Wild Rift Patch 6.1 Goes Cosmic in Mid-April

Get ready for a stellar update with LoL: Wild Rift Patch 6.1: Ascending Stars, set to launch later this month. This cosmic overhaul will transform everything from the menus to the battlefield, taking you on an adventure through the Dual Nova galaxy, home to the Challenger's Star and Adventure's Star.

Three new champions are joining the fight in Wild Rift's latest update, each bringing unique and game-changing abilities. First up is Ryze, the Rune Mage, who delivers immense AoE damage and can teleport teammates across the map with his Realm Warp ability. Next, Nocturne, the Eternal Nightmare, thrives on chaos, using Paranoia to plunge enemies into total darkness. Finally, Zilean, the Chronokeeper, controls time, slowing down enemies and even reviving allies with Chronoshift.

Several champions are also receiving significant reworks. Garen's Courage now scales over time, making him even tankier, while his Judgment ability will shred enemy armor. Ambessa is shifting from the jungle to the Baron lane, with tweaks to her damage and life steal. Smaller adjustments are also coming for Diana, Fiora, Jax, Sona, and Kalista.

Outside of champion changes, a fresh Bandle-inspired Rift is shaking things up in non-Ranked modes, complete with Enchanted Gifts that appear through portals during the laning phase. Mages will also benefit from long-awaited item updates. The new Bandle Fantasy item adds 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. A new season begins alongside the launch of the Challenger's Star, bringing updates to the Ranked store and an easier way to earn seasonal rewards. Midway through the patch, the Adventure's Star unlocks, featuring AAAARAM, a fresh take on ARAM with added augments and galactic visuals. The Wild Pass will introduce two stunning skins: Wondertown Twisted Fate and Battlecast Nasus, with Twisted Fate's look launching an entirely new skinline.

LoL: Wild Rift's version 6.1 patch will release on April 16th. For more information, be sure to visit the official website.
