in league of legends World Championship Finals, developer Riot Games revealed the game’s new champion Hei and what his abilities will bring.
Hwei is a mage and is designed to be played in the mid lane, allowing him to fill in parts of the game. lol There are no real human male magicians in that position. He also has 10 different abilities, which is expected to make him one of the more complex champions in that position.
Huwei essentially has three sets of basic abilities, all of which include three actual spells. Using her one ability from each set cools down her other two abilities in that set as well, so it’s all about choosing the right spell from that group.
The first group of abilities are called disasters and are intended to cause damage. Devastating Fire sends a fireball in the direction of the target, exploding on the first enemy it hits, dealing damage in an area. Severing Bolt sends a delayed attack in a fixed direction, dealing more damage if it hits an immobilized or isolated enemy. Molten Fissure then sends out a line of lava that slows down enemies walking through it.
Next is Serenity’s ability to buff Hwei and his teammates. In Fleeting Current, Hwei draws a line on the map that increases movement speed for you and your teammates when you pass through it. Pool of Reflection gives an instant shield to allied champions in the area, and Stirring Lights gives Hwei an attack buff that gives bonus damage on right-click and grants mana when attacking enemies.
Next, we have Hwei’s crowd control skill, the Torment ability. Grim Visage causes the first enemy you attack to flee. Gaze of the Abyss will lock onto the nearest champion and eradicate them after a short delay. The Crushing Maw then grabs any enemies trapped inside and pulls them towards the center.
Finally, Hwei’s ultimate is Spiraling Despair, which fires an orb that sticks to enemy champions for a few seconds. Once attached, the orb will expand around the enemy, dealing damage and slowing enemies every second it comes in contact with. It will then explode and cause further damage.
Hwei is league of legends Patch 13.24 is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
