Caw caw! Swain’s rework is making its arrival, along with some balance updates.
Game Updates
Wild Rift Game Design Team

Welcome to Patch 6.2h! This patch we have some adjustments to some champions and items, as well as Swain’s rework! Let’s dive in.

Reminder: content will be released throughout the patch.

CHAMPION CHANGES

This patch we’re buffing Gwen, Shyvana, and Tristana to help them cut through their weaker early games and thread more impact into the late game. On the other hand, we also want Hecarim to gallop into those dives and teamfights, so we’re giving him some help. Additionally, we’re making some adjustments to Ezreal and Ryze, while also helping Seraphine hit a higher note with more balanced flexibility. And last but not least, Blitzcrank is getting some adjustments so some of the shock from his engages will be, well…less shocking.

SWAIN

Swain’s ultimate has always lacked a little extra oomf, so we’ve decided to let him contribute more in extended fights beyond simply tanking damage. At the same time, we’ve reworked parts of how his ability feels and numbers to ensure his power remains consistent across different builds, while still leaving room for counterplay. Please note that Swain’s update will not be live until September 25, 00:01 UTC.
