Wild Rift Katarina's Challenge: Schedule, rewards, missions, more

Wild Rift's latest v2.1a update felt like a long time coming for fans of the mobile MOBA as the patch schedule as the developers missed their two-week patch cycle.

All good things come to those that wait though, and we now have the update, bringing with it Noxian assassin, Katarina, as well as balance updates for Lulu, Olaf, Ashe and many more.

Katarina wasn't available as soon as the patch was released but now she is, available in the in-game store as well as unlockable through Katarina's Challenge - the game's newest event.

Players can also earn Blue Motes, Poro Coins, and XP boosts by completing challenges, so even if you don't grind all the way to your free champion there are plenty of reasons to get involved.

When does Katarina's Challenge start and end?

Katarina's Challenge stars on the 4th March, and runs until the 10th March, ending at 23:59 GMT.

Mission and rewards

These challenges, like their namesake, are all about being aggressive - they don't call her Sinister Blade for nothing and you will need to prove that you can live up to such a mantle by getting takedowns, doing damage and repping Noxus.
