League of Legends’ Xayah and Rakan are here

Xayah and Rakan were released today with League of Legends Patch 7.8.

The dynamic duo went live with some extra features and goodies, so before you dive into the game client to buy them and try them out, let’s get into the whats, whys, and hows of League’s two newest champions.

Champion Spotlight

We already went into detail on each of Xayah and Rakan’s abilities, skills, and a little strategy, but Riot’s own David “Phreak” Turley dives deeper into both champions so you can see them in action.

Release Skins

Both Xayah and Rakan were launched with fantastic Cosmic skins to join Kassadin in the Cosmic skin line. The skins are themed to match their respective champion. Xayah’s is dark and in the twilight, and Rakan’s embodies the dawn sunrise.
