Renata is League of Legends’ new alchemist champion

Big business requires a steady hand and iron will, and League of Legends’ newest champion, Renata, has both in spades.

Renata Glasc, also known as the Chem Baroness, is the 159th champion in  League of Legends. Being a businesswoman who’s proficient at alchemy, Renata’s skills are appropriately rife with corporate jargon and alchemic compounds — the complete opposite of Zeri.

What’s in Renata’s toolkit?

Passive – Leverage

Renata’s standard attacks mark her enemies and deal bonus damage. Damage from Renata’s allies consumes the mark, dealing additional damage.

Q – Handshake

Renata sends out a missile from her robotic arm that roots the first enemy hit. She can reactivate the ability to throw the enemy in a target direction, damaging enemies hit and stunning them if the thrown target is a champion.

W – Bailout

Renata grants an allied champion or herself ramping Attack Speed and Move Speed toward enemies. If the ally gets a takedown on an enemy champion, the buff duration resets. If the ally would die while Bailout is still active, their health is set back to full but they begin burning to death over 3 seconds. The ally can stop the burn by getting a champion takedown before they die.

E – Loyalty Program

Renata sends out chemtech rockets that shield allies and damage and slow enemies they pass through. The rockets also apply their effects around her on cast and in an explosion at max range.

R – Hostile Takeover

Renata sends out a cloud of chemicals that causes enemies to go Berserk, increasing their Attack Speed and forcing them to basic attack anything around them. Berserk enemies prioritize attacking their own allies, then neutral units, then Renata’s team, then Renata herself.

Check out Renata’s gameplay trailer for yourself below. It’s not as flashy as Season 12’s cinematic, but at least we get a glimpse of her personality.

Renata is coming with patch 12.4, which is probably coming out sometime in the next couple of weeks. She should be live on the Public Beta Environment (PBE) sometime before then as well.
