WR:Champion

Wild Rift champions are directly based on their counterparts from League of Legends. Their visuals have in some cases been updated to better match their appearances in Lore. Similarly, certain abilities have been altered for better gameplay on mobile and consoles.

Not all champions from League of Legends are available in Wild Rift. There are 127 champions currently available.

This is the list of all champions included in the official release.

Champion Differences[edit | edit source]

Note: These champion differences are made in comparison to champions in League of Legends. Some differences may be missing.

Ability Differences[edit | edit source]

The maximum level for champions is 15 instead of 18, and basic abilities have a maximum rank of 4 instead of 5.

Ultimate abilities can be leveled up at levels 5 / 9 / 13 instead of 6 / 11 / 16.

Many champions' abilities have been modified from their appearances in LoL to accommodate either the twin-stick control scheme or the smaller scope of the match.

Champion Abilities

Aatrox's Deathbringer Stance and Infernal Chains deal physical damage instead of magic damage.

Ahri's Essence Theft's healing limitation is changed to after using 3 abilities, her next ability will heal. Additionally, it doesn't count for health recovery per enemy hit, it just simply heals for a certain amount.

Ashe's Enchanted Crystal Arrow can now be controlled (like Yuumi's Prowling Projectile, with a turning circle more similar to Sion's Unstoppable Onslaught). Ranger's Focus always stores two stacks of focus whenever it's not used. However, the number of empowered basic attacks she can have when active can only be based on the amount of focus she has instead of any amount of basic attacks under a short period of time.
Akali's Shuriken Flip no longer has the ability to mark her Twilight Shroud.
Amumu's Tantrum active additionally slows for 30% in 0.5 seconds.
Aurelion Sol's Astral Flight can be turned around instead of going one direction.
Darius' Noxian Guillotine cooldown reset is enabled at all ranks.
Diana's Moonfall is now required to be channeled to gain its crowd control effects instead of the moment it starts. She is also unable to move during its channel. The size of the area of effect depends on how long it has been channeled. Moonfall also applies Moonlight on affected targets. Moonsilver Blade passively no longer grants a flat amount attack speed per level. She can, however, still gain an attack speed bonus after using any ability.
Evelynn's Hate Spike can only be cast twice instead of four times as well as not being able to mark the enemy for bonus magic damage through hitting a bolt (base damage and scaling from each spike is increased instead, basic attack and ability damage interaction is removed). Ability power only Increases Demon Shade's healing below her threshold instead of increasing the health it can heal.
Garen's Perseverance's health regeneration changed to based on missing health from based on maximum health. Demacian Justice now deals 50% true damage to enemies near the primary target.
Katarina can slowly move around instead of staying still during her Death Lotus to maintain the channel.
Kassadin's Void Stone's now grants a shield every ability cast instead of gaining passive ghost and reduced damage against magic damage.
Lee Sin's Safeguard no longer requires an allied unit and can simply dash to a target location.
Lulu's Whimsy targeting input changed to location-targeted from unit-targeted. Whimsy now gains Help, Pix!'s offensive effects like Glitterlance's extension and bonus damage from Pix, Faerie Companion. Targeting a location instead of a unit now leaves a shrine similar to Bard's Caretaker's Shrine.
Lux's Final Spark has global effective range. Consuming Illumination with a basic attack is now a non-projectile.
Miss Fortune's Double Up's, Annie's Disintegrate's, Kassadin's Null Sphere's targeting input changed to direction-targeted from unit-targeted.
Nasus' Siphoning Strike now grants 4 stacks for smaller units and 8 stacks for larger units.
Rakan's Battle Dance increases the shield when applied to Xayah instead of increasing its range when used on her.

- Slaying Champions, Rift Herald or, Baron Nashor grants 12 stacks of Draconic Bloodline.
- Slaying Dragons grants 35 Draconic Bloodline.
Soraka's Starcall becomes empowered after healing an ally three times. When empowered, it's damage is increased by 40% and has a bigger area of effect.
Wukong's Crushing Blow is now his passive instead of Stone Skin. However it grants increased damage per stack (up to a cap) instead of armor penetration when he and his clone damage the enemy. Crushing Blow's old active is now called "Golden Staff" and passively grants bonus attack range on the next basic upon casting any ability. Golden Staff grants the next basic attack bonus damage and heals him. The clone from Warrior Trickster no longer gains bonus attack speed from Nimbus Strike.

Active Champion Abilities

Added actives to several previously passive only abilities:
- Vayne's Silver Bolts' active grants bonus attack speed for 3 attacks for a duration and triggering the passive during this time grants healing equal to the damage dealt by Silver Bolts.
- Vi's Blast Shield has switched places with Denting Blows. Blast Shield is now an active ability. Passively, a stack of Blast Shield is gained whenever Vi attacks or casts an ability, up to 5 stacks. Casting Blast Shield will consume all stacks to grant Vi a shield and a burst of bonus movement speed for 3 seconds.
  - Denting Blows is now Vi's innate. Bonus attack speed now scales with her level. The bonus physical damage dealt is changed to 4% of her target's maximum health at all levels and its AD ratio has been increased.
- Twisted Fate's Stacked Deck's active increases the passive bonus attack speed for 3 seconds.
- Teemo's Guerrilla Warfare has switched places with Toxic Shot. Guerrilla Warfare is now an active ability and uses camouflage instead of invisibility. It can only extend its stealth in the Brush and has a five second duration when not on the brush.
