Wild Rift is currently on its open-beta state, allowing more players around the world to try the MOBA game on their smartphones.

And with that being said, here’s our list of the 10 best Wild Rift Champions for beginner:
BARON LANE
Garen – The Might of Demacia
Garen is the easiest tank champion to play in the game thanks to his straightforward mechanics. On top of that, he has also high durability and is capable of absorbing a lot of damage. And not only that, he can also deal so much damage to his enemies with his first skill Decisive Strike and his ultimate skill, Demacian Justice. Garen also has a skill called Silence, a debuff which prevents enemy champions from using their abilities for a short duration. It also removes all slow effects on Garen at the moment.

MID LANE
Lux – Lady of Luminosity
