How Many Games To Get A Prestige Skin?

Asked by TheLadyMyra on March 19, 2021

In the newest post, I saw Sylas will be getting a Prestige skin later this year. I LOVE Sylas and want to try to get the skin when it releases but I've never bought a pass or tried for a Prestige skin before. How many games (estimated) would I need to play to get a Prestige skin?

around 3 games per day should be good

My biggest advice is, if you want to maximise token gain as much as possible play TFT (alongside your normal League games) while you do other things. Even better if you have multiple monitors, since you can easily view both the game and whatever else you're doing.

TFT normals are super low effort compared to the other modes but still have a decent token income, you just have to tab in after every fight and buy some more champs/put items on champs. Just whatever you do, don't intentionally throw/sabotage the games because it'll end up backfiring.

Does the TFT app count towards getting points?

I've never used the App so I can't personally say whether or not it works on granting tokens if the games are played via the App. Your best bet would be to try it when the pass comes out in a week or so.

I believe TFT gives a few points, but you'd have to play each game through, can't just afk them or you won't get anything. I'd rather just play normal games or smth, you'd get points faster from that.

You only have to play up until you're defeated, they recently changed it so you can't wait until a certain time threshold and leave to get the tokens, you now actually have to be present to lose.

As for token gain, it's not bad:
1-2 place: 8 tokens
3-4 place: 6 tokens
5-6 place: 4 tokens
7-8 place: 2 tokens

Considering my suggestion was to play them when you're unable to play normal games due to either time constraints or you don't have enough energy to throw yourself onto the Rift/Abyss, it ends up generating a lot of tokens for little effort during times you'd never be able to normally play. It's more down to maximising token gain to hit a goal (which in LadyMyra's case is the Sylas Prestige skin).

If all you're going for in the event shop is the prestige skin then it won't take very long.

You get 200 tokens for just purchasing the pass, around 1000 or so tokens awarded in weekly wins missions from the pass itself (these missions you complete by just playing games), Every win will also reward more tokens and every loss will reward less tokens but still give you some.

Back when I was grinding for prestige skins I only really played 2-3 games per day or so, but it all depends how much time you actually have available, some people could play 4-5 every day and thus will get the skin faster.
