League of Legends: Wild Rift characters, ranked by tier

Below, we have ranked every League of Legends: Wild Rift character SS through C-tier. The ranks have been decided based on the character’s overall stats, abilities, attacks, and possible roles in combat. 

If your favorite character is in C-tier right now, don’t worry too much – meta changes do happen with Wild Rift, so they may end up getting shuffled around. Make sure to check back to keep up to date with the best characters.

SS-tier characters in League of Legends: Wild Rift

The Wild Rift characters below are the best of the best right now; whether you’re a solo lane player or a support player, there’ll be a solid pick for you. If you’ve not played any of the characters in this tier, it’s worth brushing up on their skills and seeing if they’re a match for your play style.

S-tier characters in League of Legends: Wild Rift

While these characters might not be best in class in League of Legends: Wild Rift right now, they’re still exceptionally fun and promising in battle.

Players who prefer jungle characters will find their top picks here. Currently, there are no jungle characters who made it into the top tier, but there are a few solid options in S-tier, like Rammus and Lee Sin.

A-tier characters in League of Legends: Wild Rift

The characters in the Wild Rift A-tier are strong and fun to play, but they don’t quite outshine those in the tiers above. They’re still leagues ahead of the other characters in the game, though.

B-tier characters in League of Legends: Wild Rift

B-tier characters aren’t terrible by any means – they can be strong when played to their full potential and paired with a good team. These characters aren’t in prime position right now, though, meaning you may end up at a disadvantage unless you know their toolkit well.

C-tier characters in League of Legends: Wild Rift

Unless you’re a diehard fan of a character in the C-tier, it’s worth steering clear of these picks. They’re not broken, but they’re not in a good state either. Regardless of your favorite role, there’ll be a better pick for you in another tier.

League of Legends: Wild Rift best characters change based on role

The best characters in League of Legends: Wild Rift change dramatically based on the role being played. This is important to think about when selecting a character to play. There are five roles that characters can take on: Solo Lane, Jungle, Duo Lane, Mid Lane, and Support. While Ahri is a fantastic Mid Lane, she won’t necessarily be a good option in any other space.

Other characters are more versatile, appearing at the top of numerous tiers in a variety of roles. Players will want to make sure that they don’t pick a character at the S-tier rank above without looking at what role they excel in, and which roles they may not be as good a fit for.

On the flip side, a player who excels with a particular role may be able to take a B-tier character and make them outshine an A-tier character, simply through their skill level.

League of Legends: Wild Rift players should build teams based on personal skills

It is important to learn to play several of the top characters in League of Legends: Wild Rift. Players who stick to a single character and role will be more limited, while those who learn to play several different characters and roles will be able to flex to changes in the meta and challenges during matches and events.

While many eSports players and LoL experts are known for gameplay in specific roles, playing a variety of roles and characters will not just be useful when selecting characters, but when fighting against them in matches.
