Arena inLeague of Legendsis back, and this time it’s here to stay for at least 12 months until June 2026. As usual, players can expect a slightly different meta, with new OP champions coming to the fore. In this 16-player game mode, full of chaos, epic duels, and a bit of RNG, the biggest factor in determining victory, aside from skill, is which champions are picked.
This tier list for Arena combos will give players the best options to consistently place in the top 4 spots as a team, and hopefully snag a few victories. While players won’t always be able to get their hands on thebest champion duos for Arenadue to bans, there are plenty of strong options and individual standouts. There is also the Bravery system, where players blind pick champions in return for a few extra stats, but they may geta champion they dislike.
Updated July 13, 2025, by Joe Grantham:This article has been updated for Patch 25.13 with Arena returning for 12 months. While there are no specific changes to Arena since its last outing, the base game has naturally seen multiple updates, meaning many champions and items are stronger or weaker.
