League of Legends revealed its newest champion, Zaahen, a few days ahead of the League of Legends World Championships on November 9. While fans got their first look at Zaheen through an exciting new cinematic trailer, they’ll have to wait a little longer to try him out in-game — Zaheen will officially release on November 19, 11AM PDT (approx. 3AM MYT).
A member of the powerful Darkin race, Zaahen hunts his fellow Darkin while defying the corruption that threatens to consume him. Though he was once willingly sealed within his glaive to stave off madness, he now walks free, noble in heart yet vicious in purpose. Zaahen fights an eternal war within — but so long as he endures, he will rise above all who seek to bring Runeterra to ruin.
Abilities
- Passive – Cultivation of War
- Zaahen’s attacks and abilities against enemy champions grant him stacks of Determination, gaining bonus Attack Damage per stack. When filled with Determination, Zaahen gains increased Attack Damage and can revive.

- E – Aureate Rush
- Zaahen dashes to a location and slices around himself.
