Eternals are in-game stat trackers in League of Legends. They let you record specific moments and milestones on your favorite champions, like how many roots you’ve landed with Morgana or how many kills you’ve gotten after ulting with Miss Fortune.
They don’t change how you play, but they highlight what you do when you play.
What Are Eternals in LoL?
Eternals are stat trackers built into League of Legends. They count specific actions you take during games, like how many times you root enemies, get takedowns, or hit skillshots. Riot designed them as a way to highlight a player’s individual style and accomplishments, champion by champion.
Each champion has their own set of Eternals that track different things. For example, one Eternal might count how many enemies you knock up with Malphite’s ult. Another might count how many spells you hit while in Zoe’s bubble. The idea is to showcase moments that are unique to how that champion plays.
There are also universal Eternals, which are shared across all champions. These track more general stats, like your total takedowns or structures destroyed. These are usu
Some players use Eternals to show off mastery. Others just like the stats. They’re visible in-game to you and other players, usually when you hit a new milestone, like “10,000 Q hits” or “500 champions rooted”.
But if you don’t care about that sort of thing, you can ignore them. They don’t affect gameplay at all.
Are Eternals Gone?
Partly. Following the start of Act 1 of the Ionian Season (Season Two), Eternals have quietly stopped appearing in-game, although they still exist in the store.
It’s unknown if this is a bug, or a first step towards completely discontinuing Eternals.
Riot Games has not said anything on the matter yet.
How Do Eternals Work?
Eternals are grouped into sets, and each set contains three different stat trackers. These sets are specific to a champion and are unlocked using something called a Set Shard. Once you unlock a set, it starts tracking progress as soon as you equip it.
There are a few types of Eternal sets:
- Starter Series: These go for 225 RP or 2500 BE. Tracks basic stats like takedowns and structures destroyed.
- Series 1 and Series 2: These are paid sets. They track more specific, champion-unique actions—like “Enemies Hooked” for Blitzcrank or “Ultimate Kills” for Caitlyn. Series 1 and 2 each offer a different trio of stats.
You unlock Eternals by purchasing sets with RP (Riot Points), or by using Eternal Set Shards, which are random unlocks from loot or bundles.
Once equipped, Eternals start tracking your stats automatically. You’ll see on-screen popups when you hit milestones, which are broadcasted to all players in the game. You can also check your progress from your profile or champion page.
They’re persistent, too. You keep building progress across all games, as long as that Eternal is equipped.
What Is an Eternal Set or Shard?
An Eternal Set is a bundle of three stat trackers tied to a specific champion. For example, Ashe's eternals track how many times you've hit multiple champions with her W, or takedowns on enemies stunned by her R. When you unlock a set, you unlock all three trackers in it.
Once a set is unlocked, you equip it in the Loadouts tab for that champion. From there, it starts tracking stats automatically during your games. You can equip only one set at a time per champion, so if you own both Series 1 and Series 2, you’ll have to pick which one you want to display.
You’ll also see these stats in-game as milestone popups and on your profile’s Eternal section. It’s visual flair—but for stat lovers, it’s satisfying.
Are Eternals Worth It?
If you enjoy tracking your progress, showing off unique stats, or collecting cosmetic features, Eternals can feel worthwhile. However, they remain as some of the less-known features in League of Legends. It's a bit in the air if Riot would remove them, but they don't make the company a lot of money, and there's nobody going absolutely crazy about Eternals.
Starter Sets are generally regarded as a waste of time, but they're also not very expensive at all. A similar trend continues into other sets, where they're usually regarded as ultimately kind of useless and hard to notice, but they're also relatively cheap.
FAQs About Eternals
What do Eternals track?
Eternals track in-game actions like takedowns, skill uses, crowd control, healing, or specific champion mechanics. They’re built to highlight how you play, not just whether you win or lose. Some are universal (like “structures destroyed”), while others are tied to champion-specific skills.
Are Eternals cosmetic or impactful?
They’re purely cosmetic. Eternals don’t boost damage, unlock rewards, or affect gameplay. They just show off milestones in-game or on your profile. Think of them like trophies or badges.
Conclusion
If you like tracking progress, collecting achievements, or adding a bit of flair to your games, Eternals might be worth a look. However, most players don't tend to look at them very much.
Mastery points are generally at the top when it comes to bragging rights in League of Legends. Even then, they're always less valid than bragging about your actual performance in the game.
