LoL Patch 12.13
Riot always does a great job about the events every year and the biggest event of this year is here, so get ready! With LoL Patch 12.13 Star Guardian event will be live, which means there are many skins and fun events waiting for you!
Along with the Start Guardian event, Nilah, The Joy Unbound, will also be released in LoL Patch 12.13. League of Legends’s first melee marksman (sorry Samira) will be available to play with the new patch!
Finally, Sivir rework is also here after months of delay! League of Legends’ one of the oldest marksmen is finally getting some ‘love’ from Riot with Patch 12.13, however we will have to wait and see if these changes will make Sivir a popular champion.
When is LoL Patch 12.13 becoming live?
League of Legends Patch 12.13 will be live on July 13, 2022. You can find the exact times for main servers below:
- NA – 3 AM PT
- EUW – 5 AM GMT
- EUNE – 3 AM CET
The game will be unavailable around 3-4 hours when the client starts patching and after the patching is over, you will have access to many new skins and League of Legends’ 161st champion, Nilah! We will explain her kit below but if you want to see her abilities, click here!
Newest Champion of League of Legends
League of Legends always loves to mix things up. After Ivern -the support jungler-, Kindred -the marksman jungler- Pyke -the assassin support-, we will start to see the one and only melee marksman, Nilah after the patch 12.13. Here are the details of her abilities:
Nilah
Passive – Joy Unending
Nilah amplifies the healing and shielding abilities of nearby allies. Allies that heal or shield Nilah gain a bonus heal or shield for themselves. When an allied champion heals or shields themselves near Nilah, she gives herself a bonus heal or shield.
If Nilah last hits an enemy minion, she and her nearest allied champion will gain the normal amount of shared experience, plus half of the experience that would have been lost due to sharing.
Q – Formless Blade
Active: Nilah’s Formless Blade strikes in a line, damaging all enemies hit. Hitting an enemy will briefly increase Nilah’s attack range and attack speed and empower her basic attacks, causing them to splash in a cone and deal additional damage.
Passive: Attacks and ability damage against champions ignore some of their armor and heal Nilah for part of the damage dealt. This effect scales with crit chance and converts any excess healing into a shield.
W – Jubilant Veil
Nilah shrouds herself in a Jubilant Veil and briefly gains bonus move speed, takes reduced magic damage, and dodges all incoming basic attacks.
Touching an ally champion hides them in the veil as well but they’ll be protected for a shorter period.
E – Slipstream
Slipstream lets Nilah dash through a target unit, traveling a fixed distance every time and damaging all enemies she passes through. She can store up to 2 charges at once.
Cast Formless Blade during Slipstream to pull a wave in your path, dealing damage after a quick delay and granting Formless Blade’s enhanced basic attack effect.
R – Apotheosis
Nilah unleashes a surge of power, lashes her whip in an area around her and, with a final burst, pulls enemies in toward the center.
Apotheosis heals Nilah for part of the damage dealt, converting any excess healing into a shield. This effect scales with crit chance and is granted to nearby allies.
Sivir Rework
Sivir’s updated kit is one of the most important highlights of LoL patch 12.13 alongside with the release of Nilah. Her outdated kit is improved dramatically, thus she will see some attention in the competitive arena starting from next week hopefully! Riot RayYonggi shared short descriptions about the changes so we can understand easily.
- Base Stats: Adjusting base stats that have been barely touched since season 5 to better match her shape
- Passive: Sharper movement speed that synergizes with attack speed
- Q: More reliable Q1, slightly less reliable Q2. Damage scales linearly over game-time
- W: More reliable bounces, no longer “infinite”. W now grants attack speed and synergizes with attack speed
- E: Remove E as the source of her kit’s mana. Give it other outputs that Sivir can appreciate
- R: Reduce output for teammates and give Sivir a moment of increased personal power
