WILD RIFT PATCH NOTES 2.2C
Source: League of Legends: Wild Rift
Author: Savannah Ho, Alex Huang, Ben Forbes
The last balance patch of the 2.2 cycle is here! Renekton, Blood Moon skins, nerfs to Evelynn, and a brand new Nemesis Duel. Welcome to Patch 2.2c!
-----
With Rengar and Kha’Zix still in the middle of their rivalry, a new competition emerges from the sun-soaked sands of Shurima. Renekton will be available later in the patch to face off against his brother, Nasus, and the ancient rituals of Blood Moon will make their debut in Wild Rift a little later. We’ve also got some targeted nerfs for some of the strongest solo queue superstars: the #evelynnisoverparty starts now, besties.
This is the last balance patch of this cycle, so we’ll be running with these changes for an extra week or so. Look out for another /dev diary later this month for what’s hitting in June and July. Welcome to Patch 2.2c!

[b]RENEKTON, THE BUTCHER OF THE SANDS
[/b]
Renekton is a terrifying, rage-fueled Ascended warrior from the scorched deserts of Shurima. Once, he was his empire’s most esteemed champion, leading its grand armies to countless victories. However, after the fall of the Sun Disc, Renekton was entombed beneath the sands—and slowly, as the world above changed, he succumbed to insanity. Now free once more, he is utterly consumed with wreaking vengeance upon his brother, Nasus, who he blames for the centuries lost in darkness.

[b][i]NEW EVENTS
[/i][/b]
[b]PRIDE
[/b]
Everyone’s welcome on the Rift!
The Pride event will begin on May 24. More information available soon.
[b][i]NEMESIS DUEL
[/i][/b]
Later in the patch, Nasus and Renekton enter Wild Rift’s second Nemesis Duel. As a reminder, these can trigger when:
• Both champs are at or above Level 13
• Neither champ has dealt or taken champion damage within 5 seconds
• Both champs are alive
• Both champs 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 ingame event when the opposing champion dies within 3 seconds of taking damage from the winning champion.
Nasus and Renekton’s Nemesis Duel is Bad Blood:
• If Nasus wins, (1) Siphoning Strike strikes all enemies in an area
• If Renekton wins, he will remain at maximum Fury during (Ult) Dominus
