Wild Rift Lunar Beast: Schedule, Lunar Tokens, rewards, more

There were questions whether this was going to a smaller challenge-based event or a much more involved affair but it's safe to say Wild Rift's Lunar Beast event is the latter, coinciding not only with the Lunar New Year but also League of Legends' similarly named Lunar Beast event.
