SORAKA

The queen of bananas has been performing well in some ranks, but is still struggling in higher levels of play. To help Soraka players go toe to toe with some of the other supports, we’re giving her heals a little extra oomf.

TRYNDAMERE

The Barbarian King hasn’t made an appearance in the Baron Lane for a while now. We’re giving him a few buffs to keep him from being strong-armed by his opponents and falling behind in the earlier and later stages of the game.

WARWICK

Recently, Warwick has been spending his time lurking in the jungle, waiting for his prey to come to him, rather than trying to hunt them down. So, we’re making his fangs a little sharper so that he can have an easier time facing his foes head on outside of the jungle.

Wild Rift GAMEPLAY CHANGES

ITEMS

[NEW] MANTLE OF THE TWELFTH HOUR

Sometimes, committing with your team and dying for the cause is the right thing to do as a tank. However, we think there’s some room to add a tank item that makes it a bit easier to maneuver and escape from tricky low-health situations. Mantle of the Twelfth Hour grants a burst of healing, movement speed, and slow resistance when your health gets low to give tanks a fighting chance at escaping or running down one more kill.

Build path:

• • • Chain Vest (900g) + Negatron Cloak (900g) + 1100g
      • Total cost: 2900g

Stats:

• • • Armor: 50
    • Magic resistance: 50

Passive:

• • • Lifeline: If taking damage that would lower maximum health below 35%, will heal 200 + 50% of health over 3 seconds. Also gain 50% of slow, slow resistance and 30 movement speed ​​for 3 seconds. (90 seconds cooldown)

[NEW] AMARANTH TWINGUARD

Currently, tanks that are able to find a lead in their games don’t really have the options in the shop to help them try to make a big impact on the game. Mages are able to pick up items like Rabadon’s Deathcap or Void Staff and Marksmen are able to buy Infinity Edge or Lord Dominik’s Regards. Amaranth Twinguard is a capstone item for tanks that allows them to multiply their effectiveness during combat as long as they can stick it out long enough to get the benefits of Endurance.

Build path:

• • • Chain Vest (900g) + Negatron Cloak (900g) + 1400g
      • Total cost: 3200g

Stats:

• • • Armor: 55
    • Magic Resistance: 55

Passive:

• • • Endurance: While in combat with enemy champions, gain a stack of Endurance each second. When you reach 5 stacks of Endurance, gain size, 20% tenacity, and increase your armor and magic resistance by 30% until you leave combat with champions.

[NEW] SHIMMERING SPARK

Want to clear the jungle faster when playing a tank? If so, Shimmering Spark is the right item for you! It will increase your clear speed and grant you some tankiness! Since Shimmering Spark can be combined with Sunfire Aegis or paired with Searing Crown, it will also grant you a lot of flexibility in your build path.

Build Path:

• • • Total cost: 500g

Stats:

• • • Health: 50

Passive:

• • • Immolate: Deal 5 – 10 magic damage to nearby enemies per second.

BAMI’S CINDER

Since we’re adding a new spark to the item shop, Bami’s Cinder is growing even hotter. We’re making it deal more damage, and in return increasing its price.

Build path:

• • • Shimmering Spark (500g) + Ruby Crystal (500g) + 300g
      • Total cost: 1300g

Price:

• • • 1100g → 1300g

Passive:

• • • Magic damage per second: 5 – 10 → 10 – 20

SUNFIRE AEGIS

Currently, Sunfire Aegis is the only choice for tanks that want to opt into more aggressive damage against champions. However, it also serves as the only tank item that offers meaningful wave- and jungle-clearing power, which puts it in a space where it’s serving two different niches at the same time. This has always made it hard for it to be good at either thing, which is why we gave it a sibling this patch! So if you want to stick to farming it up, Sunfire should be your pick and it’s even better than before.

Build Path:

• • • Bami’s Cinder (1300g) + Kindlegem (1000g) + 700g
      • Total cost: 3000g

Price:

• • • Total gold unchanged

Passive:

• • • Each stack increases sacrifice damage by 8% → 7%
    • The effect of stacking 6 layers: Basic attack causes sacrifice damage → Basic attack causes 50% sacrifice damage
    • Damage factor to jungle monsters: 115% → 130%
    • Damage factor to minions: 115% → 175 – 250%

SEARING CROWN

As we mentioned, this patch we’re giving Sunfire a sibling, Searing Crown! If you want to burn your foes to a crisp and focus on dealing damage to other champions, rather than minions, Searing Crown should be your new go-to!

Build path:

• • • Bami’s Cinder (1300g) + Chain Vest (900g) + 500g
      • Total cost: 2700g

Stats:

• • • Health: 300
    • Armor: 50

Passive:

• • • Fiery Touch: When the basic attack or skill deals damage, it burns the target for 3 seconds, causing magic damage equal to 1.6% of the target’s maximum HP per second (when used by a ranged Champion, the damage is reduced to 0.8%).
      • Deals 150% damage to minions and monsters. Deals up to 125 damage to Jungle monsters.

BRAMBLE VEST

The growth rate of Bramble Vest is a bit too high. We have balanced its value in the early and late stages, making it more in line with the positioning of a second-level item, and encouraging it to upgrade to Thornmail as soon as possible.

• • • Total cost: 3000g → 2700g
    • Stats: 200 Health → 100 Health
    • Passive Thorns damage: 3 + 8% Bonus armor → 4 + 6% Bonus armor

THORNMAIL

As a targeted Grievous Wounds item, the Thornmail is too expensive. We lowered its price, and made its anti-injury ability more universal, so that tanks don’t need to worry about too many other factors when choosing it as a means of Grievous Wounds.

• • • Total cost: 3000g → 2700g
    • Stats: 200 Health → 100 Health
    • Passive Thorns damage: 25 + 10% Bonus armor → 20 + 1% Bonus health + 6% Bonus armor

FORCE OF NATURE

We’re making a small adjustment to Force of Nature this patch so that tanks can absorb more magic damage during continuous teamfights.

• • • [REMOVED] Current Absorb passive.
    • [NEW] Passive: When receiving skill damage, you can get a 7-second firmness layer, which can be stacked up to 6 times; dealing damage to champions can refresh the duration of the layer. At 6 stacks, gain 10% movement speed and reduce all magic damage taken by 25%.

ABYSSAL MASK

We’re removing the generic magic damage amplification passive on Abyssal Mask in favor of a new passive that will allow it to store a percentage of magic damage taken, which can then be released as an explosion upon enemies when you immobilize a target. Boom!

• • • [REMOVED] Damage passive
    • [NEW] Passive: When you take magic damage, gain 20% of the damage taken as remaining charges for 5 seconds. When you root an enemy Champion, consume your remaining charges to cause a 400 yard explosion near the first rooted target, dealing magic damage which is equal to the remaining charge.

RELIC SHIELD/TARGON’S BUCKLER

We’re making a few adjustments to Relic Shield to lend supports a hand. We know right now it can sometimes be hard to get an execute off on a minion, especially when the enemy marksmen keeps poking you, so we’re adjusting the threshold for when a minion is executed. We’re also making a few other quality of life updates for the item.

Passive:

• • • Melee/Range execution minion bloodline: 50%/30% → 75%/75%
    • [REMOVED] Destroy minions to provide 120% gold for yourself, and 100% gold for the nearest allied champion.
    • [NEW] Destroy minions to provide kill gold to the nearest ally champion, you get 50% kill gold, and get an extra 75 gold (included in the mission).
    • [NEW] When charged and with teammates around, when the minion’s health reaches the execution threshold line, the minion’s health bar will turn yellow to remind players.
    • Charge cooldown: 20s → 30s

SPECTRAL SICKLE/HARROWING CRESCENT

Once the mid game hits, it can be hard to get off charges, so we’re making some adjustments so Spectral Sickle feels good, even after the earlier stages of the game.

• • • Charge cooldown: 10s → 15s
    • Gold: 25g → 40g

Wild Rift SYSTEM CHANGES

INHIBITOR RESPAWN ADJUSTMENTS

We’ve made some adjustments to inhibitors respawning and the countdown visual effects. Inhibitors will now no longer respawn after the 19 minute mark.

JUNGLE MONSTER SPAWN ADJUSTMENTS

We realized that the time in which each jungle monster is able to be attacked can have a difference of up to 2 seconds. If players choose a monster that is slow to spawn, then they can lose their early jungle farming advantage. So, we’re making some adjustments to how the spawns work.

• • • Shortened the difference between when jungle monsters first spawn and is able to be attacked.
