League Of Legends: Champion Combos For Arena Tierlist
Arena is a chaotic game mode in which League of Legends players form teams and fight. For those hoping to win, here are the best duos to consider.
League of Legends features several game modes for its players, whether they are casual gamers or ones wanting to climb up the ranks in the competitive mode. One of its most popular game modes is ARAM (All Random All Mid), which gives players random characters from the champion pool, with players occasionally given re-rolls. Here are some of the best champions that players can use in ARAM.
Updated December 25, 2023, by Joe Grantham: League of Legends is a game that is constantly evolving with an ever-expanding champion pool and patches every two weeks. With regular updates to champions and ARAM-specific buffs and nerfs, the best ARAM champions are constantly changing. ARAMs, which take place on the Howling Abyss map, a bridge in Freljord, favor different champions who can take advantage of the narrow lane and lack of recalls. Ranged champions tend to come out ahead in ARAMs due to the layout of the map, but many of the strongest ARAM champions receive damage nerfs. For players eager to explore this gameplay mode, here are even more of the best champions to use.
20 Dr. Mundo
Difficulty: Easy
- Combines Well With Radiant Virtue & Heartsteel
The LoL 2023 pre-season patch released some new items, including Radiant Virtue and Heartsteel. The latter is a powerful Mythic item, perfect for Tank champion builds and a must-have for Dr. Mundo. He is a strong ARAM champion, as his passive ability resists the first CC ability that hits him.
Heartsteel grants the wearer 800 bonus Health and synergizes well with Mundo's reworked abilities. His Ultimate Maximum Dosage increases his maximum health, regeneration, and movement speed. He becomes virtually unkillable without the enemy buying anti-healing items to apply Grevious Wounds on him.
19 Tryndamere
Difficulty: Medium
- Great Range
After the increase to Tryndamere's range, he quickly emerged as one of the strongest champions in League of Legends, and his newfound power extends to ARAMs as well. With the extra range, Tryndamere can get in range of those pesky ADCs even more easily now.
Naturally, his Undying Rage Ultimate, which allows him to avoid death for 5 seconds, is extremely powerful in ARAMs, which are all about fighting. And with his inbuilt sustain, he doesn't suffer from the loss of the ability to recall as much as others do.
18 Singed
Difficulty: Medium
- Movement Speed & Useful Ultimate & Q
Singed can use his passive to boost his movement speed from other champions and boost into the opposing team. Furthermore, Singed can cause havoc with his powerful Ultimate and his Q, Poison Trail, to damage enemies consistently.

His E ability allows him to Fling an enemy in whatever direction he chooses, sending them careening into his team to finish them off. Singed can fling opponents into his Mega Adhesive, rooting them for a short duration.
17 Illaoi
Difficulty: Hard
- Strong Tank
If players land Illaoi in champion select, the enemy's game is over before it's even begun. She can be an absolute powerhouse if played right. She can build Tank items while dealing tons of hard-hitting damage.
Illaoi's passive, Prophet of the Elder God, allows her to spawn a tentacle that attacks any enemies she hits with her W, Harsh Lesson. Coupled with her E, Test of Spirit, Illaoi can decimate enemies from a distance, with her tentacles dishing out serious damage to the enemy. She can also self-heal per enemy hit, making her harder to kill.
16 Lillia
Difficulty: Medium
- Great Close-Quarters Option
Lillia can be fantastic for ARAM in the right hands. All of her abilities apply her Sleep Dust passive. This can be immensely strong paired with the Liandry's Anguish and Demonic Embrace, applying ticking damage over time. She also gains movement speed when attacking enemies with her abilities, allowing her to catch up to any escaping opponents.
If players get Lillia in the champion selection, they should pick the Snowball Summoner Spell. Lillia can be devastating up-close, using her Q and W abilities before popping Lilting Lullaby. Her Ultimate sends enemies to sleep and stuns them until they are damaged.
15 Mordekaiser
Difficulty: Easy
- Flexible Builds
Mordekaiser is a versatile champion, able to build towards Ability Power or Tank items depending on what is required. He works best with Linadry's Anguish and Ryali's Crystal Scepter to slow enemies and burn them.
League of Legends: Best World Championship Winning Teams, Ranked
From underdog upsets to redemption arcs to tournament domination, these are the best teams to ever win the LoL World Championships.
Where Mordekaiser shines is through the use of his Ultimate, Realm of Death. He can pull enemies in using his E, Death's Grasp, before pulling them into the Realm of Death. Here, he can take a crucial enemy champion out of the fight before it even begins, allowing his team to decimate any stragglers.
14 Sylas
Difficulty: Hard
- Steal Ultimates
Sylas is one of the most fun champions to play in League of Legends due to his ability to steal enemy Ultimates and use them himself. With five enemies always close on ARAM, Sylas can choose whichever Ults he wants and put them to use in the constant teamfights that ARAMs are known for.
With high damage that can be AOE, innate sustain, and solid Crowd Control, Sylas is easily one of the best champions for ARAM, especially in the right hands.
13 Neeko
Difficulty: Medium
- Can Use Snowball Summoner Spell
ARAM gives players two game-mode-specific Summoner Spells: Clarity and Snowball. Snowball allows players to aim a snowball at the enemy. If it hits an enemy unit, the player has several seconds to reactivate and teleport to the struck enemy's position. Snowball is an exceptional Summoner Spell for champions who want to go all-in.
Neeko is a great candidate for Snowball. Her Ultimate Pop Blossom takes several seconds to activate. Neeko can aim a Snowball, unleash her Ultimate, and swoop straight into the enemy team as her Ultimate lands. It will stun them in place, and when coupled with her E, Tangle-Garbs, it's almost a guaranteed Penta-kill!
12 Janna
Difficulty: Very Easy
- Top-Tier Enchanter
When it comes to enchanters in ARAM, Janna is easily the best. Any team will benefit from having her in their backline. Her constant shields are always useful, and ADCs who excel on ARAM benefit from the bonus AD too.
The 35 Best League Of Legends Skins
League of Legends has a variety of interesting skins for players to try. These are some of the best on offer.
Janna's Q tornadoes can be hard to dodge on the narrow map of Howling Abyss, either acting as poke or annoying CC. Janna can use her Ultimate to either dispel enemy engages or to heal her whole team.
11 Twisted Fate
Difficulty: Medium
- Blue Card Is The Way To Go
While Twisted Fate has been traditionally picked on Summoner's Rift for his utility and cross-map potential, players can build him full AP on ARAM and poke with his buffed Q damage. After so long of players being told to prioritize his gold card for the stun, they will be surprised to find out just how much damage his blue card does, especially when built full AP.
Twisted Fate's Ultimate can even be used to teleport into enemy towers after not taking damage for a while, letting him execute and spend his money without giving gold to the enemy.
