Riot usually does something big for the League of Legends World Championship. Last year it was Arcane, the year before it was a K/DA comeback, so what have they got planned for 2022?
Riot has already revealed the trailer for the 2022 Spirit Blossom event which is set to take place during the League of Legends World Championship. Now we've also got a glimpse of all the splash arts and let's just say there is a lot!
A bunch of the champions had already been leaked, while new champions have been added into the mix of upcoming Spirit Blossom skins this fall. One thing is for sure though, our boy Sett is the main character this time – and as a totally unbiased Sett main, I'm happy.
Which Champions Can We Expect to Get Spirit Blossom Skins?
A while ago infamous leaker BigBadBear posted a video on YouTube where he went over the potential champions to receive skins. Did he get all the champions right, now that we have the official trailer from Riot, as well as the splash arts? Let is take a look right below of who is confirmed to receive a Spirit Blossom skin in 2022:
- Spirit Blossom Sett (Legendary)
- Spirit Blossom Master Yi
- Spirit Blossom Master Yi Prestige Edition
- Spirit Blossom Syndra
- Spirit Blossom Darius
- Spirit Blossom Aphelios
- Spirit Blossom Evelynn
- Spirit Blossom Soraka
- Spirit Blossom Yorick
- Spirit Blossom Tristana
Spirit Blossom Skins: How Much Will they Cost?
These skins are all going to be 1350 RP with a few exceptions. We're going to also receive an event prestige skin for Master Yi, as well as a legendary skin for Sett, who we know from the trailer, will play a big part in this event.
So, Sett's skin will likely cost around 1820 RP, while the rest go for 1350 RP as is usual for epic skins. The Master Yi prestige will cost you 2,000 event tokens, but we wouldn't spend those tokens right away, since we know another special skin awaits us at the end of the League of Legends World Championship.
When Will the Spirit Blossom Skins Be Released?
These skins will be released in League of Legends Patch 12.19. They have gone onto the PBE just in time so we can enjoy them while the League of Legends World Championship will be taking place. This confirms all the previous leaks we've gotten regarding this skin line.
Will We Get a Spirit Blossom Event?
We are going to have a League of Legends Worlds event. This event will be Spirit Blossom themed, though. We also know we are going to have Worlds tokens with which we're going to be able to earn the upcoming Lil Nas X skin for the new top lane champion K'Sante. So you'll likely have to make a choice between the Prestige Spirit Blossom Master Yi skin and the K'Sante skin.
URF Coming Back for Spirit Blossom/Worlds Event
It has also been revealed that URF will be the designated game mode for this League of Legends event! Unfortunately, a lot of fans had been hoping for a return of Nexus Blitz, since this unique game mode had been brought back during the initial Spirit Blossom event in 2020. But it's Riot and we all know they won't give us PvE or Nexus Blitz, so URF it will have to be.
