Everyone has heard of League of Legends by now. Not much is known about Wild Rift, the upcoming version for consoles and mobile. Wild Rift is expected to enter beta soon – and with 41 playable champions. While we all wait for a firm release date, we thought we’d help get to know the game’s champions ahead of time in a four-part series. An early EarlyGame guide to the Wild Rift Champions.
While League of Legends has 148 champions, Wild Rift will launch with 41 champions – but that’s subject to change. This will make it easier to get started with the game, as many players looking forward to Wild Rift are probably not that familiar with LoL Champions. That’s why we’ve taken the liberty of providing a sort of overview, or early guide, to all the Wild Rift Champions, so you can get your head around them a bit.
Admittedly, there is not a lot of solid information about Wild Rift, but on the official League of Legends website you can find spotlights on each LoL Champion. So we’ve helped ourselves there and compiled the ones you can play in Wild Rift here:
Teemo
“Teemo is not afraid of even the most dangerous and scary problems. He explores the world with seemingly boundless enthusiasm and a cheerful disposition. The yordle never backs down from his moral principles and prides himself on always following the code of the bandle scouts. Sometimes he does so so zealously that he is unaware of the far-reaching consequences of his actions. While some consider the existence of the scout troop questionable, they can be sure of one thing: Teemo and his convictions are not to be trifled with.”
- GUERILLA WARfare (passive)
When Teemo stands still and does nothing for a moment, he camouflages himself until he stirs again. Teemo can move through tall grass and both begin to camouflage and maintain his camouflage. When he becomes visible again, he gains the element of surprise, which increases his attack speed for 3 seconds. - BLEND ARROW
Obscures an enemy’s vision using a powerful poison that damages the target unit and blinds it for that time. - QUICK MOVEMENT
Teemo dashes around, passively increasing his movement speed until he is hit by an enemy or turret. Teemo can also jump momentarily, increasing his running speed without this effect being cancelled by attacks. - POISON SHOT
Teemo poisons the target with his attacks, causing damage on impact and every second for 4 seconds. - POISON FALL
Teemo crafts an explosive, poisonous trap from one of the mushrooms in his backpack and throws it out. When an enemy falls into the trap, a cloud of poison is released, slowing them down and dealing repeated damage. If Teemo throws a mushroom at an already placed mushroom, it will bounce off it, giving it more range.
Tryndamere
“With unbridled rage and frenzy, Tryndamere once slashed through Freljord, challenging the greatest warriors of the north in preparation for even darker days ahead. The angry barbarian has long thirsted for vengeance for the destruction of his clan, but recently he has joined forces with Ashe, a warrior mother of the Avarosa, and found a home with her people. His almost inhuman strength and bravery are legendary, and against all odds have brought him and his new allies countless victories.”
- FIGHTING RAGE (passive).
Tryndamere accumulates more Fury with each hit, critical strike, and deathblow. This passively increases his critical hit chance and can be consumed with Bloodthirst. - BLOOD THURST
The thrill of battle serves as Tryndamere’s incentive, so as the severity of his injuries increases, so does his attack damage. He can activate “Bloodthirst” to consume his fury and heal himself. - SPOTTRUF
Tryndamere roars an insult that reduces the attack damage of nearby champions. It also causes a run speed reduction on enemies with their backs to Tryndamere. - WHIRLING BLADE
Tryndamere whirls to a target unit, dealing damage to all enemies hit. - UNBALANCED RAGE
Tryndamere’s battle rage becomes so fierce that he cannot die no matter how badly he is wounded.
Twisted Fate
“Twisted Fate is a notorious con man and swindler who has played and flattered his way throughout the known world, earning him the hostility and admiration of the rich as well as the stupid. He rarely takes anything seriously, starting each new day with a mocking grin and strutting off without a care in the world. Twisted Fate basically always has some ace up his sleeve.”
- TWISTED CARD (passive).
When he kills a unit, Twisted Fate rolls his ‘Lucky Dice’ and receives between 1 and 6 additional gold. - JOKER
Twisted Fate rolls 3 cards that deal magic damage to any unit they hit as they fly by. - DRAW A CARD
Twisted Fate chooses a magic card from his deck and uses it for his next attack, causing it to deal additional effects. - CARD STACK
Twisted Fate deals additional damage every 4th attack. It also increases his attack speed. - FATE
Twisted Fate predicts the fate of his opponents, thereby revealing all enemy champions, allowing him to use a portal that teleports Twisted Fate to any target position in 1.5 seconds.
Varus
“Varus was a deadly enforcer, a descendant of the ancient dark ones. He liked to drive his enemies mad and then execute them with a final arrow. He came into captivity at the end of the Great Dark War, from which he escaped after centuries by seizing the interwoven bodies of two Ionian hunters. They had freed Varus in their ignorance and now carry the bow that houses his essence. Varus now searches for those who once chained him to quench his brutal thirst for vengeance. The mortal souls within him, however, fight against his quest with every step.”
- LIFE GRANT (passive).

Varus draws his bow and then fires a powerful shot whose range and damage increase with preparation time. - TAINTED QUIVER

Varus hurls a damage-dealing tendril of corruption that immobilizes the first enemy champion it hits, and then spreads to nearby uninfected champions, who are also immobilized on contact.
Vayne
“Shauna Vayne is a deadly and ruthless monster hunter from Demacia who has dedicated her life to hunting down the demon that murdered her family. Truly happy, Vayne is only when, full of a thirst for revenge, she can mow down wizards and creatures of the dark arts from the shadows with the crossbow on her wrist with her silver bolts.”

Vayne prepares for an epic confrontation. She gains additional attack damage, invisibility during Pike Roll, reduces the cooldown of Pike Roll, and increases the additional run speed of Huntress of the Night.
Vi
“Vi, once a criminal from the darkest quarters of Zhaun, is a hot-headed and fearsome woman who shows little respect for authority figures. She has been on her own since childhood, honing her survival instincts in the alleys – as well as her quirky, gruff sense of humor. She’s been on her own since childhood, honing her survival instincts in the alleys – just like her quirky, gruff sense of humor.

He once fought for mere survival in countless gladiatorial battles in the doomed battle pits of Noxus, but when he was freed by Demacian forces, he swore eternal allegiance to those brave liberators upon his life.

“Yasuo is a determined Ionian and an agile swordsman who uses the air itself against his opponents. As a proud young man, he was falsely accused of murdering his master. Unable to prove his innocence, he was forced to kill his own brother in self-defense. Even after his master’s true killer was revealed, Yasuo could not forgive himself for his actions. He now roams his homeland, letting the wind guide his blade.”
- WAY OF THE WANDERER (passive).

Creates a wall that blocks all enemy projectiles for 4 seconds. - SWISHING BLADE

Jumps to an enemy champion that is in the air, dealing normal damage and pinning all nearby enemies that are flung up in the air. Grants the maximum number of increases from Determination, but resets all increases from Gathering Storm. Yasuo gains additional armor penetration on his critical hits for a moderate amount of time afterward.
Zed
“Zed is utterly ruthless as well as without a sense of mercy, and is also the leader of the Order of Shadows, an organization he founded to militarize Ionia’s fighting and magical arts in order to repel the Noxian invaders. During the war, his desperation led him to the secrets of the Shadow Form – an insidious spirit magic as dangerous and corrupt as it is powerful. Zed has learned all the forbidden techniques to destroy anyone who poses a threat to his nation or his new order.”

Zed cannot be targeted and jumps to an enemy champion, marking them. After 3 seconds, the mark will trigger and deal a portion of the damage dealt to the target while Zed was marked again.
Ziggs
“With his penchant for big bombs and short fuses, Yordle Ziggs is truly an explosive force of nature. He quickly grew bored of his assistant position with an inventor in Piltover and befriended a crazy blue-haired bomber named Jinx. After a wild night on the town, Ziggs took her advice and moved to Zhaun. There he indulges his fascination with all things explosive undisturbed, terrorizing the Chem barons as well as ordinary residents in an eternal quest to blow something up.”
