What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Golden Alistar worth your RP. At 390 RP, you're getting a budget-friendly option that still gives Alistar a fresh look, so you can stand out.

Here's what you get with Golden Alistar: While this skin doesn't add new effects or animations, it offers a visual redesign that gives Alistar a fresh look on the Rift.
