Wild Rift Patch Notes 4.1a
Pick a card, any card—Welcome to Patch 4.1a! The launch of Ultimate Spell Book, our special April Fools Event, Cosmic skins, and of course balance updates!
CHAMPION CHANGES
AMUMU
AP Amumu's ability to solo Baron Nashor and Elder Dragon is too strong in the late game, so we’re nerfing his ability to take those objectives, while leaving his early game power in-tact.
Despair
- Ability Power ratio: 0.75% → 0.6%
JHIN
Jhin is not performing well in higher levels of play, so four now, we’re buffing one of his more difficult abilities to help him out.
Deadly Flourish
- Cooldown: 14s → 12s
NAUTILUS
After our recent buffs to Nautilus, he has been dominating in the Jungle. We’re putting our anchor down, and taking back some of those previous adjustments.
RIPTIDE
- Damage to monsters: 200% → 175%
Nunu & Willump
Nunu didn't benefit much from the new tank items, so he needs a slight buff to help him be the backbone his team needs.
BASE STATS
- Health per level: 105 → 112
CONSUME
- Heal bonus health ratio: 8% → 9%
PYKE
Currently, Pyke support is weaker when compared to picking him in the Mid Lane or Jungle. So we’re making some adjustments all around to balance his power between the three roles.
BONE SKEWER
- Damage ratio to minions: 100% → 80%
- Damage ratio to monsters: 110% → 90%
PHANTOM UNDERTOW
- Damage ratio to monsters: 110% → 100%
DEATH FROM BELOW
- Additional gold ratio for solo kills: 110% → 100%
- Gold granted to Pyke for assisting a teammate: 110% → 120%
- Extra gold cap: 550g → 600g
- When teammates kill the enemy within Pyke’s ultimate range, Pyke's extra gold ratio: 110% → 120%
- Extra gold cap: 550g → 600g
RAMMUS
Last patch we released Amaranth Twinguard, and it has been giving Rammus too much armor, making him an unkillable menace. We’re telling him to arma-chill-o this patch and nerfing the amount of armor he gets in the later stages of the game.
DEFENSIVE BALL CURL
- Base damage: 8/10/12/14 → 10/12/14/16
- Percent armor boost: 70/80/90/100% → 70/75/80/85%
- [NEW] No longer reduces movement speed by 30% when activated
- [BUGFIXED] Fixed the issue where the percentage of resists obtained from other sources being higher than normal when enabled.
VARUS
Since the last patch, we’ve seen the win rate of Ability Power Varus become significantly higher than his Attack Damage builds. This time, we’re nerfing him slightly to bring the win rates closer together.
Chain of Corruption
- Ability Power ratio: 100% → 85%
WARWICK
After Warwick’s last adjustment, his ability to take fights in the earlier stages of the game have diminished. So, we’ve decided to sharpen his claws and buff him back to a healthier state.
JAWS OF THE BEAST
- Damage converted to heal: 22.5/40/57.5/75% → 37.5/50/62.5/75%
ZERI
Even after our last nerf, Zeri is still too strong. We’re taking another swing, and this time aiming to strike down some of her electrifying strength in the late game.
BASE STATS
- Health per level: 120 → 112
LIGHTNING CRASH
- Basic attack chains bonus Attack Damage: 25% Attack Damage → 20% Attack Damage
