Wild Rift Tier List

Complete S+/S/A/B role ranking. The best champions to climb ranked right now. Last updated: Patch 7.2d — ranked tier list reviewed for Wild Rift.

Who are the best champions in Wild Rift right now?

As of Patch 7.2d, the strongest picks are Malphite (Top), Vi (Jungle), Syndra (Mid), Smolder (ADC) and Sona (Support). The tier list below ranks every champion from S+ to C — recomputed each patch from Challenger win rates, pick rates and expert consensus.

Priority picks this patch

On patch 7.2d, the meta revolves around aggressive dive compositions — early fights, constant pressure. Baron lane favours fighters and bruisers who win trades through raw power. The Jungle sets the pace: fast-clearing champions force skirmishes before level 5. In Mid, mobile assassins and fighters outpace nerfed control mages. The ADC role rewards high attack-speed scaling — late-game physical damage is a decisive win condition. Support is at its peak — defensive picks excel at peeling against the meta's relentless dive pressure.

Which Champions Should You Pick For Your Goal?

Tier List FAQ

Who is the best Wild Rift champion right now?

There is no single universal best pick. The S+ champions on this page are the most reliable patch leaders by role, ranked impact, and draft influence.

What is the best lane to climb ranked with?

Jungle and Mid usually have the strongest tempo impact, but the best lane to climb with is still the one where you can play a mastered pool consistently.

Should you always play S+ champions?

No. S+ means very high theoretical value, but mastery, matchup, draft, and solo queue comfort still matter before locking a champion.

How often is the tier list updated?

The page is reviewed on every meaningful patch and adjusted whenever balance changes materially shift role hierarchy or priority picks.

How should you choose a champion for your role?

Start from the role's main job: lane pressure, engage, frontline, scaling, peel, or pick potential. Then narrow the choice based on your goal and your mastery level.

Is this tier list built for solo queue?

Yes. The ranking prioritizes picks that convert well in ranked: stability, execution, objective impact, snowball potential, and value without perfect coordination.
