About this converter
Blue Essence buys champions in the League client store. Prices now sit in five main tiers after Riot halved costs: 225, 675, 1575, 2400 and 3150. The cheapest tier holds Annie, Ashe and Malphite. The top tier holds recent releases like Ambessa and Mel. Middle tiers hold Ezreal at 675, Ahri at 1575 and Aatrox at 2400. Old guides list 450, 1350, 3150, 4800 and 6300, which are double current values. This page uses current store values from the League Wiki champion list. That makes one Mel equal fourteen Annies.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first champion, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total Blue Essence. Try Annie against Mel, then switch the unit to thousands of BE for large totals.
New releases start high and drop after two seasons, so check the client store if a price looks off. Kayle costs 2400 BE but keeps 260 RP, so RP and BE do not move together. Jhin and Vel'Koz use special prices and stay out of this list. Blue Essence has no official dollar rate, so this page compares essence to essence.
FAQ
How much does Annie cost now?
225 BE in the champion list table. Old guides list 450 BE before the price cut.
Why do old guides say 6300 BE for new champions?
Riot halved all BE prices. 6300 became 3150. Mel and Ambessa now show 3150 in the wiki table.
Which tier holds most champions?
2400 BE. Aatrox, Aphelios and many others sit there. Riot calls this the majority tier.
Do RP prices match BE tiers?
Not always. Kayle costs 2400 BE but keeps 260 RP. Twisted Fate, Ryze and Singed have similar split prices.
