All-Star 2026 — Real Gold In The Prize Pool, A New Map, And Lord Becomes Lady Lord

TL;DR

• All-Star 2026 runs Apr 30 – Jun 30 — two months, the biggest event-mode swing of the year.
• Actual gold jewelry in the prize pool. Not gold buff, real metal — ~2,000 pieces awarded, $110–$500 each.
• New map: Dreadsea. Underwater theme, glowing jellyfish, swirling-vortex fountain. Lord redesigned as Lady Lord.
• Tide Clash custom lobbies let teams wager diamonds, treasure-hunt coins, or skin fragments per match — winners take losers' fees.
• Three event skins: Ling Phantom Current, Yu Zhong Tight Scale Sea Lord, Pharsa Sea-Warm Oracle. One will be free.
• No promo diamond rerun expected — Ling's full draw is ~2,389 💎. Only a ~30% week-1 discount is on the table.

The map: Dreadsea

All-Star 2026 ships a brand-new map called Dreadsea. Step in and the theme lands fast — a dark, gloomy underwater palette, glowing jellyfish drifting around the base, blue lighting throughout, and a fountain rebuilt as a swirling vortex.

A few details that stand out:

• The spawn area carries a large octopus mark.
• Turret tops spin — a dynamic detail previously reserved for Yi Sun-shin's signature turret animation.
• Mid lane has the All-Star 2026 logo engraved in the centre.
• The Lethal Wanderer creep is reskinned as a glowing jellyfish, and killing it leaves behind a small jellyfish that follows you for a short window.

Lady Lord and the underwater redesign

Lord doesn't just get a recolour — Moonton rebuilt the model as Lady Lord, an ocean-guardian design with a towering trident-like prison behind it. Fight her, charge her, kill her, every animation has been reworked, and during a turret push she summons a wave to clear minions.

Turtle, by contrast, is unchanged. Kazuki flags this as a let-down — the obvious second objective skin, skipped entirely.

"The Lord, or in this case the Lordess, looks majestic here with this ocean-inspired design." — Kazuki

Tide Clash — wager-based custom lobbies

This is the headline mode. Tide Clash is a 5v5 custom lobby where the host sets a wager currency — diamonds, treasure-hunt coins, or skin fragments — and every player pays a participation fee. The winning team takes the losers' fees.

How to find a game:

• Pre-made teams of 5 — invite friends, set the wager, queue.
• Solo queue — via the Event Hall, browse open-slot challenges and join the lobby that matches your wager appetite. Country and friend filters are available.

For confident squads it's effectively a diamond printer. For everyone else it's a way to gamble All-Star coins on All-Star games.

Tidal Treasure Hunt — yes, real gold

The headline reward, and it's not a metaphor. The Tidal Treasure Hunt is a draw using treasure-hunt coins, with a prize pool that includes:

• In-game diamonds
• The Yu Zhong All-Star skin (Tight Scale Sea Lord)
• Actual gold jewelry — bracelets and commemorative coins, valued $110–$500 USD per piece

Advanced prize pool totals: 55 million in-game diamonds and ~2,000 gold jewelry rewards.

"Yes, real gold jewelry — not gold buff, not gold blade. Actual gold." — Elgin

Battlefield drops & pre-match betting

You earn treasure-hunt coins inside ranked and casual matches. Two streams:

Team rewards trigger on turtle kill, lord kill, tower destroy, map coin pickups, and every +2,500 team gold.

Individual rewards trigger on enemy kill, assist, and in-match highlight notifications.

On top of that there's pre-match betting — stake your coins before queueing. Win to double, lose to recover only a small portion. It adds genuine ranked-game pressure if you opt in; you can ignore it entirely and still farm coins through normal play.

Skins

Three All-Star event skins confirmed, all underwater-themed:

• Ling — Phantom Current
• Yu Zhong — Tight Scale Sea Lord (also part of the Tidal Treasure Hunt prize pool)
• Pharsa — Sea-Warm Oracle

One of the three will be free. Pixie hasn't specified which yet.

"There's no mention of a promo diamond rerun. There's a high chance this all-star event won't include promo diamonds like usual." — Pixie

The free skin pick

Separate from the three All-Star skins, every player gets to pick one free skin at launch from this set:

• Rafaela — All-Star 2023
• Zilong — 515
• Harith — 515
• Gatotkaca — Elite

Roger gets a separate free special-tier skin at some point during the event. Watch the event hub — Pixie says the schedule isn't fully detailed yet.
