Names, titles, classes, difficulty and ability names are read off Riot's official Wild Rift site. Lanes are this site's filing; items and runes are Wild Rift's shop and rune tree; the derived sample itself was last built on patch 7.3b. Every rate is a derived sample — Riot publishes no Wild Rift API, and nothing on this page presents one as measured. Read 2026-10-18.
