A few weeks after the launch of the Wild Rift 2.5 update, Riot has released the next iteration of the current patch i.e. 2.5a. The new update brings a hefty of new content including the new Caitlyn champion, underworld-themed skins, mysterious event, and some champion balance changes.
Here are the complete patch notes of the Wild Rift 2.5a update.
New Champions
Caitlyn, The Sherrif of Piltover
Renowned as its finest peacekeeper, Caitlyn is also Piltover’s best shot at ridding the city of its elusive criminal elements. She is often paired with Vi, acting as a cool counterpoint to her partner’s more impetuous nature. Even though she carries a one-of-a-kind hextech rifle, Caitlyn’s most powerful weapon is her superior intellect, allowing her to lay elaborate traps for any lawbreakers foolish enough to operate in the City of Progress.
Caitlyn will be released on November 9 at 00:01 UTC.
Jayce, The Defender of Tomorrow
Jayce is a brilliant inventor who has pledged his life to the defense of Piltover and its unyielding pursuit of progress. With his transforming hextech hammer in hand, Jayce uses his strength, courage, and considerable intelligence to protect his hometown. While revered throughout the city as a hero, he hasn’t taken well to the attention heroism brings. Still, Jayce’s heart is in the right place, and even those who envy his natural skills are grateful for his protection in the City of Progress.
Jayce will be released on November 9 at 00:01 UTC.
