Welcome to Patch 6.3, Gilded Glory. We’re pouncing into this update ready to watch Worlds 2025 unfold and celebrate our 5th Anniversary! We’re so excited to celebrate 5 years together with you all. Thank you for playing and supporting Wild Rift and always sharing your feedback, hype clips, fanart, and more with us. You make the Rift what it is today.

NEW CHAMPIONS

NIDALEE, THE BESTIAL HUNTRESS

Raised in the deepest wilderness, Nidalee is a master tracker who can shapeshift into a ferocious pakaa jungle cat at will. Neither wholly woman nor beast, she viciously defends her territory from any and all trespassers, with carefully placed traps and deft spear throws. She cripples her quarry before pouncing on them in feline form—the lucky few who survive tell tales of a wild woman with razor-sharp instincts, and even sharper claws...

Nidalee will be released on October 23 at 00:01 UTC.

The Apex Pass will officially begin on October 25, 2025, at 00:01 UTC, featuring the brand-new skin, Inspiring Jarvan IV. This is the 2025 World Championship exclusive skin. Please note, this skin will not return for at least a year after its initial release. It will be priced at 500 Orange Gemstones.

Please note: After the season ends, any unused “Apex Medallions” will be automatically reclaimed and converted 1:1 into Blue Motes.

Collected Legends

A new season of the Collected Legends is here with exclusive Rewards!

Multiple Omega Squad Veigar exclusive chromas and limited Companion evolve items are now available.
The World Championship Redeem Store is open for a limited time!
Legendary Skin Selection Chests, exclusive chromas, and other high-value items will be available for a limited time only! From October 25, 2025, until the end of the season.
We’ve also added one-click reward claims and other optimizations, so claiming your rewards are easier than ever

There's also a new Mini Pass Return Track:

Skins Pengu Cosplay Tristana and Dark Star Malphite, along with their related items, will soon be removed from the exchange store, redeem them while you can! They may return periodically in the future.

New Player Login - Quick Start

We’ve upgraded the account system! New players can now start playing immediately without registration. Existing players’ account data will remain unaffected and can log in as usual.

Main Mode Champion score entrance

Added a champions Follow feature. Players can follow their favorite champions, making the main mode interface display only those selected champions.

Champion Score Protection

In Ranked or Legendary Ranked, if a Champion’s score has reached the highest value for the current rank, you will now receive one Champion Score Protection.
During this protection, losses will not deduct Champion Score.

New “Random Skin” Feature

During champion select, if a champion has two or more skins, you can now enable Random Skin Mode. Once activated, all owned skins for that champion will rotate randomly in preview, and one random skin will be selected for the match. There will even be a chance to trigger a special Easter egg!

Floating Damage Text System

We’ve noticed that current floating combat text does not clearly reflect actual damage impact, affecting your ability to judge key moments. To improve clarity, we’re making the following adjustments:

Dynamic Size Adjustment: Floating text now scales dynamically with damage value and target level. High damage against low-level targets will appear more prominently.
New Damage Type Icon: A new “Bonus Ability Damage” icon has been added. The “Critical” icon now appears only for crits, while extra ability damage uses its own symbol.
Smite Bonus Damage now merges correctly in floating text.

Overall, we hope these improvements will provide more clarity and make it easier for you to reach key combat information during fights.

New “New Loadout” Tag Feature

During the Ban/Pick phase, when a “Loadout Updated” message appears, you will now see a “New Loadout” tag in the Popular Loadout tab so you can quickly identify and apply the latest recommended setups.

New “One-Click Replacement” Feature in Loadout

Detects if Support roles are missing support items and recommends suitable builds.
Detects if Jungle roles are missing Smite and suggests jungle builds.
Recommends switching between Armor Boots and Magic Resistance Boots depending on enemy team comp you’re up against.
