Spirit Blossom 2020 centers around the Ionian Spirit Blossom skins which are canon inLeague of Legends’lore.

While veteran players should be familiar with the reward structure, there are several different elements compared to past events.

Spirit Bonds
Instead of traditional missions, 10 Spirit Bonds will be forged during Spirit Blossom 2020. To start, players need to click on each champion’s picture to meet them and begin earning favor, the point system for different rewards. verify to talk to all the available portraits immediately since favor won’t count for champions that haven’t been spoken to.
Favor from Game Modes
By playingLeague of Legendsmatches, favor can be earned from wins or losses.
Specific Champion Favor
Players can get more favor for Spirit Blossom champions by playing as them.
Champion Task Favor
Additionally, the Spirit Blossom champions have unique tasks inLeague of LegendsandTFTthat reward players with more favor for accomplishing them.
Nexus Blitz Favor
In the returning Nexus Blitz game mode, there are bonus tasks for one specific Spirit Blossom champion during a random event that occurs every few minutes. Note that each one awards 3 favor upon completion for that champion.
Favor Rewards
Besides getting to know each champion better, gaining favor also unlocks up to 4 tiers of rewards for everyone.
In total, reaching Rank S with every champion will award 300 free Spirit Blossom Tokens.
Spirit Blossom 2020 Event Shop
After forging all Spirit Bonds, players will have enough tokens to get 1 free choice of most items in the shop.
Spirit Blossom Pass Missions
If players need more tokens to purchase items, they can buy the Spirit Blossom Pass for 1650 RP. Purchasing the pass will automatically add 4 Kanmei Orbs and 200 Spirit Blossom Tokens. However they also get 25 tokens for each Spirit Bond rank for a total of 1000 extra Spirit Blossom Tokens. Finally, the pass also unlocks Milestone rewards and tokens for every match played during the event.
While the complexity of Spirit Blossom 2020 may be initially confusing, Spirit Bonds are just slightly renamed missions with a similar progression system. And there seems to be more to this Ionian festival and summer event than described so far, as several Spirit Blossom skins are releasing at a later date along with Yone, the presumedmasked man from the teaser.
