How to evolve weapons in LoL Swarm

To evolve your weapons in League’s new Swarm game mode, you need to acquire them for the first time as you gain experience points. Afterward, you’ll have to continue gaining EXP so you get the option to level up your weapons.

Weapons can be upgraded up to five times before they evolve into their ultimate form, which gives the item and player more stats and better effects to help them survive more enemies, deal more damage, and clear larger waves of Primordians as you continue to jump up in difficulty. It’s important to level up your weapons to their highest potential so you have a fighting chance against the various bosses in the game.
