The Freljord, found in the icy northern regions of Runeterra, is home to some of the most resilient champions in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:League of Legends lore. With nine total champions representing this region to choose from in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Legends of Runeterra, you might be ♛wondering which are the best, and which💯 are not.
With each Freljordian champion offering something different, and synergizing well with the likes of Frostbite, Overwhelm units, and eight-plus costing units, there is a variety of decks you can build. Some of them even synergize exceptionally w꧙ell with one another, making the prospect of a pure Freljord deck appealing. Either way, let’s take a look at which have the best value, so you can make an informed decision.
Disclaimer: Generally speaking, all the champions in Legends of Runeterra are win conditions in their own right. As such, almost any one of them can single-handedly win a game if they’re left unchecked by your opponenꦓt.
With that in mind, the following ranking sysꦉtem does not take this into consideration, but rather, considers everything else about the card, such as mana cost-to-stats ratio, its effect, its evolution conditions, how easy it is for an opponent to deal with said c🐼ard, and more.
Updated November 15th, 2022 by Shane Martin: Legends of Runeterra’s past two expansions, Awakening and Domination, saw the addition of many new units, spells, and even keywords to the game. The Awakening expansion specifically brought Equipment and all the keywords surrounding that, which undoubtedly shook up the meta quite a bit, but it also brought a few new champions, namely Ornn, into the fray. The Domination expansion also brought new cards to the growing collection, and while it changed the meta just as much as Awakening, it didn’t add any new Freljordian champions. As such, this article was updated to include Ornn in the list of Freljordian champions, as well as shake up the order of champions to better reflect the meta.
10 Gnar
Gnar is at the bottom of the list, strictly due to his mana cost-to-stats ratio, as the base value is not that great. Four mana f🐻or three-attack, three-health is not ideal, and you’re overpaying for what you get.
While it is true that you can evolve him in one round to five-attack, five-health, the fact remains that Gnar needs to be in play in order to evolve. Additi🐽onally, every time you get the attack token, he goes back to his original three-attack, three-health self, making him even more vulnerable as the game goes on.
9 Udyr
Udyr is in a similar situation as Gnar in terms of his mana cost-to-stats ratio, since he has almost identical value. Five mana for five-attack, four health is nonetheless slightly better than Gnar, but he can level up without being🌼 in play, making him five mana for six-attack, five health. He’s also higher up on the list than Gnar because he has the power to buff himself quite a lot (thanks to his passive effect), making him far tankier than Gnar could ever hope to be.
The fact remains, however, that if you play Udyr before leveling him up, it's pretty easy to take him off the board at turn five. This is because his stances are also slow-spells, allowing fast and burst-spells to swoop in and kill him before he can use them.
8 Tryndamere 💝
Tryndamere is a powerhouse, that much is indisputable. For eight mana, having a combined⛦ stat amount of 17 attack, 13 health thanks to his passive — not to mention Overwhelm, Fearsome, and Tough when evolved — is absurd value.
However, he is also a bit clunky (and situational) to play, as there are simply way too many methods to incapacitate him through stuns, recalls, and Frostbite. If Tryndamere is counterd🐼 by any one of these, the eight mana cost to play him b♈ecomes a gigantic waste of resources.
7 Anivia
Anivia swoops in close to the middle of the list because she has decent value, and isn’t overly clunky to play. Simply put, she’s average. First off, her situation is similar to Tryndamere’s, as she can easily be countered with the likes of stuns or recalls. Frostbite won't work though, since her attack-passive will still proc even with zero attack power. This is less punishing, though, because she only costs six mana to play.
Her mana cost-to-stats ratio isn't the best, especially at her level one. Six mana for three-attack, five-health is quite bad. Her only saving graces are her Last Breath, which gives her an extra one health to play with, and her attack-passive. Anivia is best played when her evolution is guaranteed, making her much more formidable between the constant revival threat she poses if her egg isn’t dealt with, and her attack-passive dealing two damage to all enemies instead of one. If her level one form weren’t so clunky, she’d be higher on this list for sure.
6 Braum
Braum is one of the best anti-aggro champions in the game, and has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:long been a staple of control decks, which is why he’s as high up on the list as he is. Four mana for six health, Challenger, and Regeneration? Sign us up! Who cares if he has zero attack? He gets one attack upon evolving, but that doesn’t even matter, because once evolved, he becomes a poro-spawning machine. Leveling him up ꧒isn’t too hard to do without making your opponent waste resources, either.
Six health is n💝o joke in the early game, as it’s very hard to ♎remove without dumping more resources than you want into doing so. Plus, getting your opponent to drop a high mana-costing spell to remove Braum is great value for you.
5 Lissandra
Lissandra is an early game powerhouse. Three mana for two-attack, three-health is nice, but with Tough added onto that, she is a great card for ♏dealing with aggro decks.
She’s not as good as 🤪Braum in this regard, but she excels in the late game with her free Ice Shards, and more importantly, her Watcher upon leveling up. This win condition is why she’s higher ranked than Braum.
4 Ashe
Ashe finds herself higher up on this list for a couple of reasons. While paying four mana for five-attack, three-health stats isn’t the best, it’s average, so can’t complain there. Ashe can also level up without being in play (quite easily, actually), allowing her to be played with six-attack, fouඣr-health,ไ which is pretty good value for four mana.
On top of that, although her attack-passive makes her vulnerable to getting killed by an enemy blocker, having an aura that prevents zero-attack enemies fro♊m blocking, along with her Crystal Arrow upon leveling up, makes her a very scary threat. Even so, her low health makes it pretty 𓆏easy to remove her from the board, which is why she’s not ranked better on this list.
3 Ornn

Ornn makes it to number three on this list mainly because of his potential. While four-attack, four-health may seem incredibly bad for seven mana, it is deceptive, as when you play him, he creates a copy of an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Equipment in your 𝄹hand and Equips it. While this gives him some extra stats, no Equipment (unless Forged) will get his mana cost-to-stats ratio above average. While he’s lacking in this department slightly, he ma𓂃kes up for it in his attack effect both in his base and leveled-up form.
The fact that he Forges himself twice is huge, as he not only creates an extra piece of Equipment, but he gives it more stats. Thus, even if he dies, as long as you can get an attack or two off with him, you’ll have a buffed-up Equipment to put on any other minion, carrying the value forward. Though Ornn is slightly dependent on Equipment and has a mana cost-to-stats ra🎐tio that leaves a bit to be desired, he remains a strong powerhouse through his attack effects. He can be leveled up out of play too, improving his base stats a bit and lessening his poor mana cost-to-stats ratio.
2 Trundle
Trundle is second best on this list mostly because of how much value is in his mana cost-to-stats ratio. Five mana for four-attack, six health is sweet — six health is generally a great amount of health to have in the mid-game. With Regeneration added onto that, he’s grea💝t for trading.
On top of that, the Ice Pillar he gives upon leveling up is nothing to scoff at, as not only are you granted a free eight-cost minion, but you give Vulnerable to your opponent’s strongest minion — which is, more often than not, a champion. This enables y🗹ou to dispatch a high-priority threat more easily.
1 Sejuani
The best Freljordian champion has to be Sejuani, and she's possibly one of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:best champions in the entire game. Six mana for five-attack, six-health is great mana cost-to-stats value in itself. Add to that the fact that she can level up without being in play, giving her six-attack, seven-health for six mana, and that's truly superb value.
This doesn't even consider both her play-effect and passive, which are completely broken against any deck that isn’t hugely spell-focused. It shuts down any lineup of minions in a heartbeat. Additionally, being able to set a minion to zero attack and Vulnerable can single-handedly swing the game in your favor. You’re essentially getting a great stat-body and a free enemy-minion removal for six mana. It's hard to get better than that in this game.
