Jayce, Piltover & Zaun’s newest champion, arrives this patch with a veritable arsenal of hextech experiments and Piltovan allies! Jayce brings his transformation technology to Legends of Runeterra, allowing him to be played as either a Quick Attack or Challenger unit. A champion with an obsession for big projects, he levels up after playing big 6+ cost spells, and gains the ability to double cast them at level 2!
