- Three different types of pets have been revealed with a new Shock system called “Shock Avatars”. The operation of the mechanism will be slightly different depending on the companion we choose and will replace the classic model of smites. Junglers will buy one of the three eggs instead of Jaffa or Gradoblade, and as time passes and more monsters are killed, the pet will receive “treats”. These, in turn, will allow the animals to transform at some point in the game. The transformed avatar will improve our Smite as well as provide additional buffs. Foresters will be able to choose between Noxian Redhead, Ixamandra Ixtali and Ionian Cloud Jumper.
The jungle is a dangerous place and it is unwise to venture there alone, so make your own jungle pets by purchasing them from the in-game store as eggs! Pets will receive “treats” for the monsters you kill and as the game time passes, and thus undergo transformation. When they transform, they will provide their owners with empowering avatars that give them a variety of abilities.
– writes Riot Games on the official website.
Below is the graphic posted by the creators and the accompanying short descriptions of each of the animals.
- Noxian Redhead *: This pet will be chosen by junglers who like to play aggressively. Provides a slowdown and additional damage.
- Ixamandra Ixtali *: This pet will be perfect for junglers who are drawn to the frontline and defending their team. Grants a shield based on the jungler’s health. The shield gives you extra resistance to slowdowns and tenacity when destroyed.
- Ionian Cloud Jumper *: This pet is great for junglers who want to move faster across the map. Provides extra movement speed.
Before we see new cute and other changes in LoL , remember that the new products will spend some time on PBE servers, where they will be tested. Consequently, the final version may differ from the material currently available.
