New 'League of Legends' Champion Video: Azir, Emperor of the Sands' Abilities & Moves Showcase
Information about a new 'League of Legends' champion has just been revealed. What makes it better, is that videos demonstrating all his moves have also been released.
The champion goes by the name of Azir, the Emperor of the Sands and uses the power of summons to do his fighting for him. Riot Games not only released the name of the champion, but gave the players a list and description of his abilities that can be expected when he steps onto the Summoner's Rift.
Azir has some interesting passive and active abilities, especially his "Disc of the Sun." Here are the official descriptions off his abilities list.
Passive: Will of the Emperor / Disc of the Sun
Cooldown reduction increases Azir's attack speed.
Azir raises a Sun Disc on the base of a destroyed turret (enemy inhibitor and nexus turrets are immune to this effect). Azir's Sun Disc behaves like a turret, except that it deals increased damage and grants Azir gold on minion or champion kills. The Sun Disc lasts for a short while and if Azir is killed or moves too far away, it loses armor.
Q: Conquering Sands
Azir orders all Sand Soldiers to rush at target position. The soldiers damage and slow all enemies they smash through as they rush into the fray. Azir gains attack speed if the soldiers strike an enemy champion.
W: Arise!
Azir summons an untargettable Sand Soldier-a memory of a Shuriman warrior-from the ground. Azir uses his basic attack as a command, ordering soldiers to attack for him, piercing through their target and dealing damage in a line. Sand Soldiers attack even if Azir himself isn't in basic attack range. The soldiers fade back to sand after a short while or when their emperor leaves them behind.
E: Shifting Sands
Azir feints, rushing to target Sand Soldier. If Azir collides with an enemy champion, he stops, knocking them up and gaining a shield.
R: Emperor's Divide
Azir calls forth a phalanx of shield-wielding soldiers who press forward, knocking back and damaging enemies. When the soldiers finish their charge, they stand as a wall, blocking enemy champion movement and dashes. Allies can pass through the wall and gain a speed boost when they do. These soldiers cannot be ordered to move or attack.
