LoL patch 12.13 is now live. A look at its patch notes reveals its release date alongside the addition of new champing Nilah, the Joy Unbound, Star Guardian skins, and more.

Riot Games pushes out regular updates for its popular MOBA, which is why its patch schedule is necessary to keep track of when the next one’s due out. The LoL patch 12.13 release date was set for Wednesday, July 13, which is when the changes that make it through testing hit live servers.

League of Legends Patch 12.13

On the PBE, players could try out the following 6 new skins: Star Guardian Nilah, Star Guardian Ekko, Star Guardian Ekko Prestige Edition, Star Guardian Kai’Sa (1820 RP), Star Guardian Sona (1350 RP), and Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks (1350 RP).

The LoL 12.13 maintenance schedule is always revealed closer to launch. Usually, it takes about 3 hours for patches to be deployed across different regions. Checking our League of Legends Server Status article is a good way to keep yourself informed on server downtime caused by patch deployment or other reasons.

Abilities

Joy Unending (Passive):

Nilah amplifies the healing and shielding abilities of nearby allies. Allies that heal or shield Nilah gain a bonus heal or shield for themselves. And 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.

Formless Blade (Q):

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.

Jubilant Veil (W):

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.

Slipstream (E):

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.

Apotheosis (R):

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’s rework is set to go live on the League 12.13 PBE, bringing a number of significant alterations to the champion’s abilities. Expect the numbers to change a fair bit while it’s being tested.

We also have our first look at the League 12.13 patch preview which highlights the champions set to be targeted by changes. Prior to it going live, a 12.12 micropatch will also be introduced, adding a number of different tweaks.
