Come one, come all to the League of Legends game mode: Arena! In this special mode, 8 players compete against each other in multiple 2v2 rounds in the arena.

In order to make Arena a unique playing experience, Riot came out with 4 new Arena maps to push different gameplay styles in each combat area.

Arena also introduces new gameplay mechanics: a new terrain feature called Deep Water, and the Power Flower, which grants a shield, heals the player and gives you cooldown reduction.

But that's not all! To make sure each playing experience is unique, Riot decided to add multiple champion cameos to the new game mode.

Champ Cameos And Their Abilities

Since this particular game mode was released along with the Soul Fighter event, champs that have Soul Fighter skins appear as so-called Cameos throughout the course of the rounds. Through Cameos, Arena mode is supposed to have some variation and force players to try different tactics in each round.
