Tyari is the last of the mountain climbers to appear in other cards; first in Taric’s level one card art, where he’s seen greeting Tyari as the base of a spiraling staircase, then once again in "Arbiter of the Peak." This is the final time Tyari is seen. After braving the mountain and watching as the other climbers failed to reach the peak, the last test is the Arbiter, whose flavor text reveals that this is the final test of the mountain. The Arbiter looks into the climber’s spirit to see if they are wor

Role assignments are a little different compared to Summoner's Rift with 3 laners and 2 junglers compared to the 5 specialized roles in a normal League of Legends match. Additionally, Nexus Blitz only has 2 lanes so 1 player will always be going solo against an opponent. The jungle is split between the 2 lanes, with various camps filled by tougher monsters than those found on Summoner's Rift. The 2 junglers must work together to clear these camps, but will share increased EXP, gold, and buffs by doing

Still a part of CLG in 2020, Stixxay and his teammates finished dead last in the Spring Split, four games behind ninth-place Team Liquid. However, the team has gotten off to a 3-1 start in summer, already matching their win total from spr

Instead of traditional missions, 10 Spirit Bonds will be forged during Spirit Blossom 2020. To start, players need to click on each champion's picture to meet them and begin earning favor, the point system for different rewards. Make sure to talk to all the available portraits immediately since favor won't count for champions that haven't been spoken

Counter Logic Gaming's Trevor "Stixxay" Hayes has been through it all. He first joined the League of Legends organization as a substitute back in June of 2015. Nearly a year later, the bot laner won the 2016 North American Spring title in his first ever LCS sp

When playing Nexus Blitz, it's easy to forget that the main objective is still to destroy the enemy Nexus. Therefore, the Poro King reward is a really good reward to receive. The Poro King helps your team push lane and destroy turrets by tanking damage, healing allies periodically, and breathing fire on your enem

In the background, players can see Tyari fitting the necklace around his neck and an unnamed climber who seems to be the only one not wearing a necklace at all. The other two climbers are named in the flavor text. Halley is a Noxian woman looking to prove herself to her people by climbing Targon, and Emir is an optimistic Demacian who wants to prove he’s capable of something amazing. As of the beginning of the journey, there are four people attempting the cl

If anyone in North America has the experience to help their team gel together, Stixxay is definitely one of them. "I’ve been on the top, I’ve been on the bottom, I’ve been in the middle. The main thing I’ve learned in my journey, I guess, is just to not doubt myself and not to lose confidence in myself," Stixxay said when asked what he's learned from his experie

The next League of Legends event is finally arriving after Pulsefire 2020 previously ended over a month ago. From July 22nd to August 24th, Spirit Blossom 2020 is a summer celebration that brings back missions, prizes, and the Nexus Blitz game mode for participating play

After the offseason, the CLG bot laner feels as though his team has gone through a fundamental reset. Now, with the team off to a 3-1 start, Stixxay feels confident in his teammates to perform better than they did last sp

Battle Sled and Catapult of Champions offer your team insane mobility and initiation for the duration of the game. Both rewards allow Champions to quickly go to nearly any spot on the map and deal damage there. The Battle Sled allows players to jump in and then ride until they crash into an opponent or turret. It will then deal damage and all players inside the sled are brought out to fight. The Catapult of Champions is similar, but only one Champion can use it at a time and when that Champion lands, they will deal damage in an AOE and push away nearby enemies. Both rewards are great for initiating fights and disrupting the enemy posit

Spirit Blossom 2020 centers around the Ionian Spirit Blossom skins which are canon in League of Legends' lore. After a brief tease during this year's Anime Expo Lite stream, the skins were slowly revealed and culminated with a teaser video last week previewing Spirit Blossom's themes. While veteran players should be familiar with the reward structure, there are several different elements compared to past eve

Earlier today, League of Legends players got started on the latest event, Spirit Blossom 2020 and bonding with certain champions . But rewards aren't the only thing the community is excited about since the Nexus Blitz MOBA game items mode is also making its long-awaited ret

This is where Yone and Yasuo's kits begin to diverge, as Yone's W is very straight forward. This ability is a large cone in front of Yone (a Yone Cone) that deals damage based on an enemy's maximum health. Yone then gains a shield based on how many champions he hit with the initial strike. Spirit Cleave is a defensive ability that requires Yone to be actively engaged in combat, so it lends itself to a very all-in playstyle if players want to get the most defensive value out of the abil
