League of Legends’ newest champion, Locke, is heading to the Rift on June 24th. This Ashen Exorcist from Demacia has hunted demons his whole life, but a possessed Vayne will be his greatest challenge yet.
The developers have described his playstyle as a bigh-burst assassin – provided you can get his setup right. You will be able to try him out for yourself in Patch 26.13. The team also described their plans for ARAM, Ranked 5s, skins and more, follow the link above to find out the details.
A nail-slinging exorcist versed in forbidden rites, Corvin Locke is the progeny of Demacian occultists. Born into lies and hypocrisy, he learned young that demons aren’t the cause of humanity’s darkness, but the consequence. Now, Locke tears through every soul, exposing its darkness, intent on making the world a more honest place… one exorcism at a time.
- Passive – Silver Stake. Locke pins enemies’ souls with his attacks dealing bonus magic damage On-Hit, increased based on enemy missing Health.
- Q – Ritual Nails. Locke readies a set of Soul Nails to throw forward dealing magic damage, marking enemies hit. The nails apply a slow based on stacks. Attacking the enemy consumes the Soul Nails dealing magic damage per stack. Restores a portion of cooldown and mana for unspent Nails.
- W – Soul Ignition. Locke releases his own seals gaining Move Speed decaying over time. While this effect is active, he suffers % health true damage per second but heals back a portion of damage taken plus an additional amount based on missing health and time passed. The seals remain unbound for a few seconds and can be Recast to end early.
- E – Ashen Pursuit. Locke blinks to a location, dealing magic damage around him. After, his next attack dashes to his target dealing magic damage to all enemies in his path. Each of these hits consume Soul Nails. Cooldown resets on takedown.
- R – Purgatory. Locke kicks a binding artifact to a location that opens on arrival, shooting chained Soul Nails at enemies in the area dealing magic damage and slowing. Marked Champions that are brought below a threshold are pulled inside and killed. If a Champion is executed, the duration of the binding is reset on other affected Champions. After a few seconds, the artifact seals itself and is left on the ground if a Champion was sealed. If Locke picks up the artifact, he permanently increases the execution threshold and refunds a portion of his current cooldown for each Champion sealed.
