Shadow Prince Malzahar wraps the Prophet of the Void in white ceremonial robes with black and gold edging, a deep golden scarf, a pulled-up hood, and a sharp, narrow-eyed mask that swaps his cultist look for a royal desert prince vibe. In-game the palette reads clean and bright against Summoner’s Rift, with gold trims catching the eye while the mask gives him a colder, more distant silhouette than base Malzahar’s exposed face.
His abilities keep the familiar Void-purple identity, but after the V10.18 update they look crisper, which suits the sharper, high-contrast outfit. This skin is a classic Legacy release, not tied to a seasonal event, and the “prince" angle is a clear nod to old-school adventure fantasy like Prince of Persia rather than Runeterran lore. There are no bespoke spell motifs or new props, so the overall feel is a stylish recolor and model swap that keeps gameplay identical to base while changing his on-field presence.
Release date: January 6, 2010. It received a texture update in patch V4.21 and a broad readability-focused VFX update in patch V10.18 that cleaned up spell visuals in line with modern standards.
Shadow Prince Malzahar is not part of a formal skinline; it stands alone as a regal, desert-prince theme distinct from Malzahar’s darker cult aesthetics.
This skin is Semi-rare because it’s a Legacy item that rotates in and out of availability and can now be only found via loot rather than the shop, and collectors sometimes pay a premium on accounts that already own it, which you can explore via Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes, as a Legacy skin it can drop from Hextech Crafting, Mystery Gifts, and event orbs, and you can also unlock it by rerolling skin shards; if you want an account that already has it, check League of Legends Accounts.
