Lore

His is a tale of charm and daring — heroic feats backed by deadly prowess. A traveler of the Realm looking for worthy foes to test his mettle, sharpening his skills and weapons alike. Adored by the people, feared in battle — Tiberius, The Weapons-Master, knows no equal!

Born of the Tigron, Tiberius is the pinnacle of their values. A dashing legend — bold, brash, and relentless — anointed by an ancient blade, destined for battles that are nothing short of legendary.

With Chakrams, forged by the weapon-smiths of his ancestors; and a sword, forged from the heavens themselves — an ancient artifact capable of banishing unspeakable evils from this world — he is ready for any threat! Tiberius is exhilarated by the opportunity to match blades with a worthy foe. Snarling, he charges headlong into the fray, unleashing an unrelenting storm of steel, claw, and fang. En garde!

Summary

Tiberius is a damage champion, with his chakrams he is a real treat indeed! He is best with a fast firing champion like Viktor or Raum next to him, because his fire rate is pretty slow, but combat trance lets him attack and move a lot faster. He is really flexible to your type of play style, because of his cards. His heavy blade is used best when a low health opponent is retreating behind a shield. Crouching Tigron lets him jump into or escape from a battle quickly. His Ultimate is something you will get used to, as it is really hard to know what to do the first few times you use it. Altogether, Tiberius is a great champion if used right, but you should use some other damage champ if you are the only damage champion.
