League of Legends: New Champion Zaahen Abilities Revealed

[COSMIN]

League of Legends’ newest champion, Zaahen, has been revealed.

Another champion joins League of Legends‘ ever-expanding roster. This time, it’s a new Darkin called Zaahen.

Zaahen was first revealed back in March of this year, in the client-based minigame called “The Demon’s Hand”. Along with something new to play, the game also gave us some insight into League’s newest epic monster, Atakhan, and information about a new Darkin weapon, a Darkin Glaive.

Although we didn’t know the time, but that Darkin Glaive would turn out to be Zaahen, League’s newest champion. Since then, there have been a bunch of leaks regarding the champion, but no official information, until now.

In the latest 2025 Season 3 Cinematic, Twilight’s End, Riot revealed how Zaahen came to be. For the sake of spoilers, we will not discuss his origins much further. However, what we will discuss is his abilities and take a look at his Splash Art. So without further ado, let’s dive into it.

Zaahen can recast his ability to have his next attack deal bonus damage and knock up his target.
