With the release of the Sentinel couple Senna and Lucian, a new event complementing them has been surfaced. A Month of Ruin Event will start on the 9th of July, 2021 in Wild Rift. As the name suggests, it will stay for a whole month till the 10th of August. The players have the opportunity to join the Sentinels in their goal to stop the Black Mist and earn lots of rewards like special event icons, emotes, baubles, skin poses and spawn tags.
Recruitment
As the event will progress, more champions will join the Sentinels and their cause. While familiar faces will get new Sentinel of Light-based skins a completely new champion called Akshan will surface on the Wild Rift to help defeat the Ruination as well.

---|---|
Senna | Event Start |
Lucian | Event Start |
Vayne | 7/14 |
Riven | 7/20 |
Irelia | 7/20 |
Akshan | 7/28 |
Wild Rift A Month of Ruin Event: Sentinel Bond & Rewards
On the release of a Sentinel, one will build up a ‘Bond‘ with them. This is based on its level, which will provide the player with different types of rewards. Each level requires a total amount of XP required.
Sentinel Level | Total XP Required | Rewards |
---|---|---|
1 | 50 | Sentinel Bond I 150 Blue Motes |
2 | 150 | 250 Blue Motes |
3 | 350 | Sentinel Bond II 350 Blue Motes |
4 | 650 | 150 Poro Energy |
5 | 950 | Sentinel Bond III Champion Emote Lucian – Looking Good, Feeling Good Senna – My Hero Vayne – All According to Plan Riven – *Snrk!* Irelia – Victory Secured! Akshan – Magnifique! 150 Poro Energy |
Bonus | 1250 | 500 Poro Energy |
It is to be noted that the Bonus level will not count towards the HQ level.
Different emotes

The Bond with the Sentinel will start immediately once they join the Light. The player will unlock bond dialogues and other rewards after earning enough XP for a higher level. Some Sentinels will cap at level 3 at some point. This will not stop the earning of the XP, though. It will continue and get stored in the background until the story will evolve further thus unlocking the other levels.
Bond Dialogue
The Ruination has the power to corrupt even the strongest of Runeterra’s champions. Raising the Sentinel Bond will grant one access to some of the real intentions of the Sentinels in joining the forces. The bond will strengthen through more Sentinel XP and Sentinel Levels. Win or lose, every game does count as an opportunity to build a relationship with every Sentinel.
For each unlocked Sentinel Level, the corresponding orb for that Sentinel will glow. Tapping on the orb will start the Bond Dialogue of mentioned Sentinel. These dialogues will always start chronologically so there is no harm in unlocking multiple Bonds earlier.

You can earn Sentinel XP by achieving certain goals.

Wild Rift A Month of Ruin Event: Comic and Conversations
While defeating the Ruination, many familiar champions will join the Sentinels. It is on the player to find out how their stories will evolve by unlocking conversations through raising your HQ level. Whenever a new conversation is available, a chat bubble will appear above the Sentinel. But one must be aware that once a conversation is opened, one cannot repeat it again.
Additionally, there will be a comic about the whole event with illustrations and more insight into the lore. The comic will be available to every player after some time, regardless of their event progresses.
Charity Initiative
Riot Games has taken the opportunity of the event to start their latest social impact campaign, The Sentinels Initiative will support any cause and/or nonprofit by funding them through their Social Impact Fund. The players have a chance by nominating their cause or nonprofit to win a $10,000 grant from Riot Games.
A nice to be added is that for every HQ Level a player earns, Riot will increase their Charity Drive Pool by one point. Currently, they are standing on $1,000,000.
