League of Legends Star Guardian 2022 Event is here with a new pass, missions, skins, etc.
Riot confirmed Star Guardian’s return earlier this year; since then, there have been countless leaks and rumors. Now, after months of waiting, Riot Games has officially announced the biggest event of 2022, the Star Guardian Event. And like previous major events, Star Guardian will also be divided into two parts.
Star Guardian 2022 event plays out over a series of chapters, each three acts long. Chapters unlock every week, and you must complete one chapter before progressing to the next. Moreover, to progress through a chapter, you’ll have to defeat two “bosses” by generating 45 Starlight for the mid-boss and 90 Starlight for the final boss.
In the first phase, Nilah, Kai’Sa, Sona, and Ekko will join the Guardian team, while Fiddlesticks will be the main boss. And during the second phase, Taliyah, Rell, Quinn, Akali, and Syndra will be teaming up against Morgana.
Furthermore, Star Guardians 2022 will also have a Star Guardian Hub, where players will be able to enjoy all the Star Guardian content.
Here’s everything you need to know about the League of Legends Star Guardian 2022 Event.
