If you are looking at the Hall of Legends 2026 store and trying to understand what you actually get before spending RP, the most useful first step is separating the event pass from the three Tristana collection tiers. Riot inducted Rasmus “Caps” Winther as the third Hall of Legends member and the first Western pro to receive the honor, with his in-game event running from September 10 through October 20, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. The event has a 100-level pass priced at 1950 RP, while Tristana is sold through escalating Risen Legend, Immortalized Legend and Signature Immortalized Legend collections priced at 5035, 32035 and 58865 RP. Those jumps are not simply three colors of the same skin. This guide explains what each layer contains, what the pass already gives you, and which type of player each tier is designed to serve without pretending there is one universal “best value” answer.
When Hall of Legends 2026 starts and ends
Riot lists the Caps Hall of Legends event from September 10, 2026 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time through October 20 at 11:59 PM PT. In time zones farther east, the local clock may already read October 21 when the event closes, so the safest reference near the deadline is the timer shown in your League client or Riot’s localized Hall of Legends page. Patch 26.18 launched the in-game Caps content on September 10. Because this is a limited event window, do not assume the pass or every collection will remain available in the same store format after the event ends; Riot presents them as part of the 2026 Hall of Legends celebration.
Why Caps is the 2026 inductee
Caps is the third player inducted into the Hall of Legends and the first Western League pro to receive the distinction. Riot describes him as the most decorated player in European League of Legends history and frames his career around sustained regional success, international relevance and influence on what Western teams believed they could achieve globally. The Hall of Legends selection is not a simple popularity vote. Patch 26.18 says an independent voting panel of esports industry veterans and experts from every region considers factors including international berths, international and regional titles, role-specific statistics and overall contributions to the sport. That context matters because the event content is built around Caps’ career rather than functioning as a generic seasonal skin line.
The 1950 RP pass: what you actually get
The Hall of Legends Pass has 100 total reward levels. Riot lists Risen Legend Orianna Skin & Border and the Risen Legend Orianna Event Chroma among the major rewards, plus Freljord Taliyah, Elderwood LeBlanc and Empyrean Akali. The track also contains 125 Mythic Essence, 11 Orbs, 15 Caps-themed Icons & Emotes, the Unkillable Demon Cactus Ward, Beacon of Hope Banner and the “Martin 1” title, with additional rewards across the path. The important distinction is that a player who primarily wants Orianna and the event progression does not automatically need a Tristana collection. The pass is its own 1950 RP product; the Tristana bundles add a separate premium layer.
Risen Legend Collection — 5035 RP
This is the first Tristana collection tier. Riot lists Risen Legend Tristana, a Takedown Counter Taunt, Risen Border, exclusive Risen Icon & Emote, and the Hall of Legends Pass. From a decision standpoint, this tier is aimed at players who want the Tristana Hall of Legends skin and the event pass but do not care about the transformation systems, finishers and account-level presentation of the higher tier. It is also important not to compare 5035 RP with 1950 RP as though they buy the same thing: the Risen Collection bundles the pass with Tristana-specific content.
Immortalized Legend Collection — 32035 RP
This is where the package changes dramatically. Immortalized Legend Tristana upgrades Risen Legend Tristana and adds three Mechanical Genius forms with unique voiceover, a Rocket Jump Empowered Form, Rapid Fire HUD, Structure Finisher VFX and Champion Finisher VFX. Riot also lists a Custom Visual Announcer, Holographic Immortalized Splash Art, Dynamic Profile Background, Immortalized Border, exclusive Immortalized Icon, Champie Icon & Emote, plus everything in the Risen Collection. This tier is no longer just “skin plus event.” It is an expanded presentation layer around Tristana and your account, which explains why the price jump is far larger than the first step.
Signature Immortalized Legend Collection — 58865 RP
The highest tier adds Signature content on top of the full Immortalized package. It includes Caps’ Signature Move on Ctrl+5 for Tristana and Orianna, Caps’ Signature Structure Finisher VFX for Tristana, Signature Splash Art and Signature Immortalized Borders for both champions, and the Risen Legend Orianna Paragon Chroma. It also adds Paragon chromas for Freljord Taliyah, Elderwood LeBlanc and Empyrean Akali, a Hall of Legends 2026 Signature Banner, exclusive Signature Icon & Animated Emote, and the “Claps” title. Crucially, Riot lists 100 Pass Levels in this package, in addition to everything from the Immortalized Collection. That makes it as much a collector/instant-completion bundle as a skin upgrade.
Do 100 Pass Levels mean you can skip event grinding?
The official Signature list explicitly includes “100 Pass Levels.” By contrast, the Risen Collection lists the Hall of Legends Pass but not 100 pass levels, and the Immortalized tier includes everything in Risen. That wording means you should not assume Risen or Immortalized automatically completes the track. If you expect to play League frequently before October 20, instant completion may be less useful to you than it is to someone with limited time. That is a Zaplat Gaming usage analysis, not a Riot promise about how many matches or hours natural progression requires. Riot’s official pages define the included levels, not an individualized time-to-complete estimate.
Which tier fits which kind of player?
For players who want the event rewards, Orianna, Mythic Essence and Orbs, the 1950 RP pass is the cleanest starting point. If you play Tristana and want her Hall of Legends skin plus the pass, 5035 RP Risen is the first relevant bundle to compare. If the reason you care is the advanced transformations, HUD, finishers, announcer and profile presentation, those are Immortalized features, not Risen features. Signature at 58865 RP is functionally for the collector who wants the maximum Caps-specific version, Paragon chromas, Signature cosmetics and all 100 pass levels immediately. There is no universal winner; the tiers sell different categories of content.
What not to mix up when comparing prices
Three comparisons cause the most confusion. First, the pass is not a miniature Tristana bundle; it has its own track and includes Orianna content. Second, Immortalized is not simply a recolor: it adds transformations, HUD, finishers and profile-level presentation. Third, Signature is not just another standalone skin above Immortalized; it adds signature upgrades, chromas, account cosmetics and 100 levels while including the previous tier. The useful question is therefore “which features do I actually want?” rather than “which skin is cheapest?” Also avoid converting RP into one fixed dollar amount: RP purchase prices vary by region, bundle size and local taxes.
Before buying: check the account, region and remaining time
Because the event is time-limited, make sure you are buying on the intended account and region and that you have enough time left if you plan to progress the pass naturally. Check the live Hall of Legends page in your League client at purchase time because Riot can display ownership adjustments or bundle behavior based on items you already own. Do not assume a screenshot from another region reflects your cash cost; Riot’s global pages can establish the listed RP prices and bundle contents, while the local-currency cost of buying RP is separate. If you only care about Tristana and not the broader cosmetics, read the full bundle list before paying because a substantial part of the higher prices comes from bundled extras.
Hall of Legends 2026 purchase checklist
- Remember the official event window ends October 20, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT.
- Decide first whether you want the pass, Tristana, or the full Immortalized presentation.
- Pass only: official listed price is 1950 RP with 100 reward levels.
- Risen Collection: 5035 RP and includes Risen Legend Tristana plus the pass.
- Immortalized Collection: 32035 RP and adds transformations, HUD, finishers and account presentation while including Risen.
- Signature Collection: 58865 RP and adds Signature cosmetics, Paragon chromas and 100 Pass Levels while including Immortalized.
- Do not convert RP into one universal cash price; RP cost differs by region.
- Check what you already own in the client before purchasing a bundle.
- If relying on natural progression, consider how much time remains before the event closes.
- Use Riot’s Hall of Legends page/client as the final source for live price and contents at checkout.
