How do you earn Orange Essence?
When you draw a skin you already own, you receive Orange Essence instead. The amount depends on the rarity of the duplicate.
What can you spend it on?
Buy Extra Chests
100 Orange Essence per additional chest draw
Unlock Specific Skins
Purchase any skin directly from the Skins page
Unlock Skins Directly
Use Orange Essence to get the skins you want
Don't want to rely on luck? Browse the Skins page and unlock any skin directly with Orange Essence. Costs vary by rarity:
Tip: This is especially useful when you're only missing a few skins to complete a collection.
Complete Collections
Collect all skins in a set and earn bonus points
Champion Collections
Every champion has a collection. Collect all of a champion's skins to complete it. Progress is tracked with a percentage bar.
Skinline Collections
Skins are also grouped by theme (e.g. K/DA, PROJECT, Star Guardian). Complete an entire skinline for bonus rewards.
Collection Rewards
When you reach 100% completion on a collection, you can claim a one-time point reward. The reward is based on:
- Base reward: 500 points

Tips & Tricks
Strategies to maximize your collection
Use your free draws daily
Draws reset every day at midnight UTC. Don't let them go to waste!
Save Essence for targeted unlocks
When you're 1-2 skins away from completing a collection, unlock them directly.
Focus on small collections first
Champions with fewer skins are easier to complete and still give great rewards.
Sort collections by progress
Use the progress sort on the Collections page to see which sets you're closest to finishing.
