League
of Legends
League of Legends is a mixture
between some of the RTS (Real time strategy for your RPG only folks) and RPG
games you've played in the past, but with so much more. League of Legends is a
competitive online game set in an imaginative world with you as the player
taking control of a powerful magical character known as a Summoner. Each
Summoner must participate in session based battles and control Champions to
achieve victory and advance their persistent character. Here's a break down of
the different types of characters in
League of Legends. Riot Games has just unveiled details about its latest two
champions for the upcoming PC game
League of Legends: Clash of
Fates. Both Ashe and Sivir have been added to the official roster
of champions to battle on the Fields of Justice.
Ashe the Frost Archer
As a
direct descendant of Avarosa, one of the three legendary sisters who each
claimed dominion over the scattered tribes dwelling in icy tundra known as
Freljord, Ashe mirrors her ancestor’s unparalleled mastery with the bow. Ashe
has come to the Institute of War in service to the Institute’s summoners,
seeking enough influence and favor to finally bring peace to her realm – a realm
that has endured civil strife since the Time of the Three Sisters. With enough
victories under her belt, she hopes to have the means to finally claim the
throne that had long eluded Avarosa.
Ashe is
one of but a few hearty souls from Freljord who can claim the title of Frost
Archer. Along with mastery of the bow, Ashe is renowned for her resourcefulness
even in the most dire of environments. She has mastered the ability to channel
the frigid climate of the tundra into her arrows, slowing her foes with but a
single flick of her wrist. She can even deliver a vicious shot from hundreds of
yards away that freezes even the strongest of foes in their tracks. As
tenacious as she is beautiful, she has earned the respect of ally and foe alike
in the Fields of Justice.
Frost Shot
(Active) - Toggle ability, While on, each of Ashe's attacks slow her target's
movement speed at the cost of mana.
Volley (Active) - Ashe fires 9 arrows in a cone for 150% damage. Volley slows
enemies based on your current level of Frost Shot.
Archers Mark (Passive) - Each time Ashe kills a unit, she gains some extra gold.
Enchanted Crystal Arrow (Active) - Ashe fires a missile at any point on the map.
If the arrow encounters a champion it damages him and nearby enemies. These
units are stunned for up to 5 secs, based on how far the arrow has traveled.
Focus (Passive) - While out of combat, Ashe's critical strike chance increases
every 3 seconds, but lasts for only one attack.
Sivir
the Battle Mistress
The
beautiful and deadly mercenary known as Sivir has earned many titles throughout
her illustrious career, but the one she held until recently was “Battle Mistress
of Nox”. Now, however, she is known as “The Battle Mistress” after breaking her
contract with the Noxian High Command. Sivir dared to object to the Noxian war
against the peaceful island state of Ionia; her predictions of a bloody
stalemate came true when the Ionians held off the relentless assaults of the
Noxians. Claiming that the Noxian High Command had lost its direction, she left
Nox and made her services available to the Institute of War. The Noxian High
Command have sent a number of contracted assassins to deal with their rogue
mercenary, but none have yet to deliver… or survive.
The Battle
Mistress brings an unparalleled mastery of bladed weaponry and battlefield
tactics to the Fields of Justice. Her weapon of choice is the “crossblade” – a
large four-bladed weapon that she uses as a ranged weapon. She may hurl it with
such force that all foes in her way are wounded twice – once as the weapon flies
past them, and then again as it returns effortlessly to Sivir. She has mastered
the ability to ricochet the crossblade off her foes, inflicting grievous wounds
to multiple opponents. Her skill and experience in combat allow her to not only
anticipate the tactics of her foes, but also lead her compatriots to victory by
bestowing increased movement and combat haste. Time and time again, Sivir
proves that she has earned the right to call herself “The Battle Mistress”.
Spiral
Blade (Active) - Sivir hurls her Crossblade like a boomerang, dealing damage
each way.
Ricochet (Active) - Each of Sivir's attacks will bounce between targets, dealing
reduced damage with each successive hit.
Spell Shield (Active) - Creates a magical barrier which blocks a single enemy
spell cast on Sivir. Lasts up to 20 seconds.
On The Hunt (Active) - Grants Sivir and nearby allies faster movement and attack
speeds for a short period.
Sprint (Passive) - Sivir has an increased chance to dodge attacks while moving.
