Wild Rift Patch 2.2b Notes: Rengar, Kha'Zix and Masters of the Hunt (April 2021)

Rengar and Kha'Zix, long awaited by many Wild Rift players, have finally arrived in the Rift, and with them the Masters of the Hunt event has begun. Adding another dimension to the competition with the God-King Garen and Darius skins, Riot Games also did not neglect to tackle the Dragon Lane and a number of balance changes. Here are the Wild Rift 2.2b patch notes...

New Champions Added to Wild Rift

Rengar

Rengar, the trophy hunter, comes to the Rift to track and hunt dangerous creatures. In fact, he does these hunts not to satisfy his hunger but purely for the thrill, and he is impatient to hunt Kha'Zix, who gouged out his eye in the past.

Kha'Zix

Kha'Zix, who comes from the middle of nowhere, evolved and adapted over time like the void itself. Every hunt he failed pushed Kha'Zix to become better, and over time he began to do everything by plan, striking fear into the hearts of his prey. Kha'Zix, one of the stars of the master hunters event, comes with the new patch to spread fear across the Rift.

Wild Rift Patch 2.2b and New Events

Masters of the Hunt

The Masters of the Hunt event, announced in the Wild Rift 2.2a patch notes, has officially arrived with Wild Rift Patch 2.2b! From May 6, the Rift will become more dangerous, and in the coming days we will watch how the two master hunters, Rengar and Kha'Zix, hunt each other.

Fierce Duel

The Fierce Duel mechanic arrives in Patch 2.2b as part of the Masters of the Hunt event. However, even after the Masters of the Hunt event ends, the Fierce Duel mechanic will remain a part of Wild Rift, continuing as a result of the two master hunters' clash in the Rift.

The details of the Fierce Duel mechanic are:

• Both Rengar and Kha'Zix must be above level 13.
• Neither must have dealt damage to or taken damage from champions in the last 5 seconds.
• Both must be alive.
• Both must be at least 16 units away from each other.

The winner of the duel gets a bonus for the rest of the game:

• If Rengar wins the duel, he automatically gains a Ferocity stack during Thrill of the Hunt (Ult).
• If Kha'Zix wins the duel, he gains an additional evolution point.

For a champion to win the Fierce Duel, they must kill the opponent within 3 seconds after taking damage from the opposing champion.
