over Summoner\u2019s Rift. The ground of the Rift is tainted red with blood. Spirits and demons rise throughout the jungle. Oh, and Jhin finally gets a new skin.In the past, Blood Moon was merely a line of champion skins that was released yearly. This year, Riot has turned it into a huge event with much more than just skins. The Blood Moon event comes to League of Legends this year with a ton of awesome new features, like a new game mode, a themed Summoner\u2019s Rift, and a healthy dose of angst. \u201cTo the Cult of the Blood Moon, the sign is clear. The heavens call for brutal sacrifice, and the cultists will take the night to slaughter anyone foolish enough to be caught beneath the looming orb,\u201d reads the official Blood Moon website.If you want more details on the event before you dive in, so you can be prepared to make sacrifices to the Blood Moon like a pro, we\u2019ve got you covered.New game mode: The Hunt of the Blood MoonThe new mode is set on a creepy version of Summoner's Rift, with players forced to sacrifice spirits, demons, and each other to appease the Blood Moon. For more details, be sure to check out our guide.Oh, and you can only play assassins and high-damage dealing divers. The game mode will be available for play this weekend and next weekend (Feb. 10 to 14 and again Feb. 17 to 21).All defensive items have been disabled, leaving only offensive items to promote maximum bloodshed.New Blood Moon skins for Jhin, Diana, Twisted Fate, and TalonEach of the new skins comes with its own story, to really drive home the whole \u201cmurder cult\u201d theme. You can find details about the skins, their stories, and skin bundles for sale on the official Blood Moon page.Blood Moon Jhin\u201cThe Blood Calligrapher\u2019s masterpieces are as beautiful as they are horrific. For him, each victim represents a new inkwell, and his canvas will be as broad as that ink will allow. The sanguine marks on the ground signify the Cult\u2019s power and deepen the artist\u2019s connection to the spirit world.\u201dBlood Moon Diana\u201cThe moon shines most vividly as the Blood Priestess approaches. Scarlet rays from the night sky beam down on her victims, and the lunar assassin is never far behind. Her ritual slaughter is done swiftly, her arcing blade glinting in the dark moonlight.\u201dBlood Moon Twisted Fate\u201cFew agree on the true nature of the Trickster Demon, who deals death from his deck of afflictions. Whether he is a demon from the spirit world or a mortal in a mask, quiet whispers spread conflicting rumors of his whereabouts. The truth belongs only to him\u2014and the spirits trapped in his cards.\u201dBlood Moon Talon\u201cAs precise as he is patient, the Blade Demon is thought to be the result of a broken symmetry between the blood moon and the earth, sent down from the deathly sky itself to collect its due. Silhouetted against the crimson moon, he descends on his victims from the canopy above.\u201dTo see all previously released Blood Moon skins, head to the website and scroll to the bottom.Icons & WardsThe Blood Moon event brings several new icons and one new ward skin to the game.Whether you\u2019re looking to spend some Riot Points on new goodies or hunt down victims for the Blood Moon, the event should be a blast. Get out there and have fun slaughtering your enemies.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/12041017\/9cde3019-3d9b-4cd8-9e40-939c87aa933b.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31647"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/910"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31647"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=31647"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=31647"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=31647"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=31647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
