Riot is introducing a new Assassin item called Voltaic Cyclosword.
Assassin items in League of Legends have always been hit-or-miss items. The items are either very over-tuned or flat-out useless. Also, more often than not, most Assassin items end up being used by Marksmen or Bruisers.
For example, the item Duskblade of Draktharr has been the go-to item for bruisers like Aatrox. That’s why, for Preseason 2024, Riot is revamping the Assassin items. They are removing problematic items like the Duskblade of Draktharr and Prowler’s Claw.
Riot is also adding multiple new Assassin items, each specifically created for Assassins’ needs.
In this article, we will talk about one of these new Assassin items, the Voltaic Cyclosword. It’s a new Lethality item similar to the old Duskblade of Draktharr. The item’s primary focus is to combat high-mobility assassination targets.
So, without any further ado, let us take a closer look at the new Assassin item, Voltaic Cyclosword.
