The Lunar Beast is the Lunar New Year event in "League of Legends: Wild Rift," in celebration of the Year of the Ox. The event, which runs from Feb. 4 until Mar. 10, is set in the Lunar Beast universe, in the futuristic 2057 world loaded with neon lights, ancient temples and skyscrapers. During the event, players need to complete challenges to level up ancient Relics, with each Relic linked to one of the event's five champions.

To activate each Relic in the event, players should go to the Headquarters menu and then get into games to complete the challenges. This must be done one Relic at a time. The Relics include the Lunar Spear -Jarvan IV, Lunar Flintlocks - Miss Fortune, Lunar Blade - Fiora, Lunar Bear - Annie, Lunar Axe - Darius and Lunar Gauntlets - Alistair.
