In this article, we break down each new champion, what their kit does, and where they look strongest.

Born among the High Elves yet untouched by their warmth, Sabrael walked a path far removed from her kin. She studied control, time, and the unseen threads that bind battle together. In her pursuit of perfection, she split her own essence, becoming both an untouchable manipulator and a ruthless executioner.

BASE FORM

In her base form, Sabrael is one of the most oppressive control champions in the game, built for high-end Arena play and wave domination. Her kit revolves around denying enemy turns and dismantling setups before they begin.

Her A1 places Sleep and triggers automatically when enemies gain Turn Meter, targeting the enemy with the highest. This creates constant disruption, especially against speed-based teams. Enemies that try to accelerate their turns risk being shut down instantly.

Her A2 is a double hitter with a AoE buff strip that removes all enemy buffs. She then spreads her own buffs to allies, this ability alone makes her a top-tier counter to buff-heavy compositions.

Her A3 hits twice, with each hit increasing the cooldown of a enemy skills to maximum, for most champions with 2 or less skills this is essentially a full lockout. It also reduces Turn Meter by 30%, and grants her an extra turn. This allows her to chain directly into her A2, leaving enemies stripped, delayed, and unable to respond.

Her passive prevents all damage taken outside of enemy turns, making her immune to counterattacks and ally attacks. It also boosts ally damage based on how many enemy skills she has put on cooldown, scaling up to 25%. This turns control into direct team damage.
