Get ready for a cosmic adventure with **LoL: Wild Rift Patch 6.1: Ascending Stars**, set to launch on April 16th. This update brings a stellar transformation, redefining everything from the menus to the battlefield as you explore the Dual Nova galaxy, featuring the Challenger’s Star and Adventure’s Star.
Three new champions are stepping into the arena, each with game-changing abilities that will alter the dynamics of your matches. Ryze, the Rune Mage, unleashes massive AoE damage and can teleport teammates across the map with Realm Warp. Nocturne, the Eternal Nightmare, thrives on chaos, using Paranoia to plunge enemies into total darkness. And Zilean, the Chronokeeper, manipulates time, slowing down enemies and even reviving allies with Chronoshift.
Several champions are also getting revamped. Garen's Courage now scales over time, making him even more formidable, while his Judgment ability will now shred enemy armor. Ambessa transitions from the jungle to the Baron lane with adjustments to her damage and life steal. Diana, Fiora, Jax, Sona, and Kalista will also see minor tweaks to enhance their gameplay.
Beyond champion updates, a new Bandle-inspired Rift is introducing exciting changes in non-Ranked modes, featuring Enchanted Gifts that appear through portals during the laning phase. Mages are in for a treat with updated items like the new Bandle Fantasy item that adds extra burst damage, Hextech GLP800 that slows enemies with frost bombs, and Malignance that enhances ultimate abilities, making spellcasters even more formidable.
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 easier ways to earn seasonal rewards. Midway through the patch, the Adventure’s Star unlocks, introducing AAAARAM, a fresh take on ARAM with added augments and stunning galactic visuals.
The Wild Pass introduces two stunning skins: Wondertown Twisted Fate and Battlecast Nasus, with Twisted Fate’s look unveiling an entirely new skinline. For a deeper dive into champion rankings, check out our *Wild Rift tier list*.
