Riot Games have released the patch notes for the upcoming Patch 2.4b Update in Wild Rift. It will have a lot of things in content. Apart from the two new champions, several champions and items have received some heavy buffs and nerfs. Let us take a look at the patch notes in detail.
New champions
This update will see the arrival of two new champions inside the game in the form of Brand and Nunu and Willump. Both the characters are set to release on the 9th of September, 2021 at 00:01 UTC.
Brand, The Burning Vengeance
Once a tribesman of the icy Freljord named Kegan Rodhe, the creature known as Brand is a lesson in the temptation of greater power. Seeking one of the legendary World Runes, Kegan betrayed his companions and seized it for himself—and, in an instant, the man was no more. His soul burned away, his body a vessel of living flame, Brand now roams Valoran in search of other Runes, swearing revenge for wrongs he could not have suffered in a dozen mortal lifetimes

Nunu and Willump, The Boy and his Yeti
Once upon a time, there was a boy who wanted to prove he was a hero by slaying a fearsome monster—only to discover that the beast, a lonely and magical yeti, merely needed a friend. Bound together by ancient power and a shared love of snowballs, Nunu and Willump now ramble wildly across the Freljord, breathing life into imagined adventures. They hope that somewhere out there, they will find Nunu’s mother. If they can save her, maybe they will be heroes after all…
