Wild Rift Patch 7.2

WRYunaraNewShare

Yunara joins Wild Rift.

WRDariusBuffShare

This axe-wielding general has long faced an awkward lane pattern: if he doesn't use abilities to clear waves, he gets pushed in; if he does, he struggles to stack his passive quickly. We're changing that so his laning experience feels smoother.

WRKai'SaBuffShare

Kai'Sa's ultimate is meant to be a versatile tool for both offense and defense, but it's often used primarily for its shield. We're increasing its landing area, giving Kai'Sa more freedom to reposition, kite, and outplay enemies after dashing to a target.

WRKaynBuffShare

Umbral Trespass is getting a quality-of-life update to improve its flexibility, making it a more reliable tool for both engaging and escaping.

WROriannaBuffShare

Orianna's ultimate has struggled to keep up with more mobile opponents, making it feel less reliable than intended. We're increasing its range to improve consistency and better match its intended power.

WRSyndraBuffShare

Syndra's third ability had a pre-empowered cast range that didn't properly match the range of her second ability, causing combos to fail unexpectedly. We've adjusted its range to make her combos more consistent.

WRVarusBuffShare

Varus' ultimate is getting a quality-of-life update. Blight stacks will now build up at a rate that better matches the root duration, making the effect clearer and more consistent for both Varus and his opponents.

WRFiddlesticksNerfShare

Fiddlesticks' Fear has been less consistent than intended. We've shortened the grace period on his first ability after he becomes visible and fixed an issue that could cause enemies to be Feared unexpectedly, making the effect more predictable for both Fiddlesticks and his opponents.

WRNorraNerfShare

Norra's second ability has been frustrating to play against, leaving opponents with little room to react after she returns from another dimension. We're adding limits to the ability to create more opportunities to dodge her follow-up attacks.

WRZedNerfShare

With Stasis Enchant no longer universally available, Zed has much more freedom to find picks. To keep that in check, we're making it riskier for him to engage by reducing how safely he can return with his ultimate.

WRLee SinChangeShare

Lee Sin's assassin builds have been too effective against squishier targets. We're shifting his power away from burst damage and toward a more fighter-oriented playstyle, while keeping a close eye on his overall performance.

WRBanshee's VeilNewShare

We've folded Crown of the Shattered Queen's effect into Banshee's Veil to simplify the item system and better define each item's role. Banshee's Veil is now the go-to defensive option against burst mages, combining a spell shield with Magic Resist for greater survivability in teamfights.

WRBlackfire TorchNewShare

We're positioning Blackfire Torch as a premier first item for champions who rely on frequent spellcasting. It offers high Ability Haste while scaling its Ability Power over the course of a fight, making it an excellent choice for burn-focused champions like Brand and Lillia.

WRBloodletter's CurseNewShare

Bloodletter's Curse is the premier Magic Penetration item for burn-focused champions. Its Magic Resist shred stacks quickly through burn effects, amplifying both your damage and your team's.

WRCryptbloomNewShare

Cryptbloom offers percent Magic Penetration alongside Ability Haste, making it a strong choice when enemies aren't heavily stacking Magic Resist. Its supportive passive also adds extra value for teamfights.

WRDusk and DawnNewShare

Dusk and Dawn gives AP fighters an item that better supports their intended playstyle. With double-trigger on-hit damage and stats tailored for extended fights, it rewards weaving basic attacks between abilities while providing the sustained combat power this subclass has been missing.

WRGargoyle StoneplateNewShare

Provides tanks with explosive defensive power.

WRHextech RocketbeltNewShare

Hextech Rocketbelt fits mages that want to play aggressively and force forward.

WRLocket of the Iron SolariNewShare

Locket of the Iron Solari provides a burst AoE shield for the team and leans toward tank-oriented stats.

WRMikael's BlessingNewShare

Mikael's Blessing gives supports a way to protect allies from crowd control.

WRQuicksilver SashNewShare

Quicksilver Sash and Mercurial Scimitar give marksmen and some fighters access to crowd control cleansing.

WRShurelya's BattlesongNewShare

Shurelya's Battlesong gives the team a burst of AoE Movement Speed.

WRVerdant BarrierNewShare

As a component of Banshee's Veil, we want you to access the benefit of a spell shield earlier.

WRVoid StaffNewShare

Void Staff remains the premier late-game Magic Penetration item for mages. It's the go-to choice for breaking through high Magic Resist and maximizing your damage against tankier targets.

WRGuardian AngelBuffShare

With defensive Enchantments removed for many classes, we're expanding defensive item options. Guardian Angel has long been too expensive and inefficient to justify its cost, so we're giving it a broad buff to make it a more appealing choice for fighters and marksmen.

WRLiandry's TormentBuffShare

We've updated Liandry's Torment to be a stronger option throughout the game instead of a purely late-game purchase. Its passive has been adjusted to provide more consistent value, making it a solid early pickup for sustained damage.

WRRabadon's DeathcapBuffShare

As part of the mage item update, we've adjusted Rabadon's Deathcap's Ability Power and changed its amplification to a fixed value, making its late-game power more consistent and easier to balance.

WRRedemptionBuffShare

Redemption has struggled to find a clear home and often lacked satisfying feedback, so we're bringing back the older version. It provides teams with a burst AoE heal and leans toward enchanter-style stats.

WRSterak's GageBuffShare

Lifeline items are receiving a broad round of adjustments so their cooldowns better match the pace of combat.

WRCosmic DriveNerfShare

We're updating Cosmic Drive to better support a wider range of mages. While it will still offer the highest Movement Speed among mage items, we're trading some raw speed for longer-lasting mobility and added Health, making it a stronger option for kiting and sustained-damage playstyles.

WRTear Of The GoddessNerfShare

We believe Tear of the Goddess should be available as a starting item. For champions that need to stack it, starting the game with Sapphire Crystal may not provide the stats they need, while a 900-gold Tear of the Goddess may not be directly purchasable on the first recall. We are therefore lowering its price and slightly reducing its stacking speed.

WRYordle TrapNerfShare

The gold provided by the trap was simply too high. Tank supports with a lead could snowball far too quickly and become nearly unkillable, so this is also part of our broader effort to pull back item power.

WRAwakened SoulstealerRemovedShare

We're removing Awakened Soulstealer as part of the mage item update. Its combination of Magic Penetration, Ability Haste, and a high-impact passive gave burst mages too many strengths in a single item, making it a poor fit for the new mage item ecosystem.

WRBandle FantasyRemovedShare

Bandle Fantasy does not have a clear role. Its effect overlaps with Luden's Echo, it has low usage, and it does not occupy a defined niche in the new mage item ecosystem, so we decided to remove it.

WRCrown Of The Shattered QueenRemovedShare

We're removing Crown of the Shattered Queen and folding its effect into Banshee's Veil. This simplifies the mage item system while giving Banshee's Veil a clearer defensive identity.

WRProphet's PendantRemovedShare

We believe flat penetration is too valuable in the early game to be available on a mid-tier item, so we are removing it. In its place, Hextech Alternator can serve as the burst-oriented mid-tier option.

WRPsychic ProjectorRemovedShare

We're removing Psychic Projector as part of the mage item update. It provided too much durability by combining high Armor and Magic Resist in a single item. Mage fighters can now turn to Riftmaker for sustained combat, while Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil serve as the dedicated Armor and Magic Resist defensive options.

WRArchangel's StaffChangeShare

We're smoothing out Archangel's Staff's power curve. It now offers stronger baseline stats as a Legendary item while reducing some of its fully stacked power, with slightly slower stacking to create more consistent scaling throughout the game.

WRGaleforceChangeShare

Galeforce gives crit-based marksmen both offensive and defensive flexibility.

WRGoredrinkerChangeShare

Goredrinker will give fighters stronger sustain while making it harder for tanks to abuse.

WRInfinity OrbChangeShare

Infinity Orb is doubling down on its role as a burst item. We're making its execute effect even more rewarding for burst mages and assassins, while removing its Movement Speed and takedown area damage to reduce its overall utility.

WRLuden's EchoChangeShare

We want Luden's Echo to offer more early-game strength for burst mages, and we have also reworked its complex charge mechanic.

WRRiftmakerChangeShare

We're sharpening Riftmaker's identity as an AP fighter item. It now offers stronger sustained-fight power through extended combat, with Omnivamp and damage amplification that also synergize well with true damage champions like Gwen.

WRRod Of AgesChangeShare

We've updated Rod of Ages to better fulfill its role as a scaling Mana item. It now provides more Mana while trading some Ability Power and Health, making it a stronger choice for traditional mages and Mana-hungry champions like Ryze and Kassadin.

WRSeeker's ArmguardChangeShare

Seeker's Armguard and Zhonya's Hourglass give mages tools to withstand burst damage.

WRStormsurgeChangeShare

Stormsurge is now a stronger early-to-mid-game option for burst mages. It provides flat Magic Penetration while enhancing roaming potential and rewarding quick eliminations through its Squall passive.

WRStridebreakerChangeShare

We want Stridebreaker to serve as a close-range engage tool built specifically for juggernauts.
