Hextech Premium Chest Tips

20,686 views43 comments34 upvotes

Some of you may already know this, but I’m posting it just in case.

A helpful tip that’s surprisingly useful when leveling a smurf (since the skin is free)

First, the Premium Chest looks different from regular Hextech Chests.

While Hextech Chests have a blue glow, Premium Chests have a purple glow.

You get a Premium Chest when your summoner level reaches 5.

Its contents include a 975 RP skin, a ward skin, Orange Essence, and Blue Essence.

Here’s the important part.

You can get a champion skin shard for the champion of your choice!

The method is to buy the champion you want before opening the Premium Chest.

For example, if you buy Zed, you’ll get Shockblade or Championship, and if you buy Yasuo, you’ll get Blood Moon or High Noon.

If you’ve already opened your Premium Chest, you might be disappointed, but I hope those of you leveling smurfs get the skins you want. :D

      What do you mean? For example, if I don't want a Soraka skin but I already own Soraka, what then? I don't understand, sorry sorry...

      뿌우우So it's not always Soraka, but it gives a skin for a champion you already own. Soraka is still a possibility, though. :D Hope you get the skin you want!

      No, if it's your main account and not a smurf, you probably already own a ton of champs. So getting a specific champ's skin is tough, but you'll get a skin for a champ you already own. In my case, out of all my champs on my main, I got Guardian of the Sands Kha'Zix. (I don't even play Kha'Zix these days T.T) And if you don't own any champs, it's just a random 975 skin. (On my smurf, since I had no champs, I got Championship Shyvana and Kalista. How did both accounts end up with Championship... smh)

    I have a question: if all the skins of the champions I own are 975 RP or more, what would come out? For example, if the only champions I own are Xayah and Rakan, Star Guardian Xayah and Star Guardian Rakan are both 1350 RP each, so normally they shouldn't appear. I'm curious what would happen.

      I think I saw somewhere that if you don't have a champion, it just gives you any skin

      억 겁Yeah, that's how it works. 975 is fixed, so anything above or below doesn't come out.

      Along with the people I used to level smurf accounts with, we obtained the skin shard for that champion using this method.

    the free hextech chest you get at low levels always gives a skin for a champion you own like a mystery chest

      Yes, that's right. It gives a 975 RP skin for a champion you own.

    I know they give you Garen at the start, but if I already have Garen and I have one champion I bought, like Katarina, what would come out?

      Actually, smurf accounts get two boxes.

    2. LoL kr xkrOP

      One is the chest I explained in this post, and the other is the champion shard you mentioned (Garen and Ashe) and the skin shard that gives either Blood Garen or Robin Hood Ashe. Yeah.

      Some of the people leveling smurf accounts with me bought the champion they wanted before opening the chest, so um... Since the 975 skin seems to prioritize champions you own, I think it might give the skin of the last champion you purchased. ^^
