What is League of Legends Arena?
LoL Arena was a game mode introduced back in 2023 with the goal of bringing a completely new way to play League of Legends. Unlike traditional 5v5 matches like Summoner’s Rift and ARAM, Arena is the game mode that allows you to team up with one teammate as the two of you enter the battlefield to face other duos.
By focusing on specific duo comps and maximizing the synergy between the two players, Arena is all about constant skirmishing and outplaying the opponents with your mechanical skills. It’s a much faster game mode, with almost no downtime the moment a round starts.
Riot Games always brings new elements to the game mode, requiring players not only to understand the champions but also to find the right synergies, augments, and itemization to maximize the duo’s overall power. With that in mind, here is the League of Legends Arena Tier List, updated to the current Patch 25.15.
LoL Arena Tier List 2025 – Champions List
Our Arena Tier List is based on six tiers (Z, S, A, B, C, D). Here is the full list of champions ranked. Be aware that individual champions don’t always translate to higher chances of victory since augments and duo synergies also matter. That being said, higher tiers generally perform better than lower ones.

The best combinations in LoL Arena Patch 25.15
The current meta in Arena favors big tanks like Cho’Gath, Sion, and Dr. Mundo. Not only are they hard to kill but they also deal massive damage thanks to the Immolate effect on their tank items, which deal damage based on maximum health. While this is getting nerfed in the next Patch 25.16, you still have enough time to abuse these champions if you want to place high in lobbies.
Other champions that work well are either champions with long and reliable crowd control chains like Rell and Galio, or high DPS champions like Master Yi, Jax, and Bel’Veth, with the support of enchanter champions like Zilean and Yuumi. The latter, in particular, is great to gain leads thanks to his passive, granting higher levels and the ability to revive his ally with the ultimate.
- Cho’Gath + Rell/Amumu/Galio/Sion/Dr. Mundo/Yasuo/Pantheon
- Rell + Dr.Mundo/Cho’Gath/Yasuo
- Yuumi + Jax/Master Yi/Bel’Veth/Fizz
- Dr. Mundo + Zilean/Rell/Sion/Cho’Gath/Galio
