Wild Rift Patch 5.0: Dive into a Feast of Fresh Features!
Greetings, Wild Rift Runners! Patch 5.0 is upon us, and it’s a doozy. Brace yourselves for a smorgasbord of gameplay tweaks, terrain transformations, ranked season kick-off, exciting events, and a Wild Pass that’s simply delectable. Let’s dig in!
Gameplay Gumbo
- New Items, New Strategies: Spice up your builds with Heartsteel for monstrous health pools, Titanic Hydra for AoE domination, and Spear of Shojin for a dash of cooldown-slashing frenzy. Existing items get a rebalancing sprinkle, so keep your eyes peeled for the full details.
- Minion Maneuvers: Roamers, rejoice! Siege minions are taking a chill pill, giving you time to strut your stuff without putting your towers in peril. And guess what? The Rift Herald ditches minion munching for turret targeting, making its claim even more impactful.
