Riot Games has added Mythic Chromas to League of Legends, a a new type of skin cosmetic which will start with a new recolour for Veigar.
The Tiny Master of Evil will be getting a Mythic Chroma (pictured) for his Final Boss legendary skin, which is on the public beta environment (PBE) now and is set to arrive in patch 12.12 on Thursday June 23rd 2022.
A chroma is a type of cosmetic in League of Legends that offers an alternate colour for a particular champion skin.
Riot DW Platypus said on Reddit that Mythic Chromas “are elevated chromas that apart from having new textures, will also have a much requested feature – recolored abilities’ VFX”, and that all Mythic Chromas will be priced at 40ME.
“We intend to launch these chromas for legendary skins and our current mythic skinline – Ashen Knights, with one Mythic Chroma being released for every two patches.”

“Mythic Chromas will not have changes to model geometry, VOs or SFX. They are intended to be selectable in champion select like every other chroma and will also require a parent skin to buy and use in game.”
Some Reddit users criticised the 40ME price for Mythic Chromas, saying it’s too expensive for what it is.
The news comes after Riot announced changes to mythic skins currency at the start of the year, in the League of Legends 2022 Season announcement.
Riot has already released Ashen Knight Pyke and recently announced Ashen Knight Pantheon, both of which will receive a free VFX upgrade later this year. Ashen Knight Pyke is also getting an Emberwoken Chroma.
In other recent League of Legends loot news, changes were announced as part of Prime Gaming’s June 2022 game content announcement.
