Riot published the Wild Rift 7.3e patch notes on November 4, 2026 (10:00 UTC), and the whole patch is AAA ARAM: six new augment entries, three series (K/DA, Star Guardian and Minion) plus Mimicking Sands, Arcane Shadow and All in Good Fun. Summoner's Rift doesn't change, so your ranked builds, counters and tier lists are still the 7.3d ones. There are no augment adjustments, no champion changes and not a single number in these notes. Riot gives no rollout date or time either, only that "content will be released throughout the patch", so check your client before you go looking for the new augments.
Quick summary
| Area | 7.3e |
|---|---|
| New AAA ARAM augments | K/DA Series, Star Guardian Series, Minion Series, Mimicking Sands, Arcane Shadow, All in Good Fun |
| Augment adjustments | None |
| Champion changes in AAA ARAM | None |
| Summoner's Rift / ranked | No changes: still 7.3d |
1. The three series: K/DA, Star Guardian and Minion
Riot places this patch halfway through the Soundwave season and sums up each series briefly:
- K/DA Series: new ways to automatically attack enemies during combat.
- Star Guardian Series: built around teamwork, with teamwide buffs and "powerful bursts of strength" for you and your allies.
- Minion Series: a significant boost to your summoned units.
The only interaction the notes spell out links two of them: prisms from the K/DA series count as summons, so Minion series buffs apply to them too. If you're drafting augments in ARAM, that's the combo Riot points you to. The notes don't give values or say what each series includes, so read the in-game descriptions once they reach your client.
2. Mimicking Sands, Arcane Shadow and All in Good Fun
Riot compares these three to Banana & Microwave: augments with unusual mechanics, "including swapping champions and mimicking their abilities". That line covers the group, not each augment, so we can't tell you yet which one swaps champions and which one copies abilities. Riot also says it will keep a close eye on how these augments perform, given how many new interactions they bring, and asks players to report any issues they run into.
3. What about ranked?
Nothing to relearn. 7.3e doesn't touch Summoner's Rift, so the latest Rift balance is still 7.3d:
- Wild Rift tier list (patch 7.3d tiers), with role views like the jungle tier list and the support tier list.
- Counters and the item list are unchanged.
- For the champion and item changes that still shape ranked, read what changed in 7.3d.
After 7.3c, this is the second ARAM-only patch of the 7.3 cycle. For what comes next, our next patch date page tracks what Riot has confirmed. So far, no date for the next patch.
Verdict
7.3e is an ARAM patch: your ranked tier list and builds are still the 7.3d ones. In ARAM, K/DA prisms with a Minion augment is the one synergy Riot confirms, so start testing there.
