Riot has revealed new matching Diana and Leona skins under the Eternal Aspects theme, giving the long-linked moon and sun champions another paired cosmetic set. The headline details are already clear: both base skins are Legendary tier, Diana is also getting a Mythic variant, and the release window points to late May if the current preview information holds.
The reveal is already drawing a familiar reaction. For many players, the big appeal is not just that Diana and Leona finally have another direct duo release, but that Riot is leaning back into the celestial contrast that has followed both champions for years. At the same time, some of the early discussion is asking whether these new looks feel fresh enough, especially because Leona already has some of the game’s most recognizable sun-themed skins.
What the Eternal Aspects theme looks like
Eternal Aspects frames Diana and Leona as opposing but linked celestial forces, built around silver moon and golden sun imagery. The trailers repeatedly lean on that contrast, with dialogue about an “untiring hymn,” “sun and moon in perfect step,” and a conflict that sounds older and more mythic than a standard alternate-universe skin line.
Visually, Leona appears to be the brighter half of the pair, wrapped in radiant gold, fire, and solar iconography. Diana, by contrast, carries the colder lunar styling, silver-blue effects, and a darker eclipse-adjacent mood. The Mythic version pushes Diana further into that corrupted or intensified eclipse direction, which helps explain why much of the early talk around the line has focused on her variant as much as the two base Legendaries.
That is also why the pairing feels so natural. Diana and Leona have been tied together by moon and sun imagery for years, and Eternal Aspects leans directly into that connection rather than trying to replace it with something entirely new. Instead of reworking the champions’ core identities, Riot is building on one of the clearest thematic links in League of Legends.
The official reveal trailer especially sells the shared identity of the release, with both champions presented less as isolated cosmetics and more as two halves of one story. That is likely a big reason the skin line is already landing as a matched event for fans of both characters rather than just another pair of same-patch releases.
Tier, cost, and release date
Based on the preview details circulating alongside the reveal, Eternal Aspect Leona and Eternal Aspect Diana are both Legendary skins priced at 1,820 RP. Diana’s Mythic variant is listed separately and is currently being presented as a Sanctum-based cosmetic with a ceiling of 16,000 RP through rolls, rather than a normal store purchase.
| Skin | Tier | Expected price | Release timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eternal Aspect Leona | Legendary | 1,820 RP | May 27, if current preview info holds |
| Eternal Aspect Diana | Legendary | 1,820 RP | May 27, if current preview info holds |
| Eternal Aspect Diana Mythic Variant | Mythic variant | Up to 16,000 RP via Sanctum rolls | Expected alongside the base release |
As for the date, the current preview points to May 27. Riot’s official social rollout has attached that date to the skin reveal, though players should still treat it as the expected release timing until the relevant store update or patch rollout is fully live on the League of Legends side.
That pricing setup is a major part of the early conversation. The Legendary tags themselves are standard enough for premium modern skins, but the Mythic variant has reignited frustration around higher-end acquisition systems and the wider move away from the older paired-variant model some players still prefer.
TFT pointed to the Diana and Leona skins before the reveal
There is a reason the new skins looked familiar to some players. Diana and Leona had already appeared in TFT Set 17: Space Gods as part of the Arbiter lineup before Riot formally revealed Eternal Aspect Diana and Eternal Aspect Leona for League of Legends.
That also adds one more wrinkle to the crossover. LeBlanc appears in the same TFT Arbiter lineup, but unlike Diana and Leona, she is not part of this League of Legends skin release. In practice, that means players are seeing a shared TFT skin theme, while only Diana and Leona are making the jump into League as Eternal Aspects.
That does not necessarily mean Riot had already published the League skins under the same names, but it does explain why some early “leak” posts turned out to be directionally correct. The TFT set had effectively exposed Diana and Leona in matching cosmic-styled forms before the official League skin trailers went live, and players in the Reddit discussion pointed to those TFT models as proof that the reveal was coming.
The safest way to frame it is that TFT appears to have previewed the visual concept first, while League is now releasing the full PC skins as Eternal Aspects. In other words, the theme was already visible in Space Gods, even if the final League presentation, naming, and monetization arrived later.

Why players keep bringing up Leona’s older sun skins
A lot of the discussion around Leona is not about whether the skin looks bad. It is about whether Riot is revisiting a fantasy that was already explored at a very high level with Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse Leona. That makes this new release unusually difficult to judge in isolation, because players are comparing it against one of the champion’s strongest existing cosmetic themes almost immediately.
That concern is understandable. Leona’s identity has always been tied closely to solar symbolism, while Diana’s has always been bound to moon imagery. So when Riot releases them together, the skin line naturally invites side-by-side comparisons not only between the two new skins, but also against their older catalogs.
For a closer look at the back catalogs behind those comparisons, the community-run Leona cosmetics page and Diana cosmetics page make the overlap easy to track. Leona’s side in particular explains why some fans immediately said Eternal Aspect has to compete with Eclipse before it can stand on its own.

The side-by-side view makes it easier to see why Eternal Aspects is drawing so many comparisons, especially with Leona’s long history of sun-themed skins and Diana’s moon and cosmic-themed lineup.

What Reddit is saying about the reveal
The reaction on the linked Reddit thread is mixed, but the themes are consistent. One group likes the skins overall, especially the presentation, voice work, and the fact that Diana and Leona are getting a paired release that plays directly into their shared celestial identity. Another group thinks the line looks too close to what Riot has already done before, especially for Leona.
The strongest praise centers on the fantasy itself. Players called it a natural couple-style skin pairing for the two champions, and several comments said the trailers do a strong job of selling them as linked allies and rivals. On the other side, some argued Leona’s new look is still overshadowed by Solar Eclipse or High Noon, while Diana’s standard Legendary drew criticism for looking too close to a Cosmic-style palette until the Mythic variant enters the picture.
The loudest complaints, though, are about monetization. The Mythic variant pricing model dominated part of the thread, with multiple posters frustrated that a paired skin release also comes with a much more expensive chase cosmetic. Even some players who liked the visuals said the Sanctum structure makes it harder to feel fully positive about the reveal.
For the wider context around skin news and reveal cycles, RiftDaily’s news hub and skins section are where this release fits into Riot’s broader cosmetic schedule.
How the skins look in motion
The second video works better as a closer look at the animations and presentation once the major details are already established. By this point, the question is less what Eternal Aspects is and more whether the skins feel premium enough in motion to justify the Legendary label and the wider reaction around the release.
The skin spotlight especially reinforces why the release is getting so much immediate traction. This is not a loose thematic overlap. Riot is selling Eternal Aspects as a deliberate sun-and-moon duet, which makes every animation, line read, and color choice part of one larger comparison.

The new skins are called Eternal Aspect Leona and Eternal Aspect Diana, with Diana also receiving a separate Mythic variant.
What theme do the skins use?
The theme is built around sun and moon imagery, with Leona representing the radiant solar side and Diana representing the lunar side of the pairing.
Are Eternal Aspect Leona and Diana Legendary skins?
Yes. The current reveal information points to both base skins being Legendary tier.
How much do the Diana and Leona skins cost?

When do the Eternal Aspects skins release?
The current expected release date is May 27, though that timing should be treated as preview information until the store update is fully confirmed in-client.
Why are players comparing Eternal Aspect Leona to Eclipse Leona?
Because Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse are already some of Leona’s most popular and defining skins, many players see Eternal Aspect as competing directly with an older theme that already matched her core identity extremely well.
Why is Diana’s Mythic variant getting so much attention?
Part of it is visual, since some players think the variant stands out more strongly than the base skin. The other part is the pricing model, which became one of the main points of debate in early reactions.
What to watch before release
The main update is straightforward: Diana and Leona are getting a fully matched Eternal Aspects release, both base skins are expected to land as 1,820 RP Legendaries, and Diana’s Mythic variant is likely to be the most divisive part of the launch. The real question now is whether the finished release can stand apart from the champions’ older moon-and-sun skins once players get them in client.
Between now and launch, the biggest things to watch are the final store rollout, any last-minute pricing clarification, and whether player sentiment shifts once the in-game feel matters more than first trailer impressions. For anyone following the broader skin cycle, the strongest comparison points are still the earlier Eclipse-era Leona looks and Diana’s most popular premium releases.
