NEW

YUNARA, THE UNBROKEN FAITH 

Unwavering in her devotion to Ionia, Yunara has spent centuries cloistered away in the spirit realm honing her skills with the Aion Er’na, a legendary Kinkou relic. Despite all she has sacrificed, Yunara’s vow to rid the land of disharmony and strife remains unbroken, as does her faith. But the world that now awaits her—and the shadow of an ancient threat risen once more—will test every ounce of her resolve.

Yunara will be released on July 09 at 00:01 UTC.

CHAMPION ADJUSTMENTS 

ADJUSTMENTS TO MAGE SUMMON BUFFS 

Some summoned units weren't inheriting their champion’s Magic Penetration, causing them to lose effectiveness as matches progressed. We've updated these summons to properly inherit Magic Penetration, improving their scaling and overall consistency. 

P.S. Heimerdinger's turrets have always been ahead of the curve, they've been inheriting Magic Penetration all along. 

BONUS ARMOR PENETRATION ADJUSTMENTS 

K'Sante and Yasuo previously gained percentage Armor Penetration after casting their ultimates, making them too effective against nearly every target. We've updated this to Bonus Armor Penetration, which only applies to bonus Armor. This keeps their power against tankier champions while reducing their damage against squishier targets.

ITEM ADJUSTMENTS 

Active Enchantment Item Change

Active Enchantments have long been one of the most impactful systems in Wild Rift, but they've also become one of the hardest to balance. While they create exciting outplay moments, they also flatten champion matchups by giving nearly every champion access to the same powerful defensive or utility tools. To address this, we're fundamentally changing how Active Enchantments work. Instead of being purchasable by every champion, active effects are now tied to champion classes. This gives each class more distinct strengths and weaknesses while opening up greater item build diversity, since players will no longer be expected to purchase the same Enchantments every game. As with any system update of this scale, we'll be closely monitoring performance across all classes and make follow-up adjustments where needed. To ease the transition, we've also buffed several defensive items for physical damage dealers to help compensate for the loss of defensive Enchantments.

BOOTS ADJUSTMENTS

We're continuing our overhaul of the boot system. While last patch laid the groundwork, boots still weren't meeting our goals for item progression and build satisfaction.Tier 2 Boots have been updated with streamlined recipes and more specialized stats, making early purchases smoother while restoring classic effects like Mercury's Treads' Tenacity. Rather than serving as universally efficient stat sticks, each pair of boots is now better suited to specific combat situations and champion classes.

To keep early-game pacing intact, Tier 3 Boots can only be upgraded later in the match.

MAGE ITEM UPDATES

We're giving the mage item system a comprehensive update to strengthen class identity and expand build diversity.Traditional mages have become too reliant on stacking Magic Penetration, making them scale similarly to marksmen while limiting their early and mid-game impact. To address this, we're reworking Magic Penetration and updating mage item stats, while improving first-item options like Malignance and Luden's Echo so mages can become stronger playmakers earlier in the game. We're also refining the identity and build paths of mage items while introducing several new ones. Burst-focused builds will offer higher damage at the cost of Ability Haste, while spell-focused builds will trade raw burst for more frequent spellcasting. These changes are intended to create clearer strengths, weaknesses, and choices across mage builds.

• Build Path: Haunting Guise (900) + Blasting Wand (800) + Ruby Crystal (500) + 800 → Haunting Guise (1300) + Fated Ashes (900) + 800
• Ability Power: 75 →70
• Max Health: 250 → 300

Torment:

• Max Health Damage: 0.6% - 3%(based on level) → 2%

[New] Madness:

• While fighting enemy champions, deal 2% additional damage each second, up to 6%.

Cosmic Drive 

We're updating Cosmic Drive to better support a wider range of mages. While it will still offer the highest Movement Speed among mage items, we're trading some raw speed for longer-lasting mobility and added Health, making it a stronger option for kiting and sustained-damage playstyles.

Base Stats:

• Price: 2800 → 3000
• Build Path: Aether Wisp(950) + Fiendish Codex(1000) + 850 → Aether Wisp(950) + Fiendish Codex(900) + Kindlegem(1000) + 150
• Ability Power: 75→70
• Max Health: 0 → 300
• Ability Haste: 30 → 25

Spellweaving:

• Dealing magic damage or true damage to champions grants 30 bonus Movement Speed for 4 seconds.

Riftmaker 

We're sharpening Riftmaker's identity as an AP fighter item. It now offers stronger sustained-fight power through extended combat, with Omnivamp and damage amplification that also synergize well with true damage champions like Gwen.

Base Stats:

• Price: 3200 →3100
• Build Path: Hextech Alternator (1400) + Fiendish Codex (1000) + 800 → Haunting Guise (1300) + Fiendish Codex (900) + 900
• Ability Power: 80 → 70
• Max Health: 150 → 350

Void Corruption:

• While fighting enemy champions, deal 2% additional damage each second, up to 8%. At maximum strength, gain Omnivamp equal to 10% (melee) / 6% (ranged).

Void Infusion:

• Gain Ability Power equal to 2% of your bonus Health.

Archangel's Staff 

We're smoothing out Archangel's Staff's power curve. It now offers stronger baseline stats as a Legendary item while reducing some of its fully stacked power, with slightly slower stacking to create more consistent scaling throughout the game.

Base Stats:

• Price: 2950→3000
• Build Path: Tear of the Goddess(900) + Lost Chapter(900) + Ring of Revelation(400) + 750 → Tear of the Goddess(500) + Lost Chapter(1200) + Fiendish Codex(900) + 400
• Ability Power: 35 → 60
• Ability Haste: 20 → 25

Mana Charge: 

• Bonus Max Mana: 18 → 14

Seraph's Embrace 

Base Stats:

• Ability Power: 35 → 60
• Ability Haste: 20 → 25

Awe:

• Ability Power conversion from max Mana: 3% → 2%

Lifeline:

• Shield conversion from max Mana: 15% → 20%
• Cooldown: 90s → 70s

Rabadon's Deathcap 

As part of the mage item update, we've adjusted Rabadon's Deathcap's Ability Power and changed its amplification to a fixed value, making its late-game power more consistent and easier to balance.

Base Stats:

• Ability Power: 100 → 130

Overkill:

• Ability Power ratio: 20%-45% (based on level) → 30%

Oceanid's Trident 

Base Stats:

• Build Path: Haunting Guise(1300) + Blasting Wand(800) + 900 → Fiendish Codex(900) + Blasting Wand(800) + Ruby Crystal(500) + 400
• Ability Power: 75 → 80
• Ability Haste: 0 → 10

Luden’s Echo 

We want Luden's Echo to offer more early-game strength for burst mages, and we have also reworked its complex charge mechanic.

Base Stats:

• Price: 2900 →2800
• Build Path: Lost Chapter (900) + Blasting Wand (800) + Ring of Revelation (400) + 800 →Lost Chapter (1200) + Hextech Alternator (1100) + 500
• Ability Power: 85→ 100
• Max Mana: 300 → 500
• Ability Haste: 20 → 10

Discordic Echo:

• Cooldown mechanic: Charge-based (generated by movement and casting) → Fixed 10 seconds

Malignance 

Base Stats:

• Price: 2800 → 2700
• Build Path: Lost Chapter(900) + Fiendish Codex(900) + Ring of Revelation(400) + 600 → Lost Chapter(1200) + Blasting Wand(800) + 700
• Ability Power: 80 → 90
• Max Mana: 400 → 500
• Ability Haste: 20 → 15

Lich Bane 

Base Stats:

• Ability Power: 80 → 100

Spellblade:

• Ability Power ratio of magic damage: 50% → 45%

Rylai's Crystal Scepter 

Base Stats:

• Build Path: Giant's Belt(1000) + Blasting Wand(800) + 900 → Giant's Belt(1000) + Blasting Wand(800) + Amplifying Tome(500) + 400
• Max Health: 300 → 350

Horizon Focus 

Base Stats:

• Price: 2900 → 2700
• Build Path: Fiendish Codex (1000) + Blasting Wand (800) + Ring of Revelation (400) + 700 → Fiendish Codex (900) + Fiendish Codex (900) + Amplifying Tome (500) + 400
• Ability Haste: 20 → 25

Hypershot:

• Bonus Damage: 9% → 10%

Morellonomicon 

Base Stats:

• Price: 2600 → 2650
• Build Path: Oblivion Orb(900) + Fiendish Codex(900) + 800→ Kindlegem(1000) + Oblivion Orb(900) + Amplifying Tome(500) + 250
• Max Health: 150 → 300
• Ability Haste: 20→ 15

Prophet's Pendant [Removed] 

We believe flat penetration is too valuable in the early game to be available on a mid-tier item, so we are removing it. In its place, Hextech Alternator can serve as the burst-oriented mid-tier option.

Bandle Fantasy [Removed] 

Bandle Fantasy does not have a clear role. Its effect overlaps with Luden's Echo, it has low usage, and it does not occupy a defined niche in the new mage item ecosystem, so we decided to remove it.

Psychic Projector [Removed] 

We're removing Psychic Projector as part of the mage item update. It provided too much durability by combining high Armor and Magic Resist in a single item. Mage fighters can now turn to Riftmaker for sustained combat, while Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil serve as the dedicated Armor and Magic Resist defensive options.

Crown of the Shattered Queen [Removed] 

We're removing Crown of the Shattered Queen and folding its effect into Banshee's Veil. This simplifies the mage item system while giving Banshee's Veil a clearer defensive identity.

Awakened Soulstealer [Removed] 

We're removing Awakened Soulstealer as part of the mage item update. Its combination of Magic Penetration, Ability Haste, and a high-impact passive gave burst mages too many strengths in a single item, making it a poor fit for the new mage item ecosystem.

Support Item Adjustments

We're updating enchanter items to reduce the excessive amounts of Ability Haste available in the late game, making near-constant shielding and healing less reliable. At the same time, we're giving some underused support items a boost to improve build diversity.

Ring of Revelation 

• Price: 400 → 300
• Ability Haste: 10 → 5

Harmonic Echo 

Base Stats:

• Price: 2600 → 2800
• Ability Haste: 10 → 15
• Heal and Shield Power: 8% → 5%

Harmonic Echo:

• Healing and Shield Power: 150% → 130%
• Base healing: 120-180 (based on level) → 100-160 (based on level)

Forbidden Idol 

Base Stats:

• Ability Haste: 10 → 5

Ardent Censer 

Base Stats:

• Ability Power: 35 → 45
• Ability Haste: 20 → 10

Censer:

• Now also triggers when healing a target at full Health.
• Bonus Attack Speed: 15%-40% (based on level) →15%-34% (based on level)
• Bonus damage: 16-30 (based on level) → 16-22 (based on level) 

Staff of Flowing Waters 

Base Stats:

• Price: 2600 → 2500
• Ability Power: 45 → 50
• Ability Haste: 20 → 15

Rapids:

• Now also triggers when healing a target at full Health.
• Ability Haste gained: 10 →15
• Ability Power gained: 20-40 (based on level) →30-50 (based on level)

Imperial Mandate 

Base Stats:

• Ability Power: 40 →50

Frozen Heart 

Base Stats:

• Price: 2700 → 2650
• Mana: 200 → 250
• Ability Haste: 25 → 20

Yordle Trap 

The gold provided by the trap was simply too high. Tank supports with a lead could snowball far too quickly and become nearly unkillable, so this is also part of our broader effort to pull back item power.

Base Stats:

• Price: 2500 → 2600

Catcher:

• Self Movement Speed bonus: 30% → 10%
• Gold gained: 200-240→100-140

Redemption 

• Has been moved into the active item Redemption.

Other Items 

Tear of the Goddess 

We believe Tear of the Goddess should be available as a starting item. For champions that need to stack it, starting the game with Sapphire Crystal may not provide the stats they need, while a 900-gold Tear of the Goddess may not be directly purchasable on the first recall. We are therefore lowering its price and slightly reducing its stacking speed.

Base Stats:

• Price: 900 → 500
• Mana: 300 → 200
• Ability Haste: 10 → 5

Mana Charge:

• Max Mana gained per stack: 7 → 6

Tear of the Goddess is now a basic item.

Guardian Angel 

With defensive Enchantments removed for many classes, we're expanding defensive item options. Guardian Angel has long been too expensive and inefficient to justify its cost, so we're giving it a broad buff to make it a more appealing choice for fighters and marksmen.

Base Stats:

• Price: 3400 → 3200
• Attack Damage: 40 → 45

Resurrect:

• Mana restored on revive: 30% → 100%
• Cooldown: 210s → 180s

Sterak's Gage 

Lifeline items are receiving a broad round of adjustments so their cooldowns better match the pace of combat.

Lifeline:

• Cooldown: 90s → 75s

Maw of Malmortius 

Lifeline:

• Cooldown: 90s → 75s

Mantle of the Twelfth Hour

• Cooldown: 90s → 75s

Base Stats:

• Attack Damage: 25 → 40

• Damage per stack: 11% → 5%
• Max stacks: 4 → 6 

Thornmail 

Thorns

• Damage ratio based on Bonus Health: 2% → 1%

Sapphire Crystal [Removed] 

RUNES 

We're reducing the overall power of runes so champions and items play a bigger role in defining gameplay. Runes have become too impactful, often covering intended weaknesses or providing too much power with little tradeoff. This patch includes broad nerfs across most runes, bringing the system back to its intended role as a complement to your champion and build rather than the defining source of their strength.

Battlefield Adjustments 

Bounty System Update 

We're updating the bounty system to better reflect a champion's actual gold advantage. Instead of relying primarily on kill and death streaks, bounties will now take all major gold sources into account, including assists and minion farming, making them a more accurate measure of a champion's lead. We're also introducing dynamic bounty scaling. Teams with larger gold leads will grant bigger shutdown rewards, while champions on a team that's behind will no longer award bounties. This should create fairer comeback opportunities and reduce excessive snowballing.

Overview： 

• Champion bounties are no longer based on consecutive kills or deaths, and instead are determined by gold gained and lost.
• Champion bounties now accumulate more precisely. For example, a champion can now have a +1 gold bounty.
• Bonus bounties will only be displayed on the scoreboard once they exceed 100 gold. Bonus bounties below 100 gold will continue to accumulate.
• Bounties are updated only after leaving combat.
• Gold granted by champion abilities (such as Twisted Fate, Draven, and Pyke) and by items or runes (such as First Strike and The Collector) is not included in bounty calculations.

Positive Bounty： 

• Positive bounties refer to the bonus gold awarded to the killer when a champion is slain (unchanged).
• Positive bounties are no longer based on consecutive kills.
• While a champion has a positive bounty, every 3 gold earned through kills and assists adds 1 gold to their bounty. Gold earned from takedowns does not increase the killer's bounty.
• While a champion has a positive bounty, every 20 gold earned from minions, jungle monsters, support items, Smite, and similar sources adds 1 gold to their bounty.
• A champion's positive bounty is reset when they are taken down .
• A single takedown can award up to 700 bonus gold. Any excess bounty will continue to accumulate and will be displayed after the champion respawns.
• Takedown payouts are now dynamically adjusted based on the relative lead or deficit between the two teams. If the champion's team is even or behind, 100% of the takedown bounty is suppressed; if the champion's team has a slight lead, 90% of the takedown bounty is suppressed; if the champion's team has a moderate lead, 60% of the takedown bounty is awarded; if the champion's team has a significant lead, 90% of the takedown bounty is awarded; if the champion's team has a decisive lead, the full takedown bounty is awarded.

Neutral： 

• Neutral means that when a champion is taken down, the killer receives the base gold, unaffected by bounty. 
• While a champion is in the Neutral state, every 3 gold earned through kills and assists accumulates 1 gold.
• While a champion is in the Neutral state, every 20 gold earned through minions, jungle monsters, support items, Smite, etc. accumulates 1 gold.
• While a champion is in the Neutral state, for every 3.5 gold granted to the killer or assister upon death, the champion's base bounty is reduced by 1 gold.

Negative Bounty： 

• Negative Bounty means that when a champion is killed, the killer receives reduced base gold (unchanged).
• Negative Bounty is no longer based on consecutive deaths.
• Negative Bounty is no longer reset after getting a takedown.
• While a champion is in the Negative Bounty state, every 3 gold earned through kills and assists increases their bounty by 1 gold. Takedown gold is included when calculating bounty.
• While a champion is in the Negative Bounty state, every 7 gold earned through minions, jungle monsters, support items, Smite, etc. accumulates 1 bounty.
• While a champion is in the Negative Bounty state, for every 3.5 gold granted to the killer or person who got an assist upon death, the champion's base bounty is reduced by 1 gold. 

Battlefield Tempo Adjustments 

We're aligning major system changes with key map objectives to create clearer game phases and a more consistent match flow. As Turret Plates fall and major objectives spawn, you'll also see corresponding changes to minion waves, turrets, and lane pressure, making each stage of the game easier to recognize and play around.

The corresponding changes are as follows (unless otherwise specified, the maximum value of each scaling effect remains unchanged):

• Time for Cannon Minions and Siege Minions to reach their maximum bonus damage against minions: 12:00 → 11:00 
• Time for Super Minions to reach their maximum bonus damage against other minions: 20 minutes → 19 minutes
• Time for all turrets to reach their maximum Attack Damage: 20 minutes → 19 minutes
• Maximum bonus Attack Damage gained by all turrets: 125 → 130
• Time when the Base’s Shield begins to decay: 12 minutes → 11 minutes
• Time for the Base to reach its maximum Attack Damage: 20 minutes → 18 minutes 30 seconds
• End time of the reduced damage dealt by Baron lane minions to minions: 7 minutes → 6 minutes
• Spawn time of the first Scryer's Bloom in the base: 7 minutes → 6 minutes

Other Adjustments 

Ahri VGU 

As one of Wild Rift's most iconic champions, Ahri has received a visual update built with our latest art and technology. This refresh brings the Nine-Tailed Fox to life with higher visual fidelity while preserving the charm that has made her a fan favorite for years.

• A total of 12 skins, including Ahri's base skin, along with 7 chromas and 1 Wild Pass upgrade, will receive a visual update.
• The update spans four major areas: model rebuild, skeleton rework, VFX overhaul, and animation refinement.

[Removed] Soulflowers 

Soulflowers were originally introduced to help players recover from a losing lane, but they haven't delivered the impact we intended. Their value has often felt too low for players who are behind while also creating frustration for those with a lead. We're simplifying the system and will continue improving the laning experience through more direct comeback mechanics, allowing players to focus more on combat and strategy.

Item data Tracking System 

We've added item data tracking so you can clearly see the value their items provide throughout a match.

• [New] During or after a match, players can tap an item in their inventory to view the value generated by that item.

End-of-Match system Improvements 

We've updated the post-death screen with a more detailed combat recap. It now provides a clearer breakdown of damage sources, damage types, and other key combat information, making it easier to adapt your playstyle and item builds throughout the match.

Champion Select Screen Optimization 

Champion Select in Draft Pick now features Skin Showcase Animations. Selecting a champion will play the chosen skin's unique animation, highlighting its personality and visual style before the match begins.

You can tap the champion display at any time to skip the animation. After it finishes, the screen returns to the standard champion view, where Pose and Chroma previews remain available.

This feature is enabled by default on supported devices and can be toggled in Settings → General. Availability is based on device performance.

In-Game Shop interface Improvements 

We've optimized the in-game shop interface to make item descriptions clearer and display more information on a single page, reducing the need for excessive scrolling. 

Damage Amplification Mechanic Update 

We're making true damage interactions more consistent across the game. Effects from items and runes that grant percentage-based damage amplification or damage reduction will now also apply to true damage.

Seasonal Rift Update 

[Map Update] Ionia: Summer Rift

Summer has arrived on the Ionia Rift! The snow has melted, waterfalls and rivers are flowing once again, and the landscape is alive with blooming lotus flowers, swaying vegetation, and vibrant wildlife. Updated lighting and warm seasonal colors bring a fresh new look to the Rift, creating a more lively and immersive summer experience. We hope you enjoy exploring the refreshed Ionia Rift all season long.

Vision Score System 

We're introducing the new Vision Score system to help you better track your impact on vision control throughout each match. Earn Vision Score by placing and clearing wards, then use it to gauge your contribution and identify opportunities to improve.

• [New] Players can now view their Vision Score in real time on the in-game scoreboard.

Champion Displacement Interrupt Rule Update 

New Crowd Control Type: Knockdown 

• This type of Crowd Control is specifically designed to interrupt dashes and forced movement. Dash interruption is no longer tied to crowd control effects such as stuns, helping to avoid interaction issues in certain situations. We've updated the crowd control effects of the following champions so they now correctly interrupt enemy dashes:
  • Ahri – (3) Charm
  • Veigar – (3) Event Horizon
  • Amumu – (4) Curse of the Sad Mummy
  • Jinx – (3) Flame Chompers!
  • Lissandra – (4) Frozen Tomb
  • Vex – (Passive) Doom 'n Gloom
  • Viktor – (2) Gravity Field
  • Warwick – (4) Infinite Duress
  • Yone – (4) Fate Sealed
  • Poppy – (2) Steadfast Presence

Battlefest Season S6 begins on July 10, 2026 at 03:00 UTC, bringing a fresh season of chaotic fun and new rewards! Unlock the all-new Purple Garlic Lulu skin and its exclusive pose as you progress through the reward track. This season also introduces the Battlefest All-Access Chest, giving you another chance to obtain previous Battlefest grand rewards.

Gameplay Adjustments 

AAA ARAM

Thank you to everyone who played AAA ARAM and shared feedback, especially those who participated on the test server. Your reports and suggestions helped us improve class and Augment balance while identifying numerous issues ahead of launch. As AAA ARAM rolls out to all players, we'll continue monitoring the mode and making long-term improvements based on your feedback. We hope you'll keep sharing your experiences as we refine the mode together.

Welcome to the Elemental Season of AAA ARAM!

New Augments 

• We have added six Augments in the Elemental series, hoping each class can gain a more interesting gameplay experience while also giving players more opportunities to create powerful cross-series combinations.
• In addition, we've added the Abstract-series Augments, along with more powerful standalone Augments. For example, Conjurer's Strike triggers a crowd control effect when you summon a unit with Health, allowing champions like Zyra to benefit from it. Ultimately, we hope this gives champions with different strengths more opportunities to shine. 

What about the old Augments? 

• We've reworked some classic Augments. For example, Whale can now unlock more interesting items; Celestial Body grants an additional Augment selection reroll when it is chosen by the team's only frontliner; and some Augments, such as Eureka, now feature a new Enhancement mechanic. When you obtain these Augments, they will randomly receive 1–10 Empowerment levels. The higher the Empowerment level, the stronger the Augment's stats. 
  • At the same time, we've also adjusted the values of some classic Augments in hopes of creating more opportunities for counterplay. 

Item Adjustments 

Void Staff

• This item's effects have been synchronized with the Ranked version.

Stormsurge

• This item's effects have been synchronized with the Ranked version.

Blackfire Torch

• This item's effects have been synchronized with the Ranked version.

Psychic Projector

• We want Mage Tank players to gain more value from the bonus Health and Ability Power they get through Augments or other gameplay mechanics, strengthening their ability to dominate in Adventure Modes. This item remains available in Howling Abyss, Unbound Frenzy, and Arena, with slight adjustments to its stats.

Awakened Soulstealer

We want players to be able to obtain some Ability Haste from items more easily to support Ability Haste-focused builds: This item remains available in Howling Abyss, Turbocharged Rift, Unbound Frenzy, and Arena, with slight adjustments to its stats.

Redemption

We want support players to trigger their healing effects more easily, allowing them to focus on building their Augments and engaging in combat through other gameplay mechanics. When they want to provide healing to activate certain Augment effects, all they need to do is stay close to their teammates.

SYSTEM 

NEW 

HONORARY MEDAL SYSTEM

Achievements have been reworked into the new Honorary Medal system. Each medal has its own unique unlock requirements, with some hidden medals waiting to be discovered. Once earned, medals are permanently yours, and you can display up to six on your profile to show off your accomplishments.

“Omnichamp”

We're introducing the new Omnichamp system to better support players looking to master a wide variety of champions. Progress through the system to earn exclusive Honor icons as you expand your champion pool. You can find Omnichamp in the former Master of Versatility interface.

VIOLATION PENALTY

To align with the new “Ranked Energy - Rank” progression system, the rules for violation penalties in Ranked are being updated as well. The specific changes are as follows:

Violation Energy Deduction 

• Players found committing Ranked violations will lose Ranked Energy based on the severity of the offense. If the penalty would cause an immediate loss of Marks, the excess will instead be stored as Pending Ranked Energy Deduction.
• Pending Ranked Energy Deduction has a maximum limit. Once that limit is reached, any additional penalties will directly reduce Ranked Energy.

Pending Energy Deduction 

• If you have Pending Ranked Energy Deduction, any Ranked Energy earned from Ranked wins will first be used to repay the outstanding amount. Once the pending deduction has been fully cleared, you'll begin earning Ranked Energy normally again.

Appeals and View 

• If you disagree with a violation ruling, you may submit an appeal through reputation system → Player Behavior Missions → Player Behavior Score Appeal Portal. If the appeal succeeds, the system will return the deducted Ranked Energy and clear the corresponding pending Ranked Energy Deduction. 
• Enter the mode selection screen → Ranked → Tap the Ranked Energy bar to view your current pending Ranked Energy deduction balance and its change history for the past 30 days. 

Auto-uninstallation System

We are adding auto-uninstallation for around-game champions and skin-related resources such as models and High-Tier Pose videos. When the game client's disk usage reaches a certain threshold, the system will start the auto-uninstallation process.

Highlights Auto-uninstallation Feature

To reduce storage usage, the maximum number of saved highlight videos has been reduced from 100 to 50. If you exceed the new limit after updating, you'll be prompted to delete videos the first time you log in. You can remove them manually, or the system will automatically delete the oldest highlights on your next login.

SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS

RANKED RULES FOR SOVEREIGN AND ABOVE 

At Sovereign and above, every 40 Marks is considered one major rank. In full parties, the rank difference can span up to 2 major tiers. For all other ranked parties, the rank difference can span up to 1 major tier.

CACHE CLEANUP 

We optimized the cache clearing function in Settings so you can manually delete certain cache files generated while the game client is running, helping solve excessive disk usage by the client. 

LOADOUT SYSTEM 

The Loadout system now includes an ARAM loadout, supporting separate editing for items, Augments, and summoner spells.

FRIENDSHIP STORE

The Friendship Chest now includes Cottontail Lillia skin drops.

MATCHMAKING CHAMPION SCORE CAP

The obtainable Champion Score cap in Matchmade mode has been adjusted.

RANKED REWARD 

In line with the Ranked revamp, a small number of item-card rewards in Ranked rewards have been adjusted.

STELLACORE STATS 

The obtainable cap for Ranked Legendary Stellacore has been increased from 8 per season to 10.

BUTTON UI SKIN FEATURE OPTIMIZATION 

Button UI Skins now support additional compatible skins. Head to Collection → In-Game Personalization → Button UI Skins, then tap Compatible Skins to view and unlock new customization options.
