Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 25.23. Highlights include Zaahen's release, new Rain Shepherd skins, and updates to Arcane Fractured Jinx!
These changes appeared on PBE on the 5th of November, 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
Two new champions are joining Fizz and Milio at the pond in Patch 25.23! You’ll be able to buy Rain Shepherd Gwen and Rain Shepherd Tristana starting Wednesday for 1350 RP. Both Epic skins come with eight Chroma options; though I think we’d all agree the green and blue are iconic for this skinline.
While Zaahen is missing the raincoat and froggy friends, his debut skin will also be a beautiful green and blue! Pick up Immortal Journey Zaahen when the champion drops this Wednesday for 1350 RP.
To celebrate the anniversary of the finale of Arcane, the Transcendent Arcane Fractured Jinx will be returning to the Sanctum with a plethora of upgrades. Check out the video below to get an in-depth overview of the newly-updated skin. Arcane Fractured Jinx has a 0.5% drop chance in the Sanctum, but is a guaranteed drop after 80 pulls.
Roughly, the changes included:
New game start effect
Smoothed out animations, for each form
Updated models for each form
Unique visual effects and models for Flame Chompers (E), for each form
Unique homeguard visuals for each form
Updated sound effects for the Recall and Flame Chompers (E)
New Champion – Zaahen
A brand new brusier is joining the roster, ready to take on the top lane. Learn everything you need to know about Zaahen in our previous article, and get ready to unleash this Darkin-destroyer on the Rift on Wednesday. You can still hop on PBE and give him a go before he goes live by logging onto PBE today.
