In the upcoming update for League of Legends: Wild Rift, patch 4.0, Riot Games will release two new champions: Zoe and Zeri. The Zeri and Zoe release in Wild Rift patch 4.0 is expected to take place on January 12. In addition to these new champions, the update will include respawning inhibitors and collapsing turrets in later stages of the game.
What We Know So Far on Wild Rift Zoe and Zeri (Patch 4.0)
Zeri hails from the city of Zaun and is known for her love of inventing and tinkering with machinery. She harnesses the power of electricity magic to charge herself and her custom-crafted gun, using her abilities to protect and aid those around her.
In Wild Rift, Zeri is expected to play as a short-ranged, high-skill cap ADC. While her ability descriptions have yet to be officially confirmed, it is speculated that players should prioritize upgrading Burst Fire > Spark Surge > Ultrashock Laser.
Regarding item builds and runes, it isn’t easy to make concrete recommendations as the champion has not yet been released. However, based on trends for similar champions, some options to consider include Stormrazor, Infinity Edge, Runaan’s Hurricane, Blade of the Ruined King, Lord Dominik’s Regard, and Zhonya’s Enchant.
On the other hand, Zoe, the Aspect of Twilight, is a new champion joining the League of Legends: Wild Rift roster. Once an ordinary girl deemed too mischievous by her teachers, she was chosen by The Aspect of Twilight to merge with him, granting her the power to jump between dimensions. Despite her godlike abilities, her curious and innocent nature remains unchanged.
Zoe is expected to play as a teleporting mage who utilizes skill shots to burst down enemies. She will likely prioritize building straight ability power and magic penetration to increase her burst damage potential. Some recommended item builds for her include Luden’s Echo, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Void Staff, Zhonya’s Enchant, Infinity Orb, and Morellonomicon.
When it comes to runes, it is suggested to focus on burst damage and runes that will help optimize Zoe’s low defensive stats to prevent her from being easily taken down. Some options include Electrocute or Summoner Aery, Sudden Impact, Nullifying Orb, and Nimbus Cloak.
As for ability upgrades, the priority is expected to be Paddle Star > Sleepy Trouble Bubble > Spell Thief. However, it is worth noting that these recommendations may change once the champion is officially released.
