Recently, Riot Games added the 2v2v2v2 Arena mode to League of Legends which challenges players to come up with new strategies. In this new mode, you’ll have to go with a duo combination of champions that complement each other.
If you’re someone who’s looking to climb ranks, then we’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll be understanding the duo dynamics and the best duos that you can use to get an edge over your opponents in LoL.
The Significance Of The Duo Strategy
Before we get to the actual list of the best duos, it’s important for us to understand what impact good pairing has in Arena Mode.
If you’re going into battle with two extremely strong champions that do not complement each other, you won’t be able to climb too high in the ranks.
At the same time, if your playing style does not match with the duo combination, the results may not be in your favor. Your best bet is to opt for a duo that not only complements each other, but also your style.
The Best Duos For Arena Mode
Taric And Any Carry Champion
Taric is an extremely good support in LoL due to his plethora of abilities including healing, shielding and auto attack passive. If you’re putting him together with a carry champion such as Fiora, Vayne, or Kai’Sa, then you can pretty much devastate your opponents.
In fact, the best combination of Taric is with Fiora, in which case the win rate is a staggering 53 percent at minimum. This is because the combination of Taric’s shielding and healing coupled with Fiora’s dueling capability creates an extremely powerful defense that can hold its ground against almost any foe in the battle.
Mordekaiser and Kha’Zix
This combination is for all the aggressive players out there that love to take on the offense. Morderkaiser’s ultimate ability traps weak champions and Kha’Zix can instantly take advantage of the position and land heavy damage on the enemy.
Remember, however, that this combination works ideally against a single champion so your aim should be to isolate the enemy champion and then pounce them with a strong offense.
If you are well acquainted with Morderkaiser, then you can easily isolate your enemies.
Warwick and Dr.Mundo
The enemies better make a run for it if they see these two in the same team. Both Warwick and Dr.Mundo are exceptionally good at healing and keeping their heads high, which can be extremely difficult to counter.
Additionally, with add-ons such as Perseverance, Slow Cook, and Willing Sacrifice, both of them can stay alive in battle for a pretty long time. This allows them to take charge of the offense during the late game and soar through victory.
Teemo and Shaco
At first sight, Teemo and Shaco may seem absurd, but regardless of their unique combo, they go extremely well. Due to their unique playstyles, it can become quite difficult to effectively counter them.
Teemo’s toxic shrooms and Shaco’s strategically placed Jack-in-the-Boxes can become a nuisance for enemy champions to navigate through.
Apart from the danger that these two induce, their unique abilities also creates psychological pressure in the enemies which can often cause them to lose focus on coordination and ultimately lose the battle.
Taric and Warwick
Taric’s supporting capabilities go extremely well with Warwick. Warwick is known for immobilizing targets and with Taric’s exceptional shielding and healing capabilities, this can be nearly impossible to counter as a beginner.
If you’re looking to climb ranks and are still a beginner, then we highly recommend going for this combo. Taric and Warwick can create the perfect offensive pressure with a balanced defense.
Sett and Vayne
Sett and Vayne are almost a match made in heaven. Vayne’s high AD paired with Sett’s Facebreaker and Shostopper abilities can be a mess to deal with.
The only thing to keep note of is the difficulty of mastering them. Vayne and Sett are both difficult to master on their own, and when you’re pairing them up, it can be ten times more difficult. However, if you’re successful, it can create a behemoth of a combo on the Arena.
Rengar And Ivern
Although this duo heavily depends on the map and the position in it, you’ll definitely have fun using them.
Their pair allows Rengar to accumulate stacks quickly which can maximize his damage. And with their combined crowd control abilities, it becomes quite powerful in the mid game.
This duo can strategically control areas of the map and create difficulty for enemies to walk into unknown territory. Not only does this induce psychological pressure, but also helps Rengar to go on the offense and pretty much obliterate the enemy.
Kog’Maw and Lulu
This one is a classic duo. Kog’Maw and Lulu complement each other extremely well as Lulu’s armor reduction combined with Kog’Maw’s offensive abilities allows the duo to deliver long range attacks.
This can be extremely useful, especially in Arena Mode. If utilized properly, their combined abilities can deal heavy damage to enemies from a distance and then close in later to deliver the final blow.
Conclusion
The introduction of the Arena Mode has added a fresh layer to League of Legends as now there’s a whole different strategic play to be discovered.
In this guide, we talked about some of the best Arena duos to climb ranks in LoL. However, it’s important to remember that what makes Arena Mode exciting is the fact that there are endless possibilities of duo combinations, waiting to be tested.
Try your own duo combinations and see what works best for you and your playing style. It’s quite probable that your playing style might be fit for a duo combination that’s not exactly popular. That brings us to the end of this guide.
