Separated at primordial birth, Aphelios, a fiend of chaos, and Alune, an archoness of order, were created as enemies. Yet, drawn each night to wander by shared visions of the moon, they found each other. Abandoning their natures, they struggle to show creation that darkness can shine, even as other divinities endlessly war…

Each year, a mischievous Lunar Beast arrives in the mortal realm, drawn to the New Year's celebrations. And each year, the corresponding Lunar God selects a squad of chosen champions to lead the beast on a merry chase and protect the city from the creature's playful rampage. The Lunar Parade is a beloved part of the New Year's festivities and the Beast itself brings good luck once it's been lulled to rest by the squad's efforts. When a Lunar Beast is well-entertained and well-rested, it always signals a prosperous New Year!

Lunar Beast

It's time to look back, to celebrate with family and friends, to join together and remember all that has happened, the good and the bad. And as the fireworks light up the night sky, we look forward to a new year filled with wonderful memories with the ones we hold dear.

Aphelios stays quiet, preferring to worship the Bull God according to obscure “old ways” that are unfamiliar to the rest of his squad. His teammates are welcoming, if curious, but have yet to realize that Aphelios and his sister Alune are actually the Bull God's progeny, placed among the squad to face this year's Lunar Beast.

Congratulations to your Worlds winners for 2021: Edward Gaming!

World Champions: 2021

Some say holding up the Summoner's Cup before a stadium of cheering fans is the greatest prize... others say it's the cash. The folks who make Skins on the League of Legends team? We think that the best part of winning Worlds is being immortalized in your favorite game. And we aren't biased!

EDG Aphelios

Honoring Viper's winning performance as Aphelios during the 2021 World Championship.

The Spirit Blossom Festival is an ancient and celebrated time in Ionia, when the door to the spirit world is opened, the dead return to their loved ones, and spirits of all manner turn their eyes towards the living. From the benevolent Kanmei, to the obsessive Akana—their stories play out again and again, like shadows on a paper lantern.

Spirit Blossom Aphelios

This chroma was released as a Loot exclusive in the Worlds 2022 event.

Twin spirits herald the day's end in one version of an old Ionian tale. They are brother Midnight and sister Moonlight, two sides of a heavenly coin. Night breaks beneath the brother's shroud, cast across the firmament, a pitch-black canvas upon which his luminous sister dances as she trails a veil of stars.

HEARTSTEEL Aphelios

This chroma was released as a Loot exclusive in the Worlds 2023 event.

A multi-instrumental musical genius whose passion for his craft is nigh obsessive, Aphelios is the composer and creative backbone of HEARTSTEEL.  Though he rarely ever speaks, with this wild band of musical misfits and his twin sister (the band's manager Alune) by his side, Aphelios is ready to have his creative voice heard loud and clear.

High in the mountains lies a bathhouse where guests go to melt away their worldly cares. This themed retreat, called "Spirit Blossom Springs," is an oasis free of drama. Its welcoming staff and magical steam wash away the burdens of battle and memories best forgotten. There are no heroes or villains here—only the restful and the rejuvenated.

Spirit Blossom Springs

It's summer, baby! The sun's out, the breeze's warm, and the water's cool. Everybody's leaving their rivalries and grudges at home, and bringing only swimsuits and good vibes. There'll be plenty of time for punching and yelling later. Just sit back, enjoy the music, and soak up the fun.

Sunkissed Summer

Silent and brooding, Aphelios's calm presence and sharp looks endeared him not only to Ahri, but to all the guests of Spirit Blossom Springs. With encouragement from his sister, Alune, he accepted an invitation to become an ambassador for the bathhouse, indulging in the refreshing power of their many treatments and inspiring guests to do the same.
