Riot Games’ MOBA League of Legends continues expanding its roster of characters. Following the reveal of Zeri, the Spark of Zaun, the company is teasing a new champion. Welcome Renata Glasc, the Chem-Baroness. With her or against her, you’re always in her grasp.
“From humble origins in the Sump of Zaun, Glasc Industries founder Renata Glasc was inspired by her family’s alchemical practice to improve life across Zaun and Piltover alike. For the last 30 years, her visionary work has touched civil development, tech, and philanthropy, collaborating with both citizens and chem barons to keep the streets safe. Currently, she heads Glasc Industries in its next objective: redefining beauty through state-of-the-art technology. To those who seek a greater future, Renata Glasc embraces all.”
- Passive – Leverage. Renata Glasc’s basic attacks mark her enemies and deal bonus damage. Damage from Renata’s allies consumes the mark, dealing additional damage.
- Q – Handshake. Renata Glasc sends out a missile from her robotic arm that roots the first enemy hit. She can reactivate the ability to throw the enemy in a target direction, damaging enemies hit and stunning them if the thrown target is a champion.
- W – Bailout. Renata Glasc grants an allied champion or herself ramping Attack Speed and Move Speed toward enemies. If the ally gets a takedown on an enemy champion, the buff duration resets. If the ally would die while Bailout is still active, their health is set back to full but they begin burning to death over 3 seconds. The ally can stop the burn by getting a champion takedown before they die.
- E – Loyalty Program. Renata Glasc sends out chemtech rockets that shield allies and damage and slow enemies they pass through. The rockets also apply their effects around her on cast and in an explosion at max range.
- R – Hostile Takeover. Renata Glasc sends out a cloud of chemicals that causes enemies to go Berserk, increasing their Attack Speed and forcing them to basic attack anything around them. Berserk enemies prioritize attacking their own allies, then neutral units, then Renata Glasc’s team, then Renata Glasc herself.
Check out the teaser site for Glask Industries to learn a tiny morsel of lore surrounding the new champion. It is curious to note that both of the latest characters expand on the story of Piltover and Zaun, the location of Riot’s animated series Arcane. Is it possible we will learn more about them in the second season of the series? Stay tuned to find out.
