League of Legends Tournament of Souls guide: How to play, all opponents, combos, and more 

Tournament of Souls is a fighting-game-style meta mode in League of Legends that follows Samira's journey. Throughout this style-rating-focused combo-battler, you have the opportunity to gain Reputation by engaging in duels. Reputation can be used to open doors leading to combat with unfamiliar adversaries and unlocking fresh abilities, propelling Samira's advancement in the tournament.

After you have unlocked the Story and Expert difficulty levels of this competition, you will be able to take on new challenges and claim rewards as you strive to defeat all 10 opponents and become the Champion. This game mode—which went live on July 20, 2023, alongside the League of Legends Ranked Season 2023 Split 2—will run until August 28, 2023.

Following the latest League of Legends update, you will get a new section to play the Tournament of Souls. Despite being a minigame, it has a few different facets and offers a great story to hop into. Furthermore, the artwork for this game mode is prominent. Here's what this minigame comes with:

• There's a Launch option to open up a completely different game mode on the LoL client.
• Subsequently, you can choose between two difficulty settings: Story and Expert. The former is relatively easier than the latter.
• You can take your time and read all the stories related to Samira's journey.
• The first battle is going to be against Jhin, as the game will guide you on different aspects of the battle, including abilities, combos, etc.
• The first to reach 0 health will lose. Also, each battle will have a timer. If you can't beat the opponent inside it, you will lose.
• When the battle is over, it will take you to a map where you have to fight ten champions from League of Legends.
• Once you finish a fight, you can unlock a new ability and assign it using the Edit option.

Reputation Points are crucial for fighting the next champion. However, only playing this mode will not grant you many Points. For that, you have to complete various missions in another new game mode in League of Legends, The 2v2v2v2 Arena.

You can check your points at the bottom-left corner, above Samira's name. If you get stuck on bounty missions, you need to play as the relevant champion, and if you read their quote, the title offers a hint as to what you have to do.

Essentially, you have to go back and forth between playing Arena and Tournament of Souls to get more Reputation Points. However, it's quite fun and engaging to complete the tasks as well as defeat all ten opponents in this 2D fighting game.
