URF 12.20 Patch Tier List: The Top 10 Hyper-Carry Champions for URF Games

The Worlds 2022 event in League of Legends has brought back the popular arcade event queue, URF (Ultra Rapid Fire). After a week of data, we can confidently say which champions are the strongest in this mode. Here is a guide to the top 10 hyper-carries in URF in League’s Patch 12.20.

Kayle

If you want a monster hyper-carry in URF, Kayle is your go-to champion. She has been near the top of the list for the past four URF cycles. Kayle’s weakness in URF is her lack of range until level six. However, her E ability, Starfire Spellblade, has greatly reduced cooldown, allowing her to poke and deal damage. Kayle’s empowered auto attacks with E can also secure kills in the top lane skirmish. Mid lane is the best lane for Kayle because of the increased experience gains. Side lanes are also viable if you have a teammate for support. Make sure to pick up jungle camps whenever possible to reach level 11 and 16 quickly.

In the Resolve tree, pick Bone Plating and Overgrowth. For stat shards, choose Attack Speed, Adaptive Force, and Armor. Flash and Ghost are the recommended summoner spells.

Start the game with an Amplifying Tome and raise your E ability. Max your skills in the order of R > E > Q > W.

Veigar

Veigar is another strong champion in URF. His passive, Phenomenal Evil Power, allows him to gain bonus ability power with every ability hit. In URF, he can quickly stack his passive, making him a formidable damage dealer in the late game.
