League of Legends Rumors: New Darkin Champion Details Emerge

Trusted League of Legends insider Big Bad Bear has unveiled new rumors surrounding the next Darkin champion. According to his report, the mysterious entity known as the Darkin Glaive will make its narrative debut next week with the release of Yunara, before eventually becoming a fully playable character later this year.

🗡️ Who Is the Darkin Glaive?

Big Bad Bear claims that this upcoming Darkin will follow the familiar naming pattern seen in Aatrox, Rhaast, and Naafiri, featuring a double “A” in its name. Tied to the unfolding Hyperbloom event, the Darkin Glaive is expected to awaken during a significant meta-shift that spans multiple regions of Runeterra, including Noxus and Demacia.

The story is said to begin in Noxus, involving characters like LeBlanc, Darius, and Xin Zhao, possibly in the context of an escalating invasion. From there, the narrative will transition to Demacia—though specific plot developments remain under wraps.

🔮 Speculated Role and Gameplay

While Riot Games has yet to confirm the Darkin Glaive’s gameplay role, rumors suggest the champion is being considered for:

• Top Lane
• Jungle
• Or even a non-traditional support role

As of now, details about their ability kit and mechanics are unknown, but the speculation hints at another powerful and unique addition to the Darkin roster.

🗓️ When Will the Darkin Be Revealed?

According to Big Bad Bear, the first official mention of the Darkin Glaive will arrive next week alongside Yunara’s release. A full reveal and champion launch are expected by the end of the year, likely as part of the next competitive season.

🔥 What to Expect

If the rumors hold true, the Darkin Glaive could shake up the current champion landscape with new lore connections, gameplay mechanics, and meta implications—just in time to help define League of Legends’ next era.
