Wild Rift 2.3b patch notes: Lucian and Senna debut, Sentinels of Light event, new skins, accessories and more

After two weeks of great anticipation, and with a massive event already teased for every game in Riot’s repertoire, the patch notes for the update 2.3b of League of Legends: Wild Rift have finally been released.

While this update will make some minor changes to a bunch of champions, just to balance the metagame, the main feature of the patch will bring the Black Mist into the game, as the Ruined King continues its advance through the realms of Runeterra.

Lucian and Senna make their debut

To challenge the power of Viego, and stop his path of vengeance, two new champions will arrive to the game to fight against the Ruin, and ready to battle any dark entity who opposes the light.

Starting with Lucian the Purifier, he is one of the Sentinels of Light, a grim hunter of undying spirits who pursues them relentlessly and annihilates them with the help of his twin relic pistols.

Merciless and single-minded, Lucian will stop at nothing to protect the living from the long-dead horrors of the Black Mist, as he fights alongside her wife, Senna

Senna the Redeemer has a long story dealing with the Black Mist, as she was once imprisoned into Thresh’s lantern, however, within it Senna learned to use the Mist, and reemerged to new life.

Now wielding darkness along with light, Senna seeks to end the Black Mist with every blast of her relic weapon, redeeming the souls lost within.

Both Lucian and Senna will be available in Wild Rift on 9th July, 2021, just in time to battle against the Ruin in the featured event of this patch.

Sentinels of Light

As the Black Mist engulfs Runeterra, an ancient order must bolster its ranks to protect the fading light. Players will join the Sentinels in their quest to stop the Ruination and witness their stories from the front line.

The Sentinels of Light event will be a multi-title global event that will be featured around all of the games within the League of Legends universe. Details for Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra and Valorant will be revealed later on.

This event will be available from 9th July.
