"This would be easier if blood came in more colors."
With every brushstroke, Blood Moon Jhin paints the fate of another victim. Death is certain. But killing doesn't have to be ugly.
The Bloody Details
- All-new model and textures (A new demonic look for our favorite killer artist.)
- All-new VFX (Bloody ink splatters his enemies!)
- All-new SFX (Curtain Call has new Blood Moon-themed music!)
- All-new animations (Wonder where he got all that red ink...)
- Set to be 1350 RP (prices are subject to change)
We always love hearing your feedback and feelings! All bug reports and thoughts help us make these skins even more awesome, so please keep 'em coming!
Thanks, cuties! <3"
"Eventually, my blades will find their way into your heart."
Under the night's sanguine glow, Blood Moon Talon vaults toward his target without a sound. In the blink of an eye, he quenches his blade's thirst and vanishes into the crimson moonlight.
The Fine Points
- All-new model and textures (The Noxian assassin's got some new demonic clothes.)
- All-new VFX (Crimson blades to cut through your enemies!)
- All-new SFX (Bloody magic empowers his blades.)

Blood Moon Twisted Fate

"Destiny sees blood in the heavens. His cards draw blood on the earth.
Note: His recall VFX is still unfinished, he should be walking into a spooky portal!
Ritual Items
- Completely new model! (so hooded!)
- New VFX! (spooky Destiny eye!)
- New SFX! (mysterious cards!)
- New recall! (crossing the gate!)
- Set to be 1350 RP (*pricing subject to change)
We'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings on Blood Moon Twisted Fate as you take a first look at this in-progress skin! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :]
See you on the Rift!"
New Ward Skin
To go along with our new Blood Moon champion skins we also have a BLOOD DEMON ward skin!Blood Demon Ward
"Assassin Mode" Strings & Assets
Joining the new Blood Moon skins comes assets for a new "Assassin Mode" game mode! Based on numerous strings and files added in today's update, this new mode will include a point system, spirit and demons to kill, big damage buffs, and more!

Notes
- wav3break on Camille PBE changes - "Current nerf list is tentative and very potent. Our goal isn't to gut her, but a fairly decent nerf is incoming. The final nerf lines will most likely look like a well trimmed version of the current stuff on PBE."
- The new Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank and Amumu skins that debuted in the 7.2 cycle were removed from the game in today's PBE. I am Carlos has posted on the PBE boards noting these skins will not be released and discusses why they made the call to remove them.
"Hey everyone,
Carlos “I am Carlos” here, I’m a producer on the skins team, and I want to share an update about Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank and Amumu. After receiving some feedback about the skins, we’ve decided to not release them going forward.
Sometimes we work on things that just don’t end up hitting our quality bar. And usually, we try to cut those things well before they actually hit PBE, but in this case we were a little too late. The truth is neither Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank nor Sewn Chaos Amumu hit the quality expected of our recent skins, so we’re making the call to remove them.
So what does this mean for Blitz and Amumu skins in the immediate future? Well, we’re going to head back to the lab and figure out how to give both champs the skins they deserve. And we’d like to hear your ideas for skins that would best represent these champs.
We don’t have an exact timeline for when these two will have new skins come out, but we can promise that we will not forget about them. As always, thanks for having patience with us as we figure out how to approach these problems.
If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below and we’ll make sure to get to them as soon as possible.
Thanks,
I am Carlos
PS: Since we’re making this call late, you’ll likely see some of the assets attached to these skins in LCU, but they won’t be available for purchase, and we will be removing them come next patch."
