Riot Games announced that Smolder, the new League of Legends marksman champion, is coming in Patch 14.3, which is slated for release on February 7, 2024. Check out the latest champ's skills and other details below.
Overview
Here's a brief summary by Riot Games of the story of Smolder:
After Noxian beastmasters led several expeditions to the fallen kingdom of Camavor in search of imperial dragons, they finally discovered and stole a hatchling. Despite the hatchling's mother setting the ship ablaze to save him, he was lost in the chaos. Washing ashore to the craggy islands south of the capital, the hatchling was found by a young boy who named him Smolder.
One day, while playing around, Smolder started a fire that burned through an entire forest. Upon seeing the smoke, Smolder's mother descended on the island, finally reuniting with her son. Now, under the watchful eyes of his mother, Smolder is learning what it means to be heir to the Camavoran imperial dragon lineage. Playful and keen to grow up, he is eager for any excuse to practice his burgeoning abilities. Though still a fledgling, Smolder's skills are nothing to sneeze at, setting fire to anything that burns.
Meanwhile, here's the voice line of Smolder, "The Fiery Fledgling":
My name's "Ignacarious Gigantareno Rex Le Spes Offerentis," but my human friend named me Smolder!
