Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin, that skin that seemed more like an upgraded chroma and was initially only accessible by opening Cosmic 2023 Capsules, which could be up to 200$ to own. Well, it turns out there’s another way to obtain it without breaking the bank.
Until September 18, it was widely believed that this gacha Jhin skin could exclusively be obtained from Cosmic 2023 Capsules. However, League of Legends streamer and content creator I Keep It Taco has debunked this notion.
Bug that allows you to get Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin through Hextech chest
“There’s a bug that allows you to unlock Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin ($200) with regular Hextech Chest and Keys. If you’ve been saving them for years, abuse it.”
Apparently, there’s a glitch that allows you to acquire this Mythic Variant skin using a regular Hextech Chest and some keys.
Unfortunately, the odds of getting it this way are not in your favor, and the drop rate is exceptionally low. I Keep It Taco, a dedicated Jhin player, had only a 0.0003% chance of getting Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin. Even after opening over 600 chests and more than 50 orbs, he still didn’t get it.
“Someone did the math and the chances of me getting it in the hextech chest are 0.0003%. I opened 600+ boxes and 50+ orbs. We couldn’t open 1000+ cause we ran out of chest so we got more keys for next year when we get more boxes. WE TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR”
When questioned about this bug by MattyLoveGaming, I Keep It Taco mentioned that Riot had made an error, which is why you won’t find this skin in the regular Hextech Chest loot pool.
If you’re hoping to obtain this skin through Hextech chests, it’s advisable to open as many as you have, especially if you’ve been saving them for a special occasion. However, the chances of obtaining it through rerolls are next to impossible.
Sadly, according to the content creator’s post, this interaction has already ended in 19 September. So, your best bet is to focus on opening Hextech chests and hope for some luck for the next year occasion.
However, if you prefer not to exploit glitches, you can still obtain Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin by opening the limited-time-only capsules. But act quickly, as the event is coming to an end with the arrival of patch 13.19 on September 27.
