Wild Rift patch 7.3d: Shyvana retuned, Malphite and Singed nerfed, tower dives get cheaper

Riot released 7.3d on October 28, 2026, the third follow-up to patch 7.3. It is a balance patch with no new systems: one big Shyvana pass, attack speed growth for three melee champions, a handful of nerfs, small item changes and a quieter change to how turrets and minions behave. Riot notes that some content arrives during the patch rather than on day one.

Shyvana: stronger early, lower ceiling

Riot's stated goal is to make her human form better and her fully stacked late game less oppressive. In practice it is a buff for most players, because the gains come in every game while the losses only show once she is far ahead.

• Health per level 120 → 130, health regen per level 9 → 12, attack speed per level 0.012 → 0.024.
• Shorter cooldowns: Twin Bite 8.5/7.5/6.5/5.5s → 7/6.5/6/5.5s, Burnout 13/12/11/10s → 12/11/10/9s, Flame Breath 11/10/9/8s → 10/9/8/7s.
• Flame Breath ratio 30% AD + 40% AP → 50% AD + 80% AP; the Dragon Form detonation 50% AD + 70% AP → 100% AD + 100% AP; Dragon Form scorched earth 10% → 15% AD.
• Nerfs: Wings of the Cloud bonus movement speed 25% → 15%, and the Life of the Ocean omnivamp on Dragon's Descent 20% → 10%.

Buffs

• Lee Sin: attack speed per level 0.02 → 0.04, and Dragon's Rage base damage 125/350/575 → 150/375/600.
• Akali: attack speed per level 0.02 → 0.04 and base armor 34 → 37, which helps her survive early trades in mid lane.
• Camille: attack speed per level 0.016 → 0.028.
• Miss Fortune: Love Tap bonus AD multiplier 40% → 50%, and Bullet Time crit scaling 130–139% → 135–145.5%.

Nerfs

• Malphite: Granite Shield 11% → 10% max health, and Thunderclap's first attack 40/60/80/100 → 30/45/60/75 base damage with its armor ratio cut from 30% to 20%. Armor-stacking Malphite loses the most.
• Singed: health 690 → 660, movement speed 355 → 350, Mega Adhesive cooldown 11s → 14/13/12/11s, Fling cooldown 12s → 13s.
• Samira: Flair 125% → 115% AD, Inferno Trigger 50% → 45% AD.
• Ashe: Frost Shot's crit-based bonus damage on basic attacks 0–130% → 0–123.5%.
• Ekko: Z-Drive Resonance 120% → 110% and Timewinder 115% → 100% damage against monsters, so jungle Ekko clears more slowly while mid Ekko is untouched.

Nasus adjustment

Base attack damage goes from 58 to 62 and Fury of the Sands gives more armor and magic resist at ranks 2 and 3 (40/50/60 → 40/55/70), but Spirit Fire loses base damage (55/110/165/220 → 50/90/130/170). He farms Siphoning Strike stacks a little more easily and becomes tankier in his ultimate, at the cost of wave clear and poke.

Items

• Essence Reaver: attack damage 50 → 55.
• Fiendhunter Bolts: Opening Barrage crit damage 80% → 85% and true damage 15% → 17.5%.
• Divine Sunderer: price 3400 → 3300.
• Stormrazor: Bolt damage 120 → 100 and its movement speed 45% → 35%.
• Whispering Circlet and Diadem of Songs: heal and shield power 8% → 6%.

Turrets, minions and ARAM

Turret shots on the same target ramp up less: the multiplier on consecutive hits goes from 100/150/215/300% to 100/150/210/270%, so the fourth shot of a dive hurts noticeably less. Minions empowered by Hand of Baron take less damage from champions, minions and turrets, and the team that is ahead gets sturdier minions in general. In ARAM, several augments such as Violet Toxin and Chromacrash Series were toned down and Crimson Burst got a shorter cooldown.

Our take

Shyvana is the change to watch. wr-meta already shows her at a 52.8% win rate on 7.3d, and wildriftguides placed her in its S tier for the jungle on October 29; our own tier list still uses WildRiftCore's list from before this patch, which had her at C, and we will update it when that list is refreshed. Essence Reaver and Fiendhunter Bolts are both core items in the Smolder build on our site, so the S+ Dragon laner gets a quiet buff. In the support role, the heal and shield cut on Whispering Circlet and Diadem of Songs makes enchanters slightly weaker in long fights. The turret change rewards early dives, which suits Lee Sin's new attack speed growth and the stronger Hand of Baron push.
