League Classic is Getting Five New Champions in September
Riot Games will add five new champions to League Classic next month. Fiora, Galio, Poppy, Shyvana, and Xin Zhao will arrive in Patch 26.18 on September 10, marking a Demacia-themed expansion for the classic mode. This follows the previous addition of three ninja champions—Kennen, Akali, and Shen—to the roster.
According to the latest PBE update, the new patch includes various balance changes alongside the champion additions. Fiora’s kit features her Duelist passive ability, which regenerates 8 health over 6 seconds whenever she deals physical damage, stacking up to 4 times when striking enemy champions. Her Lunge ability (Q) allows her to dash forward and strike a target for physical damage scaling with ability rank and bonus attack damage, with cooldowns ranging from 16 to 8 seconds based on rank.
These additions represent the latest content update for League Classic, Riot’s mode that features champion pools from earlier eras of League of Legends development.
