World Adventures and Champion Campaigns

There are a two types of modes to choose from when playing The Path of Champions: World Adventures and Champion Campaigns.

World Adventures

There are ten World Adventures in The Path of Champions 2.0 – one for each region, with each adventure having specific requirements to fulfill before they can be completed.

To unlock World Adventures of higher difficulties, you need to complete at least one World Adventure from the previous tier. So, to unlock 1.5-Star World Adventures, for example, you’ll have to first complete all requirements in a 1-Star World Adventure.

To complete a World Adventure, you’ll need to win using champions that fit the requirements under the Completion section.

When attempting a run, be sure to choose your champion wisely, as you can only beat one slot at a time and each champion can only fulfill one slot – even if the requirements overlap. Also, if a champion fulfills the requirements for an empty regional slot, it will count towards that slot first.

Each World Adventure is different, and has different completion requirements. Some will have one slot, others two slots, and others still three slots. Plus, future World Adventures may have even more!

While you can use any champion to play a World Adventure, you won’t be contributing to its completion unless you win with a champion that fits one of the slots. This means you may have to beat some World Adventures multiple times with various champions to complete it.

Any attempt with any champion will always earn CXP based on how far you get. So even if you don’t make it through to the end, you’ll at least be rewarded for the progress you made.

For each slot you beat, you’ll receive a bundle of rewards that can include:

• Legend Points
• Cosmic Vaults
• Relics
• Champion Fragments

If you won the Adventure, you’ll receive a rank based on your remaining health. You’ll also receive a badge to commemorate your achievement, so you can compare your progress to future runs with the same or other champions.

Champion Campaigns

There are 24 Champion Campaign Adventures in The Path of Champions 2.0, two for each Champion.

Unlike World Adventures, Champion Campaigns are unique for each champion and have their own champion-specific rewards.

You can only have one adventure of any kind in progress at a time. You won’t be able to start another until you’ve finished your current run.

Each time you unlock a champion, you unlock their Campaign.

Each Champion Campaign has multiple Adventures to play through of varying difficulties and unlock requirements. Each Adventure will clearly state what you’ll have to do to unlock it.

Any attempt at a Campaign Adventure is rewarded with Champion XP based on how far you get in your run. So even if you don’t make it through to the end, you’ll at least be rewarded for the progress you made. If you complete a Campaign Adventure, you’ll be handsomely rewarded with a variety of loot, including:

• Legend Points
• Cosmic Vaults
• Campaign-Exclusive Relics
• Champion Fragments

If you won the Adventure, you’ll receive a rank based on your remaining health. You’ll also receive a badge to commemorate your achievement, so you can compare your progress to future runs with the same or other champions.

Champion Level and Champion Stars

Your Champions have two mode of progression – levels and stars. More details are provided in a character’s respective guides.

• Champion Levels: Champion XP (CXP) is earnt based on the adventure’s difficulty level. As your champions gain levels, they’ll earn permanent buffs such as deck upgrades, items, Relic slots, and more. The current maximum level is 30, with a plan to expand in the future.
• Champion Stars: Use Champion Fragments to grant your champions Stars to award them game-changing Powers or upgrade abilities.

---

Champion Fragments

Champion Fragments are resources that are unique to each champion. You can use them to:

• Unlock champions: 30 Fragments (other than Jinx)
• Increase a champion’s Stars:
  • 10 Fragments for 1 Star
  • 20 Fragments for 2 Stars
  • 40 Fragments for 3 Stars

You can get Cosmic Vaults contain Champion Fragments. They are obtained by:

• Completing Daily and Weekly Quests
• Raising your Legend Level
• Completing Champion Campaign Adventures and World Adventures
• Completing Chapter Quests (Jinx, Lux, or Yasuo Fragments guaranteed)

---

Relics

Relics are items your champions can equip that provide them with upgraded stats and passive abilities. The rarer the relic, the stronger its power.

The Relics feature unlocks at Legend Level 5. Relics themselves can be unlocked on their own or found within reliquaries (relic chests) by playing World or Campaign adventures and completing quests. Here are some of the reliquaries you can come across when completing content:

• Bronze Reliquary – Contains a guaranteed Common relic with chance of upgrading to a Rare relic
• Silver Reliquary – Contains a guaranteed Rare relic

Complete the second adventure of each champion’s Campaign to be awarded an exclusive relic you won’t find anywhere else.

You can own up to three copies of the same relic. Any extra copies after the third will turn into a number of Green Shards based on the relic’s rarity (much like when you have extra copies of cards).

More relics and reliquaries will be added as The Path of Champions expands.

Champions typically have three relic slots. As long as you’re at least Legend Level 5, a champion’s first relic slot becomes available as soon as they are unlocked. The other two unlock at Champion Levels 13 and 25.

Each slot begins as a Common relic slot, meaning they can only take Common relics. As your champion levels up, those slots become Rare relic slots that can be used to hold either a Common or Rare relic. The three slots upgrade one-at-a-time at champion levels 8, 19, and 25.

Each common and rare relic can be equipped to any number of champions at the same time even if you only have one copy.
