Primal Ambush Vi reimagines Vi as a feral war-leader with white hair, a small golden crown, and black animal ears, wearing rugged black and red leathers trimmed with fur and swinging huge golden claw gauntlets with glowing orbs inside. Compared to base Vi’s neon-punk style and steel hextech fists, this skin looks earthy and savage, with warm browns, deep reds, matte leather textures, and hammered gold that sell the untamed theme. The abilities swap to orange-brown claw trails and dust bursts with faint light-green highlights, giving her punches a primal, rune-tinged weight while staying readable in fights. The recall leans into the hunter fantasy as she tears open a stone sarcophagus, showering the area with grit. It launches with the Primal Ambush line rather than a seasonal event and includes new VFX/SFX across the kit, with unique claw-mark motifs, orb pulses inside the gauntlets, and chunky impact cracks on heavy hits.
Chromas: Amethyst, Obsidian, Pearl, Peridot, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, and Turquoise, which recolor the furs, metals, and orb glow to match each gem tone.
Release date: January 24, 2024; earlier in Patch V8.19 Vi received broad VFX adjustments to her kit that informed later visuals, while this skin ships with its own new SFX/VFX set.
Primal Ambush is a feral fantasy where champions become magical hunters of ancient wilds, sharing earthy colors, claw-mark motifs, and rugged materials across outfits and weapons. They belong to the Favorclaws, tiger-like warriors born with glowing Wildstripes that mark them as destined leaders of their kind.
Other champions in the Primal Ambush skin line include:
It’s not rare because it’s a current shop skin at 1350 RP, though accounts that bundle it with lots of chromas or multiple Primal Ambush skins may be more attractive to collectors; if you want it pre-unlocked, you can browse Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes, as a non-legacy skin it can drop as a shard from Hextech or Masterwork Chests, be rerolled from three shards, or be gifted by friends, and you can also find accounts with it already unlocked on Buy LoL Accounts.
If you prefer a psychic/military vibe, PsyOps Vi offers sleek tech visuals and strong clarity, while Arcane Vi leans into her story look from the show for fans of lower-key effects; you can compare them all here: All Vi Skins.
Legacy skins are still obtainable thanks to our high end account store which features League of Legends accounts with the rarest skins at the best prices.
