League of Legends has an extensive champion roster of over 150 Champions, all with unique abilities and skill sets. But what are all the LoL champions with swords as their primary weapon?
This article will explore which League of Legends champions wield a sword and how they are used. Like in our Champions with guns article, the number is not as big as you think. We have gathered the complete list of LoL champions with swords, and that number may surprise you.

Aatrox wields a sword like no other in League of Legends and is one of the scarier champions to go against on this list in the top lane. He uses his sword to slam into the ground. If enemies are struck by the sword in the target area, they are knocked into the air for a short period.
Aatrox’s passive also heals him by attacking an enemy with his sword.

Fiora is dashing in every way, and her dueling skills are second to none. She uses quick attacks with her sword to whittle down her opponents. Fiora’s abilities are linked to sword duels with quick bursts and a riposte, which blocks an incoming ability.

Gangplank is one of two champions that use both guns and swords. Although his pistol is a large part of his kit, so is his sword. You can use his sword if you do not wish to use your pistol to shoot GP’s barrels.
GP’s sword is the primary auto-attack for Gangplank. Thanks to his passive, his sword is very helpful when looking at sieging towers.

Garen is the best at serving justice and has one of the best swords in League of Legends. He uses his sword in all but one ability, with his W providing a shield while you are attacking.
His ultimate is more terrifying if you are the enemy player.

The ultimate scaling champion, Kayle’s sword is one of the more lethal the longer the game goes on. Kayle’s sword is magical because it can be used from range and shoots fire at the enemy.
The longer the game goes on, the better Kayle’s sword becomes.

Leona is the ultimate support champion in the sense both her sword and her shield are vital to her survival on Summoner’s Rift. Her sword is used for a couple of abilities: her Q, which stuns the enemy in place, and her E, which lunges at the closest enemy champion you hit.

Shen’s weapon is on the line when it comes to being classed as a sword. Nevertheless, he uses it to great success. Shen is surprisingly a very strong champion in the early game, thanks to his sword. His auto attacks will catch out a lot of top laners, which is why some Shens even take Ignite as a summoner spell.

The undying warrior, Tryndamere does an insane amount of damage with his sword. When Tryndamere auto attacks, his rage bar increases; when he is in full rage, his damage output is incredible as he smashes you over the head with his sword.

Viego’s weapon is probably the most famous in this article. His weapon’s name is the Blade of the Ruined King. It is an item you can buy in-game, and it has deep League of Legends lore connected to the sword.

Yasuo is one of the more popular sword-wielding characters in our LoL champions with swords list; take that as you will. He is the ultimate Samurai and uses his sword skills in combat on Summoner’s Rift. He has quick attacks with his Q and can use it to create a small tornado that knocks champions up into the air.

Yone is the final champion on our list, a champion that, while similar to Yasuo, offers different abilities while wielding two swords. He combines quick attacks with ranged attacks thanks to his E, which magically allows him to extend beyond his current position.
