Wild Rift Protectors of Ionia Event: How to Unlock Karma and Shen for Free
The League of Legends: Wild Rift Protectors of Ionia event has been released alongside the patch 3.1 update. The event will start on 24th March and will last until early April. However, the event shop will stay one week longer than the event duration for players, so that they won’t miss out on the rewards found in the event shop. The Protectors of Ionia event features two new champions - Shen and Karma, which can be unlocked for free during the event period. There will also be in-game resources up for grabs such as Blue Motes, Poro Energy, emotes, profile borders, Baubles, Champion Poses, and more.
