The Map:

The map name is Summoner’s Rift which you will play all the matches. The Wild Rift Map, Divided into two parts, Red Part (Enemy) and Blue Part (Your Team), and The river between them.

The map contains Two team Bases, Three Lanes, Jungle, and The River.

1- The Base:

The bases of the Two Teams are at the upper right and the lower-left corners, and this is where you will find yourself at the beginning of the game, Also after you die or recall. When you return to the Base, You can recover your Health, Mana, and Buy Items.

2- The River:

The river splits the Wild Rift Map in half and contains the two Most Important objectives in the game. (Don’t worry, we’ll go over all of these objectives.)

3- The Lanes:

There are three Lanes, and each Lane contains 3-Tower, to protect the Champions and the base (Nexus) from the enemy Champs and minions. All three lanes lead to the enemy base.

– The Names Of Lanes:

A- Baron Lane

B- Mid Lane

C- Dragon Lane

4- The Jungle:

The Jungle is all the areas between the Lanes and is the Most Important and Hardest place in the Wild rift map. Also, The Jungle, Divided into two parts, the Red and blue sides.

The Turrets or Towers:

In Wild Rift, The Towers are defensive structures that Deal damage to any enemy champion, minions, or Rift herald who enters their range.

The Turrets in Wild Rift are Designed to protect you and the base (Nexus) by dealing damage to any enemy within their range. It is a form of protection for both parties.

On Summoners Rift, each team has 9 Turrets. The way towers Spread out in the Wild Rift map is:

• THREE in Baron Lane.
• THREE in The Mid Lane.
• THREE The Dragon Lane.

For each line, the three towers can be Name as follows:

• The Outer.
• The Inner.
• The Inhibitor.

The Towers Properties in Wild Rift:

• Protect you, your team, and The Nexus from enemy Champion.
• Deale very Hug damage to enemies.
• Provide a limited vision of the Fog of War for you and your team. (You Can See Anything in Turret Range).
• See The stealth enemy and traps.

How Turrets Work (Protect):

It is Very Important to know that the towers do not attack randomly. The way Tower works are that it can target one at a time.

The first unit that enters the Range of the Tower will be the primary Target. After the unit dies or walks out of range, the tower will look for another target to attack.

If you Deal damage to an enemy champ in the range of his turret, you will become the main target directly. After you walk out, the tower will focus on another target.

These defenses do very High damage. You have to work with your minions to destroy the towers.

How To Know if Tower Attacks You or Not:

You can tell if the tower will attack you by the color of the enemy tower range:

1- Green: the protection tower is attacking other units.

2- Yellow: There are currently no units in the range of the protection tower. If a Champion enters, he will focus on him.

3- Red: The Turret is currently attacking you. You have to get out.

Destroy The Turrets:

Assuming you want to reach The Enemy Base from the Mid Lane, you will need to destroy the three towers in the line. Destroy the towers in order, first Outer, second Inner, third Inhibitor. You Can’t Destroy a turret unless you destroy the one before it.

You can’t touch the Nexus if you didn’t destroy at least one Inhibitor tower. The last tower in each line.

After destroying the Inhibitor Tower in any Lane, your base will start generating super minions that will help you advance further and achieve victory.

When you take or destroy the entire tower. You and Your Team will get Gold and XP. All turrets Hp have three plants or Three Parts that give extra Gold, With each one destroyed.

That is How to Play Wild Rift And Take Towers.

The Priority of Targeting Towers:

When entering several units in the range of the tower, the priority targeting is as follows:

1- First Target: The first unit that enters a range.

2- Second Target: Siege Or Super Minion.

3- Third Target: Melee minion.

4- Fourth Target: Caster minions.

5- Fifth Target: Enemy Champion.

But always remember. If you deal damage to an enemy champ in the range of the tower, it will focus on you.

The Minions:

The Minions are small units spawned From The Nexus and march down the three lanes automatically in the Form of Waves. To attack whatever belongs to your enemies, From Enemy minions to Champion. Also, help you destroy The enemy Turrets and Nexus.

Each team has its Minions to help it out. When you kill enemy Minions, you will get Gold and XP to buy items. The Minions are Very Important to do the main objectives, destroy towers and Nexus to win.

There Is Four Type Of Minions:

1- Melee Minions: 

Relatively tanky and does not deal High damage. It Needs to be Next to a target to attack them.

4- Super Minions:

Jungle Monsters:

As I told you before, The Jungle is all the areas between the lanes, divided into two sides, Blue and Red Sides. And the river between them.

The Jungle contains two types of different monsters. Firstly, Jungle Monsters. Secondly, Epic Monsters (Neutral Objectives).

Jungle Monsters:

They are monsters spread on the map. 6 Monsters on each side (Red And Blue Sides). In addition, two Monsters in the river.

If you slay it, it will create a shrine in the middle of the river, providing vision and bonus movement speed to you and your team.

Epic Monsters:

When you kill This Epic Monsters, you and your team get unique Buff (power-ups) that help you finish matches faster. So This Monsters are considered among The Objectives and are named Neutral Objectives.

The team that takes these objectives will get Buff or power-ups.

There are two types of dragons, and each contains 4 Elements.

In each match, 3 Types of Elemental Dragons appear, and 1 type of Elder Dragon.

The Objectives:

We all know that the main objective in Wild Rift is to destroy Enemy Nexus, but you can’t do that directly from the start of a game. You have to do many things to become stronger and to be able to destroy the enemy Nexus. These Things are what we call The objectives.

Objectives in Wild Rift are one of the Most Important parts of learning how to play Wild Rift. When you get these Objectives, you will get more Gold from the enemy team, which will give you more advantage and power.

Gold Leads:

The first objective you have to think about from the beginning of a match is to expand the gold difference between you and your enemy By taking minions, killing enemy Champions, taking Objectives, and not dying.

But always taking the Objectives is the most important because it gives an advantage and strength to the whole team and not to one player. After all, Wild Rift is a team game.

Now I will share with you all the Objectives in Wild Rift:

1. Turrets: Take towers that give your team a lot of Gold, To be able to destroy Nexus.
2. Dragons: For every Dragon you take. Your entire team will get a bonus.
3. Baron Nashor: A lot of Gold, and the team strengthened a lot for a temporary period.

In each team, there are 5 Champs. Each of them has a Role and a specific Lane to play it.

There are 5 Roles in Wild Rift, are:

1- Baron Laner:

The tank or fighter plays this role in Baron Lane. This role is considered the trump card for each team. Baron Laner always has to be careful because he plays alone in a lane most of the time.

In the Beginning. Take as many minions as you can, kill the enemy if possible, or take his tower, go to help the team in objectives or fights near you.

After your team has assembled, it’s your turn to take the front line in the fight and protect your team if you’re a tank or deal damage on enemies if you’re a fighter.

2- Mid Laner:

Mid Laner is one of the Most Important roles in Wild Rift because he plays in the center of the map in Mid Lane. He can navigate the map quickly and at any time to help his team. That is The Main function.

But the problem is that Mid Lane gets a lot of attacks because it’s in the middle of the map. So Mid Laner must play with caution and set a broad vision around him.

Focus on the enemy’s movements on a map and help the team. These are The Main Function of the Mid player. Assassins and Mage play this role.

3- ADC:

Attack-Damage Carry (ADC) is the Champ who deals the most damage in the game, but he is weak and dies quickly (squishy). So he always needs someone to protect him. ADC Player focuses on the start of a Game on taking minions, killing enemies, and not dying. To collect as much Gold as possible and buy items.

After purchasing the items, the power of the ADC begins to appear, and he begins to focus on dealing the Largest possible damage to enemies and not dying in team fights.

This Role Played in Dragon Lane. Of course, by ADC Type champions with support.

4- Support:

Support plays with the ADC in Dragon Lane. Its main job, in the beginning, is to protect the ADC in any way possible. Take Damage, Provide a vision, sacrifice your life if necessary, and Gold.

When team fights start, the Support function switches from protecting the ADC only. To protect the entire team using its abilities.

What distinguishes the Support Champions from the rest of the champs is that they do not need a lot of Gold. To do what they have to do. There are 3 Basic Types of Support. Each has its way of protecting ADC and the team.

• Tank: Take damage, Obstruct the movement of enemies, and get into battles first.
• Healer & Peeler: Heal Allies and Obstruction.
• Damage: Dealing a lot of damage on enemies.

5- Jungler:

It is the only role that does not play in the lanes. The Jungler is playing in a jungle, and the Main Source of Gold and XP are jungle monsters.

His role is to kill jungle monsters to collect Gold and XP and help all lanes. Also, the Jungler may be present when the dragons and Baron appear. To ensure these monsters Take.

This role is considered one of the Most Difficult and most influential roles in Wild Rift games.

These are all the roles and how to play Wild Rift.

Gold:

Gold is the Most Important Thing in the game. It is the main element that makes your Champ stronger and stronger. It allows you to buy items.

How You Can Collecting Gold in The Game:

Collect Gold by Takedown. Takedown anything with Last Hit Gives you Gold. Last hit Minion and Ward.

Killing enemies gives you a lot of Gold. Whoever takes Last Hit gets the kill and gets the most Gold. The assistant also gets Gold.

Taking objectives like Dragons, Baron, and Towers, Give your entire team Gold, Not just the one who hit the Last Hit.

Quick Note:

Always remember the one who hit the Last Hit gets the Gold, Not the one doing the most damage.

Items:

Items are the main ingredient to make your Champ stronger. You can get Items by collecting Gold and then buying items from the shop in the base.

When you buy Items, It will give you stats, bonuses, and abilities. That makes your Champion stronger and helps you fight. For Example:

Each Champ tends to Buy certain items, Or each item matches specific champions. That is how Items work and How To Play Wild Rift.

Fog Of War and Vision:

The fog of war in Wild Rift is the hidden areas where you can’t see what’s happening on the map. Like Jungle and enemy lanes.

Your turrets provide vision into a specific area in a lane. If destroyed, you will not Be Able to see what is happening there. Also, Minion and your allies provide you with a vision. Into the areas, they are In.

Ward:

Seeing what is happening on a map is Very Important, as it makes you Able To know what the enemy is planning and know where and when to attack you.

The Fundamentals:

In Wild Rift, there are many Fundamentals that you must learn to become a professional player. But since you are new to the game, you should focus on Farming and Trading. Because you do it at the beginning of every game you play.

Farming:

Framing means collecting Gold by killing minions, killing enemies, or taking jungle monsters. Of course, by hitting the last Hit to the unit.

If you play ADC, MID Laner, or Baron Laner Role, you must learn How to farm in your Lane. Hit Minion with the last Hit and kill the enemy if the opportunity allows.

Or, If you play Jungler Role, You should learn how to farm in the Jungle. By Killing jungle monsters and using the smite spell.

The Support player is not interested in farming Because its role is to protect the ADC and the rest of the team. Leaves farming for ADC.

Trading:

It’s The Fight between you and your enemy in the Lane while farming. Deal damage on the enemy and expect to take damage from him. You have to learn Trades and Farm at the same time.

Control Settings:

The Default control in the game is Good. It Just needs some minor tweaks:

First, enlarge the spells buttons a little, and bring them closer to the left thumb. Because sometimes you need to click them quickly.

Second, activate the Portrait lock feature, which will show the icon of the enemy champs near you next to the ability buttons. When you click on a champion, You will focus all your attacks on him.

Third, activate the Semi-Lock Camera feature. That allows you to Move the center of the camera, To see wider.
