Could the general overview of the types of equipment used by the different armies of Runeterra be explained by any chance? Weapons, armor, and whatnot would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your reply!

Sion Riven Darius Wear a similar armor, except that the armors of Sion and Riven are not complete.

No idea why the horses and soldiers of Swain have 4 eyes.

That armor has been outdated for as long as the old lore was, the best examples of Noxian military is from Sions promo page and Bard Mountain promo video for visual references.

Hmm, well it varies from place to place.

Noxus and Demacia And Mount Targon will probably have their own blades, bows, etc Maybe even some magic. Standard medieval stuff.

In Bilgewater and Frejlord, it'll be similar to the first 2 but more crude, perhaps created by spare parts. Slightly more advanced in Bilgewater, with guns and cannons etc.

Bandle City is slightly archaic in its weaponry, with crude cannons and rockets.

Ionia is mostly a peaceful region. Any weapons they do have will be sleek and smooth stuff like swords and bows, with some magic of course.

Zaun and Piltover are the most advanced areas of Runeterra, you'd be likely to see advanced guns, lasers, etc here.

Shurima has sand. Lots and lots of sand.

Archaic? You call helicopters, rockets, machine-guns and cannons "Archaic weaponry", but bows and swords aren't?

Excuse me Sir, but the Bandle City Army in one of the strongest armies of Runeterra so far.

The Scouts of the Mothership are experts assassins and recon troops. Teemo uses a dart gun with poison, but you can see in official artworks of Riot, scouts using spears and other melee weapons. The Bandle City Expeditionary Force is the best aerial squadron in Runeterra. The standard weapon of the Megling Commandos shoots explosive 357 caliber cannonballs at the speed of a Gatling gun... A single shoot of that thing could kill any human without magical protection and everyone around him. (Unlike other Soldiers of the League like Garen Darius Pantheon Riven , Tristana is not a Commander, Captain, General or Super Special warrior... she is an average Gunner of Bandle)
