#SwarmFTW

The Primordian hordes have been unleashed on Final City and only EMEA’s charismatic content creators and personalities can save the day… or something like that.


Starting 18 July, to celebrate the launch of Swarm, League’s newest PvE mode, we’re hosting a month-long challenge event for invited creators with huge rewards up for grabs. Every single creator taking part will be able to earn over 100 Hextech and Masterwork Chests to give away to their communities, in addition to new Anima Squad merch and skins depending on their performance in the leaderboards.


The challenge will unfold on FTW, where everyone can keep tabs on the individual leaderboards and jump to creators’ social channels to watch their progress.

EMEA’s Anima Squad

Over 150 brave souls have currently enlisted in EMEA Creator Challenge: Swarm, including several familiar faces from LEC, with more creators expected to join as the challenge unfolds.



Challenge Details

Similar to previous EMEA creator challenges, #SwarmFTW consists of multiple objectives within the overall challenge, each with their own distinct leaderboards and rewards to be earned. The Swarm challenge respects skill above all else, making sure that it’s not just about the creator who grinds the most.



Ongoing Objective (aka Bunny Drops!)

EVERY creator taking part in the challenge can earn up to 100 Hextech Chests + Keys and 25 Masterwork Chests + Keys to give away while the challenge is live. All they have to do is earn points by playing Swarm. There are even more rewards for the top five creators by points at the end of the challenge.

  • +1pt Survive 10 minutes

  • +1pt Inflict over 3M total damage

  • +1pt Evolve at least one weapon per game

  • +5pts Complete a map (with a bonus point earned if playing with a full squad)

NOTE: Specific values for earning points are subject to change as the challenge progresses.

🏆 Rewards

  • 1st Place: 12x Anima Squad skins and champions, 1x Anima Squad Bomber Jacket, 4x Anima Squad Battle Bunny Caps

  • 2nd Place: 8x Anima Squad skins and champions, 4x Anima Squad Primordian Aatrox Tees

  • 3rd Place: 4x Anima Squad skins and champions, 4x Anima Squad Seraphine Ringer Tees

  • 4th Place: 4x Anima Squad skins and champions, 4x Anima Squad Battle Bunny Caps

  • 5th Place: 4x Anima Squad skins and champions, 4x Battle Bunny Tibbers Plushes

  • EVERY CREATOR:

    • 50pts = 15x Hextech Chests + Keys

    • 100pts = 10x Masterwork Chests + Keys

    • 250pts = 25x Hextech Chests + Keys

    • 500pts = 15x Masterwork Chests + Keys

    • 1000pts = 60x Hextech Chests + Keys


Event Objectives

Lasting the full length of the Swarm challenge, these objectives offer big opportunities for rewards as well as leaderboard disruption over time. Anima Squad merch, skins and champions will be offered to the top three creators in each objective.


🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Squad Up: Most maps completed with a team of four in one day. The total map count will reset at 04:00 UTC each day with the leaderboard tracking the creator’s highest achieved count.


🔫 Locked And Loaded: Highest number of Evolved Weapons in one day. The total Evolved Weapon count will reset at 04:00 UTC each day with the leaderboard tracking the creator’s highest achieved count. Weapons evolve when paired with the correct passive upgrade (e.g. Movement Speed) and at maximum level.


💀 Squished: Most Primordians killed in one day across all matches. The total kill count will reset at 04:00 UTC each day with the leaderboard tracking the creator’s highest achieved count. We’re tracking the individual player, not the entire squad.


📈 Over 9000!: Most damage inflicted in one game with at least four Evolved Weapons in your arsenal. Again, we’re tracking the individual player, not the entire squad. As a reminder, you can carry a maximum of five weapons when playing Swarm, so we pulled back the difficulty a little bit…


🤫 SECRET: To add a little drama, there is a secret, hidden event objective where you can track the performance of creators, but have no idea what they’re ranking for. It could offer bragging rights, it could be something they wouldn’t be too proud of… we’ll reveal the details once the challenge concludes.



Daily Objectives

Last but not least, EMEA Creator Challenge: Swarm will have a fresh leaderboard every day with a unique objective focused on a specific Champion, weapon or in-game statistic. Rewards will be available for the top three creators, with each Daily Objective ending/starting at 04:00 UTC.


Check in regularly with FTW to learn about each day’s objective and the performance of your favourite creators.
