Imagine let's say a spell that goes something like "Destroy an ally landmark to have allies strike random enemies" Have the Sun Disk, this new Sarcophagus landmark (or any other landmark that summons a unit), and all four level-1 ascended champions, destroy the Sarcophagus to summon the last unit needed to level up Azir, Nasus strikes with 10 power, Renek strikes with enough to level up, and Xerath leveling up from the destroyed Sarcophagus. Ideal situation to have 9 cinematics in a row from a single card! :D But if we don't get such a spell, I guess we could still at least have them on the same turn maybe

He isnt that powerfull, still i think he is the strongest of the shuriman gods. Power similar to A Sol will probably have Aatrox, tho Aatrox would have combat unbeatable power, so its a lot weaker than A Sol creating strongest units for zero mana.

Never once I thought about how much Nasus must hate Xerath for turning Renekton against him. Also there are A LOT of new champions this expansion. I was used to just two or three new ones, maybe a skin.
Not that anybody cares but Xerath’s level 3 ascension is a mirror of Azir’s. That’s really wholesome and also really tragic. Riot pls give your artists a raise.
I was expecting a re-design and I was not disappointed. Adding the gold lining to the borders of each segment of his sarcophagus adds so much more impact and color contrast than one can even imagine. Additionally, the pillars that his arcane energy destroy in his splash art and Ascension animation just amplify the feeling of immense power as an ascended.
So no one gonna mention how Xerath says "Unlimited Power" in his lvl 2 animation while lightning-zapping a dude? Like certain someone who did that with a black man wielding purple glowing stick? Or, alternatively, find any similarities of being armoured living lighting saying phrase about power like someone similar from a game starting with Star and ending on Craft?

Me: Watching all shurima champion level up at the same time and my one little spider.
I was expecting a re-design and I was not disappointed. Adding the gold lining to the borders of each segment of his sarcophagus adds so much more impact and color contrast than one can even imagine. Additionally, the pillars that his arcane energy destroy in his splash art and Ascension animation just amplify the feeling of immense power as an ascended.
Xeraht Save Mono Shurima
Copium?
So no one gonna mention how Xerath says "Unlimited Power" in his lvl 2 animation while lightning-zapping a dude? Like certain someone who did that with a black man wielding purple glowing stick? Or, alternatively, find any similarities of being armoured living lighting saying phrase about power like someone similar from a game starting with Star and ending on Craft?
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought about that xD
The redesignes are amazing
Man, I forgot that Xerath was that big. I thought that he was a small as Azit. He could be a raid boss man, looks sick af in all his levels.
I knew he would get a second level up! Yes!
I literally was thinking about what a champion Xerath card would be in LoR last night when I was playing him in clash lol.
Looks great. Love the animations as usual~
Well he still cares about azir even in his dying breath 0:51
POWER OVERWHELMING
Can we all agree that xerath has some of the best voicelines

Too bad that Xerath have the classic damage annimation, they could give to champions specials one like for him lighting effect would be so cool !
Almost forgot to watch xerath reveal today
why does every champion in LoR look so much better than in LoL
Fr, can't wait for rumble, corki and singed
Art department is well-oiled currently! Plus, they have more freedom to explore their visuals compare to LoL's top down view.
taliyah duplicating servitude of desolation
FINALLY...ALL THE ASCENDED WILL RISE AGAIN WITH THE GLORY OF SHURIMA!!🐥🐶🐊⚡
"Bear witness to the only true ascended!"
"and uh just ignore the 19/14 Nasus over there
"If it would die, obliterate it instead"
the whole LOR community to tryndamere players: Stop kicking him, he's already dead
💀✋-
If I see Azir, Irelia or Sivir being summoned obliterate it from the game. Yeah, that should be better.
