The new PvE mode Swarm in League of Legends features a total of nine different champions and augments that make the game easier for you. We from MeinMMO show you in our list which augments there are. Additionally, we provide a brief description of the advantages they bring.
The new PvE mode Swarm has been released in League of Legends and sends you into battles against monsters on different maps, reminiscent of Vampire Survivors. During your run, you can acquire many different abilities, including augments that give you additional buffs.
You can find a tier list with the best champions in Swarm here.
What are augments? You receive augments by completing a Yuumi quest. As we know from other modes like TFT, augments also work similarly in this mode. Once you have completed a quest, you receive a selection of three augments from which you can choose one.
The augment gives you an effect that lasts for the entire run. Some of the augments in the list unlock only during your gameplay.
