Developer Riot Games shared a new gameplay trailer for MOBA League of Legends to introduce players to the latest character to join the roster: Milio, the Gentle Flame. A warmhearted boy from Ixtal, this support character brings warm, fuzzy feelings whenever he goes, accompanied by the fiery, friendly fuemigos.
At just 12 years old, Milio shows impressive control over the fire axiom and an inherent understanding of his powers as well as the notion that he must use them for good. Fire as a power source typically calls to mind offensive spells that burn and scorch. But the soft glow of Milio’s healing flame is a far cry from the aggressive fireballs of champions like Brand or Annie.
Riot shared Milio’s in-universe biography for those who are interested in the boy’s story. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at his abilities!
- Passive – Fired Up! – Milio’s abilities enchant allies on touch, making their next damage deal a burst of extra damage and burn the target.
- Q – Ultra Mega Fire Kick. Milio kicks a ball that knocks back an enemy. The ball launches upward on hit and falls toward the enemy, damaging and slowing enemies in the area upon impact.
- W – Cozy Campfire. Milio creates an empowering zone that heals allies and increases attack range to those inside. The zone follows the ally nearest to the cast point.
- E – Warm Hugs. Milio tosses a shield to an ally, temporarily increasing their movement speed.
- R – Breath of Life. Milio unleashes a wave of soothing flames that heal and remove crowd control effects from allies in range.
