Blue Essence calculator
How much essence you need, what you are short by, and roughly how many wins that is. Riot removed per-game BE years ago, so these figures come from level-up capsules and shard disenchanting averaged over a long sample.
TOTAL COST
6,300 BE
1 champion at 6,300 BE each.
YOU STILL NEED
6,300 BE
Roughly 70 wins at about 90 BE a win, or around 33 hours of play.
Common questions
How much Blue Essence does a game give?
There is no direct per-game Blue Essence any more. You earn champion shards from level-up capsules and disenchant them, which averages out to roughly 90 BE per win and about half that for a loss across a long sample.
What is the fastest way to earn Blue Essence?
Levelling up, then disenchanting every champion shard you do not intend to play. Hoarding shards for champions you will never pick is the single most common way players stay poor.
How much BE do you need for ranked?
You need 20 champions owned, not a specific amount of essence. Buying twenty 450 BE champions costs 9,000 — far cheaper than twenty at full price.
Averages, not guarantees. Real earnings swing with game length, first-win-of-the-day, event passes and how ruthlessly you disenchant shards. Treat the game count as a ballpark rather than a target.
