Spirit Blossom 2020

"A breeze dances across the forest floor. Bells beckon with a lilting note, each sound an invitation… and a promise. And there! Can you hear it? A whisper through the trees. Laughter like petals surrounds you. Old traditions make way for ancient magics, and in their wake the spirit realm begins to bloom. Welcome to the Spirit Blossom Festival.

Born from the mystic power and history of Ionia, the Spirit Blossom Festival will honor those who have passed, and the event will enchant the Rift from July 22nd, 2020 at 1:00 PM (PDT) until August 24th, 2020 at 12:59 PM (PDT). Though it is a time for reflection, the Festival is also a time for celebration. Embark on new missions, dress for the occasion, and interact with your favored champions like never before. Though the blossoms will fade after the 24th, you’ll still be able to use tokens earned during the event until September 8th, 2020 at 11:59 PM (PDT).

LILLIA: THE BASHFUL BLOOM

Sweet and swift, Lillia leaps onto the Rift just in time for Spirit Blossom on July 22nd, 2020. Don’t let her appearance catch you off guard, however. This bashful bloom is cultivating her confidence, wielding the magic of dreams to protect her forest home.

Looking to bring this dear deer into the Rift? She has her own special bundle just in time for the Spirit Blossom Festival. The Bashful Bloom Bundle contains both Lillia and her Spirit Blossom Skin for 1837 RP.

SPIRIT BLOSSOM PASS & PASS BUNDLE

Spirit Blossom, like any proper holiday, will have multiple ways to make the most of the event. First, there's the Spirit Blossom Pass for 1650 RP. It comes with 200 Spirit Blossom Tokens and 4 Spirit Blossom Kanmei Orbs.

If you’d like to get up to a bit more mischief, we're also offering the Spirit Blossom Pass Bundle for 2650 RP. Aside from the other items mentioned in the Pass above, the Bundle also includes Spirit Blossom Teemo. The Swift Scout is feeling extra mischievous, so he’ll come with a special icon and border!

You can purchase both the Event Pass and the Bundle throughout the duration of the event.

While the Spirit Blossom Event Pass doesn’t have Weekly Win missions, purchasing the pass will give you the opportunity to earn up to 1000 Tokens through Spirit Bonds, which we discuss in detail here.

HOLD ON A MOMENT!

Before you attempt to pull one over on the spirits, remember that you can’t cheat death or the system. Buying the Spirit Blossom Pass doesn't mean you get extra tokens and orbs if you then buy the Spirit Blossom Pass Bundle!

Missions

Any Ionian would say that the Spirit Blossom Festival is unlike anything else in Runeterra, and we’d have to agree. After all, when else would you have the chance to seek the friendship of the spirits? You'll be able to earn favor with each champion in a number of ways, including missions. Both with and without the Spirit Blossom Pass, you’ll be able to strengthen your bonds and learn what secrets the Festival holds.

REMEMBER

Milestone and Token Missions are just some of the ways to celebrate during the Spirit Blossom Festival. Be sure to learn all you can about Spirit Bonds and the special opportunities they provide by heading here.

TOKEN MISSIONS

You can repeat Token Missions as many times as you want for the duration of the event. For those who purchase the pass, tokens are added directly to the pass. If you do not have the Spirit Blossom Pass, tokens will be added to the Token Bank.

Spirit Bonds: Champion Missions & More

They say the Spirit Blossom Festival represents a thinning of the veil between our world and the Spirit Realm. Keep your wits about you! Cross over to the other side, and you would have to place your trust in the spirits there to guide you home. Some are playful, others conniving, but each has a story to tell for those that are willing to listen. Special missions have manifested for each of the Spirit Blossom champions, though there’s more than one way to earn their favor. It’s tricky business, communing with the spirits, so be sure to check out our full article on Spirit Bonds here.

LOOT & LOOT BUNDLES

Nothing says a festival quite like souvenirs, or in this case, loot. If you manage to get your hands on a Kanmei Orb, it will contain 1 random Skin Shard and a 4% chance to drop a Kanmei Grab Bag.

Open a Kanmei Grab Bag to reveal 3 skin shards of Superior quality (975 RP) or greater and 3 skin shards of Superior quality (975 RP) or less (excluding Mythic and Limited skins). If that wasn’t enough, your Gemstone and Mythic Skin Permanent drop rates will be multiplied by 1.5.

You can always increase your odds by using all your spiritual energy to summon luck to your side… Or you can simply purchase more chances to win. Whichever works best.

1 Kanmei Orb + 16 Spirit Blossom Tokens - 250 RP

10 Kanmei Orbs + 1 Bonus Kanmei Orb + 160 Spirit Blossom Tokens - 2500 RP

Spirit Bonds FAQ

"The Spirit Blossom Festival brings with it the chance to forge new bonds and interact with champions channeling the spirits from beyond our world. Allow your relationship to flourish by earning the favor of these mystical champions. Engage in conversations and complete missions to allow your relationships to take root. As an outsider, the nuance of the Festival and the world of spirits may seem overwhelming, but don’t worry. We’re here to be your spirit guides during this most magical event. Want to learn more about the event? Head over here.

SO, WHAT ARE SPIRIT BONDS?

On the eve of the Ionian festival, the veil between our world and the Spirit Realm is at its weakest. Cross over, and you can talk to the spirits there! You must enlist their help to venture back to the world of the living, so be sure to talk to any spirit you see on the Spirit Bonds’ map. Be sure to click on their lovely faces to begin your interaction.

REMEMBER

We aren’t playing a trick on you when we say you have to click on the champion's faces to begin interacting with them. You will not earn favor with any champions you haven’t spoken to yet.

You’ll then be given the opportunity to learn more about each champion through dialogue. The more you get to know them, the truth of these mysterious spirit’s intentions will be revealed to you. The more favor you earn, the stronger your bond will become, and you’ll unlock Episodes to progress a champion’s story.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT EARNING FAVOR

You can earn favor in multiple ways, and while most can be earned by winning and losing in matchmade games, you can also earn favor by completing certain tasks to impress the champions you wish to develop deeper bonds with, as well as playing in the revamped Nexus Blitz. We’ll be going deeper into what those tasks might be, so let’s take a closer look at the paths you can walk down with your favored spirit.

PLEASE NOTE

You will only gain favor with champions you’ve spoken with, which you can do by clicking on their faces on the map. No conversation started means no favor earned, so It’s time to socialize some spirits lest you miss out on any valuable interactions.

GAINING FAVOR PLAYING SUMMONER’S RIFT, ARAM, NEXUS BLITZ, OR TFT

You can play as any champion and still earn favor with any of the spirits that you’ve begun interacting with. You’ll build your bonds with both wins and losses, as the spirits value all experiences mortals may endure. Consider playing as a specific Spirit Blossom champion to increase the missions you can complete simultaneously (such as winning a game in Summoner’s Rift with Spirit Blossom Ahri).

GAINING FAVOR BY PLAYING A SPECIFIC CHAMPION

You can earn favor by honoring a champion simply by playing as them, as well as playing with their Spirit Blossom skins! For example, if you wish to earn some extra favor with the Nine-Tailed Fox, then you'll be able to play as Ahri. Just remember that playing as a champion will only earn bonus favor for that champion.

CHAMPION-SPECIFIC TASKS

All the spirits who’ve chosen to participate in the Spirit Festival will have unique tasks you can complete in both League of Legends and TFT (we’ll cover Nexus Blitz a bit further down). If you’ve been doing the Ahri-math up to this point, this means you can earn up to 13 favor with Ahri by surviving a Summoner’s Rift match without dying.

PLEASE NOTE:

You won’t be able to earn favor through these champion-specific tasks during Co-Op or versus AI. You’ll still be able to earn favor through wins, or by selecting a champion with a Spirit Blossom Skin, for example, but Co-Op and AI matches won’t fulfill the requirements below.

GAINING ADDITIONAL FAVOR IN NEXUS BLITZ

You may have noticed that things look a bit different in Nexus Blitz. Now a lush Ionian forest, what better stage to set for the Spirit Blossom Festival. Naturally, you’ll earn some added favor by playing NB. You’ll earn 3 bonus favor by completing a Nexus Blitz specific task for the associated champion alongside the 1 or 3 favor you earn by losing or winning respectively. That’s a lot of good vibes if you play your champs right. Learn more about all the changes coming to Nexus Blitz here.

WHAT DO I GET FOR GAINING FAVOR WITH A CHAMPION?

Besides getting to know them? You earn rewards of course! In this case, progressing through a champion’s episodes as you gain favor will grant you tokens and an icon depending on how far you progress. Though you begin your interactions at Rank D, you’ll find favor will strengthen your bonds as you delve deeper into each champion’s tale. You’ll be able to earn favor with ten separate champions during the Festival.

THE SPIRIT TREE & SPIRIT PETALS

When the moment finally arrives that you achieve an S-rank bond with a champion, you’ll progress to special missions tied to the Spirit Tree. This magical entity grants unique spirit petals, which you can then give to an S-rank champion.

The choice to bestow a petal is the ultimate symbol of your efforts, and through this gift you’ll be granted an unbreakable bond, along with a unique emote!

However, the petals are as rare as they are meaningful, and you will not be able to give this prize to every champion, so choose your relationships wisely. Your progress to earning a spirit petal is known as Spirit Petal Growth.

The amount of Spirit Petal Growth needed for a spirit petal:

50 spirit petal growth for the first spirit petal you can gift

110 total petal growth for the second petal you can gift

180 total petal growth for the third petal you can gift

250 total petal growth for the fourth petal you can gift (Premium Pass only)

320 total petal growth for the fifth petal you can gift (Premium Pass only)

EPILOGUE

Once you’ve fostered an S-rank unbreakable bond with a champion, you may be able to journey back to the mortal realm with your newly forged memories to bolster you, but like every good fable the end is really only the beginning. If you achieve an even higher rank, don’t be surprised if your new companions stop by to bid you a safe journey for whatever adventure awaits. These final interactions will occur during Spirit Blossom’s conclusion at the end of the event."

Lillia, the Bashful Bloom

Our newest champion Lillia & her release skin Spirit Blossom Lillia are now available! See our release coverage for more details and previews, including ability ratios and more!

Spirit Blossom Lillia

1350 RP

""A shy fawn spirit, Lillia once served as the guardian of a sacred Ionian forest-- until her grove was destroyed and cast into flame. Consumed by loss, she now slumbers in the spirit realm, reliving the destruction in an unending nightmare-- unaware of the timid hope still waiting to bloom..."

Champion Skins

The first batch of Spirit Blossom skins are releasing as the event kicks off!

Spirit Blossom Teemo

1350 RP

"A trickster spirit and a child of the forest, Teemo is famed across Ionia as the embodiment of nature... though his more onerous accolade is the king of pranks. A consummate gadfly and lover of all things annoying, his exploits in tricking mortals have graced the pages of Ionian history for hundreds of years."

Spirit Blossom Teemo Prestige Edition

2000 Event Tokens
"Having abstained from pranking his "best friend forever" literally once, the Spirit of Salvation has gifted Teemo with his wildest dream... becoming shiny and gold. Never one to leave anybody alone, ever, he has promised his BFF to prank them at every opportunity, every day, until they die and join him in the spirit realm. Good luck to them."

Spirit Blossom Thresh

1820 RP / Legendary

"An ancient demon of obsession, Thresh delights in tormenting the spirits of those he deems as flawed, but blossoming with potential. He haunts the spiritual afterlife as a supreme collector of souls, tempting the dead away from their path to salvation until they are trapped for eternity within their own memories."

After collecting 45 souls and using his R, Spirit Blossom Thresh will unlock a toggle (using CTRL + 5) to toggle back and forth between human and demon forms!

As a Legendary skin, Spirit Blossom Thresh has a new voiceover:

Spirit Blossom Vayne

1350 RP

"Vayne came from a lost clan of monster hunters, annihilated to the last when the primordial demon of pain chanced upon their hidden village. Unable to let go, and doomed to her own obsessions for eternity, she hunts the creature without end, always unable to catch it."

Spirit Blossom Yasuo

1350 RP

"Long ago, two brothers fought a bitter war across Ionia. Yasuo, the younger brother, was a warlord renowned for his roguish demeanor-- until he was accused of crimes against the country and took up arms to defend himself. Both were fated to fall in their final duel... a lesson, perhaps, in pride and hubris."
