WILD RIFT PATCH NOTES 2.5A: NEW CHAMPIONS

CAITLYN, THE SHERIFF OF PILTOVER

Renowned as its finest peacekeeper, Caitlyn is also Piltover’s best shot at ridding the city of its elusive criminal elements. She is often paired with Vi, acting as a cool counterpoint to her partner’s more impetuous nature. Even though she carries a one-of-a-kind hextech rifle, Caitlyn’s most powerful weapon is her superior intellect, allowing her to lay elaborate traps for any lawbreakers foolish enough to operate in the City of Progress.

Caitlyn will be released on November 9 at 00:01 UTC.

JAYCE, THE DEFENDER OF TOMORROW

Jayce is a brilliant inventor who has pledged his life to the defense of Piltover and its unyielding pursuit of progress. With his transforming hextech hammer in hand, Jayce uses his strength, courage, and considerable intelligence to protect his hometown. While revered throughout the city as a hero, he hasn’t taken well to the attention heroism brings. Still, Jayce’s heart is in the right place, and even those who envy his natural skills are grateful for his protection in the City of Progress.

Jayce will be released on November 9 at 00:01 UTC.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

BLACK CLEAVERBlack Cleaver has been underperforming in comparison to other options like Trinity Force and Death’s Dance in every slot for most fighters. We don’t want to swing too far in the opposite direction, so we’re cautiously giving it a light buff to help it compete.

Attack damage: 35 → 40

LAST WHISPERLast Whisper and its upgrades offer extremely powerful anti-armor itemization for physical damage carries. While this is their intended output, they are currently so effective at their purpose that tank defenses are being invalidated by penetration even relatively early in the game. We are reducing the efficiency of these items, particularly Mortal Reminder, and adding per-level scaling to the armor penetration to ensure that tanks have a sufficient window of time to use their defenses before carries scale into a place to cut them down.
