So, which champion has the easiest level 2 requirement in other regions? Teemo? Diana? Katarina.. Wonder if it will be viable to "cheat" those cards with an easy level up champion
I think this expansion is going to be great! Can't wait to see how they (hopefully) incorporate Nasus' stacking into his card!
I think nasus is going to be a 5 mana 4/6 overwhelm with: if a spell would deal damage, it drains that much instead. Level up: you drained 8 life. When leveled up nasus gets +x/+x until round end whenever you drain where X is the amount drained.
His signature spell is: siphoning strike : 2 mana fast deal 1 damage to a unit, if a unit dies this way, add a copy of siphoning strike to your hand and copies of siphoning strike everyehere deal 1 additional damage.
Can someone explain if I get this right? I read Restored Sun Disc description, it mentions Ascendants. When I google "ascendant runeterra", i get this:
https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Ascended
Does this mean that all the heroes in the list that are in Runneterra right now will get 3rd level? Or am I completely mad?
EDIT: Will Ascendant/Ascended be a new tribe, something like Dragon or Elite?
The true "Ascended" term refers to the people who were transformed by the Sun Disk into furries beings of awesome power. They are more or less immortal and were the elite of the elite in ancient Shurima.
After Shurima got destroyed (long story), most surviving ascended got a bit power mad and warred against each other. No one could kill them really so humans just played along out of fear and/or worship. Then Zoe came along (yes that Zoe) and imprisoned these now evil ascended into weapons. They thus became Darkin. (Aatrox, Varus and Rhaast; Rhaast is Kayn's Scthe, they have an intense edgy anime battle of wits over who holds control of the body. Varus is what happens if Rhaast would win, Varus fully possessed two guys and merged their bodies, long story...)
Xerath hijacked Azir's ascension ritual and tried to ascend himself, tho it worked better than expected...? He became a being of pure energy. Not a real Ascended but he may be in the tribe in the game.
The Aspects of Targon (Diana, Leona, Taric, Pantheon and Zoe) are something else. Targon has these... celestial...gods...alien things, who might have an empire in the stars and enslaved Aurelion Sol somehow?? They choose human avatars for their powers. Zoe is just one of these gods themselves in person. Pantheon had one of them possess/empower him but something something the god died. He did leave some magic juice on Pantheon's abs tho so he has some cool powers still.
League lore. It's weird man.
I have a lore guide on Shurima in the works, and Targon is already out if the story behind the cards interests.
Everything else in your lore seems to be correct except Zoe. She is (or at least used to be) a regular human who got Aspect powers, and she was not the one to end the Darkin War (her predecessor did that).
This mostly accurate except for the Zoe part. The aspect who sealed the Darkin was called Myisha, she was the original aspect of twilight was the one gave Zoe her powers.
My guess is that ascendant champions will have an exclusive level 3.
This is what I see as the most likely thing.
Ascended are immortal Shuriman god-warriors that have gained their power from the Sun Disc. The Expansion trailer showed us Renekton (the crocodile), Nasus (the jackal), and emperor Azir (the hawk), who are all Ascended and likely to a) feature in the expansion b) belong to the tribe.
Oh my gosh Level 3 versions of Nasus Renekton and Axir (maybe xerath?) that sounds epi
All hail the mighty Exalted!
Correction. All hail the mighty Exalted! PORO
