LoL Eternals Explained: Series, Milestones, Capsules
Eternals are champion-specific stat trackers in League of Legends: each set follows a few stats for one champion (hooks hit, dunks, kills), pops a callout in game when you pass a milestone, and shows your progress on the loading-screen card and the enemy’s death screen. You buy them per champion or as a Series Pass that unlocks a whole Series for every champion forever, you can also pull them from free Eternals Capsules with Orange Essence, five milestones unlock a Personal Best tracker and fifteen milestones across a set upgrade the champion’s Mastery emote. There is no level requirement and you do not need to own the champion.

What an Eternal tracks
| Element | Riot’s description |
|---|---|
| Milestones | Unique and general gameplay milestones per champion; a callout appears on the side of the screen when you reach one |
| Personal Best | Unlocked after five milestones on any Eternal; tracks your all-time single-match best and fires a callout for everyone when you beat it |
| Mastery emote flair | Upgraded automatically after fifteen milestones across all Eternals in a set, Starter Series included; any Eternal in the set counts |
| Player Showcase | Featured Eternals on the back of your champion card in the loading screen and on enemies’ death screens when you kill them (toggle with N while dead) |
| Legacy Eternals | When a rework removes a tracked stat, the Eternal is marked Legacy, keeps its number, can still be featured, and is replaced for free later |
| Progression tab | Collection → champion → Progression shows unlocked and locked Eternals, milestones and Personal Bests |
Series, sets and the six archetypes
Eternals come in Series. New and reworked champions get their Starter Series and other Series sets “a patch or two” after release. Each Eternal is themed on one of six Runeterran archetypes that Riot describes as deities whose flame burns brighter as your favor grows:
| Archetype | Playstyle it rewards |
|---|---|
| The Warden | Controlling enemies and the flow of battle |
| The Protector | Keeping yourself and allies in the fight |
| The Empress | Superior demonstration of skill in the heat of battle |
| The Guide | Following the path to victory, or opening one for allies |
| The Warrior | Crushing foes mercilessly on the battlefield |
| The Trickster | Deceitful mind games or premeditated chaos |
How to get Eternals
| Route | How it works | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Per champion | Buy a set from the champion detail page (Progression section) or the Eternals tab in the Store | Riot’s suggested option if you only care about your mains |
| Series Pass | Unlocks all Eternals in that Series for every current and future champion, forever | Buying the Series 1 Pass covers Series 1 for champions released later too |
| Eternals Capsules | Free loot from missions or from playing a ranked game during events; contains two random RP-only Eternal Set Shards plus Orange Essence | Shards are unlocked with Orange Essence, like skin shards in Hextech loot |
| Gifting | Not available | “At this time you cannot gift Eternals” |
| Refund | Allowed under the Store’s refund policy | Refunding resets that Eternal’s stats to zero |
Prices in RP and Blue Essence are shown in the client store and are not listed on Riot’s FAQ, so we do not quote them here.
Settings, modes and edge cases
| Question | Riot’s answer |
|---|---|
| Can I hide milestone callouts? | Display options are All On, Self, Team Only or None; Eternals still show on enemies’ death screens and on the loading-screen card |
| Do they track in every mode? | No. Some modes such as ARURF do not track Eternals. The Points Eligibility info next to the queue name in the lobby shows an Eternals icon when the queue counts |
| Does switching the featured Eternal reset stats? | No, every owned Eternal keeps tracking whether featured or not |
| Do I need to own the champion? | No |
| Is there a level requirement? | No, Eternals work from level 1 |
| Can milestones change? | Riot may re-tune milestones after champion or meta changes, but you keep the stats already earned |
Eternals sit next to Champion Mastery rather than inside it: Mastery levels come from Mastery Points and Marks, which our mastery calculator counts, while Eternals only decorate the Mastery emote once a set reaches fifteen milestones.
