Everything You Need to Know About iG Irelia

The Basics

Looking to spice up your games with a killer new look for Irelia? Let's dive into everything you need to know about iG Irelia, a unique skin for Irelia. This skin is all about giving your favorite champion a fresh new look!

Quick Facts

Price: 1350 RP

Released: 2019-04-23

Rarity: Epic

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2019-04-23, this Epic tier skin has become a legacy skin. This means it's no longer available for purchase in the store, but you might be able to get it from chests, rerolling skins, or during specific periods in the year when Riot brings it back.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes iG Irelia worth your RP. At 1350 RP, you're getting a feature-rich skin with plenty of new visuals that really change how Irelia looks in-game.

Here's what you get with iG Irelia: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Irelia move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, iG Irelia 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.
