What Riot announced

LoL Esports posted the announcement on September 29. True Damage will perform Know My Name, and the official Worlds music video built around it is about Faker.

It's the 13th Worlds anthem, and the first time one of Riot's virtual groups has performed it. Seven years ago True Damage debuted at Worlds 2019 with GIANTS. This time the group gets the anthem itself.

Worlds is back in the United States this year. The Play-In Stage starts on October 15 in Los Angeles and the Finals are on November 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where True Damage plays the Opening Ceremony. Our Worlds 2026 FAQ has the rest of the schedule and how to watch.

Who's on the track

The band hasn't changed. Akali and Ekko rap, Qiyana sings and raps, Senna sings, and Yasuo is the DJ and producer.

Riot credits four artists for Know My Name. SOYEON of i-dle is the one name carried over from GIANTS, where she voiced Akali, and Riot points out she's had a big hand in both K/DA and True Damage. The other three are new to the group: Coco Jones, the GRAMMY-winning R&B singer and actress, Vic Mensa, the GRAMMY-nominated Chicago musician, and Sofía Reyes, the Mexican Latin pop singer-songwriter.

Riot's announcement doesn't say which of them sings for which champion. The 2019 credits went Akali to SOYEON, Senna to Keke Palmer, Qiyana to Becky G and Ekko to Thutmose and DUCKWRTH, with Yasuo producing and no outside artist on him. None of those four are back this time.

The video is about Faker

Riot describes the video as the story of Faker's run to T1's third straight world title, and it leans on the losses as much as the trophies. If you want the long version of why he gets a whole anthem, we wrote it up in Faker: The Unkillable Demon King, Explained.

What about new skins?

Riot's announcement doesn't mention skins. The PBE has nothing new for the group either: the September 30 PBE build carries the same ten True Damage entries as the live game, with no new skin for Akali, Ekko, Qiyana, Senna or Yasuo. Our PBE tracker picks up every build as it lands.

Every True Damage skin in League of Legends

The original five came out on November 10, 2019, in Patch 9.22, alongside Prestige True Damage Qiyana. Prestige editions for Senna and Yasuo followed in 2020, and Ekko got a Mythic variant in 2023. Ekko's base skin is the line's only Legendary, the other four are Epic, and all the Prestige and Breakout versions are Mythic. Chromas aren't counted here, but the 2022 commemorative edition of Prestige Qiyana is, since it's a separate skin: Prestige True Damage Qiyana (2022).

True Damage Akali

Epic | November 10, 2019

Akali started the group. Riot's skin story has her recruiting the crew herself after K/DA took off.

True Damage Ekko

Legendary | November 10, 2019

The set's one Legendary. A patch later Riot extended the shaved part of his hair to cover more of his forehead, after feedback on the original.

Breakout True Damage Ekko

Mythic | November 8, 2023

A Mythic variant of the Legendary, and it shipped in the same patch as the first HEARTSTEEL skins.

True Damage Qiyana

Epic | November 10, 2019

Only her second skin. Riot wrote her as the daughter of Latin music royalty who wants more than an easy path to stardom.

Prestige True Damage Qiyana

Mythic | November 10, 2019

The Prestige Edition that launched with the set. In 2022 Riot gave everyone who already owned it a commemorative 2022 edition as well, and that one never goes into any shop.

True Damage Senna

Epic | November 10, 2019

Senna's first skin. She came out the same day, November 10, so she launched in it. She's the lead singer.

Prestige True Damage Senna

Mythic | February 6, 2020

Arrived in Patch 10.3, the same day as the Heartseeker skins.

True Damage Yasuo

Epic | November 10, 2019

The producer everyone in the group goes to, in Riot's story. He's still the one member with no outside artist attached.

Prestige True Damage Yasuo

Mythic | September 25, 2020

The last of the Prestige editions so far, out in Patch 10.19 alongside the PsyOps skins.

Where it started: GIANTS

GIANTS was True Damage's debut single, and the video went up on the League of Legends channel on November 10, 2019. Our GIANTS page has the song's details and where to listen.
