Eternals: Commemorating Your Champion's Triumphs
Eternals in Legends of Runeterra are cosmetic items that allow you to track and showcase your mastery of specific champions. By equipping Eternals to a champion, you begin to accumulate progress on their unique stat trackers, celebrating your victories and achievements with that champion. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay, but they offer a satisfying way to personalize your experience and display your dedication.
Eternals are a feature designed for players who enjoy a sense of progression and achievement within Legends of Runeterra. Each champion has a set of three unique Eternals, each tracking a different in-game statistic. For example, a champion might have an Eternal for 'Nexus Damage Dealt,' another for 'Units Summoned,' and a third for 'Spells Cast.' As you play games with that champion equipped with their Eternals, these stats will increase, and reaching certain milestones will unlock visual flair and further commendations.
How Eternals Work:
- Equipping Eternals: You can purchase Eternal sets for champions using Shards or RP. Once purchased, you can equip them to your desired champion from the collection tab.
- Tracking Progress: Each Eternal tracks a specific in-game action. For instance, an Eternal might track 'Total Damage Dealt to Enemy Nexus' or 'Times Champion Leveled Up.'
- Milestones and Flair: As you reach specific numerical milestones on an Eternal's tracker, you'll unlock visual enhancements. These can range from subtle glow effects to more elaborate animations that appear when the champion is played or levels up.
- Champion-Specific: Eternals are tied to individual champions. If you want to track progress for another champion, you'll need to purchase and equip their specific Eternal set.
- No Gameplay Impact: It's crucial to remember that Eternals are purely cosmetic. They do not provide any gameplay advantages, buffs, or stat increases. Their sole purpose is to serve as a personal achievement tracker and a way to show off your dedication to a particular champion.
Where to Find Eternals:
Eternals are found within the 'Collection' tab of the game. Navigate to the 'Eternals' section, where you can browse available sets for champions you own. You can then purchase these sets using the in-game currencies.
Purchasing Eternals:
Eternals can be purchased using two primary currencies:
- Shards: The free currency earned through gameplay, daily quests, and weekly vaults.
- RP (Riot Points): The premium currency that can be purchased with real money.
The cost of Eternal sets varies, with some being more expensive than others depending on the champion and the complexity of the tracking stats.
Benefits of Using Eternals:
- Personalization: Show off your favorite champions and your dedication to mastering them.
- Sense of Achievement: Provides a tangible goal and reward system for playing the game.
- Visual Flair: Adds unique cosmetic effects to your champions, making them stand out.
- Showcasing Skill: High milestone achievements can be a subtle indicator of your experience with a particular champion.
Eternals offer a fun and engaging way for players to engage with their favorite champions on a deeper level, celebrating their journey and achievements in the world of Legends of Runeterra.
