November 25, 2019 Riot has posted an Aphelios trailer and more information about the upcoming champion.

Attention, League of Legends fans – a new champion is on the way. That’s according to a new biography that’s appeared on the League of Legends Universe site unveiling Aphelios, ‘The Weapon of the Faithful,’ and a new trailer you can check out right now, below. Plus, he arrives in League of Legends patch 9.24.

The bio states that Aphelios will be a marksman, belonging to the small group of Targonian Lunari in the game, alongside existing LoL champions Zoe and Diana. His introduction follows hot on the heels of fellow marksman champion, Senna, The Redeemer, who arrived with the recent League of Legends patch 9.22, and featured as part of the virtual LoL hip-hop group True Damage at the LoL Worlds 2019.

“Born during a rare lunar convergence, when the physical moon was eclipsed by its reflection in the spirit realm, Aphelios and his twin sister, Alune, were celebrated as children of destiny by those of Targon’s Lunari faith,” the description reads. While Alune is a “seer” gifted with magic, Aphelios’ power is physical, having a mastery of the “mystical moonstone blades.”
