Sentinels of Light: Event Pass and Rewards

The first time you log into the event, you'll be asked to side with either the Sentinels or the Ruination. This will decide which cosmetics you'll earn first on your event pass.

No matter which side you choose, you'll be able to earn all major rewards of both sides, including icons, emotes, guardians, and card backs, plus a copy of the champion you sided with and its prismatic version. You can find a list of all event pass rewards on the event overview page.

Advance your event pass by completing missions and earning Crests. Each side has a primary mission chain, and weekly Epic quest chains will unlock as the event progresses. There is also a repeatable mission that'll reward you for either completing a task, or simply winning matchmade or AI games. Your first PVP win each day will also net you 2 Crests.

To earn premium rewards, you can buy a Premium Event Pass in the store for 975 Coins. If you purchase the event pass before July 28, you'll receive an exclusive quest that rewards 10 Crests and a Rare Prismatic Chest.

A non-canonical community battle will track the number of Crests earned by each side, and determine the winning team at the end of the event. You can keep track of the battle here.

The event is also part of the Sentinels Initiative, a charity drive for the Riot Games Social Impact Fund. Every event pass level players complete contributes a point toward the Charity Drive Pool. For every million points players contribute across all of Riot's games, Riot will donate an additional $100k in addition to the initial $1M.
