Year of the Dragon: Heavenscale skin line join League of Legends with 9 new skins

As the Lunar New Year approaches, Riot Games is set to delight League of Legends players with the introduction of the Heavenscale skin line, adding a festive and fiery touch to Summoner’s Rift.

This exciting release promises to elevate the influence of dragons in the game, featuring captivating new looks for numerous champions, including the recently introduced dragon champion, Smolder.

Drawing inspiration from a Chinese novel set in a world of Dragon Lineages, Riot has meticulously crafted the Heavenscale skins to bring the essence of this fantastical realm to life.

Each skin in this line boasts vibrant red and gold accents, not only adorning the champions’ attire but also enhancing the visual of their abilities. The infusion of jade elements in each champion’s weapon pays homage to the cultural significance of this gem in Chinese tradition.

Heavenscale is poised to be the first event of the year, offering players an immersive experience filled with thematic celebrations. While the exact details of the event structure remain unclear, there is anticipation regarding the potential inclusion of an event pass or a focus on limited capsules.

In previous New Year events in League of Legends, event passes have allowed players to earn exclusive rewards through gameplay and mission, enabling them to unlock limited rewards. Notably, the Prestige Heavenscale Ezreal is likely to be a sought-after item and may exclusively be obtainable through this unique in-game currency.
