Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 25.S1.4. Highlights include new Masked Justice skins and long-awaited Mel adjustments.
These changes appeared on PBE on the 5th of February, but have been slowly shifting over the past week, and may continue to do so. As such, keep in mind that not all of these changes may make it to the live patch. If you’d like to check any of the following changes out before Wednesday, hop on PBE and queue up!
New Cosmetics - Masked Justice
A new skinline, Masked Justice, is debuting with Patch 25.S1.4. Three epic skins are being released—Masked Justice Lucian, Masked Justice Senna, and Masked Justice Yone. As Epic-tier skins, they'll come with new SFX, VFX, animations, and a new recall animation. Additionally, you can acquire up to eight chromas for each skin.
Dumpling Darlings Seraphine, which was initially supposed to be released with Patch 25.S1.3 will be delayed until the next patch, which goes live on March 5th.
Radiant Serpent Sett is leaving the Sanctum, and will, as far as we know, be unavailable for all time. Instead, you'll now be able to acquire Quantum Galaxy Slayer Zed through the Sanctum.
As a reminder, There is a 1% chance to get Quantum Galaxy Slayer Zed through the Sanctum each time you expend an Ancient Spark. Ancient Sparks cost 400 RP apiece, and you're guaranteed to unlock the Zed skin once you've used up 40 Ancient Sparks, rather than the usual 80. This is because Quantum Galaxy Slayer Zed is considered a variant of Galaxy Slayer Zed (a Legendary skin released in 2019).
