Riot has updated Wild Rift once again with a new batch of balance changes. Patch 4.0b builds upon the momentum left by the devs at the beginning of patch 4.0 when they aimed to make Tank items more effective and resilient.

With that in mind, the new balance changes largely focused on reducing some items' costs and slightly boosting their passives. But, that's not all. Champions also received key buffs, nerfs, and adjustments too. The standout changes include those that affected Jarvan IV, Yuumi, and Morgana.

Besides these buffs and nerfs, Zeri was finally added to the game. The 'Duel' game mode will also be made available in Wild Rift between February 23 and March 16.
