First of all, let's answer the question of how you can play Wild Rift. There are four game modes that you can play. These are:

  • Ranked
  • Normal: PvP and Co-op vs. AI
  • Training: Tutorials and Practice
  • Custom: Blind Pick and Draft Pick

Ranked is the competitive heartbeat of the game. In this mode, defeats and victories are counted into your rank. If you are not prepared for this, we suggest playing Normal mode. There, you can fight against other players in non-ranked matches or a co-op mode against bots.

The Training mode allows you to play through a tutorial and to practice with the champions.

In Custom mode, you have the Blind Pick and Draft Pick modes. In Blind Pick, you can play as any champion and the lane that goes with it. In Draft Pick, you can choose a lane and then select the champions that you want to ban from the match. After this, you can take your pick from the remaining champions.
