In this article, we are going to discuss and preview to you the upcoming champions in Wild Rift.

We’ll cover each champion’s abilities and how to play them.

The champion abilities may differ a bit from when they get released but we will try to be as accurate as we can. 

The upcoming Wild Rift champions are:

• Shen
• Karma

Shen and Karma will likely be released in patch 3.1.

Shen, the Eye of Twillight

Among the secretive, Ionian warriors known as the Kinkou, Shen serves as their leader, the Eye of Twilight. He longs to remain free from the confusion of emotion, prejudice, and ego, and walks the unseen path of dispassionate judgment between the spirit realm and the physical world. Tasked with enforcing the equilibrium between them, Shen wields blades of steel and arcane energy against any who would threaten it.

Abilities

• Passive, Ki Barrier: After casting a spell, Shen gets a shield. Affecting other champions reduces the cooldown of this effect.
• Ability (1), Twilight Assault: Shen recalls his spirit blade to attack with it, dealing damage based on the target’s max health. The attacks are greatly empowered if it collides with an enemy champion, and all collided enemies are slowed while running away from Shen.

• Ability (2), Spirit’s Refuge: Attacks that would hit Shen or his allies near his spirit blade are blocked.

• Ability (3), Shadow Dash: Shen dashes in a direction, taunting enemies in his path.

• Ultimate, Stand United: Shen shields target allied champion from incoming damage, and soon after teleports to their location.

Playstyle

Shen’s playstyle is pretty simple since the only thing you have to achieve is to survive the first 5 levels on the lane to be able to teleport with your ultimate and help out your team.

In the mid and late game, you are practically split pushing and waiting for your team to start a fight so you can use your ultimate to join them.

Karma, The Enlightened One

No mortal exemplifies the spiritual traditions of Ionia more than Karma. She is the living embodiment of an ancient soul reincarnated countless times, carrying all her accumulated memories into each new life, and blessed with power that few can comprehend. She has done her best to guide her people in recent times of crisis, though she knows that peace and harmony may come only at a considerable cost—both to her, and to the land she holds most dear.

Abilities

• Passive, Gathering Fire: After using 5 spells or attacks, Karma’s next ability will be enhanced.

• Ability (1), Inner Flame: Karma sends forth a ball of spirit energy that explodes and deals damage upon hitting an enemy unit. Mantra Bonus: In addition to the explosion, Mantra increases the destructive power of her Inner Flame, creating a cataclysm that deals damage after a short delay.

• Ability (2), Focused Resolve: Karma creates a tether between herself and a targeted enemy, dealing damage and revealing them. If the tether is not broken, the enemy will be rooted and damaged again. Mantra Bonus: Karma strengthens the link, healing herself and extending the root duration.

• Ability (3), Inspire: Karma summons a protective shield that absorbs incoming damage and increases the Move Speed of the protected ally. Mantra Bonus: Energy radiates out from her target, strengthening the initial shield and applying Inspire to nearby allied champions.

• Ultimate, Mantra: Karma empowers her next ability to do an additional effect. Mantra is available at level 1 and does not require a skill point.

Playstyle

Karma is basically enchanter support that is able to deal a lot of damage during the early stages of the laning phase. You are basically poking from far away and trying to shield your ADC whenever you can.

In the team fights you can speed boost your team to engage a fight or just shield your whole team if you get engaged by the enemy team.

Stay tuned for more previews of upcoming new Wild Rift champion releases. If you have any comments, questions, or feedback leave them below. Good luck climbing and see you soon Summoner!

The post New Wild Rift Champion Previews: Shen and Karma appeared first on Mobalytics.

In the upcoming patches, Riot will introduce the Elemental Dragons and the Dragonsoul. These Dragons take over the map and are able to change the terrain. Each Dragon offers different buffs and souls. These dragons already exist in Wild Rift but they give different buffs and have no soul.

There are already existing Dragons in Wild Rift but these will change the game and have a huge impact on how every game is played out. They will adapt what they already have in their original gaming title League of Legends tweak it a little bit and implement it into Wild Rift.

Dragons

Fire Drake

The Fire Drake is a red Dragon that gives your whole team currently 8% more damage, but that will be changed to extra AD and AP once they release the elemental map. The Dragon soul gives every 3rd auto-attack or ability an AOE explosion that can deal a lot of damage depending on the user of it.

The whole terrain changes and it opens up the whole map. Bushes disappear at the red buff and the dragon pit opens up way more. Some walls around the map split up or disappear and make more space overall. This makes it for champions like Rengar really hard to play since there are fewer bushes to use in the jungle, but on the other hand, it makes life easier for Champions with high movement speed and less mobility.

Mountain Drake

The Mountain Dragon gives currently a shield that with 6% of maximum health as a shield after 5 seconds of not taking damage. This will be changed to extra armor and magic resistance. In addition to that there will be a soul that will give the shield this time around.

The same as with every other dragon the terrain is changing if there is a Mountain soul available to obtain. There are walls appearing around the map and the map is getting denser. This whole change makes some champions being more way more powerful once they use the walls.

Cloud Dragon

This drake is currently Grants 7.5% bonus movement speed, doubled to 15% when out-of-combat. That will change a little bit once they release the new one since it will give slow resistance on top of that. The cloud soul will give a huge movement speed buff once you activate your ultimate.

The terrain doesn’t really change on this dragon but it creates wind currents in the Jungle and in the dragon pit making everyone who steps into that area gain a ton of movement speed. Almost any champion can benefit from this except those that have a lot of skill shots and try to fight in that area.

Ocean Dragon

The Ocean drake is currently granting 8% Physical Vamp and Magical Vamp. That will change completely and will be health regen. The cloud soul will give a huge movement speed buff once you activate your ultimate. The soul will be the one that is going to give Physical and Magical Vamp.

The terrain changes a lot with this soul activated. There are way more bushes almost everywhere making it a dream for every assassin player, especially for Rengar mains. It makes everything so hard to ward and have vision.

Conclusion

These Dragon changes will for sure shake the meta as a whole. Right now there are some dragons that are overpowered and the whole game revolves around them, on the other hand, there are some dragons that are almost useless.

This will bring new fresh air into Wild Rift and change the game. It will make things more interesting and not so stale since we have the same dragons for seasons now.
