The Sentinels of Light global event will make its arrival into every game in Riot’s repertoire in just a matter of time, with Teamfight Tactics receiving a new expansion, new Ruination weapon skins coming to Valorant, and the addition of Akshan and Viego into Legends of Runeterra.
After the success and the good feedback of the Spirit Blossom interactive experience, Riot decided to replicate this through a new event available in the League of Legends client, where players will take part in the Sentinels of Light narrative joining the fight against Viego and the Black Mist.
Rise of the Sentinels: Recruiting across Runeterra
In "Rise of the Sentinels", players will have a way to experience League's story through the eyes of a rookie member of the Sentinels as lasting change comes to the world of Runeterra.
As time goes on, the Sentinels will push through new regions, opening them up to players and adding to their ranks along the way. While some regions must be visited first (Demacia, Piltover & Zaun), others present a choice that will affect your rewards and which Sentinel you recruit.
Though all roads may lead to the Ruined King, different routes will result in unique story beats and change how you earn points. Also, you must complete your current region before moving on to the next one, and ompleting a region will earn you rewards, a narrative beat, and a new Sentinel.
Week 1 (July 8)
Demacia Sentinel Vayne ⬋ ⬊ |

While you'll still end up with essentially the same roster at the end, your decisions can have a real impact on the champions you recruit. Some of them will be changed in small ways depending on the results of your choices.
This will be reflected in the adjective before their name (Defiant Riven vs Reforged Riven, for instance), and also changes the mechanics of how champions earn you points, which help you progress across the map and through the event.
Rise of the Sentinels: Sentinel Points
During the event, you will have to build the skills of each of the Sentinels, as their motives will vary most of the time. Each new recruit you add to your ranks will come with their own objectives, adding EXP points to unlock new tiers around their narrative and the chances to save Runeterra.
