To buy a champion with Blue Essence, head to the League of Legends store, click on the champion you wish to buy, and select Blue Essence if you have enough.

If you do not have enough Blue Essence, purchasing a champion via Riot Points is a quicker but more expensive option. This is the second in-game currency in League of Legends. The only difference is that you must spend money to acquire some. This can be a quick way of acquiring your desired champion, but we recommend going with other routes in this article.
To purchase a champion via Riot Points, follow the same method as you would for Blue Essence, but click the left box instead for Riot Points.
The best value for real-life money is the Xbox Game Pass. In 2022, Riot Games partnered with gaming console giant Xbox to provide exclusive rewards for game pass holders. For League of Legends specifically, players could earn XP boosts, but more importantly, every League of Legends champion would be unlocked for free while you are an active member.
If you wish to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, it will cost you £7.99 monthly for the Standard Pass or £12.99 for the Ultimate Pass. If you have the money to spend on individual champions, then you may as well save and go with the Xbox Game Pass; you will have every champion unlocked for free, and new champions that are released will automatically be available to you.
Yes, even League of Legends has its own battle pass. Events in League of Legends offers players another way to earn skins, champions, wards, and more. This tiered system rewards active players who play the game regularly to progress through the levels. You can also purchase the tiers using Riot Points, but other methods, such as the Xbox Game Pass, are more valuable for money. As you progress through the pass, players will earn event tokens; these tools can then be used in the event store to purchase orbs, skins, and champion shards.

The final method on this list is Hextech Crafting. This is Riots loot box system that rewards players with Skins, Blue Essence, Orange Essence, and Champion Shards. Using a champion shard will unlock you a random champion for free. You can learn about Hextech Crafting in our How to get skins for free guide.
As mentioned, Hextech Crafting also rewards players with Blue Essence so that you can acquire a new LoL champion in many ways. Additionally, you can purchase Hextech Chests via the store if you again want a quicker route to acquiring League of Legends champions.
