An imposing new champion has arrived in the League of Legends this week. And alongside this Noxian general, we’ve got a rustic new look for Morgana, the Fallen Angel and an armored take on Swain, the Master Tactician.

Welcome to the Darius Champion Spotlight, summoners! Darius is a front-line melee fighter who wades into battle, dishing out tons of punishment. Whether buffing himself for hitting multiple enemies, slowing and then pulling fleeing victims back in, or finally crashing down for a killing blow, Darius is ready to make a grand entrance into the League. For those interested in executing the competition, take a look at the Darius Champion Spotlight!

In the Darius Patch, we’ll also be rolling out a new upgrade option to the classic Magic Resistance item Chalice of Harmony. To help keep Chalice a viable item choice late into the game, we wanted to add a late game upgrade aimed specifically at Ability Power carries who might have trouble keeping their Mana high. With that in mind, we’ve added the option to add some damage stats later in the game by upgrading to Athene’s Unholy Grail.

The Chalice Conundrum

The added Magic Resistance from Chalice of Harmony combined with the heavy Mana Regeneration granted by its unique passive makes it an attractive option for an Ability Power in a disadvantageous position – particularly one that is heavily reliant on the Crest of the Ancient Golem. In the event that you find yourself behind your lane opponent with the enemy team invading your jungle, a timely Chalice can give you the added durability you need to rally. Meanwhile, the rapid Mana Regeneration can function as a sort of surrogate golem buff, allowing even the most heavily Mana reliant caster to continue fighting effectively.
