Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Worlds Patch, Patch 25.20. New Flora Fatalis skins, and some pro-play oriented adjustments are inbound.
These changes appeared on PBE on the 24th of September, but have been slowly shifting over the past week, and may continue to do so. As such, keep in mind that not all of these changes may make it to the live patch. If you’d like to check any of the following changes out before Wednesday, hop on PBE and queue up!
New Cosmetics - Flora Fatalis
It’s not Halloween just yet, but Riot is already getting into the spooky spirit. A brand new skinline was teased on PBE on the 24th of September, and these three skins will be hitting the live servers on Wednesday. The new Flora Fatalis skins are a gorgeous blend of Elderwood and Bewitching, and the three lucky champions to get the first Flora Fatalis cosmetics are Fiddlesticks, Lissandra, and Soraka. Each skin is 1350 RP, Epic-tiered, and comes with new animations, sound effects, and a unique
recall.
Another skin that’s been added to the PBE store is Trials of Twilight Xin Zhao. This skin echoes the aesthetic of the current League of Legends Act, which is nearing its end. You’ll be able to pick up Trials of Twilight Xin Zhao for 1350 RP starting next week.
