New Champions
3 champions are coming to LoL Classic this patch. They are:
Elise
Elise's kit is from many years ago.
- Passive - Spider Swarm: While in human form, abilities that hit enemies store a Spiderling, up to a cap. In spider form, Elise releases these Spiderlings to attack nearby enemies.
- Q - Neurotoxin / Venomous Bite: In human form, Elise spits neurotoxin that deals bonus damage based on her target’s current health. In spider form, Elise and her Spiderlings lunge at an enemy and deal bonus damage based on their target’s missing health.
- W - Volatile Spiderling / Skittering Frenzy: In human form, Elise releases a volatile spiderling that explodes on the first enemy it hits, dealing damage in an area. In spider form, Elise and her Spiderlings gain bonus attack speed and heal Elise on-hit.
- E - Cocoon / Rappel: In human form, Elise fires a cocoon that stuns the first enemy it hits. In spider form, Elise and her Spiderlings rappel into the air, becoming untargetable. She can then re-cast Rappel to descend upon her choice of target.
- R - Human Form / Spider Form: Elise transforms back and forth between human form and spider form. In human form she’s ranged. In spider form, she is melee and deals bonus damage on-hit.
Swain
Swain's kit is from 2010-2016.
- Passive - Carrion Renewal: Swain recoups some mana every time he kills an enemy.
- Q - Decrepify: Swain sics his raven on a target enemy, slowing and dealing damage over time while they remain in range.
- W - Nevermove: After a brief delay, Swain damages and roots all enemies in a small area.
- E - Torment: Swain afflicts an enemy with Torment, dealing damage over time and causing them to take increased damage from him. Unlike most other damage amps, this also impacts true damage, like Ignite.
- R - Ravenous Flock: Swain transforms into a giant raven, consuming increasing amounts of mana while transformed. In this state, he releases lesser ravens to damage enemies and return to heal Swain based on the damage they dealt.
Volibear
Volibear's kit is from 2011-2018.
- Passive - Chosen of the Storm: When reduced to low health, Volibear heals for a portion of his maximum health over time. This effect has a long cooldown.
- Q - Rolling Thunder: Volibear gains bonus movement speed, increased while running toward enemy champions. His next attack deals bonus damage and flips his target over his head.
- W - Frenzy: Volibear passively gains stacking bonus attack speed on-attack. While at max stacks, Frenzy can be activated to deal high single-target damage, increased based on their missing health.
- E - Majestic Roar: Volibear damages and slows nearby enemies. Minions and monsters are additionally feared.
- R - Thunder Claws: Volibear harnesses the power of the storm for several seconds, causing all basic attacks to inflict chain lightning.
