Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 25.14. Highlights include a brand new champion release, Yunara, as well as hefty adjustments to Kled's kit, and three new Dawnbringer and Nightbringer skins.
These changes appeared on PBE on the 25th of June, but have been slowly shifting over the past week, and may continue to do so. As such, keep in mind that not all of these changes may make it to the live patch. If you’d like to check any of the following changes out before Wednesday, hop on PBE and queue up!
New Cosmetics
Nightbringer Evelynn and Dawnbringer Janna were added to the Pass last Patch, and now three new skins will also be joining the popular skinline. You can acquire Nightbringer Yuumi and Nightbringer Hecarim for 1350 RP, or, if you favour order over chaos, Dawnbringer Kalista, also for 1350 RP.
Yunara is joining the League with Patch 25.14, but won’t be joining either side of this cosmic battle. Instead, Yunara’s release skin belongs to a brand new skinline—Spirit Blossom Springs. Spirit Blossom Springs Yunara is another Epic skin, priced at 1350 RP as usual.
New Champion: Yunara
Yunara joins the fray on Patch day next Wednesday! Hop on PBE right now to test her kit out if you’d like, or read our article on Yunara to get better acquainted before she makes her grand entrance. As a quick sneak peek, we’ll go over her kit one more time here:
Yunara’s passive, Vow of the First Lands, causes Yunara’s critical strikes to deal bonus magic damage. Cultivation of Spirit, her Q, passively grants her basic attacks bonus magic damage on-hit as well. She passively accumulates stacks of Unleash with her passive when she attacks. After reaching 8 stacks, Yunara can activate her Q to gain bonus attack speed and deal bonus damage.
Her W and E abilities both have two different effects depending on whether Yunara is in her ultimate form or not. If she isn’t, her W, Arc of Judgement, launches a spinning projectile towards a target direction that grants sight, and slows and damages a target it hits. Her E, Kanmei’s Steps, grants her movement speed and allows her to ignore unit collision, granting more movement speed if facing a visible enemy.
Her ultimate, Transcend One’s Self, augments Yunara’s other abilities for 15 seconds while Yunara is in a transcended state. Cultivation of Spirit becomes active at no cost, while Arc of Judgement and Kanmei’s Steps become different abilities altogether—Arc of Ruin and Untouchable Shadow, respectively. Arc of Ruin is now a beam that deals magic damage and applies a significant slow, while Untouchable Shadow grants Yunara a dash.
Kled Adjustments
Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard
