Author:Kristen Update:May 01,2025

Get ready for a cosmic transformation with the launch of LoL: Wild Rift Patch 6.1: Ascending Stars, set to hit the scene later this month. This update promises to take you on an epic journey through the Dual Nova galaxy, featuring the Challenger’s Star and Adventure’s Star. Expect a complete overhaul from the menus to the battlefield, ensuring an immersive gaming experience.

Three new champions are set to shake up the game with their unique abilities. Ryze, the Rune Mage, unleashes massive Area of Effect (AoE) damage and can teleport teammates across the map using Realm Warp. Nocturne, the Eternal Nightmare, thrives in chaos, using Paranoia to plunge enemies into darkness. Lastly, Zilean, the Chronokeeper, controls time, slowing enemies and reviving allies with Chronoshift.

Several champions are also receiving significant 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. Smaller tweaks are also coming for Diana, Fiora, Jax, Sona, and Kalista, aiming to balance their gameplay.

Beyond champion updates, a new Bandle-inspired Rift will add excitement to non-Ranked modes, featuring Enchanted Gifts that appear through portals during the laning phase. Mages will benefit from long-awaited item updates, including the new Bandle Fantasy item that adds extra burst damage, Hextech GLP800 that slows enemies with frost bombs, and Malignance, which enhances ultimate abilities, making spellcasters even more formidable.

Ranked mode is also getting a fresh start with the new season beginning alongside the launch of the Challenger’s Star. Expect 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 thrilling twist on ARAM with added augments and stunning galactic visuals.

The Wild Pass is not to be missed, featuring two breathtaking skins: Wondertown Twisted Fate and Battlecast Nasus. Twisted Fate's new skin introduces an entirely new skinline, adding to the excitement.

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