Riot is giving away the new champion Mel Medarda for free and here’s how you can get it.

One of the biggest allures of League of Legends for many players is its massive roster of champions. The game currently has 170 champions to choose from, with each of these champions having unique abilities. Also, more champions get added to this already massive roster of champions each year. As for 2025, Riot has already released their first champion, Mel Medarda in Patch 25.S1.2.

Mel is the daughter of League’s 169th champion, Ambessa Medarda, and was first introduced in November of 2021 with Arcane Season One. She played a big part in the story in Arcane season two and was last seen heading back to her homeland, Noxus. Since Season 2025 will be all about Noxus, Riot is releasing a Noxian champion, Mel in this case.
