2018 Versus event guide: Crafting, missions and more

Versus is back this year, but instead of Riven and Yasuo facing off, Riot is bringing out one of the game’s most notorious rivals: Darius and Garen. Both of the characters are high-ranked military officers from their respective faction and are known for being at each other’s throats. Now, you can pick a side and decide who you want to support, while getting some loot in return.

This event goes on from June 27 at 12:00 p.m. ET until July 10 at 2:59 a.m. ET.

In addition to the Legendary-tier God King Darius and Garen skins you’ll be able to buy, there are emotes and icons you can buy to rep your team.

There’s also the usual confusing loot boxes that only contain certain series of skins. We’ll dive into all of that.

Crafting

Through completing missions, you can craft tokens you get into loot. You only can get 190 VS Tokens total from missions, so choose what you want wisely. You can of course, buy bundles that include more tokens. Here’s the full list of loot you can get:

• God-King Garen loading screen border, God-King Garen Icon, and Crown of Lions Icon (150 VS Tokens)
• God-King Darius loading screen border, God-King Darius Icon, and Crown of Wolves Icon (150 VS Tokens)
• Lion Orb (80 VS Tokens)
• Wolf Orb (80 VS Tokens)
• Little Lion Icon and Divine Lion Icon (40 VS Tokens)
• Little Wolf Icon and Forsaken Wolf Icon (40 VS Tokens)
• Random Champion Shard [worth 4800+ Blue Essence] (40 VS Tokens)
• Key Fragment (15 VS Tokens)
• 10 Blue Essence (1 VS Token)

That being said, there are three types of loot boxes that are exclusive to this event.

Lion Orb (250 RP or 80 VS Tokens)

Riot Games

This contains one random skin shard and has a small chance to drop Gemstones, Gemstone skins, a VS Bag, or Orange Essence.

Wolf Orb (250 RP or 80 VS Tokens)

Riot Games

This is essentially the same as the Lion Orb, but instead of Orange Essence, there is a small chance to drop a random skin shard of equal value to the guaranteed skin shard.

VS Bag (drops from Wolf and Lion Orb)

Riot Games

These bags have five skin shards for champions all from the same faction. This pretty much means you might get a Demacia bag, which can have skins from Fiora, Garen, Jarvan IV, Quinn, Vayne and the rest of the gang, or a similar bag from any other region.

Missions

There are a lot of missions this time around and they differ depending on whose side you pick. You get some exclusive loot through them, so you’re probably going to want to get on that grind. Some of the missions appear daily and some only unlock as you complete other ones.

All of the daily missions reward 5 VS Tokens, which you can craft into loot. Both complete quest lines give a VS emote as the final reward.
