GAMING 101

Pick a side in AoV’s biggest rivalries

Emotions run high in Arena of Valor, and not just for the players! The game’s cast of heroes is rife with love, drama and conflict. Here are some of the biggest rivalries you might not know about between these heavy hitters.

Tanker Maloch is also known as the Lord of the Abyss. He might be fearsome and powerful, but reasoning and logic are definitely not his strong suits.

Airi, on the other hand, is a samurai who stands for justice and equality. When these two conflicting personalities come together, Airi has been known to cut off Maloch’s wings, and he returns the favour by hacking off Airi’s ponytail!

Veera is the very symbol of dark magic, using it to bend and dominate her enemies’ minds in order to serve her own agenda.

On the other end of the spectrum is Illumia, who uses her knowledge of the universe to fight against chaos and uphold justice. When these two face each other on the battlefield, sparks – and deadly spells – fly.

Enzo and Hayate both started out serving the Temple, until Hayate’s betrayal puts him squarely in Enzo’s crosshairs. This is a tale of secrets and intrigue, and it has inspired many spin-offs in the game’s fan fiction.

Now you know the tangled pasts of these Arena of Valor heroes. Help them get revenge against their rivals the next time you see them on the lane.
