Upcoming 'League Of Legends' champion Akshan brings high-speed mobility to the Rift
Riot Games has revealed the many abilities of Akshan, the next champion to join the League Of Legends roster in patch 11.15.
In an abilities rundown posted earlier in the week, Riot Games has shared details on what the upcoming marksman will be capable of.
Designed as “a new kind of assassin”, Akshan will need players to rely on a grappling hook and slippery stealth skills to succeed in bursting down enemies.
As mentioned in his champion insight, the team behind Akshan “wanted to craft an experience that would feel like a distinct assassin style, but also clearly feel like a marskman…and put those two worlds together in mid lane”.
Akshan’s passive allows him to fire a second attack after the first, which can be cancelled to provide increased movement speed. He’ll also do extra damage every three hits, which will provide Akshan with a shield if his target was a champion.
