The Ultimate Arena Tier List: Your Guide to League of Legends’ Newest Challenge

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the latest challenge in the League of Legends universe – the Arena Tier List. This post offers you an in-depth analysis of each champion’s standing in the new 2v2v2v2 game mode, assisting you in mastering the upcoming Summer Event 2023.

Patch 13.14 was released on July 20 and breathed new life into League of Legends by adding a new game mode called Arena. Although players from all over the world are interested in this novel mode, it can be difficult to determine which of the game’s 164 champions are the best.

In the Arena mode, eight players compete in a fight that is split into four teams of two. Players have access to a wide variety of Augments and the map is constantly evolving to showcase new landscapes. The addition of this mode and its tier system makes League of Legends that much more exciting. It can be difficult to select the best champions from the pool of nearly 170 available for the Arena.

Fear not, we’ve spent countless hours navigating the new mode and testing various duos, allowing us to compile this Arena Tier List. This list categorizes the best champions for the Arena mode according to their performance.

The Crème de la Crème: S-Tier Champions In The Arena

The following champions are the epitome of excellence in the Arena mode. If you aim to consistently triumph in your gladiatorial battles in the new season 13 game modes, these are the best champions to play in the Arena:

• Taric
• Jax
• Annie
• Fiora
• Kayle
• Kennen
• Master Yi
• Vayne
• Heimerdinger
• Cassiopeia
• Kayn
• Swain
• Warwick
• Kai’Sa

These champions hail from different roles in the game’s Summoner’s Rift modes. What sets them apart is their exceptional scaling potential. Additionally, many require some mechanical skills, like Vayne, Jax, or Illaoi. But once mastered, they can become invaluable assets in your Arena duo.

Moreover, the majority of these champions have kits that make them formidable in close-quarters combat. Strategic usage of their ultimate and other abilities will be key to attaining victory and climbing the ladder.

Diving Deeper: A Closer Look at the S-Tier Champions

Taric

Taric is an ideal companion for any hyper carry in the Arena, already securing his place as a must-ban champion in the dueling mode. According to League stats site MetaSRC, he currently boasts a 57 percent ban rate and wins 64.8 percent of matches. From our Arena ranked experience, he’s undeniably the top pick at the moment.

Jax

Jax, the Grand master at Arms, is a powerhouse in the Arena, despite lacking a real weapon. He enjoys a 60 percent win rate in the eight-player mode.

Annie

Annie’s devastating E, W, Flash, Q, R combo makes her a force to be reckoned with in close-quarters League games, explaining her popularity in Arena.

Fiora

As a champion designed for one-on-one battles, Fiora naturally shines in the Arena, boasting a 61.45 percent win rate.

Kayle

Kayle, the scaling monster of Summoner’s Rift, wins nearly 59 percent of Arena games and faces a substantial 29.9 percent bans.

Kennen

Kennen’s Slicing Maelstrom ultimate and its 550 radius make him a fierce competitor in the Arena, reflected in his 64 percent win rate.

Master Yi

Master Yi, the original League samurai, has a 54.39 percent win rate and is an excellent choice for the Arena, thanks to his Double Strike ability and his mid-combat sustain from Meditate.

Vayne

Vayne’s Silver Bolts, Condemn, and Final Hour abilities create a potent combination in the Arena, earning her the fourth-highest win rate at 62.32 percent.

Heimerdinger

With his stack of turrets, Heimerdinger proves to be a formidable opponent in the Arena.

Cassiopeia

With a win rate second only to Taric, Cassiopeia is a strong pick for the Arena. Her Petrifying Gaze ability can seal victory in your favor.

Kayn

Kayn’s Brutalizer abilities make him a powerhouse in the Arena, using his added attack damage, ability haste, and lethality to wreak havoc on opponents.

Swain

With a simple press of R to activate your Demonic Ascension, Swain secures victories in 58.11 percent of matches.

Warwick

Warwick, a formidable hunter, wins 60 percent of matches in the Arena, proving his claws are just as sharp in the closed-off battlefield.

Kai ‘Sa

Despite upcoming nerfs on the Rift, Kai’Sa remains a lethal threat in the Arena, winning 59.25 percent of matches.

Sett

Sett, League‘s iconic pit brawler, is a natural fit for the game’s new pit brawler mode, winning over half of his matches.

Shaco

Like Heimerdinger, Shaco brings additional tools into the Arena, turning the battlefield into a challenging maze for enemies with his traps.
