A warm glow floods across packed streets from a sea of scarlet lanterns, their steady burn punctuated by explosions of light as fireworks paint the moonless night sky in bold, ephemeral strokes. The smell of sulfur intermingles with sizzling dumplings, coalescing into an unmistakable scent, sparking pure joy. When it comes to the Lunar Festival, every moment is magic!
But the greatest spectacle of the evening is yet to come. Cheers erupt from the crowd as six figures rush forward to face their divine foe. A new year has arrived.
Aid the Ox Squad by empowering their god-given relics with feats of strength, cunning, and generosity, so they may once more spare the city from the rampage of a boisterous Lunar Beast!

What better way to ring in the Lunar New Year than with a whole month of celebration?!
Start - February 4th, 2021 / 00:00:01 UTC
End - March 2nd, 2021 / 23:59:59 UTC
Lunar Beast Event Shop Closes - March 10th, 2021 / 23:59:59 UTC
We're bringing fresh new content to this classic celebration, but if you want any of the items in our Event Shop, there is something you must do...
Join the Ox Squad
At the close of each lunar year, a Lunar Beast—one of twelve powerful-yet-playful celestial beings—charges into our world in a fit of jubilation. It's then the job of that year's Lunar Beast Squad to dazzle, distract, and divert the Beast into slumbering submission. But they can't do it until you power up their Relic Weapons!
Incidentally, you also won't be able to earn any Lunar Tokens until you equip said Weapons in the Event Center, each of which generates points and power based on unique objectives.
| Relic Weapon | Objective* | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Lunar Gauntlets | N/A (Already powered up!) | N/A |
| Lunar Flintlocks | Earn 5 / 11 / 18 / 26 / 35 points
|
25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 Tokens |
| Lunar Spear | Earn 7 / 15 / 25 / 37 / 50 points
|
25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 Tokens |
| Lunar Blade | Earn 30 / 70 / 120 / 180 / 250 points
|
25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 Tokens |
| Lunar Axe | Earn 15 / 35 / 60 / 90 / 125 points
|
25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 Tokens |
| Lunar Bear (Always equipped) | Earn 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 points
|
50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 Tokens |
Having trouble fulfilling an objective? Don't even sweat it! You can switch Weapons whenever you like and pick up where you left off later! Just bear in mind that fully powered Weapons will no longer award you Tokens, so swap 'em out with unpowered Weapons to continue filling your coffers and helping the Ox Squad!
Those who manage to charge all six weapons will be handsomely rewarded:
| Special Objectives | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Power up all 4 equippable Relic Weapons (Lunar Flintlocks, Lunar Spear, Lunar Blade, and Lunar Axe) |
Golden Ox Icon |
| Power up the Lunar Bear | Lunar Tibbers Icon |
Even if you don't manage to power up ALL the Weapons, there's still plenty you can purchase with your hard-earned Tokens!

*Content marked with an asterisk will become available once the Lunar Lovers event begins on 1/12/2021.
Some of you may have noticed the absence of a certain lunar lad and his spectral sister. You better believe we plucked that low-hanging celestial fruit over in League of Legends on PC, which is having its own Lunar Beast event! And if it seems like we're playing favorites, don't worry—Aphelios' Lunar Beast skin may be LoL-exclusive, but only Wild Rift players will get to strut down the lane with Miss Fortune's Lunar Beast skin. We think it's a pretty fair trade!
Lunar Lovers
Those looking to add a dash of romance to their Lunar New Year should check the Lunar Lovers event, which is set to bring more missions, tons of Tokens, and loads of love on February 12th!
