Riot has revealed the new League of Legends character Akshan.
In April, Riot hinted at a new character within the Sentinel of Light, and it has now been revealed. Akshan’s most notable feature is that he has a grappling rifle. In addition, the character can also use stealth and bring players back to life.
Akshan grew up on the streets of a Shurima village and died trying to help someone. He was revived by a woman named Shadya. She trained him to join the Sentinels, but was eventually killed. Akshan is now out for revenge.
