LoL: Wild Rift Patch 6.1: Ascending Stars is gearing up for a stellar launch later this month, promising a cosmic transformation that will revamp everything from the menus to the battlefield. Players will embark on a new journey through the Dual Nova galaxy, featuring the Challenger’s Star and Adventure’s Star.
This update introduces three new champions to the roster, each bringing unique abilities that can turn the tide of battle. Ryze, the Rune Mage, offers immense area-of-effect damage and the ability to teleport teammates across the map with his Realm Warp. Nocturne, the Eternal Nightmare, excels in creating chaos with his Paranoia, which plunges enemies into darkness. Zilean, the Chronokeeper, manipulates time to slow foes and revive allies with his Chronoshift.
Several champions are also set for reworks. Garen's Courage now scales over time, enhancing his tankiness, while his Judgment ability will now shred enemy armor. Ambessa is transitioning from the jungle to the Baron lane, with adjustments to her damage and life steal. Additionally, minor tweaks are planned for Diana, Fiora, Jax, Sona, and Kalista.
Beyond champion updates, a new Bandle-inspired Rift is set to shake up non-Ranked modes, introducing Enchanted Gifts that appear via portals during the laning phase. Mages will benefit from long-awaited item updates, including the new Bandle Fantasy item for extra burst damage, Hextech GLP800 for slowing enemies with frost bombs, and Malignance to enhance ultimate abilities.
Ranked mode is also getting an overhaul. With the launch of the Challenger’s Star, a new season begins, bringing updates to the Ranked store and an easier way to earn seasonal rewards. Midway through the patch, the Adventure’s Star will unlock, introducing AAAARAM—a fresh spin on ARAM with added augments and galactic visuals. The Wild Pass will feature two stunning skins, Wondertown Twisted Fate and Battlecast Nasus, with Twisted Fate’s new look introducing a completely new skinline.
LoL: Wild Rift’s version 6.1 patch is scheduled for release on April 16th. For more details, be sure to visit the official website.
