Part 54

Dive into League of Legends patch 5.4! Discover the new ultimate skin DJ Sona, and check out all the champion and item changes, including buffs to Janna and Jarvan IV.

Hey there! Ready to check out what's new in League of Legends patch 5.4? This one's a biggie, mostly because of the awesome new ultimate skin, DJ Sona. Let's break it down. ## New Ultimate Skin: DJ Sona This is the main event! DJ Sona has arrived in the store, and she's a stunner. For 3250 RP, you get the DJ Sona skin, plus three summoner icons and three profile banners to match. If you're quick, she'll be on sale for 2450 RP for the first 4 days of her release – that's 25% off! What makes DJ Sona so special? * Three Skins in One: She's basically three skins rolled into one: Kinetic, Concussive, and Ethereal. You can switch between them by typing `/toggle` in chat or pressing CTRL + 5. Each mode has a unique look, ability effects, voice lines, and its own soundtrack. * Dynamic Soundtrack: The music isn't static! It builds up over the game, reacting to in-game events like first blood or kills. There are over *three hours* of music in total! Her abilities also interact with the music, adding layers and changing the tempo. * Ally Soundtrack Control: Your allies can choose to listen to DJ Sona's music instead of the default game soundtrack from the scoreboard. However, Sona has full control over which mode is playing; your allies can't pick between Kinetic, Concussive, or Ethereal. There are also three new Summoner Icons to go along with the skin: DJ Sona (Ethereal), DJ Sona (Concussive), and DJ Sona (Kinetic). ## League of Legends 5.4 ### Champions Splash Updates: * Classic Katarina * Classic Tristana General Fixes: * A bug was fixed where abilities that apply on-hit effects (like Parrrley and Mystic Shot) would still deal damage through Spell Shields. This is a nice quality-of-life fix for everyone. Azir: * Shurima's Legacy: A bug where destroying a Sun Disc would count as destroying a structure in Spectator Mode has been fixed. Ezreal: * General: Fixed a bug where PEARL wouldn't always announce when Ezreal ranked his abilities. No more missed pings! Janna: * Tailwind: This ability now only affects allies moving *towards* Janna. The range has been increased to 1250 (from 1000), and the bonus movement speed is now 8% (up from 5%). * Zephyr: The passive movement speed bonus has been increased to 9 / 11 / 13 / 15 / 17% (+ 2% AP) from 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12% (+ 2% AP) when hitting multiple champions with her ultimate. Jarvan IV: * Stats: His base armor has been increased to 27 (from 24). * Dragon Strike: A bug where enemies would occasionally get knocked up if they came in range immediately after Jarvan finished dashing has been fixed. * Demacian Standard: This ability no longer grants armor. This is a notable change, so keep that in mind! Jinx: * Switcheroo!: Tooltips have been updated to clearly show the names of her guns (Fishbones and Pow-Pow). Kalista: * Martial Poise: Her attack wind-up now scales with 66% of her attack speed, down from 100%. This means the time between starting an attack and firing is shorter. While this doesn't change her sustained DPS, it *will* affect her ability to kite and attack-move. Keep an eye on how this feels in practice! * Note: Thresh is the only other champion with a modified attack wind-up. Kassadin: * Riftwalk: (The source text cuts off here, so we don't have the details for Kassadin's Riftwalk changes in this patch.) That's the rundown for patch 5.4! Let me know if you have any questions.
