Ivern will not attack non-epic monsters. Clicking on a jungle monster creates a grove which grows over X [40 - 6 based on lvl] seconds. Each grove costs X health and X mana.

When a grove is fully grown, clicking on the monsters will set them free, giving gold and experience. Smiting a grove instantly frees monsters.

At level 5 and higher, if Ivern frees a buff monster an extra buff is created for Ivern's allies. If an ally kills a buff monster, a buff is left for Ivern.

Nurse Flan

"~Episode 4 - Whispers of Eternity~

"Life as a Star Guardian is all I've ever known."

See you on the Rift!"

(As usual, we'll have a detailed SG Jinx special interactions video in a few days!)

Riot KateyKhaos

New model and textures for her and her weapons - meet Shiro and Kuro!

Entirely new VO lines - dictates her own life and future, making sure no one gets in her way!

[ "when SG Lulu whimsy's another Star Guardian they'll go into their new flying homeguard animation" - Riot Ve1vet

Riot LoveStrut

"~Episode 3 - Empathy~

"The light says hi, and that you're safe with us."

The youngest of the Star Guardians, Lulu feels connected more to the First Star's light than the other Star Guardians. She views it as a constant companion and concerns herself more with the magical world within her, which causes the other Guardians to view her as eccentric or flighty.

Episode Summary

All-new model and textures! (Pix takes on a new form too!)

All-new VFX! (A new look for fae sorcery!)

All-new SFX! (Magical and adorable!)

Star Guardian Poppy

1350 RP

Riot LoveStrut

"~Episode 5 - Lost in Translation~

"I'm a soldier, not a savior. Now get out of my way—I have a job to do."

The fiercest Star Guardian, Poppy does not see the world in grey, fighting and destroying anything that threatens the First Star's light. She views the responsibility of a Star Guardian as a sacred purpose, and despises anyone who dishonors Starlight's gifts. As she continues to fight, Poppy finds that not all battles can be won with strength.

Episode Summary

All-new model and textures! (Charge in with style!)

All-new VFX! (Smash 'em with hammer magic!)

All-new SFX! (Powerful and magical!)

All-new animations! (Nothing fiercer than stars and sparkles!)
