Elise and Thresh don the Blood Moon mask

Riot·Jan 5, 2015·0 votes·81,520 views

A sanguine moon stains a canvas of stars as two figures utter an ancient oath, swearing allegiance. They murmur the final words. Bloody light surges from their bodies. Power courses through transformed veins as masks materialize in their hands. Thresh and Elise embrace the Blood Moon.

Join the ranks of an ancient sect with Blood Moon Elise and Blood Moon Thresh, available now in the League of Legends store for 975 RP each. You can also grab the Blood Moon icon for 250 RP.

Alternatively, snag all five Blood Moon skins plus the icon in the Blood Moon Bundle for 20% off at 3920 RP (7524 RP if you need the champs) until 23:59 PST on January 12.

He has Blood Knight Hecarim in the same theme.

RiotRiot WhistJan 8, 2015110 votes

Bloodmoon is very Japanese inspired taking influences from oni themes and kabuki theater.

In my opinion, they are very different themes.

So... Blood Moon Hecarim confirmed? summoner 31

Under WillowsJan 8, 20154 votes

However it would be a really cool Hecarim skin I must admit.

You might want to rethink the Kabuki theater idea when you see Elise.

RiotRiot WhistJan 9, 201528 votes

I animated her recall actually. It's not kabuki, her skin isn't embracing that like the others. Kabuki plays a major role in kalista and thresh animations though.

RozzetaJan 10, 20151 votes

Then, why is it a Blood Moon Skin? Does Spider form alone let the rest of the skin contradict the theme?

RiotRiot WhistJan 10, 201521 votes

Bloodmoon theme isn't strictly kabuki though. That was one of our inspirations.

We the animators decided it'd be cool if their recalls were related to traditional Japanese culture in some form or another. It just so happened that Kabuki was a strong influence on Kalista (which I also animated) and Thresh. For Elise I wanted to do something else that played off the more beautiful and calm appearance of her human form as well as the lore of the "Jorōgumo".

If we were making strict kabuki skins, they'd all have to be male characters (all actors in kabuki theater are male, the females in the stories are played by men with heavy make-up on)

RaveionJan 8, 201521 votes

Blood Moon Diana should be the next legendary. I'm surprised they haven't made it yet, with Diana all about dat moon.

ThaumaniacJan 8, 20157 votes

what you did there... i see it Velkoz

BerserkerTerrorJan 8, 20154 votes

Well there's a reason why Diana will not be getting a Blood Moon themed skin. She actually already has one technically. Her lunar skin is suppose to play a role in the story as the Hero. There was a whole reddit post explaining the whole thing I'll have to search it up.

Feel it everywhere and you see it growing, Enemies arise and the hate is flowing, Shattering the moon and bloodying the sky.

The machines of war will fuel both sides, And the greed will only grow more lies; Farewell to days of peace 'cause now it's time to die.

Bloodmoon Team is now completed! Shen, Akali , Elise, Kalista and Thresh! XD

BakugoBestBoyJan 8, 201513 votes

Now if we just buff Shen and Elise into Viability...

TourianJan 10, 20154 votes

Elise is getting a clear speed buff, I wish they would revert the Rappel changes, but anything helps. As someone who mains her I think she is definitely viable in the new jg, perhaps a tad underwhelming but definitely has good sustain, ganks and decent clear. I suggest perhaps spider W also gives a mov speed boost for added utility.
