The first and possibly last League of Legends champion of 2026 has been fully revealed. Here is a look at all of the LoL Locke Abilities. Get ready, he is about to be the final nail in the coffin.
All of the LoL Locke Abilities are listed below in order from his Passive to his Ultimate.
Locke pins enemies’ souls with his attacks, dealing bonus magic damage On-Hit, increased based on enemy missing Health.
Locke readies a set of Soul Nails to throw forward dealing magic damage, marking enemies hit.
The nails apply a slow based on stacks. Attacking the enemy consumes the Soul Nails dealing magic damage per stack.
Restores a portion of cooldown and mana for unspent Nails.
Locke releases his own seals gaining Move Speed decaying over time.
While this effect is active, he suffers % health true damage per second but heals back a portion of damage taken plus an additional amount based on missing health and time passed.
The seals remain unbound for a few seconds and can be Recast to end early.
Locke blinks to a location, dealing magic damage around him. After, his next attack dashes to his target dealing magic damage to all enemies in his path.
Each of these hits consume Soul Nails.
Cooldown resets on takedown.

Locke kicks a binding artifact to a location that opens on arrival shooting chained Soul Nails at enemies in the area dealing magic damage and slowing.
Marked Champions that are brought below a threshold are pulled inside and killed.
If a Champion is executed the duration of the binding is reset on other affected Champions.
After a few seconds, the artifact seals itself and is left on the ground if a Champion was sealed.
If Locke picks up the artifact, he permanently increases the execution threshold and refunds a portion of his current cooldown for each Champion sealed.
There is little doubt that players are going to be worried about Locke’s ultimate. Scaling execution is not something that they are going to want to deal with. A fed Locke, is certainly going to be very strong.
The goal will be to make sure that you trade with Locke to keep him from snowballing. If he is able to get some kills early in the midgame and pick up his artifact, then it may already be too late.
Outside of his ultimate, Locke will certainly be tough in lane but if you can play a champion that can lock him down (pun intended) and then burst him, he will be rendered useless.
His builds will be interesting to see but expect players to build him like the assassin he is, with plenty of lethality and maybe even something like Stridebreaker.
All of Locke’s LoL Skins are listed below. He will start wit his base skin and then he will be added to the High Noon Universe.
