STAR GUARDIAN 2017

Light a new horizon.

A mysterious new team of Star Guardians is here to challenge their destiny. Watch the animated trailer, complete missions in Invasion, the new PvE game mode, craft rewards, and more from 9/7/17 – 9/25/17.

STAR GUARDIAN AHRI

1820 RP

Ahri is a charismatic captain leading a team of new and veteran Star Guardians. A strong desire burns within her to ensure no one she cares for ever fades away again.

Skin highlights:

  • Event only: Announcer on Summoner’s Rift
  • Exclusive loading screen border with New Horizon Set or First Star Edition bundle
  • Completely new voiceover lines, SFX, and VFX
  • Transformation sequence during her ultimate ability
  • Her familiar Kiko flies by her side

STAR GUARDIAN MISS FORTUNE

1350 RP

Renowned across the galaxy as a monster slayer, Miss Fortune is Ahri’s second-in-command who now fights in the memory of her lost comrades—not out of a sense of duty, but vengeance.

Skin highlights:

  • Exclusive loading screen border with New Horizon Set or First Star Edition bundle
  • Completely new VFX and SFX for all abilities
  • New idle and homeguard animations
  • Familiars Boki and Baki come out to fire away with her

STAR GUARDIAN SYNDRA

1350 RP

Syndra is a formidable Star Guardian from an earlier era. Her history is cloaked in shadow, but the warrior’s ambition is as bright as the dawn. Despite Ahri’s trust in her, some members still question the veteran’s true motives and suspect Syndra will do anything to achieve her personal goals.

Skin highlights:

  • Exclusive loading screen border with New Horizon Set or First Star Edition bundle
  • Completely new VFX and SFX
  • New recall and homeguard animations—Syndra merges with Multi upon recall
  • Multi familiars playfully interact with her Q and ultimate ability

STAR GUARDIAN EZREAL

1350 RP

Ezreal is a newcomer who’d rather focus his energy on solving the exciting mysteries of the universe than get bogged down by the burden of his new duty.

Skin highlights:

  • Exclusive loading screen border with New Horizon Set or First Star Edition bundle
  • Completely new VFX and SFX
  • New idle animation
  • Ultimate fires his familiar Yuuto out of Ezreal’s gauntlet, sparkles included

Skin highlights:

  • Exclusive loading screen border with New Horizon Set or First Star Edition bundle
  • Completely new VFX and SFX

So to get the border you have to pay extra?

Remember when you used to get a discount for buying a new skin in it's first week or so ofrelease? Then they stopped that but rewarded early buyers with borders for some skins, like the Project skins.

Now they not only do early adopters not get a discount, but to get the border you have to buy a bundle with an icon you might not even want at all and if you simply buy the skin you get no border.

Wait, so to get the border we have to pay extra RP? What?

CarameI Frappe9/7/2017, 6:57:51 PM22 votes

... Can't we just do missions to unlock the borders? Wouldn't that be way better and make everyone happy? I mean, I thought that would of been the best solution but why extra RP?! I don't get it Riot :(

I've waited my entire life to become a full fledged anime girl, my dreams are coming true.

This has been Riot's greediest year yet; it's honestly really distasteful.

Kasumi chan9/7/2017, 6:24:29 PM16 votes

So just to be clear, I only get the border for the skin if I buy the "First star edition" that makes me also spend RP on an icon?

Molbork9/8/2017, 1:13:07 AM15 votes

Why do the missions require being in a premade team? Most of my friends quit and i just play a game or two a night to unwind. Events actually got me to play more, now...nevermind.

Whoever came up with this stupid marketing plan must be fired. "Don't worry they'll accept this BS just like all the other times we screwed them over." Not this time Riot, not this time...

Ęlyžÿanq9/7/2017, 6:41:51 PM12 votes

Can I just buy the champion skin and still get the border?

AntiSkillshot9/7/2017, 6:36:55 PM12 votes

Sure, the borders are 175 RP. But I'm not paying 175 for a border. I also REALLY don't want the icons.

Here's the run down. Non-Ahri bundles - 1350 for the skin, 250 for the icon, and 175 for the border. For the Ahri one, just replace the 1350 with 1820 and you get the same result.

I'm not paying 175 just for a border and then an additional 250 for an icon I don't want. Yeah, sure, I could just get the skin, but borders are kinda a big deal to me.

KittyMewFace9/7/2017, 6:57:00 PM11 votes

So the only star guardian content you can get from this event without paying money is a ward skin? The arcade event was a lot better.

King Asgore9/7/2017, 11:29:47 PM9 votes

I gotta say as an avid fan of the Star Guardian content, even purchasing all purchasable Star Guardian content, I'm extremely disappointed how bundles and prices were handled this time around. I understand exclusive icon and borders but how much is too much in the name of "exclusives" what should have been a regular 1350 deal regardless turned to be extreme non sense. Did I still purchase things? Yes. I still want to show my support for this kind of content but will I point out its flaws? Also yes.

Elementalist lux had 10 icons and a border as well. Only its exclusive ward skin made it semi more expensive as well as 5 extra icons but they didn't add much to the price.

And while we are speaking of ridiculous prices, lets note CAD is also starting to soar again back to the USD, almost at even now. Will we be seeing another price adjustment soon or will that be forgotten about as well?

fun fact: kayn has the same voice actor as tuxedo mask for sailor moon. so if theres ever gonna be a tuxedo mask skin for the star guardians, youll know who to expect ;)

SlimSpacey9/7/2017, 7:22:21 PM8 votes

Onslaught and Invasion are way to hard, and honestly not even fun.MissFortune

MeilinII9/7/2017, 7:34:15 PM7 votes

Jeez, Riot, can't even put the bundle prices and such in these posts anymore? -_-

Pse9/8/2017, 6:07:05 PM5 votes

Not everyone is challenger and can complete onslaught with S+

Demastro9/8/2017, 2:54:45 AM5 votes

I don't comment much but I will say this; This event is a disappointment. RIOT you know you could have done better. Now either fix it or slowly lose the respect of your players. They might not leave you now but you're setting a precedence for things to only go down hill.

sejones9/7/2017, 10:46:38 PM4 votes

So the bundle is over $55 even if you own the champs. And Onslaught is impossible to play.

V8KrIhJuQ09/7/2017, 8:37:48 PM4 votes

invasion onslaught is extremely hard, I can't make a win neither any of my friends, make it easier. or at least make the missions for the normal one, it's fair this way for all kinds of players

MC Whomper9/8/2017, 3:41:38 AM4 votes

I've never seen so many people misspell "border".

Dark Kuno9/8/2017, 5:27:36 AM4 votes

Do you like spending your games of League in perpetual knockup chain? Do you like screens filled with enough projectiles to make Metal Slug and R-Type proud? Then this is the game mode for you.

Otherwise just skip it

Scyther20009/7/2017, 11:08:43 PM3 votes

Will the void champs be getting skins for their Invasion appearances? I reeeaally hope so, 'cause that velkoz looks legit imo.

KitsuneChaos189/11/2017, 1:38:15 AM3 votes

Everyone seems to be annoyed about the whole border thing, but I'm annoyed that I need a premade team for half the quests. I HAVE NO FRIENDS. LET ME DO A MATCH MADE ONE PLEASE.

AuraCreed9/9/2017, 12:54:50 AM2 votes

I don't even want half the skins but the icons for them look so cute... I'm sad I can't get any of them individually.

FunkyMonkey36969/11/2017, 6:57:05 AM2 votes

What happens if you have all champs? (like i do) is the mystery champ reward a token to be used when a new champ is released or is it useless and i should not bother spending tokens on it?

micy1234567899/9/2017, 7:37:29 AM2 votes

Riot can you make the star guardian icons sold in stores as well? I'd think that more people would buy them that way like last year. Or if someone only wanted the icon and not the skin.

Wheres the recall music :/ they have the music on PBE but not on live
