Wild Rift Patch 6.0a was released on Jan 15, 2025. This update included changes to 5 champions, with 2 buffs, 2 nerfs, 1 adjustment.
Akali
Talon
Ambessa
Viktor
Diana
Randuin's OmenAkali is struggling after the endurance changes so we buffed her Twilight Shroud, and increased her damage in the mid and late game. This will increase her ability to kite her enemies and enjoy more success in team fights.
Assassin's Mark
- •Base damage increased from 35 to 175 (based on level) to 37 to 205 (based on level).
- •AP ratio increased from 55% AP to 65%.
Twilight Shroud
- •Cooldown reduced from 18 seconds at all ranks to 18/17/16/15.
- •Bonus movement speed increased from 30/35/40/45% to 35/40/45/50%.
Talon is also struggling after the endurance changes so we buffed his damage to more appropriately match an assassin's burst.
Rake
- •Rebound AD ratio increased from 90% bonus AD to 100%.
Shadow Assault
- •Base damage increased from 80/120/160 to 90/130/170.

Ambessa's damage is overpowered compared to similar champions, especially in the early game. We nerfed her damage in those early phases and her jungle clear speed.
Drakehound's Step
- •Base damage reduced from 10 to 108 (based on level) to 5 to 61 (based on level).
- •Editor's Note: Patch notes error writes old value of 10 to 66 (based on level) instead of 10 to 108 (based on level).
- •Health ratio reduced from 3% target's maximum health to 2%.
Cunning Sweep
- •Damage against monsters reduced from 120% to 110%.
Sundering Slam

Public Execution
- •Cooldown increased from 70/60/50 seconds to 80/70/60.
- •Cooldown refund reduced from 50% to 35%.
Viktor is a mage who is capable of scaling strongly into the late game, but he is a bit too strong in the early game right now so we are nerfing his damage.
Siphon Power

- •Empowered base attack damage: 20/50/80/110+100% Attack Damage + 50% Ability Power → 20/45/70/95 + 100% Attack Damage + 45% Ability Power
