Background & History

Teemo appeared aboard Lu Xingyuan's train as a small, furry Yordle wearing a green hat, telescope, and large backpack. His arrival coincided with the activation of Lu Xingyuan's Yordle Hextech, which had apparently been charging until it could summon a companion. Initially distraught and wanting to return home, Teemo gradually accepted life in Train World after Lu Xingyuan explained its rules and welcomed him aboard. 142 143

Although identified as a max-level Teemo with his original skill set, he initially lacked the physical strength and combat confidence to thrive in Train World. He began intensive training through the Electric Chair, gene enhancement potions, the Rock-Pressure Body-Tempering Chamber, and real combat. 143 151 233 265

Lu Xingyuan later equipped Teemo with the sniper rifle Dark Ember Judgment, allowing him to use his poison and blinding attacks at long range. The weapon was eventually upgraded into the Level 6 End Protocol · Thousand-Faced Divine Mechanism, completing Teemo's shift from a vulnerable close-range fighter into a flexible combatant capable of sniping, siege warfare, and melee defense. 181 351

As Teemo's role in the train family grew, he became Lu Xingyuan's formally acknowledged second-in-command and exercised veto power over new members joining the group. He later gained the group-supporting Holy Barrier, further broadening his value beyond direct combat. 233 371 387

After the group acquired two additional Holy Barriers, the three were fused into the Level 7 Holy Judgment Domain. Teemo equipped the resulting artifact, which greatly enhanced his ability to protect the group and fight dark, evil, and undead enemies. 471 534

When Qin Si injured Rumble and offered an Advanced Healing Potion as compensation, Teemo rejected the offer and, with Lu Xingyuan's backing, attacked Qin Si with poison darts. His response demonstrated that his bond with Rumble had grown stronger than their habitual rivalry. Lu Xingyuan subsequently gave both Yordles Metamorphic Grade zombie serum; Teemo's use of the serum is not established. 597 601

Appearance

Teemo is a very short, fluffy Yordle with a round build and a small belly. He first appeared curled into a ball “like a dumpling,” dressed in his recognizable green hat and carrying a telescope and oversized backpack. 142

• Furry body and small stature. 142
• Green hat and telescope hanging at his waist. 142
• Initially carries a large backpack. 142
• Wears a black cloak gifted by Lu Xingyuan, which Teemo considers exceptionally handsome. 248
• Later fights with the floating dodecahedral core of the Thousand-Faced Divine Mechanism. 351
• When Holy Barrier is activated, its thorny golden ring floats behind his head, giving him a conspicuously holy appearance. 387
• After Holy Barrier evolves into Holy Judgment Domain, three thorny golden rings rotate behind his head like a sacred crown. 534
• He later receives a pair of Zero-Type Propulsion Shoes and is notably distressed when they are stained during the Cyber Goblin City expedition. 526 536

Personality

Teemo is deeply emotional, affectionate, and loyal to Lu Xingyuan, whom he consistently calls “Boss.” He is easily moved by kindness, food, tragic stories, and gifts; he has repeatedly cried while expressing gratitude toward Lu Xingyuan. 147 248

He initially lacks confidence and is frightened by powerful enemies, often comparing his small body unfavorably with Lu Xingyuan's strength. Nevertheless, he is determined to stop being a burden, voluntarily undergoes painful enhancement training, and insists on facing real combat even when injured. 151 224 233 353

Following his growth in Train World, Teemo becomes considerably more assertive. He taunts Rumble before defeating him in three seconds, enjoys his status as Second Brother, and occasionally displays a mischievous sense of humor. 372 382

Teemo is notably optimistic and dislikes discouraging attitudes, particularly when Rumble dismisses the team's gains. He remains competitive with Rumble and is motivated to improve whenever Rumble makes a major breakthrough. 471 479

Despite his teasing of Rumble, Teemo is considerate of his fellow Yordle. When Lu Xingyuan offered the life-saving Iron Bone Ring to either of them, Teemo insisted that Rumble take it because Rumble's role as a secondary damage dealer made the item more valuable to the team in his hands. 525

He also takes pride in representing Lu Xingyuan and the train family, wanting to groom himself to look more like an adult when accompanying his boss. 552

Teemo can become fiercely protective when a family member is hurt. After Qin Si injured Rumble, Teemo knocked away Qin Si's offered potion, pushed Rumble out of the confrontation, and attacked Qin Si twice rather than accepting his dismissive compensation. 597

Abilities & Skills

Stealth and mobility

Teemo automatically becomes invisible when he crouches in place without moving. He also uses Little Mo, Run Fast to rapidly escape or reposition in combat. 143 238

• Can remain concealed while stationary. 143
• Uses his speed skill to evade attacks despite his short legs. 238 388
• His mobility does not always overcome enemies with vastly superior speed, as shown against the Tyrant Zombie. 238
• His Zero-Type Propulsion Shoes reduce friction through magnetic-levitation air cushions and further improve his speed. 526
• In a race through the train carriages while using the propulsion shoes, Teemo placed second behind Lu Xingyuan, only 1.1 seconds slower. 527

Poison darts and blindness

Teemo can fire poison darts and use Blinding Dart, with Toxic Shot causing poisonous effects on struck targets. 143 146

• Poison darts can draw enemy aggro and steadily damage targets. 146
• Blinding Dart can be delivered through his sniper weapon from extreme range. 181
• A Crow-form poison arrow poisoned and blinded Sun Wuqi, leaving him unable to locate his opponents. 356
• He killed multiple Cyber Goblins with poisoned arrows during the Cyber Goblin City expedition. 536
• A poison dart struck Qin Si in the shoulder and rapidly spread venom through his body; he drank three antidotes to stop it. Qin Si blocked Teemo's second dart with a defensive item. 597

Mushroom deployment

Teemo can plant explosive poisonous mushrooms and later adapts the ability for ranged delivery. 146 342

• His Big Mushroom attack significantly damages undead. 146
• He can fire mushrooms through his sniper rifle rather than placing them by hand. 342
• With Citybreaker, his mushrooms can become Collapsing Mushrooms: gravitational spore shells that drag targets inward before releasing toxic clouds. 351 389
• Mushroom attacks require cooldown time and are less effective against plant-type enemies with similar attributes. 352 438

Yordle Bond

Teemo is part of Lu Xingyuan's Yordle Hextech bond, which improves the group's dodge chance as more Yordles join the train. 142 370

• Two Yordles grant a 20% dodge chance. 142
• Three Yordles grant a 40% dodge chance. 370
• The bond activated during Sun Wuqi's curse technique, allowing Teemo to escape a binding black ring before destroying it with his blade. 356
• The bond can automatically protect its Yordle members, as demonstrated when Rumble dodged a Cyber Goblin ambush. 536

Thousand-Faced Divine Mechanism

Teemo's Level 6 weapon can perceive the battlefield and switch among three Judgment Protocols. 351

• Protocol One: Crow — A lightweight anti-materiel sniper rifle retaining the 1,800-yard Untraceable Judgment range. Consecutive weak-point hits increase subsequent damage by 15%, stacking until the target dies or leaves combat. 351
• Protocol Two: Citybreaker — A railgun that fires high-density energy clusters, creating gravitational collapse followed by an explosion. It is intended for destroying fortifications, vehicles, and dense enemy formations. 351
• Protocol Three: Sword and Shield — An energy shield absorbs and stores incoming energy attacks while a ship-cleaving blade converts the stored damage into greater offensive power. At full charge, the blade can release a dark-blue energy wave. 351

Holy Barrier

Holy Barrier is a group-supporting defensive item wielded by Teemo. After its transformation, it manifests as a thorny golden ring rather than its original silver shield-shaped amulet form. 387

• Extends its protective effect from a single target to Teemo's entire group. 387
• Increases the group's damage against dark, evil, and undead creatures. 387
• A duplicate Holy Barrier was obtained from a Level 7 treasure chest, and a third Holy Barrier was later acquired at Cyber Goblin City. 471 534
• The three barriers were subsequently fused into Holy Judgment Domain. 534

Holy Judgment Domain

Holy Judgment Domain is the Level 7 artifact formed by combining Teemo's three Holy Barriers. It manifests as three independently rotating thorny rings behind his head. 534

• Unfolds a sanctified domain with an 80-meter radius centered on Teemo. 534
• Allies within the domain gain 40% all-damage reduction. 534
• Allied damage against dark, evil, and undead creatures is increased by 35%. 534
• Enemy units inside the domain are burned by holy flames every five seconds for damage equal to 3% of their maximum health. 534

• Holy Judgment Domain — Level 7 group-support artifact created by fusing three Holy Barriers; grants a defensive and anti-dark sanctified domain. 534

• Metamorphic Grade zombie serum — Lu Xingyuan gave serum to Teemo and Rumble; whether Teemo used his dose is not established. 601

Relationships

• Lu Xingyuan — His boss, mentor, and central source of support. Teemo is fiercely loyal to him, trains to become worthy of his trust, and serves as his right-hand man. Lu Xingyuan backs Teemo when Qin Si challenges his right to defend Rumble. 181 233 371 597
• Alice — Treated as Teemo's older sister within the train family. Teemo is devoted to her safety, while Alice calls him “the best Yordle in the world.” He was alarmed and fell over when Alice's later transformation caused a dragon tail to emerge. 156 223 546
• Rumble — Initially Teemo's romantic rival and a source of jealousy; after defeating Rumble in the Myriad Realms Arena, Teemo becomes his acknowledged Second Brother. Though they remain competitive and quarrelsome, Teemo later supports Rumble's successful upgrades, works alongside him for the team, and gives him the Iron Bone Ring for his protection. When Qin Si injures Rumble, Teemo angrily rejects compensation he considers inadequate and attacks Qin Si. 370 372 427 442 479 525 597
• Tristana — Teemo's longtime romantic interest. His fear of being separated from her makes him especially vulnerable to tragic love stories, and he considers Rumble a rival for her affection. He later learned that Tristana and Rumble had run off together, though by the Rotlight Valley mission he no longer dreamed of Tristana in his sleep. 142 147 213 370 436
• Cai Cai — Provides food that helped Teemo feel at home on the train. He also works with Alice on chores such as washing dishes. 143 149
• Saiban — Teemo is intimidated by Saiban's advanced technology and six-armed mechanical body, though he quietly supports Rumble while the group visits Saiban's laboratory. He later recognizes Saiban's distinctive style in Rumble's redesigned Tristy and credits Saiban with substantial help on the mech. 540 562 563
• Qin Si — Injured Rumble, then offered an Advanced Healing Potion that Teemo rejected as insufficient compensation. Teemo poisoned him with a dart and fired again after Qin Si treated the matter dismissively. 597

Story Role / Major Arcs

Arrival and Undead Town

Teemo arrives through the Yordle Hextech and joins Lu Xingyuan's train. During the Undead Town expedition, he fights undead with poison darts and mushrooms, draws enemy attention away from Lu Xingyuan, and learns not to let overconfidence endanger the team. 142 146 147

Guard duty and self-improvement

Teemo accepts responsibility for guarding the train when Lu Xingyuan explores dangerous platforms. He begins sustained physical training, using the Electric Chair and gene potions to overcome the limitations of his small body. 157 168 233

Long-range combatant

After receiving Dark Ember Judgment, Teemo discards his old blowgun and commits himself to becoming strong enough to wield the heavy sniper rifle properly. He later uses it to kill a merman chieftain and protect Lu Xingyuan from threats at range. 181 203

Overgrown Library

Teemo tests the newly transformed Thousand-Faced Divine Mechanism against the Thorn Vine Matriarch. He is wounded and deceived by hallucinogenic spores, but adapts after realizing his poison-based abilities are disadvantaged against plant monsters. He then assists Lu Xingyuan in severing the Matriarch's roots. 351 352 353

Second Brother and Rumble's defeat

When Rumble joins the train, Teemo fears being replaced and resents his rival's presence. Lu Xingyuan reassures him of his place as the second member of the family. Teemo then defeats Rumble in the Myriad Realms Arena in exactly three seconds, securing Rumble's acknowledgment as Second Brother. 370 372

Later team combat

Teemo becomes a reliable frontline and long-range fighter during later conflicts, using the Divine Mechanism's blade against fusion zombies and its Collapsing Mushrooms against monster hordes. He also helps maintain the train's defenses and cares for the Thorny Vine. 388 389 436

Holy Barrier and later expeditions

Teemo obtains the transformed Holy Barrier, adding group protection and specialized anti-dark support to the train's combat capabilities. He and Rumble later cooperate to collect Purple Jade Berries for Alice and help secure the Purple Jade Spirit Tree for continued cultivation. 387 442

Continuing rivalry with Rumble

Teemo remains Rumble's principal competitor within the train family. He is initially defeated while testing Tristy 2.0's freezing harpoon, but later recognizes Rumble's accomplishments while resolving to continue improving rather than rely on his prior strength. 428 479

Level Seven preparations and brotherhood

Teemo and Rumble test Lu Xingyuan's Adamantine Iron Bones with their strongest attacks, though Teemo's Blinding Dart cannot leave a mark on the defensive transformation. When an Iron Bone Ring is found, Teemo gives it to Rumble despite their argument over which of them is weaker, revealing his concern for his fellow Yordle. 525

Teemo also receives Zero-Type Propulsion Shoes from the Level 9 treasure chest rewards. In a subsequent race through the train, he finishes second behind Lu Xingyuan while Rumble places last. 526 527

Holy Judgment Domain and Cyber Goblin City

At Cyber Goblin City, the group obtains a third Holy Barrier, enabling Teemo to fuse all three barriers into the Level 7 Holy Judgment Domain. Delighted by its elaborate three-ring appearance, Teemo equips the new artifact despite Rumble's complaints that it will make him an obvious target. 534

Teemo and Rumble then eradicate Cyber Goblins across the platform. Teemo kills several with poisoned arrows and helps confirm that neither Yordle can activate Lu Xingyuan's Collector Hextech, establishing that they remain independent individuals rather than extensions of their boss. 536

Saiban's laboratory

While accompanying Lu Xingyuan and Alice to Saiban's laboratory, Teemo notices Rumble's frustration over Tristy's shortcomings and silently encourages him. Although unable to understand Saiban's advanced science, Teemo reacts with fear and awe to the inventor's six-armed mechanical body and immense facility. 540

Teemo later sees Rumble's redesigned Tristy and recognizes Saiban's style in its neon tubes and graffiti. He concludes that Saiban must have helped substantially with the transformation. 562 563

Confrontation with Qin Si

After Qin Si injures Rumble, Teemo knocks away the Advanced Healing Potion Qin Si offers as compensation. Despite Rumble's attempt to minimize his injury, Teemo insists on handling the confrontation. With Lu Xingyuan's support, he fires a poison dart that forces Qin Si to drink three antidotes, then fires again; Qin Si blocks the second shot with a defensive item. Lu Xingyuan later gives Teemo and Rumble Metamorphic Grade zombie serum. 597 601
