Wild Rift patch 2.4: New champions
Akshan recently joined the League of Legends roster, and now he’s pirouetting his way into Wild Rift as well.

A powerful mage in League of Legends will arrive Wild Rift shortly, he is Brand, who will scorch all over the mobile version.
With huge AoE damage and a crowd control skill, he can create extreme chaos in every combat, especially when the map is smaller than in LoL.
The iconic jungling duo, Nunu & Willump, will also be snow-balling their way into Wild Rift. Players with an affinity for tanky champions will love seeing them added to the game’s ever-growing roster.
