FULL PATCH NOTES
Wild Rift Patch Notes 4.0 (leagueoflegends.com)
NEW CHAMPIONS
ZOE, THE ASPECT OF TWILIGHT
As the embodiment of mischief, imagination, and change, Zoe acts as the cosmic messenger of Targon, heralding major events that reshape worlds. Her mere presence warps the arcane mathematics governing realities, sometimes causing cataclysms without conscious effort or malice. This perhaps explains the breezy nonchalance with which Zoe approaches her duties, giving her plenty of time to focus on playing games, tricking mortals, or otherwise amusing herself. An encounter with Zoe can be joyous and life affirming, but it is always more than it appears and often extremely dangerous.
Zoe will be released on January 12 at 00:01 UTC.
WILD PASS
It’ll be a grave mistake if you try to step up to this villain, unless you’re quick on the draw! Heist your way through this Wild Pass and Super Villain Graves will be all yours! Of course you’ll also be able to earn plenty of other goodies along the way! And if you’re still itching for more, you can earn Ascended Super Villain Graves and more in the Bonus Rewards Shop.
Wild Pass will be available on January 12 at 00:01 UTC.
RANKED SEASON 8
It’s time to wave goodbye to Ranked S7 and dive into Ranked S8! Glorious Crimson Nami will be making a splash in this season’s Season Rewards Tab! You’ll also be able to purchase her Weapon Augment Upgrade and other goodies from the Ranked Store! To spruce up things for S8 we’ve made a new and immersive layout to the Ranked Mode Select that will celebrate your best champions and most recent stats. We also made some improvements to the Ranked Reward Tracker and Ranked Store contents, aka more fun stuff to earn as you make your climb! Good luck this season!
Ranked S8 will begin on January 16 at 7:00 PM PST.
ROLE LEADERBOARD & ROLE SCORES
Ever wondered if you’re the best Mid Laner in your friend group? Or if you’re a better Support than your bestie? Well, now you can prove it! We’ve added a Role Leaderboard, where you can compare your role score with your friends. You’ll also be able to now see the top players for each role in your region, with the best of the best even receiving a special title!
Along with the new update, we’ve also adjusted how role scores work. At the start of each new ranked season, your role scores will reset. But don’t worry, you’ll gain a boost for role score gains in the future based on your performance from the previous season so you can still climb to the top!
XBOX GAME PASS & LOGIN
Xbox Login is live with this patch! You can now login in to your account using your Xbox login. The Xbox Gampass is also live, and subscribers will receive in-game benefits—all Wild Rift champions unlocked and a 20% XP boost!
ETC DEVICE UPDATE
When Patch 4.0 launches, we will be deprecating our support for older devices that use the ETC texture format. If this affects you, you’ll receive a notification and email from us!
GAMEMODES
ALL RANDOM ULTRA RAPID FIRE MODE (ARURF)
To celebrate Lunar New Year we’ll be bringing back a classic: All Random Ultra Rapid Fire Mode! Queue up and play a completely random champion with super-speedy spells, just don’t forget to stretch those thumbs before hopping in a cannon!
And what’s a party without any decorations? We’re going all out for our Lunar New Year celebrations and decking out the Rift with fireworks, lanterns, and even a Lunar New Year themed cannon! We’re also adding a new effect for the holiday—whenever you slay a foe, fireworks will shoot into the air!
EXECUTE SMITE
During All Random Ultra Rapid Fire Mode (ARURF), we’re introducing a new mechanic: Execute Smite. It will function passively for junglers and free up a spell slot. This version of Smite still retains the core smite passives, but does not upgrade to Chilling Smite and has no cooldown. We’ll be keeping an eye out on how this performs for possible future use!
- [NEW] If you would reduce an Epic monster to 800 health or below, or a large monster to 400 health or below, execute the monster and restore 8% of your maximum health. This execute does not trigger from damage over time effects.
- Jungle Expertise:
- +20% bonus gold and 20% bonus experience from jungle monsters, but temporarily earn 60% less gold and experience from minions.
- +15% Attack Damage and +30% Ability Damage to jungle monsters.
- Restore 40 health over 5 seconds in combat against jungle monsters.
- Restore 4 mana every second while in the jungle or river.
All Random Ultra Rapid Fire (ARURF) mode begins January 12 at 00:01 UTC and ends Feb 02 at 00:01 UTC.
