League of Legends' upcoming champion, Naafiri, is expected to be a mid laner assassin with a lot of explosion and gap-closing potential. However, it can also work well in the jungle, considering it regenerates cooldowns on monster hits and can use your hounds to build tanks. The newest Darkin character will be the second champion to be released in 2023, after Milio.
Naafiri will debut with the new LoL patch , but the good news is, players can try the character on PBE right now.
Naafir abilities:
Passive - Supper of Hounds: Naafiri summons hounds that attack targets of her attacks and abilities.
Q - Darkin Dagger: Naafiri throws up to two daggers. If the target is bleeding, this ability deals bonus damage and inflicts bonus bleeding. Greyhounds dash to attack targets hit.
W - In the Footsteps of the Hounds: Naafiri and his hounds dash towards an enemy and slam into the first champion hit, dealing damage.
E - Pierce His Belly: Naafiri dashes, dealing damage to nearby enemies and recalling his hounds, completely regenerating their health.
R - Summon of the Pack: Naafiri strengthens her pack and summons more hounds. When attacking a champion, he gains instant speed boost, vision, and shield. These effects are refreshed the first time they take down a champion.
Players will meet Naafiri and his pack in the 13.14 patch notes . With the passive ability of this new character, which you will progress as a dog, you can summon a hound as a relentless force. There will also be a special interaction in the game that allows players to show their love for Naafiri.
Story Writer John "JohnODyin" O'Bryan had this to say about the new champion:
Dogs alone don't scare them. You can't be afraid of a coyote. It is the herd that you should be afraid of. Every time you turn your back, another one approaches you. We started to generate ideas on it. We didn't want to focus on an alpha idea. What we wanted to focus on was the symbiont structure of the herd.
Naafiri Soul Fighter skin
In addition to his debut, Naafiri will also get his first champion skin with League of Legends' upcoming Spirit Fighter event. You can get the new LoL skin worth 1350 RP by purchasing discounted rp from Foxngame.
12 Spirit Fighter skins will be added to the game, including Naafiri's opening art.
