K’Sante Lore, Origins Revealed
Through a developer video released in August, Riot developer Ryan ‘Reav3 Mirales described the origins of League’s ‘fiercest hunter.” “Nazumah is an oasis citystate in the southern outskirts of the desert, and unlike the rest of Shurima, they don’t bow to Azir. stated Reav3/
“Situated on one of the only water sources for miles, the people of Nazumah had to compete with giant monsters just trying to stay hydrated. It was a hard-fought struggle, but they eventually claimed the oasis as their own and built their society around it.“Now, 500 years later, this new champion begins to lead the warriors of Nazumah to hunt those same monsters, using the rare resources they gain to build their infrastructure and weapons.” said Reav3.
Those monsters give K’Sante his powers, using their “rare regenerating hide” to forge blunt weapons “that can be used defensively”, but also shatter to reveal sharp knives that can cut through any foe. He’s beloved by the citystate for good reason.” the League developer added.
When will Riot release K’Sante on Live Servers?
League’s upcoming fierce champion, K’Sante is slated to arrive on League servers with Patch 12.21, scheduled to release on Wednesday, November 2. Players can deal a sizable amount of damage in the top lane using the newest addition to the League roster.
