{{quote|''"Mercy is a human luxury, and responsibility.”''}}
Once revered as valiant protectors of Shurima against the menacing Void, Aatrox and his compatriots eventually evolved into an even more formidable menace to Runeterra. Their defeat was solely achieved through the cunning employment of mortal sorcery. However, following an extensive period of incarceration spanning centuries, Aatrox emerged as the first to regain his liberty, corrupting and metamorphosing those audacious enough to attempt to wield the enchanted weapon that encapsulated his very essence. Presently, adorned with pilfered flesh, he traverses Runeterra in a savage imitation of his former self, relentlessly pursuing an apocalyptic retribution that has long been overdue.
 
'''Associated tropes:'''
A magical fox from Ionia who longed to be human. While scavenging a sundered battlefield left by the Noxian invasion of Ionia, she found a dying mage and absorbed his life essence, giving her a humanoid form, but still leaving her incomplete. She used her magical powers and her seductive charm to absorb the energies of more men in an effort to complete her transformation, but she soon discovered another aspect of humanity that she had gained: a conscience. Filled with regret, Ahri turned to the League, where she hoped to find a way to achieve her humanity without taking the lives of innocents.

{{quote|''"Mercy is a human luxury, and responsibility.”''}}Ahri, a enigmatic vastaya with fox-like characteristics, is intrinsically linked to the enchantment of the spirit realm. She used her magical powers and her seductive charm to absorb the energies of more men in an effort to complete her transformation, but she soon discovered another aspect of humanity that she had gained: a conscience.
Ahri is a mage-type assassin champion with a lot of mobility and multi-targeting spells. She can throw a boomerang ball of energy that deals unblockable true damage on the return trip, release three spirit flames to strike nearby enemies, blow a kiss that causes an enemy hit to walk towards her in a trance, and her ultimate lets her dash a short distance up to three times, releasing bolts of energy with each jump. Her passive stores up charges whenever her spells hit an enemy. When she has nine charges, her next spell heals her for a percentage of the damage done.
 
Ahri's alternate skins include Dynasty Ahri, Midnight Ahri, Popstar Ahri, K/DA Ahri, Academy Ahri, Star Guardian Ahri and MidnightSpirit Blossom Ahri.
 
'''Associated tropes:'''
 
* [[Addictive Magic]]: As a result of Ahri's ability to drain the essence of others, she not only gains magical power but also glimpses into their memories. This unique aspect of her powers has led to her developing an addiction to draining individuals, as it has become necessary to sustain her abilities. Unfortunately, as Ahri continued to drain people, the memories she acquired began to include visions of individuals perceiving her as a malevolent nine-tailed fox demon. This revelation caused her addiction to spiral out of control, resulting in her draining an entire village. Overwhelmed with disgust for her actions, Ahri has since made earnest attempts to break free from or regulate her addiction. However, when her cravings remain unsatisfied for an extended period, Ahri faces a genuine risk of succumbing to her urges and draining people indiscriminately. Throughout her journey in ''Ruined King'', Ahri gradually gains more control over her addiction.
* [[The Ageless]]
* [[The Atoner]]
* [[Bad Powers, Good People]]: Ahri's incredible power to drain people's souls and absorb their memories and emotions may sound terrifying. But as she consumed more, she unexpectedly developed a conscience and now goes to great lengths to avoid causing harm.
* [[Become a Real Boy|Become a Real Human]]: Originally, she was a fox that became human. This is removed in the new continuity, instead she's a vastaya.
* [[Charm Person]]: Her unique form of crowd control.
* [[Detached Sleeves]]
Line 22 ⟶ 33:
* [[Fantastic Foxes]]
* [[Femme Fatale]]: The straightest example in the game, although she's trying to reform.
* [[Foil]]: To Warwick. Warwick is tanky DPS while Ahri is an AP assassin. Ahri wants to be human while Warwick is satisfied as a werewolf.
* [[Horny Devils]]: Her lore and [[Femme Fatale]] attitude allude this being the life-harvesting method she's trying to drop.
* [[Idol Singer]]: Her Popstar and K/DA skins.
* [[Impossibly Low Neckline]]
* [[Kitsune]]: Although referred to in development as a Gumiho, the Korean equivalent, hence her vampiric nature.
Line 33 ⟶ 45:
* [[Playing with Fire]]: They're probably [[Cold Flames]], but hell if that matters; they work just fine.
* [[Prehensile Tail]]
* [[Raised by Wolves]]
* [[Retcon]]: Initially, Ahri possessed inherent magical abilities prior to assimilating the life essence of a dying mage, thereby augmenting her powers to a greater extent. But, in light of the recent Vastayan lore revision, she is presently regarded as the sole remainder of her species. Having been forsaken by her own tribe, she was subsequently embraced by a collective of icefoxes.
* [[Rule of Three]]: '''Three''' of her skills use this rule. First, her innate Essence Theft activates her spellvamp passive after hitting nine enemies, up to a maximum of three per spell casted; in short it takes a minimum of '''three''' spells to activate this skill, or '''3x3'''. Second, Fox-Fire summons '''three''' fireballs around her that will home in to the nearest enemy unit. '''Third''', her ultimate, Spirit Rush, allows her to dash to a target area up to '''three''' times, sending out flares that target up to '''three''' enemy units.
* [[Trans Nature]]: SheIn the old continuity, she was a fox that wanted to become human. Now she's a magical hybrid with the ability to become more and more human. However, her method of doing this involved killing people, and as she became closer to human the morality of this started to bother her, leading to her joining the League to find an alternative method. Subverted, in the Vastayan race update, it's revealed that Ahri had always been a fox-human hybrid who was abandoned by her tribe for reasons unknown.
* [[The Vamp]]: She was able to lure men with her beauty and charm to drain their life. One of her skills (Charm) actually uses this. Also works as [[A Worldwide Punomenon]].
* [[Videogame Dashing]]: Her ultimate.
Line 203 ⟶ 217:
* [[Skip of Innocence]]: She moves like this.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]]
 
=== Ashe the Frost Archer ===
Line 316 ⟶ 330:
 
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: That rifle is as tall and almost as thick as her!
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Her passive: every few shots, Caitlyn gets to deal extra damage on a single attack. One of her attack quotes even says this.
* [[British Accents]]: Fake or real, it makes her sound sexier.
Line 432 ⟶ 446:
** The slang is used to get much [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|crap past]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|the radar]].
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Anyone who played ''Warcraft III'' will see a resemblance between [https://web.archive.org/web/20100603053549/http://www.leagueoflegends.com/champions/view/42/corki_the_daring_bombardier him] and the [http://www.wowwiki.com/Flying_Machine_(Warcraft_III) Flying Machine unit].
** His voice sounds nearly identical to Peppy's from the ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' series.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: A decent amount of the lingo he's saying is obscene... [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|...but you'd only know that if you understood it]].
Line 553 ⟶ 567:
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: An in-universe example: Mundo is horrifically insane and will conduct dreadful experiments on anyone he can get his hands on, but as a League champion he's massively popular with the people of Zaun (most of whom are pretty insane themselves anyway). The real life fans themselves rarely mention that as well and just stick with his meme.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Averted. His experimentation on himself has granted him obscene strength and a less-than-sophisticated manner of speaking, he is still a horrifically brilliant [[Mad Scientist]].
* [[For Halloween I Am Going as Myself]]: His Mundo Mundo skin. "[https://web.archive.org/web/20110526135124/http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=297326 Mundo dresses up as himself a lot or else he forget. Has happened before!]"
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]
* [[Healing Factor]]: Both his passive and his ultimate imply that his chemical enhancements include this to a large degree.
Line 729 ⟶ 743:
* [[Fish People]]
* [[Ghost City]]: Fizz's hometown was deserted when he went home.
* [[The Kid Withwith the Leash]]
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Quite weak early, snowballs into one of the hardest carries the game has to offer. You feed Fizz, you lose the game. No questions asked.
* [[Prongs of Poseidon]]: His weapon of choice.
