Cover-Credits:
Riot Games confirmed the release of a new feature called Guilds which opens up a ton of opportunities for League of Legends: Wild Rift players to socialize and play with like-minded players. This new feature is set to arrive alongside the Wild Rift Patch 2.5 update. The Guild system’s main goal is not only limited to improving the competitive drive of players with its Guild vs Guild system, but rather it is also a hub for communities with different interests, whether it be casual or competitive. The new Guild feature in Wild Rift also offers customizable profiles, specialized social feeds, versatile management settings, and much more.
What are Wild Rift Guilds?
The new Guild system in Wild Rift allows players with varied interests to create or join communities. Similar to other game titles’ Guild systems, it also offers a Guild vs Guild battle which resets every week. Winning or participating in matches with guildmates will yield generous rewards and will help bolster the Guild’s in-game progress.
Language barrier will not be a problem for players as newly created Guilds’ language is automatically set to the Guild Leader’s server location. However, this can be freely adjusted to open more doors to a variety of cultures and languages.
The new Guild feature in Wild Rift shall serve as small bubbles of communities for players to socialize with each other. Each Guild may have an entirely different purpose, other than winning ranked matches.
Guild name, description, and tags
Guilds can share the same name. However, each Guild cannot have similar tags (Ex. TNC, OMG, EVOS). Each tag can only contain 2-5 characters. Guild tags are also currently the only way to search for your desired guild, though you can use filters to narrow down the results.
The description section should explain the Guild’s goals and what it truly stands for. This is a perfect way to get people’s attention and let them know what sort of community they will be joining.
Guild icons
More icons can be unlocked as the Guild makes progress. These Guild icons can be switched anytime with no limitations whatsoever.
Guild privacy levels
Guilds can choose to be open to the public, where everyone can freely join, or opt to be a private Guild, where every applicant needs to be approved before joining.
Any player can join or invite other players to join public Guilds. However, each Guild can only hold a limited amount of players. Players who get kicked out of the guild will be listed in the kick history and will not be able to join unless their name is removed from the ban list.
Protected Guilds are more exclusive and will require an invitation from officers of the Guild or an application must be sent and once approved, one can join the guild. Players can apply to up to 20 protected guilds at a time. If one of the Guilds accepts your application, all other applications you requested will be removed. If a Guild is already at full capacity, players can still apply and can be approved when there is a vacancy or the Guild expands its member capacity. However, these applications will expire after a week.
Topic Labels
To help players find the Guild that is better suited to their playstyle, topic labels will be introduced. These labels will help players filter out Guilds that they want to join. There can only be three topic labels for each Guild.
Listed below are the topic labels for Guilds:
Party Up
Inclusive
Community
Daily
Casual
Beginner Friendly
Chat
Voice
Ranked Climb
Highly Active
Leaderboards
Elite
Guild Feed
Guildmates can be given permission to share their in-game achievements and other updates to the Guild Feed. Every member of the Guild can see the Guild Feed. However, players outside the Guild will not be able to see it, unless the leader sets it to public.
Member List
The list of members can be made public or private by the leader and its officials. Members can check on their guildmates anytime which includes their ranks, preferred role, and in-game status.
Guild Chat
One of the most important features of the Guild system in Wild Rift is the Guild chat and any member of the Guild can communicate through the Guild chat.
How to join Guilds in Wild Rift

If you're looking to join your friend's guild, just tap their name on your friend list, head to their profile, select their Guild, and either apply or join right away depending on the privacy settings.
