Disc of the Sun: Azir can summon the Sun Disc from the ruins of a turret once every 3 minutes. The Sun Disc behaves like a normal turret but disintegrates over 1 minute. Click the ruins of a turret to activate Disc of the Sun. The ruins of enemy Nexus and Inhibitor turrets are immune to this ability.

Azir sends all Sand Soldiers towards a target location. Sand Soldiers deal 60/90/120/150/180 (+0.5 AP) magic damage to all enemies they pass through and apply a stacking 25% slow for 1 second.
(W) Arise!
40 Mana
1.5 Second Cooldown
Azir summons a Sand Soldier for 9 seconds. When Azir attacks an enemy in a soldier’s range, the soldier attacks instead of Azir, dealing X [ flat damage is based on level - 50/55/60/65/70/75/80/85/90/100/110/120/130/140/150/160/170 ](+.7 AP) magic damage to enemies in a line.If multiple soldiers strike the same target, each soldier after the first deals 25% damage. Soldiers attack even if Azir himself isn’t in basic attack range.
Azir can store up to 2 Sand Soldiers at a time. A new soldier becomes available every 12/11/10/9/8 seconds. Moving too far away from soldiers deactivates them. Sand Soldiers expire twice as fast when near an enemy turret.
Azir can expend a soldier to damage an enemy turret by summoning it on top of the turret. This deals X (0.7 AP) magic damage to the turret.
(E) Shifting Sands
60 Mana

Azir dashes to one of his Sand Soldiers, damaging enemies hit for 60/90/120/150/180 (+.4 AP) magic damage and knocking them up for 0.5 seconds. If Azir hits an enemy champion, he stops and gains a 4 second shield that absorbs 60/100/140/180/220 (+X) [15% of bonus Health] damage
(R) Emperor's Divide
100 Mana
140/120/100 sec Cooldown
Azir summons a wall of armored soldiers that charge forward, knocking back enemies and dealing 150/225/300 (+0.6 AP) magic damage. The soldiers then remain as a wall for 5/6/7 seconds.
Enemies will be stopped by Emperor’s Divide, even if they attempt to dash over the wall, but Azir and his allies can pass freely and gain 20% movement speed for 1 second when they pass through the wall.
Emperor’s Divide does not interact with Azir’s basic attacks or spells
Lore, Voice over, and Special Interactions
As Azir's story remains to be told, he only has a small bio listed in the client:
"Once a mortal man blinded by his own hubris, Azir has recently returned as an ascended being with unmatched dominion over the burning sands. He seeks to restore Shurima to its former glory, but some dispute his right to rule them. Azir's power, however, is undeniable."
The rest of Azir's & Shurima's story will play out over on the Shurima promo page, including Descent into the Tomb and Rise of the Ascended.

Release skin - Galactic Azir
Galactic Azir
975 RP // 1462 RP in Release Bundle until end of release weekend
From the release announcement:
"The evening’s gentle darkness envelops a lone, rickety barn, its decayed walls sagging against the framework. A cool breeze glides across the surrounding fields. Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light punctures the clouds, enveloping the world beneath. The earth begins to quake, crumbling rotted beams as a massive vessel usurps the sky. It plummets through the air, halting its plunge before smoothly touching down. Settling to the ground, the front wall of the skip dilates open, revealing an imposing figure silhouetted against the pale glow of the ship’s interior. Galactic Azir has come to rule."
