The newest champion coming to the hit game is Milio in League of Legends. Milio is a young boy with mastery over the fire element, hailing from the country of Ixtal. Ixtal hasn’t had much representation besides information from Qiyana’s lore, so Milio will provide us with some unique insights into the country.
Milio is set to be a Support character who uses fire manipulation to shield and support his allies. This guide will cover everything we know in League of Legends about Milio’s abilities, playstyle, and release date.

When is the League of Legends Milio release date?
Milio will be released on March 22, 2023, when LoL patch 13.6 hits the live servers. Luckily, you don’t have to wait that long, as Milio has already hit the PBE servers. Milio was added as a playable character to the PBE servers on March 7. Players have had time to test him and have mostly given positive reviews.
What are Milio’s abilities in League of Legends?
Now, let’s go over Milio’s kit and how his abilities work.
Passive - Fired Up
Milio’s abilities will empower nearby allies on touch. Empowered allies will deal an additional burst of damage and apply a burn on the next auto.
Q - Ultra Mega Fire Kick
Milio kicks a ball up in the air that knocks back an enemy and explodes upon landing behind enemies. The explosion deals damage and slows anyone caught in it.
W - Cozy Campfire
Milio creates a zone that heals allies and increases their attack range. The zone moves towards the ally closest to the cast location.
E - Warm Hugs
Milio shields an ally with his flames, which also increases their movement speed for a short duration.
R - Breath of Life
Milio rises into the air and unleashes flames that remove all crowd control debuffs and heal allies within their radius.
What is Milio’s playstyle in League of Legends?
After seeing his kit, it’s evident that Milio is designed for the bot lane support role. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to see him turn into a staple in competitive play. Milio is an excellent utility support whose strength lies in buffing his ADC.
The healing and extra auto-attack range can help turn bad ADC matchups into winnable ones. Pair this up with his ability to knock back enemies and remove crowd control, and you get the perfect support for an unstoppable ADC.
Overall Milio has an excellent kit with a bit of utility for every situation. This flexibility will put him up with the likes of Janna or Nami, and we’re excited to see what ADC pairing will work best with him.
