Mordekaiser is an ancient necromancer who has died and been reborn so many times that his origins are shrouded in mystery. His abilities include Harvester of Souls, Death's Grasp, and Realm of Death, allowing him to drain the life essence of his enemies and command an army of undead minions.

Breaking the trend of grim additions, Milio is a warm-hearted, healing-focused young man who fights to help his family escape their exile. His abilities include Soothing Light, Resonating Strings, and Stellar Gospel, enabling him to heal allies, buff them with shields, and deal damage to enemies.

Alongside the new champions, the Hex Rift patch introduces a new Hextech-themed Summoner's Rift with updated NPCs and a fresh coat of magitech paint. The patch also features balance changes, bug fixes, and a host of new skins to enhance the gameplay experience.

In addition to the new champions, Rengar the Pridestalker and Kayle the Righteous are receiving major overhauls to their abilities and playstyles. These updates aim to modernize their kits and make them more competitive in the current meta.

The Hex Rift patch also includes a wide range of new skins for existing champions, including Hextech Xerath, Marauder Jax, and Unbound Yasuo. These skins not only provide a fresh cosmetic look but also offer unique sound effects and animations to further enhance the gameplay experience.

The Hex Rift patch is scheduled to go live on July 18th, bringing the new champions, map overhaul, and skins to Wild Rift players worldwide. Players can download the update via the Google Play Store, App Store, or other official distribution channels.
