Elemental Rift addition
Like the League of Legends PC, even Wild Rift will get an Elemental Rift soon. Currently, there are only four Dragons in-game. Players can expect the Dragon Soul now in-game. This will change soon as the developers are working with Elder Dragon and looking to introduce this behemoth into the game.

In each game, one element will become a major factor that will dominate the map. Each elemental rift will impact team fights, vision, and objective controls differently. If a team slays three dragons continuously in Elemental Rift, they will get a powerful buff called the Dragon Soul. Here are the different effects:
- Infernal Dragon knocks down walls and burns away bushes. Taking it as the Dragon Soul will provide teams with a bonus where their auto-attacks and abilities will create explosions on impact.
- Mountain Dragon creates new terrain in the jungle. Taking it as the Dragon Soul will provide teams with a bonus where they get a powerful shield.
- Ocean Dragon spawns more bushes and extra honey fruits. Taking it as the Dragon Soul will provide teams with a bonus where they get extra healing from damaging enemies.
- Cloud Dragon turns pathways into wind tunnels that increase champions’ movement speed. Taking it as the Dragon Soul will provide teams with a bonus where champions move even faster after casting their ultimate.
