We're nearing the release of the highly-anticipated patch 4.1 in Wild Rift. But before we get there, we've got another one to go through - Patch 4.0c. It wraps up the game-changing update we started the year with.

Naturally, this new patch brought in several balance changes to the game. The hardest of which were nerfs that affected newly-introduced champions Zeri and Zoe.

However, it wasn't all bad in the update. It also brought in the Battle Academia Leona and Battle Principal Yuumi skins and added the limited-time Duels game mode.

With that said, let's review the patch 4.0c balance changes in Wild Rift.
