Free? Yes, but not without some work.

Marvel Rivals’ Spring Festival event celebrates Chinese New Year in fun ways, including a free skin for one of the game’s most fun Duelist heroes.

In Chinese culture, the Dancing Lion is a staple of Chinese New Year celebrations. The large, boisterous puppets can be seen dancing through the streets while being puppeted by two or more dancers beneath them, and that’s where the inspiration for Marvel Rivals’ new skins comes from.

Star-Lord is getting a free skin that can be unlocked in the event, and skins for Iron Fist and Black Widow are also confirmed for the festivities, along with a soccer-like limited-time mode, a customizable gallery card, and more.

Here’s what you need to know about how to get the free Star-Lord skin in Marvel Rivals’ Spring Festival event.

You can earn the Spring Festival Star-Lord skin in Marvel Rivals for free simply by playing during the Spring Festival event, which began on Jan. 23 at 3am CT and ends on Feb. 14

Spring Festival works similarly to Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival event from December, which required playing in the limited-time mode to unlock rewards and customize a gallery card. During this time, additional Missions are available to earn event currency—which is used to unlock rewards.

The missions that provide the most currency are directly tied to the limited-time game mode but you don’t have to play the mode if you don’t want to, as Weekly Missions will also provide currency to use. However, that approach will take longer to unlock all rewards.

Each reward during the Spring Festival requires 100 Danqing to unlock and the Star-Lord skin is the final reward in the event, meaning you need around 1000 of the currency—which equates to around 10 days worth of missions.

During the event, additional skins for Chinese New Year are available in the shop for Black Widow and Iron Fist, but these require purchasing. The skins in the store and the free Star-Lord skin are available until the event ends on Feb. 14.

With his new festive skin, Star-Lord is adorned in a costume that pays homage to the Dancing Lions, including a glowing lion mask, a blonde lion mane, golden lion claws on his boots, and even lion hairs on his dual pistols that he uses to scream “LEGENDAAARYYYY” when he ults on your team and proceeds to get zero kills.
