League of Legends – Swarm | Operation: Anima Squad

Grab up to 3 friends and choose from a roster of elite Anima Squad members. Then, fight together as humanity's last hope against the Primordians.
With a WASD control scheme, players will run around in a brand new map of Final City, mowing down enemies, completing missions, and surviving as long as they possibly can.
As the battle unfolds, players can unlock and upgrade powerful weapons and new Anima Squad members to help defeat the swarms of enemies coming to take over and mix up their strategy.
Players can work to permanently strengthen themselves, match over match, by purchasing Power Ups with gold earned in each game. These Power Ups grant permanent buffs to give the team an edge in future field operations, so players can progress further and further in each match.

Anima Squad Skins

From the rising seas, ancient life emerges. Primordians – the planet's white blood cells – harbingers of the next evolution event. Their prime directive: extinguish humanity. The Primordian threat has pushed civilization to the brink. For years, tribes of survivors hid in the darkness, resigned to annihilation. Out of the ashes of our world, Final City was born. And Anima Squad, Final City's elite task force of superpowered warriors armed with re-engineered Primordian technology, leads the dawn of a new human resistance, fighting for organic life.

Aurora The Witch Between Worlds

Born to a Freljordian tribe of vastayan bunnies, Aurora grew up with the ability to see the veil between the spirit and material realms. This unique skill made it difficult for her to connect with her peers, but allowed her to find companionship with the nearby spirits that occupied that limbo. Determined to learn more about her abilities, Aurora left her village to travel across the Freljord. Aurora is a solo laner, with the flexibility to play in both the top and mid lanes. A skirmisher mage with the ability to enter into a "spirit mode," Aurora is a unique addition to the champion roster in gameplay, background, and personality.

Anima Squad Merchandise

Gear up to take on the threat of the invading Primordians with the Anima Squad Merch Collection. Showcasing squad members new and old alike, the collection features a variety of apparel pieces, figures, and accessories:
