LoL: Wild Rift Patch 6.1: Ascending Stars is set to launch on April 16th, promising a cosmic overhaul that will transform everything from the menus to the battlefield. This update introduces the Dual Nova galaxy, featuring the Challenger’s Star and Adventure’s Star, setting the stage for an epic adventure.
Three new champions are joining the fray, each bringing unique game-changing abilities to Wild Rift. Ryze, the Rune Mage, offers immense AoE damage and can teleport teammates across the map with his Realm Warp ability. Nocturne, the Eternal Nightmare, thrives on chaos, using Paranoia to plunge enemies into total darkness. Lastly, Zilean, the Chronokeeper, manipulates time, slowing down enemies and even reviving allies with Chronoshift.
Several champions are also receiving significant reworks. Garen's Courage will now scale over time, enhancing his tankiness, while his Judgment ability will shred enemy armor more effectively. Ambessa transitions from the jungle to the Baron lane, with adjustments to her damage and life steal. Smaller tweaks are planned for Diana, Fiora, Jax, Sona, and Kalista, ensuring a fresh gameplay experience for all players.
Beyond champion updates, a new Bandle-inspired Rift will shake up non-Ranked modes, featuring Enchanted Gifts that appear through portals during the laning phase. Mages are in for a treat with new item updates. The Bandle Fantasy item introduces extra burst damage, Hextech GLP800 slows enemies with frost bombs, and Malignance enhances ultimate abilities, making spellcasters even more formidable.
Ranked mode is also evolving with the launch of the Challenger’s Star, marking the beginning of a new season. This update brings changes to the Ranked store and introduces an easier way to earn seasonal rewards. Midway through the patch, the Adventure’s Star unlocks, introducing AAAARAM—a fresh take on ARAM with added augments and galactic visuals.
The Wild Pass will feature two stunning skins: Wondertown Twisted Fate and Battlecast Nasus. Twisted Fate’s new look introduces an entirely new skinline, adding to the excitement of this patch.
