- Gwen
- Alistar
- Vladimir

- Leona
Illaoi
Her tentacles can come in clutch a lot as the arena is quite small with a lot of terrain for you to abuse and push your opponents in a corner.

LoL Arena S Tier Champions
These champions are also incredible in their own way, and if you can fully utilize their potential, you will be guaranteed the first spot.
- Kayle
- Sylas
Dr. Mundo
Mundo is proving himself as a great tank even in the Arena Mode. Heavily relying on his crowd control tools and great damage, he has the potential to be a menace.
- Kog’Maw
- Rell
- Pyke
- Zac
- Udyr
- Lucian
- Skarner
Kennen
This little yordle is not to be underestimated as his ultimate can quickly turn the tide in your favor.

LoL Arena A Tier Champions
The power creep is slowly getting lower with the next tiers in this list, but these champions can still be fun and are very viable in most games.
- Volibear
- Senna
Aatrox
His low-cooldown abilities enable him to be quite a menacing fighter once you get a couple of items on him. He can easily stick to targets so better make use of his oppressive kit.
- Vi
- Master Yi
- Talon
- Rek’Sai
- Sivir
- Mordekaiser
- Syndra
- Garen
- Sion
Anivia
There is a fun cheese tactic that can let you permanently wall off opponents so they die from the shrinking arena size.

- Ekko
- Cassiopeia
- Fizz
- Singed

LoL Arena B Tier Champions
The power levels are getting lower, but you can still run these champions without seeing too much resistance, although they are outclassed by the champions in the tiers above.
- Wukong
- Twisted Fate
- Ivern
Lulu
Great utility and shielding while still being able to pack a punch if you get some AP items as well.
- Lulu
- Veigar
- Cho’Gath
- Yorick
Darius
While this champion can be placed higher, his lack of gap closers might hurt him in certain games.
- Malphite
- Kha’Zix
- Tahm Kench
- Yasuo

LoL Arena C Tier Champions
These champions could use some love from Riot as they are way too reliant on items and augments.
- Taric
- Warwick
- Jayce
- Veigar
- Azir
- Nunu & Willump
- Hecarim
Bard
It will be very difficult for Bard to gather enough chimes for his passive so his power level is not that great in comparison to other champions.
- Ryze
- Olaf
- Shen
- Evelynn
- Rammus
- Maokai
- Twitch
- Yuumi
- Shyvana
- Soraka
- Janna
Zeri
Although her being able to go over walls might help in dire situations, but the map is too small for her to be able to kite the enemy champions.

- Rakan
- Xayah

- Hwei
- Briar
- Xerath
- Nidalee
- Pantheon

- Vel’Koz
- Zoe
- Milio
- Miss Fortune
- Soraka
- Sona
- Teemo
- Kalista

- Jinx
- LeBlanc
- Ziggs
- Akshan
- Kled
- Qiyana
- Gangplank
- Viktor

He has great synergy with certain champions for a clean combo, but he does not offer much damage to make him viable enough to be a staple pick.
