Quick Facts

Price: 520 RP

Released: 2010-05-11

Rarity: Common

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2010-05-11, 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 Infernal Akali worth your RP. At 520 RP, you're getting a budget-friendly option that still gives Akali a fresh look, so you can stand out.

Here's what you get with Infernal Akali: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Akali 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, Infernal Akali 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.
