■ Summoners War x The Lord of the Rings
On Jan. 29 PST, the heroes of an epic journey centered around the One Ring will arrive on Sky Island, reimagined in the unique style of Summoners War.
The Lord of the Rings is a high fantasy masterpiece written by J. R. R. Tolkien, set in the vast world of Middle-earth and built around the conflicts and choices surrounding the One Ring.
Since its initial publication in the 1950s, it has been loved by readers around the world for decades and is widely regarded as the foundation and benchmark of the fantasy genre.
Among the many characters connected to the One Ring, we have selected five who stand out for their strong roles and symbolic significance.
Let us introduce the characters from The Lord of the Rings who will be joining us.
■ The Lord of the Rings Collab Characters
Five iconic characters who left a powerful impression in the original story have been chosen as Collab Characters: Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gollum.
Frodo, the heart of the journey, who moves forward to fulfill his mission to destroy the One Ring.
Gandalf, the Grey Wizard who protects the Fellowship with wisdom and magic. Aragorn, the heir to the throne and trusted guide to the Fellowship. Legolas, the Elven warrior who turns the tide with sharp perception and agility. Gollum, a creature who embodies obsession and duality, consumed by the temptation of the One Ring.
These beloved characters, each with their own distinct appeal, have been reimagined in the unique style of Summoners War to bring you a fresh and exciting experience.
The Lord of the Rings Collab Characters will be added in Awakened form only, using their unique character names, just like previous collabs.
Please note that some will be available as both default 4★ and 5★ depending on their attribute.
For this collab, Frodo will be available exclusively as a default 5★ Water Collab Character from a collab event.
