Riot announced the next new hero of "League of Legends" yesterday - Yunara Yonglan. She will appear in version 25.14 and looks like a physical output core (ADC) hero.
In terms of background story, Yonglan was the "Shadow Fist" of the Balanced Sect during the Dark Secret War.During the war, she sacrificed herself to seal the Dark Seed Scythe in the spiritual realm.However, centuries later, the incident of Ionia's flower blossoming brought her back to the present world together with her temple.
In-game modeling:
Riot is trying to return to the original form of ADC, i.e. focus on flat A.
Yonglan's skill group reflects this in a concentrated way.Her Q skill "Cultivation of Spirit" will gain a "release" effect for each attack, and an additional layer will be obtained when attacking heroes or causing critical strikes.When reaching the maximum number of layers, you can actively activate the Q skill to obtain attack speed, additional damage to the normal attack, and make her normal attack with small range of splash damage.
Q Skill Icon:
Her W skill, Arc of Judgment, fires a Buddhist bead forward, causing damage to enemies on the path and slows down.The Buddhist beads will expand and stay for a moment at the end, causing damage to enemies within range.
W skill icon:
Yonara's E skill, Kanmei's Steps, will give her extra movement speed.
E Skill Icon:
Yonara's R skill "Transcend One's Self" will allow her to enter a "transcended state" within seconds.This slightly changes all her skills: her Q skill will automatically activate; her W skill becomes Arc of Ruin, firing a magic beam instead of a Buddhist bead; her E skill becomes Untouchable Shadows, allowing her to sprint.
R skill icon:
After the ultimate move is triggered, the E and W skills icons are:
In addition, Yoonara has a passive skill that causes her critical strikes to deal magic damage (replace some physical damage).
Passive icon:
Yonara is scheduled to be released in the 25.14 version of "League of Legends", which is two more versions away from the current version.The official launch date is July 16, 2025, a full month later.
