Wild Rift Patch 6.1 Goes Cosmic in Mid-April

by Lillian Apr 03,2025

Get ready for a stellar update with **LoL: Wild Rift Patch 6.1: Ascending Stars**, launching later this month on April 16th. This cosmic-themed patch will revolutionize your gaming experience from the menus to the battlefield, as you explore the thrilling Dual Nova galaxy, encompassing the Challenger’s Star and Adventure’s Star.

Three new champions are set to shake up the Wild Rift meta with their unique abilities. **Ryze, the Rune Mage**, brings powerful AoE damage and the strategic advantage of teleporting teammates across the map with his ultimate, Realm Warp. **Nocturne, the Eternal Nightmare**, thrives in chaos, using Paranoia to envelop enemies in darkness, while **Zilean, the Chronokeeper**, manipulates time itself, slowing down foes and reviving allies with Chronoshift.

Several champions are also receiving significant reworks. **Garen** will become even more durable with his Courage scaling over time, and his Judgment will now shred enemy armor. **Ambessa** transitions from the jungle to the Baron lane with enhanced damage and life steal capabilities. Other champions like **Diana, Fiora, Jax, Sona, and Kalista** will see smaller but impactful adjustments.

Beyond champion updates, the patch introduces a captivating **Bandle-inspired Rift** for non-Ranked modes, featuring Enchanted Gifts that spawn through portals during the laning phase. Mages will benefit from new item updates, including the **Bandle Fantasy item** which adds extra burst damage, **Hextech GLP800** that slows enemies with frost bombs, and **Malignance** which enhances ultimate abilities, making spellcasters more formidable than ever.

Ranked mode is also evolving with the start of a new season alongside the launch of the Challenger’s Star. Expect updates to the Ranked store and an easier path to earn seasonal rewards. Midway through the patch, the **Adventure’s Star** unlocks, introducing **AAAARAM**, a fresh twist on ARAM with added augments and stunning galactic visuals.

The **Wild Pass** brings two breathtaking skins: **Wondertown Twisted Fate** and **Battlecast Nasus**. Twisted Fate's new look introduces an entirely new skinline, adding even more flair to your collection.
