In League of Legends’ Arena game mode, summoners are encouraged to dive into the mayhem from champion select onward as you immerse yourself into a hectic two-vs-two-vs-two-vs-two clash to the death.

With 166 champions to choose from, the combinations are endless, and the potential is limitless for players to discover. However, some champions have already made the rounds as the strongest to either play or ban before you even step foot onto the Soul Fighter battlegrounds.

Whether you’re looking to confuse your opponents to victory, outlast them in a war of attrition, or you want to simply overwhelm them with pure firepower, these are some of the champion combos you should try out. Most importantly, have fun with it and don’t be afraid to experiment with all of the Augments in the game as well.

Best champion combos in LoL‘s Arena

The best and most fun combos to try in LoL’s Arena mode are:

Veigar and Trundle

Veigar and Trundle is arguably the deadliest combination in Arena. While the mage provides an unmatched burst, capable of one-shotting any enemy carry, he’s not too powerful on his own due to lack of mobility. But, with Trundle by his side, you and your duo partner can balance the damage and tankiness to create an astounding combo, which will surely boast you a lot of wins.

If Veigar is banned, choose: Kayle, Morgana, or Gwen.

If Trundle is banned, choose: Kayn, Yorick, or Illaoi.

Galio and Kayn

The second perilous combo is similar to the first one. While Galio is yet another perfect pick for a front line tank, which can also do some remarkable damage, Kayn can easily hunt down squishy enemies. When the two combine, they’re hard to take down, especially with Kayn’s mobility and Galio’s crowd control.

If Galio is banned, choose: Sion, Trundle, or Rell

If Kayn is banned, choose: Fiora, Illaoi, or Samira

Morgana and Trundle

Usually, the strongest combos in Arena include a tank and a damage dealer, showcased by two previous duos, and the third one is no different. While Trundle can provide a beefy front line, which we already explained, Morgana brings another formidable CC onto the table, at the same time being able to unleash deadly damage.

If Morgana is banned, choose: Kayle, Gwen, or Veigar.

Sion and Kayn

We already went through in and outs of Kayn, who is paired best with tanky partners, like Sion. The Undead Juggernaut brings a lot of quality to the table, with an engaging ultimate and abilities that make it awful to even try to challenge him. With Sion’s help, Kayn should be allowed to freely roam the Arena and pick up some easy kills.

If Sion is banned, choose: Galio, Trundle, or Rell.

Veigar and Illaoi

Like we said, Veigar has an enormous burst. Illaoi is another perfect pick to partner him with. Her ultimate can easily transform the battlefield into a place where you have a complete control, especially with Veigar’s Event Horizon. Both abilities make it really tough for enemies to easily navigate through fight, making them easy picks for the dangerous duo

If IIllaoi is banned, choose: Trundle, Kayn, or Yorick.

Vladimir and Zed

This combination is much more traditional. Both Vladimir and Zed possess incredible burst. While they can’t be tanks themselves, their abilities provide them space to dodge some of the enemy skill shots, so if you master one of them, you can become the strongest duo in your lobby. When playing as either Vladimir or Zed, you should cooperate to rapidly eliminate the dangerous enemy target, and then drain life from the remaining one.

If Zed is banned, choose: Kayn, Sivir, or Naafiri.

If Vladimir is banned, choose: Zyra, Elise, or Varus.
