Riot Games, the developer ofLeague of Legendshas cooked up something huge this Summer for its players.
What’s happening in the world of Anima Squad?
What is Swarm?
Think Vampire Survivors, but with a couple of twists that you might not find in other survivor games.
As they level up, they also receive augments that add status effects to their champion.
Note that this game mode uses the WASD system, instead of League’s usual keyboard and mouse controls.
The more exciting upgrades come in the form of weapons.
For this game mode, the dev team added someSpiresto spice up your run now and then.
Meanwhile, theYuumi spirecan present you and your teammates with a quest.
If you succeed in that quest, you are rewarded with plenty of coins and some rare upgrades.
Aside from the spires, there will be boss fights with different boss mechanics per fight.
Rek’Sai, the introductory boss, features simpler patterns designed to help players clear her successfully.
For instance, she creates burrows that must be destroyed before she can reach you.
Success in destroying these burrows results in dealing significant damage to Rek’Sai.
Aatroxserves as the final boss on the ultimate map, presenting players with more intricate mechanics.
One such challenge involves being chained to a pillar that must be destroyed.
Failure to do so significantly increases the risk of death as Aatrox relentlessly hurls swords at you.
It’s a tough hurdle, pushing players to refine their skills and strategy to complete the whole game.
