What is the LoL Tournament of Souls?

The new Soul Fighter event has brought lots of new features to League of Legends, including the Tournament of Souls, which we’ll break down here.

Soul Fighter is an event that spans across every single one of Riot Games’ major titles associated with League of Legends. LoL itself, Legends of Runeterra, Wild Rift, and Teamfight Tactics are all getting new features and flashy bits to celebrate the event. On the League of Legends client, there’s a Flash-style fighting game called Tournament of Souls.

What is Tournament of Souls?

Tournament of Souls is an in-client minigame in which players pilot Soul Fighter Samira on her quest to conquer the Soul Fighter tournament.

This takes the form of a very simple but sleek minigame that can be played from inside the League of Legends client. Samira is equipped with four moves — a Q, W, E, and R just like League of Legends. You’ll fight enemies, moving up the ladder and unlocking new abilities on your way to defeat Viego.

We’ll have a full guide for how to beat every opponent, but you can start out on your own without much help.
