Prestige Battle Lion Leona refines the Anima Squad look into a high-fashion hero suit: crisp white panels, glossy gold trims, and subtle purple undertones that read clean and premium in motion. Compared to base Leona’s heavy blue Demacian plate, this model is lighter and more tailored, with a gleaming lion-crest shield and a slimmer blade silhouette that fits the Anima Squad tech theme. Gold metals are polished, fabrics read satin rather than leather, and accents aim for that “spotlight" finish typical of Prestige skins.
VFX pivot from warm solar orange to a purple-and-gold palette across her kit, giving her stuns, shields, and ult a cooler sci‑fi shine while keeping Leona’s impact readable. Q pops with tight gold flashes, W wraps her in a pale golden dome before bursting, E prints a sleek violet trail with gold motes, and R lands with a thin gold ring and a clean white-gold flash at the center. There are no new animations or VO here; the recall and motion match Battle Lion Leona, and the sound mix feels a touch brighter to match the color shift.
This version fits neatly into the Anima Squad universe—stylized, anime-inspired sentai heroes fighting the Primordians—but swaps the field-gear feel for award-show glam. It nods to fashion-runway “prestige" looks rather than a specific pop-culture gag, and its unique draw is the upscale finish: ornate gold trims, cleaner VFX hues, and upgraded materials without changing gameplay reads.
Release date: July 31, 2024, as part of the Anima Squad 2024 event for 2000 Event Tokens.
Related champion updates: V4.17 Texture update; V12.7 Updated VFX; V13.18 New ability icons (these affect Leona’s overall presentation and icons used across her skins).
AnimaTech is a near‑future sci‑fi universe where elite heroes fight a high‑tech alien invasion from the deep. The look leans on sleek armor, clean silhouettes, bold color accents, and reclaimed alien tech.
This universe officially includes two thematics: Anima Squad (human defenders using salvaged tech) and Primordian (the evolving bio‑android invaders). Humanity shelters in Final City while both sides escalate the war with new suits, weapons, and adaptations.
Yes—Prestige Battle Lion Leona is rare because it was locked behind the Anima Squad 2024 event token shop and isn’t sold in the store. It typically costs 125 Mythic Essence when it returns to the Mythic Shop; for collectors, you can also check curated accounts here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
You can’t buy it directly now. It may rotate into the Mythic Shop for Mythic Essence and can sometimes drop from event or loot sources with low odds; if you want it today without grinding, browse verified listings here: Buy LoL Accounts.
It’s great if you like clean white‑gold armor with purple highlights and a prestige finish. But many players still love Solar Eclipse Leona and Lunar Eclipse Leona for their strong theme shift and distinct VFX—compare them all here: All Leona Skins.
Legacy skins are still obtainable thanks to our high end account store which features League of Legends accounts with the rarest skins at the best prices.
