Riot Games is known for its ability to captivate players with exciting events across multiple games, and the upcoming Soul Fighter event is no exception. The event is set to take place in League of Legends, Wild Rift, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra, promising a thrilling experience for players in each of these titles.
Similar to the Ruination event, the Soul Fighter event is expected to be a grand affair with plenty of new content for players to enjoy. Riot has a history of releasing numerous champion skins, exciting game modes, and event passes during these events, and the Soul Fighter event is no different.
However, this year, Riot has taken a unique approach by replacing the visual novel-style game with a fighting game-style mode called LoL Tournament of Souls. Let's dive into the details of this new metagame and what players can expect from the event.
LoL Tournament of Souls: A Fighting Game-Style Mode
Tournament of Souls is the newest addition to the event, and it promises an action-packed experience for players. The mode follows the story of Soul Fighter Samira, and players will have the opportunity to battle other Soul Fighter champions. While the mode does contain slight visual novel elements, they are entirely linear and not the primary focus of the gameplay.

LoL Tournament of Souls: Samira's Controls
To emerge victorious in the Tournament of Souls, players will have to fight with style. As Samira, players will have three abilities at their disposal - Q, W, and E.
- Q – Gun Ability
- W – 1st/Sword Ability
- E – 2nd/Sword Ability
- R – Neutral
Each ability allows Samira to attack with either her gun or her sword. Switching between weapons increases her Style meter, leading to powerful ultimate attacks. However, players need to defeat their opponents quickly, as the battles have a time limit. If time runs out or their HP bar depletes, they'll have to start over.

Q (Gun Abilities)
- Quickshot: Fire a fast shot dealing 160 damage. When used to change weapons, it fires twice.
- Piercing Precision: Unleash 3 piercing shots for a total of 210 damage, breaking shields, and increasing airborne duration.

LoL Tournament of Souls: Status Effects
Throughout the battles in the Tournament of Souls, you and your opponents can inflict various status effects that can turn the tide of battle. Each status effect alters the flow of combat in unique ways, and being aware of them can give you an edge in the fights. Here's a quick reference list of the status effects:
- Airborne: Knocked into the sky and unable to use abilities for a set time.
- Resist: Take reduced incoming damage.
- Stealthed: Invulnerable to most incoming damage, except damage over time.
- Crit Up: Increased critical hit chance.
- Unstoppable: Abilities cannot be interrupted.
- Bleeding: Taking damage over time.
- Stunned: Cannot attack or take any actions.
- Siphoned: A portion of health is stolen and can only be recovered by dealing damage. If stolen health is not recovered in time, Samira takes damage equal to the amount of stolen health, and the debuff ends.
- Wounded: Healing is reduced.
- FATAL: Marked for death—will be executed the next time they are damaged by an Ultimate ability.
Custom-tailoring your loadout and combos to work around enemy status effects will give you a better chance at victory.
