The highly anticipated League of Legends (LoL): Wild Rift patch 2.6 preview has finally arrived, revealing a host of exciting new content for players to look forward to. The patch update will feature the two new champions Kayle and Morgana as well as the much-awaited Dr. Mundo champion rework. The Wild Rift patch 2.6 preview also revealed the arrival of one of the most iconic game modes in LoL PC, the Ultra Rapid Fire (URF) game mode for the mobile MOBA title. A new set of Battle Pass rewards will also drop later in the Wild Rift Patch 2.6 update along with a ton of new skins and themed events.

Wild Rift Patch 2.6 Preview: New champions

Morgana and Kayle

The two angelic sisters Morgana “the Fallen” and Kayle “the Righteous” will soon arrive in Wild Rift.

Morgana is a mage champion that can work well in Mid Lane or as a utility support. She has one of the longest-lasting stuns in the game which makes her a very dangerous foe to go against.

Kayle, on the other hand, is a fighter champion that scales based on her level. She gains new abilities and basic attacks upon reaching specific levels. You don’t want to deal with a level 16 Kayle in the late game.

Dr. Mundo

Dr. Mundo is the first Visual and Gameplay Update (or VGU) coming to Wild Rift! The mad doctor’s looks and gameplay have been updated along with a visual update for all his skins as well.
