Both are at or above Level 13
Neither has dealt or taken champion damage within 5 seconds

Both are at least 16 units apart

The Nemesis Duel won’t activate every match, but an in-game announcement will alert everyone when it does. A champion wins the Nemesis Duel event when the opposing champion dies within 3 seconds of taking damage from the winning champion.

The first Nemeis Duel in Wild Rift is called “The Hunt is On!”

If Rengar wins, Rengar automatically gains Ferocity during (Ult) Thrill of the Hunt.
If Kha’Zix wins, Kha’Zix gains an extra evolution point.

Cooldown: 90/75/60s → 80/70/60s
