‘The Second Season of League of Legends’ Animated Epic ‘Arcane’ Draws Near
The anticipated return of the acclaimed Netflix animated series ‘Arcane’, based on the popular game League of Legends, is just around the corner. Riot Games, the masterminds behind both the game and the show, have exciting plans to mark this occasion within the League of Legends universe itself. With the upcoming Patch 14.22, a new champion named Ambessa Medarda, introduced in ‘Arcane’, will make her debut in the game.
Enter Ambessa Medarda: The Matriarch of Vengeance
Fans of ‘Arcane’ will recognize Ambessa Medarda as the formidable matriarch of the Noxian Medarda family, who emerges to counsel her daughter Mel in the midst of turmoil. Following the shocking events of the first season, where Jinx’s attack leaves the Piltover council reeling, Ambessa embarks on a path of vengeance in the upcoming season. Riot Games saw in her a compelling character worthy of integration into the game that inspired ‘Arcane’. According to game designer Max Perlman, the show provided a valuable starting point for the developers to craft Ambessa’s unique abilities and playstyle.

Ambessa is tailored for the top lane, designed to excel in one-on-one combat encounters. Her kit reflects this focus, with abilities that emphasize her prowess in duels. Drakehound’s Step, her passive ability, enables her to dash post-ability cast, enhancing the range, damage, and attack speed of her subsequent ability while restoring her energy. From her basic attack Cunning Sweep to her ultimate ability Public Execution, each move is meticulously crafted to aid her in decimating foes.
A New Chapter in League of Legends Collaboration
Ambessa’s introduction is not the only crossover from ‘Arcane’ to League of Legends. The All Random, All Mid game mode will receive a new map inspired by the iconic Bridge of Progress, offering players a taste of the beloved series’ world.
