Wild Rift’s cast of champions is growing from 40 to 41 in the game’s latest patch.
Katarina, the Sinister Blade is making her way to Summoner’s Rift along with seven collectible skins. When she releases later this month, players will be able to complete missions to unlock the champion. But for now, fans of the mobile game can look forward to various balance changes.
Ashe, Darius, and Ezreal are on the buff list, while Lulu, Miss Fortune, and Olaf fall victim to the nerf hammer in Patch 2.1a. Blade of the Ruined King and Liandry’s Torment have also been nerfed, while Haunting Guise has been adjusted.
Here’s the full list of changes coming to Wild Rift in a few days.
Champions
[New] Katarina
Decisive in judgment and lethal in combat, Katarina is a Noxian assassin of the highest caliber. Eldest daughter to the legendary General Du Couteau, she made her talents known with swift kills against unsuspecting enemies. Her fiery ambition has driven her to pursue heavily-guarded targets, even at the risk of endangering her allies. But no matter the mission, Katarina won’t hesitate to execute her duty amid a whirlwind of serrated daggers.
Katarina will be released later in the patch.
