Top 10 Best Duos for League of Legends Arena

Arena is returning to League of Legends and will be available for 4 months, with hopes of becoming a permanent mode in the future. This version features 16 players in 8 teams of 2, all fighting for a top-4 finish. Players can look forward to these new changes and challenges.

Other updates include new Prismatic items that can shape your build, the addition of Anvils offering a random selection of items, and Anvil stats for extra adaptability. There’s also a new map with a Bloom Bridge that isn’t always passable. Despite these changes, the core gameplay stays the same, focusing on how well teams can compete. Champion synergy is still important, so League of Legends players should know the best duos for League of Legends Arena.

1. Sona & Shyvana

Sona and Shyvana are two of the strongest champions in Arena and work really well together. Shyvana is tough to take down, and with Sona providing heals, shields, and extra speed, the duo becomes nearly unstoppable.

Shyvana's versatility in building different setups is a big advantage in Arena since she can make use of nearly any Prismatic items and Augments. This duo is not only one of the best combos in Arena but also one of the easiest to execute, with Sona being especially easy to use.

2. Master Yi & Yuumi

Master Yi has always been a strong carry who performs better with support to cover his weaknesses. The latest popular combo in Arena pairs him with Yuumi, who attaches to Yi and provides various buffs and slows.

In the current Arena meta, attaching Yuumi to one of the strongest fighters makes things much easier. In addition to heals and shields, Yuumi gives Master Yi extra movement speed and attack speed. This helps Yi stay on top of enemies and deal damage more quickly, while Yuumi can make him temporarily untargetable. Since Yuumi can’t be attacked while attached to Yi, area-of-effect damage and crowd control, which are typically effective in Arena, become less useful against this duo.

3. Bel'Veth & Yuumi

Another duo with Yuumi in League of Legends Arena! While Bel'Veth can be challenging to play in the Jungle or Arena, players who master her special style will find she is incredibly powerful.

Yuumi lacks hard crowd control, but Bel'Veth's knockups compensate for this, making them a strong duo. In 2v2 fights, where Yuumi’s partner becomes the primary target, Bel'Veth can use her four dashes in different directions to avoid damage and turn the tide in their favor.

4. Sylas & Cho'Gath

Cho'Gath is one of the top champions in Arena this patch, and he generally succeeds as long as his partner is decent. To secure a first-place finish, players should consider pairing him with Sylas.

Sylas is performing well right now and works well with Cho'Gath by adding more crowd control and sustain. This makes them effective in extended battles. Although both deal magic damage, which can be countered, this is less of an issue in an 8-team mode. Additionally, Cho'Gath's ultimate is excellent for finishing off enemies since it deals true damage.

5. Sona & Graves

Sona and Graves are an unexpected top combo in Arena, as squishy pairs often struggle. However, with Sona performing well, she provides Graves with extra burst damage and keeps his health topped up.

Sona’s often-overlooked Q ability gives Graves extra damage on his auto-attacks, and with various enchanter items available, she can further boost his damage. With some Lifesteal and Sona’s heals, Graves becomes tough to kill and gains better kiting power from Sona’s speed boosts.

6. Veigar & Pantheon

One of the top duos for League of Legends Arena is Veigar and Pantheon. The idea is straightforward: if Pantheon lands his point-and-click stun, Veigar can then use his cage and unleash his full burst combo, making this duo both exciting and powerful.

Pantheon’s damage is significant as well, and with both physical and magical damage, they’re hard to counter. Another effective combo involves Veigar trapping an opponent in his cage, followed by Pantheon using his ultimate on them. Their combined executes are also a major advantage for finishing off intense fights.

7. Kog'Maw & Lulu

Lulu and Kog'Maw have always been a strong Bot Lane combo, but with recent changes to Arena and their current power level, players can now fully explore their 2v2 potential.

The concept is straightforward: Kog'Maw is the hyper carry, and if Lulu can keep him safe, her buffs will let him tear through even the toughest tanks. With his mixed damage, Kog'Maw can use a variety of Augments and Prismatic items, making adaptability crucial in this version of Arena.

8. Mordekaiser & Kha'Zix

Mordekaiser and Kha'Zix make a striking duo effective in Arena when facing two enemies at once. The strategy is straightforward: Kha'Zix deals extra damage with his Q to isolated enemies. So, if Mordekaiser uses his ultimate to pull one enemy into the death realm, Kha'Zix can then focus on and eliminate the isolated target.

The player controlling Mordekaiser should target the tankier enemy with his ultimate. The goal isn’t necessarily to win the fight but to buy time for Kha'Zix to take down the other enemy.

9. Yasuo & Yone

Yasuo and Yone, as iconic brothers with similar skills, make a strong pair in Arena. If either can land their knockups, they can keep the action going and quickly overwhelm their enemies.

When played perfectly, Yasuo and Yone are nearly unstoppable in Arena. However, mastering them is challenging since they are among the hardest champions to play. Both deal AD crit damage, which can make them vulnerable to counter-building. But with 8 teams instead of 4 in Arena now, it's much harder to build items specifically to counter them.

10. Rengar & Ivern

Rengar and Ivern have long been a unique and fun duo in League of Legends, and they've even had success in Bot Lane. Recent Arena-specific buffs to Rengar have boosted their standing, making them a top choice in Arena duos and still strong in this iteration.

This combo works by Ivern creating bushes for Rengar to leap from, allowing him to deal extra damage. Ivern can also shield and fully support Rengar, helping him carry the team. With the new Augments and Prismatic items in Arena, this duo becomes even more intriguing.
