- Ixtali Seedjar
- The Ixtali Seedjar is a brand new type of item in League of Legends Wild Rift.
- The champion having this item can view seeds whenever they or their allies hit a plant in the Summoner’s Rift. The seed can be also be picked and replanted at various locations on the map. Thus, it provides a lot of room for a unique playstyle.
