Wild Rift Path of Ascension event - How to unlock new champions

The latest event in Wild Rift, the Path of Ascension, will reward players with one of the first 3 ascended champions in Runeterra: Pantheon, Leona or Diana. This event is fairly straightforward, but if you are not sure about which of the three missions you should choose, you're in the right place. We will give you a detailed explanation of what you need to do to unlock a certain champion, as we did with the Lunar Beast event!

Below we'll dive into every single choice you have in this Wild Rift event, so you can discover all the rewards available, and select the path you believe will fit you like a glove.

If you're just starting out, then you need to know that the Path of Ascension event runs from the 16th of March until the 29th of March, leaving you with only a few days left to finish all the missions.

All the Path of Ascension missions explained

In the beginning, players can choose one of the three champions (Leona, Diana and Pantheon) to unlock for free by completing their mission. Some of these missions depend on the type of champion it is, so they're not all the exact same.

Take a look below and pick the mission that will fit your play style the most.

Aspect of the Moon - Diana

Aspect of the Moon - Diana

This mission is ideal if you want to unlock Diana for free, or if you play most of your games in a carry role. The missions are pretty simple from all perspectives, but quite difficult to complete if you play a support champion that doesn't focus on damage dealing.

It's best to choose this mission if you play as an ADC, Mid Laner or (carry) Jungler, but it could work for top laners that play fighters as well.
