First appearance: S1E7 — Wild Magic — Strako v Zayliss · watch it on YouTube
The portal tower adrift in the cosmos is a lonely structure floating free among the stars, home to four very different portals and a clock that refuses to keep proper time. It was described as “the chaos of time and space,” and the champions who fought there found out exactly what that meant. Stepping through one door never quite guaranteed where you would come out, or in what condition.
Description
The tower’s defining feature is its set of four portals, each with a personality of its own. The green portal smells of spring and citrus, and it can either mend a wounded fighter or spit them out somewhere else entirely. The blood pool is far less pleasant: it is full of squirming bodies that drag anyone who enters down into its depths before releasing them elsewhere.
The fire portal, a “molten forge” of flame and lava, sears anyone who comes out of it. Whoever emerges from the mirrored space portal finds their next strike landing a little truer than it should. The portals are connected in unpredictable ways, so a fighter who dives into one may be thrown back out of another.
A clock also stands in the tower, and it moves in a different time from the world around it. It is a small, unsettling reminder that the usual rules of time and space barely apply here.
History
The tower served as an arena in S1E7 — Wild Magic — Strako v Zayliss, where Strako and Zayliss fought in the middle of its shuffling doorways. Both champions used the portals during the fight, and neither could fully predict where the tower would send them.
Zayliss tried the green portal twice. On her first pass it dumped her out of the mirrored space portal. On her second it lived up to its fresh, citrusy promise and healed her. Strako had a rougher ride. The blood pool pulled him under and sent him out of the space portal, and later it pitched him straight into the fire portal and its molten forge.
Notable Figures
- Strako: fought here and was passed from the blood pool to the space portal and then into the fire.
- Zayliss: fought here and was ejected from the space portal on her first trip through the green portal, then healed by it on her second.
