In this week's patch we're kicking off the year of the horse off right with one of the best to grace the Rift, Lillia! Not to mention a bunch of other beautiful Petals of Spring skins plus we've got a special appearance for Divine Architect Porcelain Aurelion Sol! We'll dive into the Summoner's Rift specific changes in a second, but we've also got some love for ARAM Mayhem and Arena coming this patch. Make sure you also check out the Ionia Cup Clash happening on ARAM this patch. We've got another larger-than-average balance patch coming your way as we continue to comb through the new season's outliers and otherwise unloved-feeling champions. While most of our changes are very standard, we also took a look at formerly-popular junglers who have other primary roles and tried to place them at a balanced state.

Lilu "Riot Riru" Cabreros Patch Highlights Petals of Spring Camille, Petals of Spring Jayce, Petals of Spring Katarina, Petals of Spring Lillia, Petals of Spring Yasuo, and Divine Architect Porcelain Aurelion Sol will be available February 19, 2026. As a heads up, all of the Petals of Spring skins (excluding Lillia) will be limited-time Legacy skins and will go into the vault starting in Patch 26.6. Winter Sports Skins Return We hope you’ve all been enjoying the winter-y spirit of competition as we celebrate everyone’s favorite sports for two weeks every four years! Curling Veigar, Festival Kassadin, Ice Toboggan Corki, Vancouver Amumu, Whistler Village Twitch, Team Spirit Anivia, The Mighty Jax, and Union Jack Fiddlesticks will be available from February 19 until February 26, 2026, so make sure you pick them up while they’re here! Champions [Ambessa](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/champions/ambessa/) We had always anticipated that Ambessa would have a jungle audience and we're happy to see that she's taken root there, but she also needs to be equally balanced across her two primary roles, so we're lightly nerfing her monster damage. Q - Cunning Sweep/Sundering Slam - Bonus Damage to Monsters: 150 ⇒ 125 [Annie](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/champions/annie/) Annie has all but disappeared from the current game so we'd like to bring her back up to viability. While her primary player base is likely to be in mid lane, she's often enjoyed success at support as well, so we're also fanning the flames of her more supportive outputs. Q - Disintegrate - Base Damage: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 ⇒ 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 E - Molten Shield - Cooldown: 12 / 11.5 / 11 / 10.5 / 10 seconds ⇒ 10 seconds [Aphelios](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/champions/aphelios/) Even after our hotfix nerfs in 26.1, Aphelios remains as one of the most dominant marksmen in the game. We're lowering his damage to make him a little less powerful at all stages of the game. Passive - The Hitman and the Seer - Bonus AD: 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 ⇒ 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 [Brand](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/champions/brand/) Brand jungle has been smothered as of late, so we're giving his clear speed some additional firepower to see if he can find his place again. Passive - Blaze - Ablaze Monster Damage: 265% ⇒ 270% - Non-Epic Monster Damage Cap: 40 ⇒ 50 [Braum](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/champions/braum/) We undershot our Braum nerfs last patch so we're delivering another similarly-sized nerf to get him to the right spot. We're happy that he can reliably remain his team's front line, but that doesn't mean he needs to be as good as he is at starting late game teamfights. R - Glacial Fissure - Base Damage: 150 / _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-4-notes]_
