Longest Animation From A Single Spellcast - Legends of Runeterra

Inspired by the reddit post the other day of u/Trexkylorenurek forcing someone to watch "Shurima, the feature length film", I decided to make a combo that results in the longest animation chain from a single spellcast. This is the result including 8 level-ups, the sun disc animation, and one spellcast. Enjoy

Yeah. i really love the new level up animations, but i wish they just stayed with the older style. i feel it fit more. it also keeps the old ones from looking obsolete

@topple I know in LoL old champions have 20 animations but newer ones have over 100.

[@FrostyPeppercorn]

@topple udyr's passive gives him around 15% movement speed and 30% attack speed on 3 stacks Samira has a knockup on controlled targets Basic attack and 1st skill changing depending on range Her ult has a 5 second cooldown which can only be triggered if you get enough style points A 360° windwall which increases the damage on her melee attacks And a taunt that makes her lose 1 gold and make an enemy take 1 damage if it hits

The story: Nasus and Renekton are fighting each other on the top lane using their Ults. Azir is coming from mid to gank for Nasus but TF Ults in front of Renekton with his gold card ready thus stunning that bird. TF got bonked by Nasus, leaving Renekton to fend for himself. Fizz followed Azir earlier from mid, finished him off with his Ult while he was stunned. Renekton sliced Fizz but he can't handle the fish's mobility. Fizz got away but a bugged sand soldier got him, making Azir a rich bird. Renekton and Nasus are still fighting each other, disregarding the fact that the match is already over 2 hours now.
