The second season of Arcane is also a major focus for Season 2024, bringing with it the announcement that a character from the show, Ambessa Medarda, will be added to LoL's roster of champions. Here's everything we know about her so far:
Ambessa Medarda Joins LoL
Ambessa Medarda is set to become the first Arcane character to transition into a League of Legends champion. This is a departure from the usual process, where characters like Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, and many others originated in League of Legends before appearing in other media. While Silco briefly joined TFT, Ambessa Medarda will be a permanent champion in the LoL universe.
As a Noxian champion, details regarding Ambessa Medarda's release date, skins, abilities, and more are currently unavailable. Visually, it is speculated that she will likely be designed as a tank.
