League of Legends’ new champion Zeri is a flash marksman from Zaun

Zeri is League of Legends’ newest champion. Unlike Riot’s normal reveals, Zeri seemed to show up almost out of the blue with a champion page on the League of Legends website.

Unfortunately, Riot hasn’t announced exactly what Zeri’s abilities do just yet, but her champion page does say that she’s a marksman and includes a brief description of her powers:

A headstrong, spirited young woman from Zaun’s working-class, Zeri channels her electric magic to charge herself and her custom-crafted gun. She is volatile and her power mirrors her emotions. Her sparks reflect her fast approach to life. Zeri has a deep compassion for others and constantly brings her love of her family, her home, into any fight. Zeri is not always able to give the best of her heart, but she believes that if you stand up for your community it will support you.

The description suggests that Zeri will be an ADC who is electricity-themed and has quick movement and attacks. Of course, we’ll have to wait until Riot shows off her whole kit to know exactly what she can do.

Zeri’s champion page also reveals that she is from Zaun and her only related champion at the moment is Ekko. While there’s no way to know for sure, this certainly seems to hint that she could be an important part of Arcane season 2, or at least a part of Ekko’s life in Zaun with the family of misfits he protects and leads.

There’s no word yet on when Zeri will be released, but her kit should be revealed sometime in the next few days and arrive in the full game a couple of weeks later.
