League of Legendshas recently debuted its newest game mode, Swarm. This is similar to games likeVampire Survivors, in that you control asmall characterthat (mostly) auto-attacks enemies for you.

This is a tried-and-true formula, thoughLeague’simplementation of it can have a little bit of confusion behind it at first. Here’s how to get more passive slots inLeague of Legends’Swarm game mode.

Where to get more passive slots in LoL Swarm

Passive slots are awarded uponcompletion of certain challengesthat are unlocked as you progress. You start with three passive slots, and can earn a fourth passive slot by getting three separate passives in a single game. That leaves two locked passive slots with challenges that only appear once you reach Hard and Expert mode, respectively. Once you do, you should get a challenge for each.

If you don’t know already, you can unlock new difficulty modes upon completing the main set of maps. These maps areWarehouse District, The Outskirts, Subterranean Lab, and The Beachhead. This will unlock Matchmaking Island (which is the ability to queue up with random players) alongside Hard mode. Completing all maps on Hard mode then unlocks Expert mode.

Are extra passive slots worth the effort?

The other passive slots are absolutely worth getting. Having more passives means that you canevolve more of your five availableweapons, along with having one extra passive to upgrade whatever you want. If you get to the point where you need a sixth passive, you should pick one that provides benefits to as many of your weapons as possible. The stats that benefit each weapon can be found by hovering over them.
