Marvel Rivals is celebrating the Lunar New Year with its Spring Festival event, bringing exciting rewards to the game including a free Star-Lord skin. The Spring Festival kicks off on January 23rd, 2025, at 1 AM PST and runs through February 14th, 2025. This three-week celebration marks the game’s second major event since its December launch. Here’s everything you need to know about getting the free Star-Lord Lion’s Mane skin in Marvel Rivals and making the most of the festival!

How to Get the Free Lion’s Mane Star-Lord Skin in Spring Festival Event
As you can see in the picture below, the Lion’s Mane Star-Lord costume gives the character a bold new look with a gold lion mask featuring glowing blue eyes and flowing golden blonde hair. He also wears a Chinese-style dark vest with gold clasps and white fur trim, paired with white pants and gold-accented boots styled like lion claws. A red sash in the middle ties the outfit together, and his dual pistols now feature white fur designs, fitting the Lunar New Year theme perfectly.

To unlock the free Lion’s Mane skin for Star-Lord:
- take part in the event’s featured game mode
- complete specific challenges
- progress through a tier-based reward system by collecting Danqing currency to earn cosmetics along the way
Lion’s Mane costume is positioned at Tier 9 of the reward. So you need to do all the missions daily to reach a certain amount of Danqing that will let you get the skin for free. Looking at the trailer that was released a day ago, here’s what you should focus on:
Play Clash of Dancing Lions
The new 3v3 game mode adds a fun twist to sports games. Teams earn points by getting the ball into scoring zones on opposite sides of the field. Use your hero’s abilities to:
- Steal the ball from opponents
- Move it quickly across the field
- Score in the target zones
Complete Event Challenges
Just like Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, the game will offer daily missions throughout the event period too. So make sure to:
- Check the event tab regularly for new objectives
- Track your progress through the challenges
- Complete all required tasks before the event ends
