In League of Legends, the skins are not only an important source of revenue for Riot, many players enjoy playing their favorite champions in a new outfit. However, since last year, there have been controversial gacha skins that require you to dig deep into your pockets. A player explains how to do this most efficiently.
What are the gacha skins? With the release of Arcane Season 2, the first Exalted skin was released. These are special skins that can only be found in the Sanctum. This is a gacha mechanic where you buy Sparks that unlock random cosmetic items. Previously, there were also the Mythic Chromas.
The biggest prize is the Exalted skin, which you can unlock with a probability of 0.5%. However, after 80 pulls, you are guaranteed to receive the skin. For this, you need 32,000 RP, but you can only buy a package of 33,500 RP for €244.99 in the store. The current Exalted skin is Sahnz-Uzal Mordekaiser.
This skin has been criticized by players because you either need a lot of luck or have to invest a lot of money. A player has now presented a method to obtain the skin and maybe even save some money.

What is this method? The user Spoons-C shows in a Reddit thread with over 3000 upvotes a method for players who desperately want to obtain the new Mordekaiser skin. He also emphasizes that this method is for people who want to get the skin. He does not want to encourage anyone.
Instead of going for the large package of 33,500 RP, he recommends taking a gradual approach:
- 1. Get the RP package for €4.99 (at this step, you have a chance of 0.5%)
- 2. Get the RP package for €10.99 (at this step, you have a chance of 1.99%)
- 3. Get the RP package for €10.99 (at this step, you have a chance of 3.92%)
- 4. Get the RP package for €10.99 (at this step, you have a chance of 5.38%)
- 5. Get the RP package for €21.99 (at this step, you have a chance of 8.66%)
- 6. Get the RP package for €34.99 (at this step, you have a chance of 13.93%)
- 7. Get the RP package for €49.99 (at this step, you have a chance of 21.32%)
- 8. Get the RP package for €99.99 (after this step, you will have had 80 pulls and a chance of 100%)
It is important that you pull at every step, as this gives you a chance to get the skin earlier. 1 in 5 players can save €100 through this method and get the skin early. However, note that with this method you receive 1,500 RP less than if you buy the large package for €244.99.
Is this a valid method? Even with this method, it is very expensive. Only if you absolutely want the skin should you consider spending so much money.
Even if you draw the skin before the 80 pulls
, it is likely that you will spend over €100 for it. With that, you could buy 10 regular skins.
Additionally, it is also a very labor-intensive method, as you have to buy RP packages 8 times. Whether it is worth it for a single skin is something everyone must decide for themselves.
Since the release of the Exalted skins, Riot has been criticized by parts of the player base. This is also because many skins, according to the opinion of some players, do not justify their high price. However, the community also has criticisms of free skins: LoL: Players hate a new skin that repeats exactly the mistakes Riot made 2 months ago
