On top of this, you have chromas, Mythic chromas, and the latest addition to the game are Mythic Variants. First introduced in Aug. 2023, the first Mythic Variant skin is Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin and it is loot-exclusive content that can\u2019t be obtained by any other means than opening up your wallet and cashing out for these cosmetics. Similar to Mythic chromas which rotate in Mythic shop, Mythic Variants are available only during a specific time window and won\u2019t come back. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Mythic Variants, including how they work and the list of Mythic Variant skins in League. What are Mythic Variants in League? Mythic Variants are loot-exclusive skin recolors that can be obtained only through specific loot boxes and during a certain period of time.\u00a0 These skins won\u2019t be purchasable in the shop and they won\u2019t be an entirely new skin. Instead, Riot will reuse and recolor older skins like Dark Cosmic Jhin and give it a new spin. In the case of Jhin, this means new abilities colors, new splash art, icons, and borders.\u00a0 For example, you can obtain Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin by opening a capsule, and you're guaranteed to get it within 30 capsules. Luckily, you don\u2019t need to own the original skin to get Mythic Variant and if you\u2019re lucky enough, you can get it through rerolling other skins.\u00a0 Why did Riot add Mythic Variants to League? According to Riot\u2019s blog post from Aug. 17, 2023, Mythic and Prestige skins have become all too available and don\u2019t feel special anymore. Instead of \u201ctrying to take away from players who are currently happy with the more accessible Prestige system,\u201d the devs introduced Mythic Variants to the game.\u00a0 Will Mythic Variants be available in the shop? No, these skins won\u2019t make it to the shop, at least not for now. Riot has stayed open to the idea of potentially adding them in the future, but nothing is guaranteed.
