LoL will debut new items in 2026 and reintroduce two fan-favorite items that were previously removed from the game. Wards will also change.
League of Legends always tries to introduce new mechanics, enemies, and items to keep the game fresh. In 2026, players will see 11 new items designed to fill role-specific gaps and open up new build paths. Take your time to explore each item and which champions will benefit most from them.
New items coming in 2026
For each item, we’ll suggest a few champions that could benefit most from its stats. Keep in mind, this is not an exhaustive list. Many other champions might also find them useful. These examples are meant to guide you. Note that the names of the items are temporary.
Savior's Manabell and Superbell
This two-item set is the newest upgradeable Tear item for enchanters coming in 2026. Manabells grants Heal and Shield power based on Mana, and when upgraded into Superbell at maximum Tear stacks also heals your lowest nearby ally every second while you're in combat with enemy champions, scaling the heal based on your Mana.

Emblem of All-Inning
Another Zeal item for ADCs that like to ult and pop off. This item gives ultimate Ability Haste plus a burst of Attack Speed and guaranteed Critical Strikes for three attacks after ulting. If you've already crit on these autos, instead, you get some bonus true damage.

Mantle of the Twelfth Hour
This is a new item for the tanks, which gives a large heal-over-time effect when you get low and scales off your bonus Armor and Magic Resistance. While you're healing off this item, you can also gain some Movement Speed and Tenacity to enable you to go forward and tank more for your team or try to escape after you were chunked to low health.
Item Icon Stats Description Champions |  600 Health 15 Ability Haste Lifeline (90 seconds) Taking damage that would reduce your Health below 30% causes you to regenerate 480 Health over 5 seconds.

Buff Engine
An "aura" item with a bit of gameplay is coming to League of Legends in 2026. This is an Attack Speed aura item for tanky melee supports that turns on the aura for a while after you slow or immobilize an enemy. The duration is much longer for melee champions than for ranged, so it's easier to maintain the Attack Speed for your team if you're a tanky melee support.
Item Icon Stats Description Champions |  200 Health 10 Ability Haste 25 Armor 25 Magic Resist Buff Time Slowing or immobilizing an enemy champion grants the Buff Aura for 8 seconds.

Mananomicon
This AP item can be activated to enter an empowered state for a short duration, where you consume significantly more mana but your spells are more powerful and have lower cooldowns. The extra damage, healing, and shielding on your spells scale with your mana, so you're rewarded for investing in it.
Item Icon Stats Description Champion |  90 Ability Power 300 Mana 10 Ability Haste Mana Ascension (60 seconds) For 8 seconds, your Mana Ascends. While Ascended, your spells cost 100% more Mana and you gain 10.0% increased Ability damage, Shielding, Healing, and your cooldowns progress 25% faster. Veigar, Annie, and Orianna |
Blood Sphere
This new AD Omnivamp item gives some Tenacity and Haste that scales with your bonus AD. For light fighters, this should be the late-game sustain item of choice, particularly since it gives a large amount of extra Omnivamp after you get a takedown to help you pop off in teamfights.
Item Icon Stats Description Champions |  60 Attack Damage 5% Omnivamp 20% Tenacity Hasty Gain 5 Haste. Goredrinking Whenever an enemy champion dies within 3 seconds of you damaging them, gain 10% Omnivamp for 8 seconds. Zed, Nocturne, and Talon |
Scepter of Bonking
The Scepter of Bonking is an AP Fighter Sheen item that doubles your on-hits, letting some AP fighters with powerful on-hits in their kit pop off. This might be one of the most interesting new items coming in 2026 for champions like Gwen and Kayle.
Item Icon Stats Description Champions |  250 Health 60 Ability Power 20 Ability Haste 25% Attack Speed Spellblade (1.5 seconds) After using an Ability, your next attack deals 114 (AP/AD) bonus magic damage. On-Hit and applies On-Hit effects an additional time. Gwen, Diana, and Kayle |
Snowbow
The Snowbow is a new long-range item for the ADCs coming in 2026. It increases your Attack Damage based on how far away you are from your target, and on takedowns, you can also get a large amount of extra range for a while to clean up teamfights.
Item Icon Stats Description Champions |  50 Attack Damage 25% Critical Strike Chance Sniping Deal up to 10% increased damage with Attacks, based on how far away the enemy is (max damage at 700 range). Blasting Whenever a champion you dealt damage to within 3 seconds dies, gain 100 additional attack range for 6 seconds. Caitlyn, Jinx, and Aphelios |
Assassin item [No name]
For AD assassins, this item will offer a way to end the game quickly in 2026. Whenever you get a takedown, it grants a buff that makes your next attack against an epic monster or tower deal a large amount of damage over time, scaling with your lethality, making it so that ahead of AD assassins can close games out if they're successfully assassinating their targets. It also gives some extra true damage to a spell every so often, based on your lethality.
Item Icon Stats Description Champions |  55 Attack Damage 22 Lethality 15 Ability Haste Deal Damage (20 seconds) Dealing Ability damage to a Champion or Epic Monster deals an additional 15 true damage. Please End the Game Taking down a champion within 3 seconds of damaging them grants Game Health for 90 seconds. While you have Game Health, your next Attack against an Epic Monster or Turret deals an additional 240 true damage over 3 seconds. |
In 2026, Stormrazer and Hextech Gunblade will also come back to the game. For Stormrazer, the item will return as an Attack Damage, Critical Strike Chance, and Attack Speed item with an Energized effect that deals damage and grants movement speed when primed. On the other side, Hextech Gunblade will come back, giving both AP and AD, Spell Vamp, and Lifesteal, as well as a targeted active dealing damage and slowing the target.
Wards and vision
Aside from the new items coming in 2026, League of Legends will also introduce some changes to the vision and ward system. Riot is looking to power wards dropped by pushing champions, especially for mid and top laners. "We wanted to make it easier to learn how to effectively ward the map by creating clear and immediate value for getting vision, and give broader access to vision for more positions, which is largely monopolized by supports today," Riot explained.
The game will be introducing Faelights. If you place a ward in them, you'll gain extra vision beyond a ward's typical range. They are set in predetermined locations with some spawning at the beginning of the match and more appearing when the Elemental Rift transforms. However, if you are a jungler, not everything is ruined for your invasions. The bonus vision duration will have a limit and leave some space for you to roam or gank.
As for yellow trinkets, their cooldown will be reduced, so you can have them available more consistently. Some additional Scryer's Blooms will also be added to the map.
That's all for now. Stick around for more League of Legends news, guides, and updates on esports.gg.
