion with the lowest health and briefly buffs their defenses for a brief duration, and she starts emitting an aura that increases the defensive stats of nearby allies. Additionally, if she's playing this song, her ''Power Chord'' becomes ''Diminuendo'', reducing the damage the targets deals for a brief duration. Her third ability, ''Song of Celerity'', briefly grants a movement speed bonus to Sona and all nearby allied champions, and she starts emitting an aura that grants a smaller movement speed bonus to nearby allies. Additionally, if she's playing this song, her ''Power Chord'' becomes ''Tempo'', slowing the target's movement speed for a brief duration. With her ultimate ability, ''Crescendo'', Sona emits a wave of sound that damages all enemies in a line forward and forces them to dance uncontrollably for a small duration, effectively stunning them.

Swain is a mage-fighter champion who can take a lot more punishment than the usual fragile mage, while also dealing powerful sustained damage on his own. His passive, ''Carrion Renewal'', restores some of his mana whenever he kills an enemy unit, and even more if he kills or helps kill an enemy champion. His first ability, ''Decrepify'', sends his pet raven to fire a beam of energy at an enemy target, damaging and slowing them until the duration ends or they run away from the raven. His second ability, ''Nevermove'', creates a magical mark at a nearby area that, after a brief delay, will make giant talons erupt from it, damaging and immobilizing all enemies inside. His third ability, ''Torment'', curses a nearby enemy unit, dealing damage over time and increasing all damage they take from Swain for a brief duration. With his ultimate ability, ''Ravenous Flock'', Swain will, at the cost of some mana per second, transform into a gigantic, six-eyed demon raven that constantly sends more ravens to attack nearby enemies, damaging them and healign Swain for a portion of the damage dealt. His ultimate can be turned on or off at will, but the mana cost increases every second, quickly draining his mana reserves if he isn't careful.

Sejuani is a tank-fighter champion who rides a monstrous boar and combines freezing cold with pure brute strenght to disrupt and lock down enemies. Her passive, ''Frost Armor'', grants her a brief armor boost and a reduction to all slowing effects applied on her when she damages an enemy. Her first ability, ''Arctic Assault'', makes her boar charge forward, stopping upon colliding with an enemy champion, knocking up and damaging all enemies she hits depending on their maximum health. Her second ability, ''Flail of the Northern Winds'', transforms her next basic attack into a powerful flail slam that deals bonus magic damage to the target and all foes near it. She then starts swinging her flail around hear, damaging all nearby enemies based on her maximum health for a short duration. Her third ability, ''Permafrost'', passively makes all her basic attacks and abilities apply ''Frost'' on enemies they hit. When she activates the ability she freezes any targets affected by ''Frost'' in a huge area around her, damaging and slowing them. With her ultimate ability, ''Glacial Prison'', Sejuani hurls a frost-forged bola forward in a line that explodes upon colliding with an enemy champion, damaging and stunning all nearby enemies. If the bola reaches its maximum distance without hitting an enemy champion it will also explode, but will only slow nearby enemies.

* NonIndicativeName: His ultimate, Impale, does not, well, impale anything. More like a [[TakenForGranite crystalizing]] TractorBeam.

--> Berrtrand Wordsworth: "It is an incredible honor to meet one of your kind. I have never found mention of the Brakern in any of my studies."
--> Skarner: "So it would seem that humans not only seek to eliminate our species, but the knowledge that we ever existed as well."

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Good luck trying to outrun a Sejuani that really wants you dead- between her multiple crowd control spells to keep you close and even a wall-dash to follow escapes through walls, it'll take quite a bit to shake her off.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: An even-shaped [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunga_Munga humga munga]]... thing. Except they call it a glaive, like ''{{Warcraft}}''.

** More heavily hinted with fellow League champion LeBlanc. In her [[http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=315591 League Judgement]], her memory is one where she meets Swain not long after she becomes the Matron of the Black Rose. They drink tea, reveal that Swain used to be part of the Black Rose, and notably LeBlanc is upset that Swain had to give up a part of his identity in order to reach the status he currently has in Noxus, to the point she reached out and held his hand. On Swain's part, he says he [[ShipTease "made sacrifices. But I made them for us."]]

** During the Ionia vs Noxus event, the Journal of Justice ran an article that explained why Swain wasn't up for champ selection during the match. He had recently been promoted and there was a gala being held in his honor. At this gala, LeBlanc was his date and the article particularly noted how it was rare to see the Matron out in public at all, and that she 'hung onto (Swain's) arm' during the whole event. This had the effect of showing the Black Rose's unabashed support for Swain.

** During the Kalamanda incident (aka the introduction of the Dominion map event), Swain was on-site as a representative of the Noxian military, butting heads with Demacian forces led by his nemesis Jarvan IV. However, Jarvan IV was noted as acting out-of-character during the whole time, and it was he who attacked Swain first. In the high resolution version of the published image of the fight between Jarvan IV and Swain in raven form, one can clearly see it is LeBlanc's face reflected in Swain's breastplate as he is facing 'Jarvan', adding to his uncharacteristic behavior up to that point, it is pretty much confirmed that it was LeBlanc masquerading as Jarvan the entire time, working in cahoots with Swain. The result is that Swain appears as being the innocent party because he did not instigate the fight; instead he appears to be defending Noxus' rights to Kalamanda against an aggressive Demacia. The Journal of Justice article on the incident also noted that effectively made Swain the only General on active duty on an actual battlefield. This elevates Swain's popularity within the military high command as well as with the Noxian public.
** The last political rival to Swain for the position of Grand General was one of Boram Darkwill's sons, Kevan Darkwill. During the duel, Swain notably never used his strongest ability - that is to turn into a giant demon raven. It is heavily hinted that until the last moment, it was likely LeBlanc who was fighting in his stead due to the lack of his signature abilities being used and that one of the quotes 'he' was saying was a quote that LeBlanc often uses. The killing blow/execution was also dealt by Darius and not him. Although this is purely speculation, the effect might be to belittle Kevan by showing that Swain did not see him worth fighting to his full capacity and that he was not an opponent worth personally killing. Another possibility as to why Swain would not turn into a raven, is that Noxus is officially described as xenophobic by Riot - Swain might not have wanted to turn into a raven so that the Noxian public would not be reminded of his non-human abilities.

Singed is a tank-fighter champion whose ability set is largely based around kiting and displacing enemies, dealing damage just by running around. His passive, ''Empowered Bulwark'', increases his health for a percentage of his maximum mana. His first ability, ''Poison Trail'', is a toggled ability that, at the cost of some mana per second, will continuously leave a trail of poison gas behind Singed as he moves, damaging all enemies inside it over time. His second ability, ''Mega Adhesive'', shoots out a pool of glue at a nearby area that lingers there for a while, massively slowing any enemies that pass through it. With his third ability, ''Fling'', Singed will throw a nearby enemy behind him with his shield, damaging them. His ultimate ability, ''Insanity Potion'', makes Singed drink a powerful brew of chemicals that grants him a large bonus to his movement speed, ability power, regeneration and defenses for a long duration.

Skarner is a fighter-tank champion adept at charging into fights and staying on top of foes in melee range, being very hard to get away from. His passive, ''Crystallizing Sting'', applies a stack of Crystal Venom to all targets hit by his spells. When they have 3 stacks of Crystal Venom, his next basic attack deals bonus damage and briefly stuns the target. His first ability, ''Crystal Slash'', slashes all nearby foes with his claws, damaging them and empowering Skarner. This empowering buff stacks three times and makes his next Crystal Slashes deal bonus magic damage, increase attack speed, and increase movement speed. His basic attacks reduce the cooldown of ''Crystal Slash''. His second ability, ''Crystalline Exoskeleton'', protects Skarner with a temporary damage-absorbing crystal shield that also grants him a movement speed bonus that increases over its duration. His third ability, ''Fracture'', sends out a crystal wave that damages and slows all enemies in a line. With his ultimate ability, ''Impale'', Skarner stabs a nearby enemy champion with his stinger, damaging and encasing them in crystal, completely suppressing them, while also dragging them behind himself as he moves for a brief duration. Impale also detonates any stacks of Crystal Venom on the target for bonus damage.
