Released: 2011-08-16

Rarity: Common

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2011-08-16, 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 Riot K-9 Nasus 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 Riot K-9 Nasus: While this skin doesn't add new effects or animations, it offers a visual redesign that gives Nasus a fresh look on the Rift.

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Riot K-9 Nasus 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.
