‘League of Legends’ New Champion News, Abilities List: Riot Releases New Jungle Champion Kindred [VIDEO]
'League of Legends' the popular MOBA style game does not seem to be slowing down as its developer, Riot Games, continues to pump out new content. Recently, the developers at Riot released the latest champion to hit the Summoner's Rift, and that's Kindred, the Eternal Hunters.
Before jumping into the abilities and skills Kindred brings to the game, it's important to note that this champion is a touch different than other 'League of Legends' champs. Firstly, Kindred is more of a cooperative team, rather than a singular champion.
However, while the player controls the primary Lamb, he or she still uses the abilities and aid of the orbiting Lamb to quash enemies, especially those in the jungle.
On that note, Riot has made it a point to announce that this champion is for the most part a Jungler. According to the official 'League of Legends' announcement post, Kindred is "...a marksman designed for a life in the jungle. Kindred prowls through camps, marking enemy champions for death and permanently growing in strength if they're able to carry out the promised sentence."
Moving onto Kindred's abilities, check out the official descriptions of the moves provided by Riot below:
- Passive: Mark of the Kindred
- Lamb marks an enemy champion - anywhere on the map - for death. After a delay, the mark activates - if Kindred kills them, or assists in their death, they gain a permanent stackable bonus to their basic attacks. In addition to Lamb choosing an enemy champion for the Mark of the Kindred, Wolf automatically hungers for large enemy jungle monsters from time to time. All champions can see targets that are marked for death.
- Q: Dance of Arrows
- Kindred dashes in a target direction before firing at up to three nearby enemies.
- W: Wolf's Frenzy
- Passive: Kindred builds stacks of Hunter's Vigor as they move around. Once fully stacked, Kindred's next basic attack steals a flat amount of health.
- Active: Wolf temporarily splits from Lamb, creating a large spirit zone around him and attacking whoever Lamb attacks, or his closest enemy. Lamb can cast Dance of Arrows with a greatly reduced cooldown while inside Wolf's Frenzy.
- E: Mounting Dread
- Kindred initially slows a targeted enemy. If they're then able to attack their crippled target three times in quick succession, the target suffers a burst of percent max health damage.
- R: Lamb's Respite
- Kindred creates a large but temporary zone beneath itself or a targeted ally. While active, Lamb's Respite prevents ALL units within its boundaries from dropping below critical levels of health. Finally, Lamb's Respite applies a flat heal to all champions still inside as it ends.
