Champions: Bel'Veth 2g / Jinx 2g / Diana 3g / Kindred 4g
Your team gains 10% Attack Speed. Challengers gain bonus Attack Speed. When their target dies, Challengers dash to a new target and increase their Attack Speed bonus by 50% for 2.50 seconds.
Here's a rundown of the traits you can branch into from Challenger:
Bel'Veth's Tidal Slashes strikes her target in a flurry, dealing physical damage to them. The amount of strikes scales with Attack Speed, pairing conveniently with the Challenger trait.
Overall, she's a pretty straightforward frontliner, but it's hard to argue against a 2-cost unit with three traits.
Jinx is a backline AD carry that also scales her ability based on Attack Speed (allowing her to fire additional bullets). A natural fit for Challenger, and one of the earlier units with the trait.
Diana passively deals bonus magic damage with each of her basic attacks. Her Pale Cascade ability grants her a Shield, then summons three orbs which encircle her and damage enemies that come into contact.
Additionally, the rotation speed of the orbs increases based on Attack Speed, once again matching appropriately to Challenger. Seems solid.
Kindred marks enemies with each attack and ability, then sends Wolf to consume them once they reach a certain amount. As for the active, it has Kindred jump away before firing enemies at the nearest targets.
As a N.O.V.A unit, the unique power surge effect applies a large Shield to your strongest Tank. If you go one step further and make Kindred the "Striker", all enemies become marked on activation, plus receive additional marks after every X seconds.
