Deep within Arcadia's servers lies a sinister series of glitches known to all gamers as the Battle Bosses. Their corrupted code has brought them newfound freedom… but also new challengers. To complete their deletion of the Arcade World, many of the Bosses have agreed to put aside their differences (until it's… inconvenient).

Arcade: Battle Bosses

This chroma was released as a bundle exclusive in 2022.

Battle Boss Bel'Veth

True final boss of the hit 1998 RPG "Initial Reverie VIII," Bel'Veth has become a staple of the series thanks to fan popularity and her storyline about assimilating all of reality into herself. Recruited into the war in Arcadia by Veigar, she has decided to ignore his commands, annihilate everything in her path, and assimilate all of Arcade World into herself. Who could have seen it coming?

Battle Boss Blitzcrank

A boss hailing from a popular science fiction shooter, Blitzcrank is well known in the gaming community for cheap mechanics, powerful attacks, and a massive health pool. Veigar fittingly made them the gatekeeper of his personal fortress, because Veigar hates fun.

The fire boss from a bestselling action game, Brand has no intention of returning to his original machine. He'd rather see all of Arcade World burn to the ground, to be rebuilt in the image of the villains who rule it.

Battle Boss Brand

A boss hailing from a long-forgotten game cabinet, Malzahar broke free from the last remaining copy of his game to invade nearby machines. Now he has made his way to Arcade World, shredding the code of his enemies with an army of intelligent viruses.

Battle Boss Qiyana

Loot exclusive gained during the 2019 Arcade event.

A princess constantly in need of saving in the 1981 arcade port of “Super Ixaocan Bros.,” Qiyana needed very little convincing to empower herself with malignant Battle Boss code. She wasted no time testing her newfound abilities on the aforementioned Super Ixaocan Brothers. They're dead now. She lives in their castle.

Final Boss Veigar

Once merely a mini-boss with a Napoleon complex, Veigar has ripped into the code of Arcade World to summon hundreds of other bosses to his side. Together they'll stop at nothing to reach his ultimate goal: take the world for himself, and give the heroes a final Game Over.

Battle Boss Yasuo

One-time protagonist of the 1979 cult classic “Hasagi,” Yasuo was infected with Veigar's malignant code after the Battle Boss takeover of Arcadia. He maintains his impossibly complex gameplay patterns and high-damage attacks, but now fights for the forces of evil.

A boss originally from Super Yordle Bombers, Ziggs was transported to Arcade World for one purpose: blow up everything. Armed with his signature explosives (and the programming to use them!) he has wrought digital destruction the way only an angry mini-boss can.

Battle Boss Ziggs

Arcadia: home to the server's most competitive arcade gamers and justice-driven NPCs. Here, the heroes always play to win. And that means overriding the Battle Bosses' corrupted code, even with the odds stacked against them. Victory won't come easy, but seeing the surprise on the bosses' faces after an incredible outplay will totally make it worth it.

Arcade: Heroes

This chroma was released in the 2021 Ahri-versary event.

Arcade Ahri

Owner of the mysterious six-million-point high score in the infamously difficult beat-em-up Demacia Vice, Ahri is a force of nature on the retro battlefields of Arcadia. Dashing between bosses before ripping them apart with her 8-bit magic, she's already earned the nickname “Queen of the Arcade.”

Acclaimed hero of the “Sniper Cop” rail shooter series, Caitlyn enforced the laws of Arcadia prior to the Battle Boss uprising. She brings her sharp eye and eager trigger finger to the fight to save her world, only stopping long enough to flick her gun off-screen for a reload.

Arcade Caitlyn

Appearing most recently in “Sniper Cop 7” as a golden-clad secret character, Caitlyn's popularity has finally transcended games as a medium.

Arcade Corki

The fearless protagonist of a 1980s top-down shooter, Corki resists Veigar's battle bosses the same way he resists being shot down by thousands of glowing bullets—move fast, and shoot everything before it shoots him.

A skilled gamer transported to Arcade World by Veigar, Ezreal holds the world record for speedrunning the original version of Hyper Crystal Dungeon in 45 seconds, using a custom-made mobile controller. Veigar has made a terrible mistake.

Arcade Ezreal

An unlikely favorite among retro purists, Hecarim has remained one of the most popular characters of the arcade era. Now he stands against the combined forces of gaming's greatest villains, proving there's no hero more noble than a rainbow-shooting chrome centaur from 1978.

Arcade Kai'Sa

Obtained through Influencer audience giveaways.

A bounty hunter and ex-soldier hailing from the hellish multidirectional shooter “PixelVoid II,” Kai'Sa was called back to the Arcadian theater after the Battle Bosses infected her game. As she is unmatched at killing screen-covering boss monsters with massive health pools, invading “PixelVoid II” may have been a severe miscalculation.

Arcade Miss Fortune

Miss Fortune (Sarah to her friends) is better known in the real world for holding the top scores in every shoot-em-up game ever created. In Arcade World, she's famed for earning those scores through whatever means necessary, willing to bring in any target for the right amount of points.

Arcade Riven

Riven's part-time job at an arcade mostly involved playing dance simulators after her manager went home. Digitally transported to Arcade World by even scarier bosses, she's now using her moves (and some gear from her favorite RPG) to tear up Veigar's regime, one enemy at a time.

Arcade Sona

Being forcefully transported from the real world to fight an army of evil video game bosses is no sweat for Sona. She was the first person to beat Keyboard Solo 4's ultra solo mode on nightmare difficulty—a feat that, by the developers' own admission, should not have been possible.

As Ahri locks in her character on the start screen, the synth-heavy score fills the arcade. Her button taps aren't random, but perfectly calculated as she guides her champ through the crime-filled Demacian streets. A crowd gathers, intent on watching Ahri finally beat the high score, set by her only days ago.

Demacia Vice

Demacia Vice Garen

Loot exclusive gained during the 2019 Demacia Vice event.

As chrome eagles cry and steel panthers growl, lightning hot justice is delivered nightly by Detective Garen Stryker on the neon-drenched streets. A black belt in Ionian martial arts, this katana wielding cop pushes it to the limit with every case... for Demacia!

Demacia Vice Lucian

Half man, half machine, and all justice, Detective Lucian Phoenix fights crime under the pastel palm trees of Demacia. Rebuilt out of polished chrome and gilded Piltovan carbon fiber following a fatal gunfight, this technological marvel dispenses vaporwave vengeance as a neon beacon of law and order.

Armor of the Fifth Age Taric

Neon Strike Vi

Insert Coin to Play" flashes on the screen, an irrestistable offer for any gamer worth their salt. But whisked away from their humble arcade into a world of Heroes and Battle Bosses, these ordinary players will have to fight with all the reflexes and combos they can muster. Because gamers in Arcadia... are playing with their lives.
