What Makes This Skin Special

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

Here's what you get with PROJECT 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

If one look isn't enough for you, PROJECT Akali comes with 9 different chroma options. That means once you own the base skin, you can pick up these color variants to match your mood or your team comp. Some players collect them all, while others just grab their favorite color.

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 PROJECT Akali?

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

When you hear PROJECT Akali in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Krizia Bajos, who brings real personality to the lines.

That splash art that caught your eye? It came from the tablet of Atey Ghailan, one of Riot's talented artists who really captured the essence of PROJECT Akali.

The Story Behind PROJECT Akali

A cutting-edge PROJECT subject who somehow escaped the City's boundaries, Akali brings dire warnings of an untested superweapon to those living in the wasteland beyond. With time running out and no other options, these outcasts join her in an attempt to take the mega-corporation down… suspicious that their newfound ally might in fact be a double agent.

Color Options: PROJECT Akali Chromas

Can't decide on just one look? We don't blame you! PROJECT Akali comes with 9 different chroma options that let you customize your favorite skin. Whether you want to match your team's color scheme or just feel like switching things up, these variants have got you covered without changing any of the awesome features of the base skin.
