Patch 6.2: Powers Unbound hits Wild Rift on July 17, packed with new champions, a fresh progression system, and revamped gameplay.
Awaken Your Soulforce
Wild Rift is getting mystical with the new Soulforce Awakening theme. Players collect Soulforce Energy through regular play, upgrading their Soulforce Box to unlock rewards like Legends Card Packs, ores, trial cards, and exclusive chromas for Aurora, the game’s latest champion.
Meet the New Faces
- Aurora, the Witch Between Worlds: A stylish AP assassin who moves between realms, perfect for skill-focused mages.
- Bard, the Wandering Caretaker: An enigmatic support who manipulates battlefields with Magical Journey and Tempered Fate.
- Vel’Koz, the Eye of the Void: A long-range mage who devastates enemies with lethal plasma attacks.
Champion and Item Reworks
Galio and Swain get gameplay tweaks to sharpen their identities. Galio’s shield better reflects his magic-resistant tank role, while Swain’s ultimate clearly emphasizes his monstrous transformation. ADCs like Varus, Ashe, Zeri, Vayne, and Miss Fortune also receive targeted buffs and adjustments.
On the item front:
- Soul Transfer: A new item creating an attack-speed clone on critical hits.
- Classic items like Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge, and Essence Reaver have clearer, more distinct effects.
- Enchantments now offer stronger, role-specific impacts.
Gameplay Adjustments and Player Behavior Updates
The Bandle Rift gets exciting changes:
- Enchanted Piggy: Defeat this roaming monster in Legendary Queue matches to unleash Piglets that assault enemy towers.
- Updated brush layouts around Dragon pit for better strategic gameplay.
- Earlier Baron spawns and faster turret plating falls improve match pacing.
A revamped Player Behavior System rewards good conduct and restricts negative players. Plus, the popular Galio’s Aegis feature returns permanently, rewarding excellent individual performance, even in defeat.
Game Modes Get a Refresh
- Ultimate Spellbook returns with new ultimates and pre-game ability picks.
- AAA ARAM gets whimsical visuals, spellbook abilities, and over 60 new cards for varied gameplay.
