About League of Legends: Wild Rift Mobile Game
League of Legends: Wild Rift is obviously built on the IP content of the League of Legends but published as a multiplayer (5-on-5 players) online battle arena (MOBA) game for devices running on iOS or Android OS.
A team of players control a “champion” out to do battle against an equally impressive opposing team of players (or AI-controlled team), to destroy each other’s “Nexus.”
The Nexus is the core of each team’s base, which even without a protector or magic resistance of its own, is difficult to destroy. Mainly because of its 5000 health and ability to regenerate at a rate of 20 health per second. All players start off weak but will increase in strength and capabilities by amassing items and experience throughout the game. The team that succeeds in destroying the opponent’s Nexus wins the battle.
