Complete guide to LoL’s 2021 Lunar Beast event: skins, missions, and rewards
Lunar Beast Event Overview
League of Legends ushers in the Year of the Ox with its vibrant Lunar Beast celebration, blending futuristic aesthetics with traditional Lunar New Year motifs. This limited-time event introduces exciting content across multiple game modes with special rewards up for grabs.
The event features nine themed skins, the return of ARURF mode, and a battle pass system with exclusive rewards. Players can earn tokens through missions to unlock prestige cosmetics and other valuable items.
Strategic Tip: The rotating game mode bonus (ARURF) provides faster mission completion due to shorter match durations compared to standard Summoner’s Rift games.
Lunar Beast 2021 Skins Collection
Riot Games presents nine stunning Lunar Beast skins featuring a distinctive neon aesthetic blended with ox imagery. The collection includes champions across multiple roles:
- Alistar (Support)
- Annie (Mage)
- Aphelios (Marksman – LoL exclusive)
- Darius (Juggernaut)
- Fiora (Duelist with Prestige variant)
- Jarvan IV (Tank)
- Viego (Skirmisher – LoL exclusive)
Each skin is priced at 1350 RP with complete bundle options available. The Collector’s Bundle (16,336 RP) includes all skins plus exclusive borders, icons, and emotes.
Prestige Fiora requires 2,000 event tokens and features distinctive gold/white/pink coloration. This marks the first Prestige skin of 2021 with unique acquisition requirements through event participation.
Common Pitfall: Avoid purchasing individual skins if you plan to buy the bundle later, as Riot doesn’t offer bundle discounts for previously purchased items.
Lunar Beast Event Pass Breakdown
The Lunar Beast Event Pass (1650 RP) provides the most efficient path to earning exclusive rewards. Key benefits include:
- 200 Lunar Beast Tokens (immediate grant)
- 4 Lunar Beast Orbs (guaranteed skin shards)
- Unlimited token earnings through play
- Access to milestone missions
Milestone missions offer 20 Prestige Points plus essence, emotes, and chests. These stack with regular event missions for maximum reward potential.
Optimization Tip: Complete milestone missions in ARURF mode first, then focus on standard queue for remaining objectives to maximize time efficiency.

Event Mission Strategy Guide
Unlike previous events, Lunar Beast missions release weekly over four phases but all remain available until the event concludes. This staggered approach allows for:
- More manageable objectives
- Flexible completion timing
- Reduced last-minute grinding
All missions can be completed in any game mode, but ARURF provides the fastest completion due to accelerated gameplay mechanics.
Pro Strategy: Focus on multi-purpose champions that fulfill multiple mission requirements (e.g., playing Viego can count for both ‘play games’ and ‘play as Lunar Beast skin’ objectives).
Lunar Beast Reward Shop
The event shop offers premium cosmetics purchasable with earned tokens:
- Prestige Fiora (2000 tokens)
- Champion-specific chromas (300 tokens each)
- Little Legends eggs
- Emotes and icons
- Blue/Orange Essence
Token conversion remains available after the event ends (until March 22), but shop access closes with the event on March 8.
Common Mistake: Don’t wait until the last day to spend tokens as server congestion may prevent access. Redeem rewards at least 24 hours before deadline.
