Since its release on 2020-03-26, this Legendary tier skin has become a popular pick among players who want to make their Lux stand out from the crowd.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Dark Cosmic Lux worth your RP. At 1820 RP, you're getting a premium experience, likely with completely overhauled visuals, animations, and potentially voice work.

Here's what you get with Dark Cosmic Lux: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Lux move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base ✓ A completely new voice that transforms the champion's personality

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Dark Cosmic Lux keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Who made Dark Cosmic Lux?

Ever wonder who's responsible for making these skins? We'll break it down for you:

When you hear Dark Cosmic Lux in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Carrie Keranen, who brings real personality to the lines.

That splash art that caught your eye? It came from the tablet of Bo 'chenbowow' Chen, one of Riot's talented artists who really captured the essence of Dark Cosmic Lux.

The Story Behind Dark Cosmic Lux

Once the right hand of Queen Ashe, Lux embraced the darkness in her heart, answering the mad call of the Dark Star. Finally seeing the truth, she rejects the Cosmic Court, instead serving her own dark ambition to quiet the banal noise of creation. For she now knows her true fate—to reign as Queen of a Dark Court, and rightful master of the Dark Star.
