The 3.0 patch notes for League of Legends: Wild Rift have been released, and along with a brand-new Champion comes a new way to play LoL on the go.
The new hero is Sett, a leader in the Ionian criminal underground. Sett is a Fighter class champion, using abilities like Knuckle Down to buff his attacks and Facebreaker to attack multiple enemies at once. Sett joins the Wild Rift roster on January 26.
Also coming to Wild Rift in the 3.0 patch is a returning mode called Ultra Rapid Fire (URF). This is a faster, more streamlined version of the core League of Legends experience that allows Champions to access their special attacks more often than usual, resulting in full matches running about half as long as usual. The URF map this time around will have a Lunar New Year theme, which will also be celebrated through limited time skins and accessories. The full League of Legends: Wild Rift 3.0 patch notes are below.
League of Legends: Wild Rift launched in March 2021 as a mobile alternative for the extremely popular League of Legends. The game features the same 5v5 multiplayer online battle arena as its predecessor, only with a smaller roster and multiple gameplay changes, including smaller maps and different item usage.

New Champion
Sett, The Boss
A leader of Ionia’s growing criminal underworld, Sett rose to prominence in the wake of the war with Noxus. Though he began as a humble challenger in the fighting pits of Navori, he quickly gained notoriety for his savage strength, and his ability to take seemingly endless amounts of punishment. Now, having climbed through the ranks of local combatants, Sett has muscled to the top, reigning over the pits he once fought in. Sett will be released on January 26 at 00:01 UTC.
New Features

Wuju like to go on a new adventure with your guildies? If so the time is now, because Guild vs Guild S2 is here and we’re heading to Ionia! We think this new location’s scenery will charm you, but a new location doesn’t just mean new scenery. It also means new rivalries to explore, a new Trophy Track filled with Ionian goodies, and of course new friends to be made!
Along with the new season we’ve also made some updates to Trophy Points, making them a bit easier to earn:
- 3 group community missions → 2 group community missions

- Trophy Track levels 1-25 lowered by 25%
Guild vs Guild Season 2 will be available on January 24 00:01 UTC.

We’re bringing back a test version of voice chat with your premade team! If we see issues, we will be taking it back into the lab before we go worldwide. We are starting offin the Americas, with other regions to follow. Please read more about the return of voice chat in our recent post, here!
Gifting Changes
We recently made some changes to how gifting works to combat fraudulent purchases.
- Daily Gifting Cap: 5 per day → 2 per day
- Friend Requirement: 72 hours being friends → 2 weeks being friends
Wild Pass
We wanted this Wild Pass to pack a punch and blow everyone away. We thought the best way to do that would be with some sort of heroic gesture or maybe even a grand entrance. Thankfully the Winds of War gave us a hand with that, and have blown Hexplorer Galio right into this Wild Pass! He’ll be your reward for completing it, and there are plenty of other rewards along the way we hope you’ll be a fan of too. Wind will this Wild Pass be available? Wild Pass will be available on Jan 19 at 00:01 UTC.
New Modes
Ultra Rapid Fire (URF) - It’s time to get those spatulas out and start doing your thumb exercises, because Ultra Rapid Fire Mode (URF) is making its return! URF’s map will also be decked out for the Lunar New Year. URF will have the same lanterns, banners, and firecrackers featured on Summoner’s Rift, but we’ve also given the cannons and their effects a festive look!

Events
Name That Champion! - It’s Evelynn. It’s definitely Evelynn. Or… it’s Ahri. Wait, no. It’s Olaf! Olaf is my final guess…I think? Either way, name that champion returns with mini games, rewards, and more guesses for you to take that are surely better than ours.

- The Lunar Banquet event begins January 26 at 00:01 UTC
Champion Changes
Dr. Mundo
The Madman of Zaun has been loose on the Rift, tearing through his opponents in the Baron Lane left and right. While we still want Dr. Mundo to go where he pleases, he’s a bit too resilient to poke and winning some fights he shouldn’t, so we are dialing his madness back just a tad.
- Base Stats
- Base health regeneration: 12 → 9
- Health regeneration per level: 0.81 → 0.68
Ezreal
Ezreal’s damage has been lacking a bit. We want him to shift his way back into that premier caster marksman spot, so we’re giving him some more damage on his Mystic Shot.
- (1) Mystic Shot
- AD ratio: 110% → 120%
Jax
Jax has been dominating the jungle in highly skilled games. To combat this, we are scaling his passive differently to slow down his clear speed, while giving him some extra health regeneration to help his solo laning.
- Base Stats
- Base health regeneration: 9 → 12
- Health regeneration growth: 0.55 → 0.81
- (P) Relentless Assault
- Attack Speed per stack: 2.4%+ level × 0.6% → 3/5.5/8/10.5% (at levels 1/5/9/13)
Kayle
While we want Kayle to outs-kayle her opponents, she's still just a bit too strong in the late game. We want her to be a bit more vulnerable to burst later on, so we’re bringing down her scaling durability as well as some of her damage.
