Everything You Need to Know About Imperial Lux

The Basics

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

Quick Facts

Price: 975 RP

Released: 2011-11-29

Rarity: Common

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2011-11-29, this Common 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 Imperial Lux worth your RP. At 975 RP, you're getting a relatively cheap skin with decent quality visuals, sometimes even some new animations or effects.

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

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Imperial 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 Imperial Lux?

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

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

Riot hasn't revealed who created the splash art for Imperial Lux, but we can appreciate the effort that went into it regardless. This could mean the splash art of Imperial Lux was created by Riot's internal team, or perhaps still a freelance artist that hasn't been revealed yet.

The Story Behind Imperial Lux

We've dug through all of Riot's lore posts and cosmic archives, but sadly there's no official backstory for Imperial Lux... yet! Don't let that stop you from enjoying this skin though! It first arrived on 2011-11-29 and costs 975 RP. You can always make up your own headcanon about how Lux came to have this look. That's half the fun of League's multiverse of skin lines!

Is Imperial Lux Worth It?

So, should you pick up Imperial Lux for your collection? Let's break it down:

Reasons to Buy:

  • Common tier quality visuals
