Welcome to Patch 2.2b!

[b]NEW CHAMPIONS

[/b]

[b]RENGAR, THE PRIDESTALKER

[/b]

Rengar is a ferocious vastayan trophy hunter who lives for the thrill of tracking down and killing dangerous creatures. He scours the world for the most fearsome beasts he can find, especially seeking any trace of Kha’Zix, the void creature who scratched out his eye. Rengar stalks his prey neither for food nor glory, but for the sheer beauty of the pursuit.

Rengar will be released on May 6 at 0:01 UTC.

[b]KHA’ZIX, THE VOIDREAVER

[/b]

The Void grows, and the Void adapts—in none of its myriad spawn are these truths more apparent than Kha’Zix. Evolution drives the core of this mutating horror, born to survive and to slay the strong. Where it struggles to do so, it grows new, more effective ways to counter and kill its prey. Initially a mindless beast, Kha’Zix’s intelligence has developed as much as its form. Now, the creature plans out its hunts, and even utilizes the visceral terror it engenders in its victims.

Kha’Zix will be released on May 6 at 0:01 UTC.

[b]NEW EVENTS

[/b]

[b]MASTERS OF THE HUNT

[/b]

Ever shrouded by the fog of war, the jungles of Wild Rift can prove deadly to even the bravest of champions. Yet two natural-born hunters now claim this savage battleground as their domain, each intent on making a trophy of the other.

The Masters of the Hunt event will begin on May 6. More information available soon.

[b]NEW SYSTEMS

[/b]

[b]NEMESIS DUEL

[/b]

These two ferocious champions are bringing their vendetta to Wild Rift with a new high-stakes mechanic: Nemesis Duel! This feature is a permanent part of the game that will continue even once the event ends. A Nemesis Duel event can trigger when the respective champions meet all the following conditions:

• Both are at or above Level 13

• Neither have dealt or taken champion damage within 5 seconds

• Both are alive

• Both are at least 16 units apart

A Nemesis Duel won’t happen every game these conditions are met, but when it does, everyone in the game will know through an in-game announcement. A champion wins the Nemesis Duel event when the opposing champion dies within 3 seconds of taking damage from the winning champion.

The first Nemesis Duel in Wild Rift is The Hunt is On!

• If Rengar wins, Rengar automatically gains Ferocity during (Ult) Thrill of the Hunt.

• If Kha’Zix wins, Kha’Zix gains an extra evolution point.

More information on Nemesis Duel will be available soon!
