League of Legends’ new champion can save allies from death, for a price

League of Legends is getting a dark and ominous new champion named Renata Glasc. The Chem Baroness is an Enchanter support who comes from a family of alchemists from Zaun. Riot first teased Renata last week, giving the champion her own website dedicated to her company.

Renata’s kit is typical of Enchanters, but fits well into her slightly darker theme. Her Passive, Leverage, applies a mark that allies can detonate for additional damage, and her Q, Handshake, roots enemies before throwing them in a specific direction. Renata also has a damaging ability that shields allies as her E, but her W, Bailout, is her most interesting basic ability.

Bailout grants Renata’s allies (or herself) a temporary attack speed and movement speed buff that resets if they get a kill. If the ally would die while the shield is on them, they’re granted full health, but start to burn to death over three seconds. If they get a kill during the burn, it will immediately stop, and they’ll continue to live with the amount of health they have left.

Finally, Renata’s R, Hostile Takeover, causes her enemies to go Berserk, giving them an attack speed buff, but also forcing them to immediately basic attack anything around them, starting with allied champions, then neutral units, then Renata’s allies, then Renata herself.

Renata Glasc is set to arrive inLeague of Legends with patch 12.4, which should be out in about two weeks. Before that, Renata will go live on the Public Beta Environment, where players can test her as Riot makes tweaks to her kit and balance.

Renata Glasc’s basic attacks mark her enemies and deal bonus damage. Damage from Renata’s allies consumes the mark, dealing additional damage.
