Arcane Vander Warwick dresses Warwick in Vander's Arcane design, trading much of the base champion's fur for round, organic mechanical plates and exposed porous tissue, and using a sickly purple main color with gold accents to match the show's palette. The model keeps a snout and tail so Warwick still looks like himself while taking on the show's biomechanical vibe.
Abilities use new cyan and purple VFX with gold highlights that sell the corrupt anomaly theme compared to Warwick's base blood-and-shadow effects. His Q shows bite marks similar to anomaly design in the show and E has the spider anomaly like structure. The skin includes a custom recall where Warwick grasps a doll resembling Powder (Jinx) and roars, which is a direct reference to Arcane and the character relationships from the show.
The skin ties directly to the Arcane skinline and follows the show's visual language and audio direction; like other Arcane skins it prioritizes show-accurate styling and thematic audio over gameplay changes. There are no known gameplay or toggle mechanics included — the changes are visual and audio only.
Release date: November 12, 2024.
Availability notes: The main skin was purchasable for 1350 RP in the shop now it's a legacy skin. While the Paragon variant was obtainable through the Sanctum event; no broader loot-exclusive paths were listed. No re-releases up until October 2025 and is currently unavailable in the shop, but it's supposed to return again in 2025 on Nov 19.
Arcane is a set of skins based on the Arcane TV show. The skins show how champions looked during events in Piltover and Zaun. They lean into hextech style, broken industry, and the blurred line between invention and violence. Many skins show characters after big events in the story — grief, revenge, or survival.
Lore summary: In Piltover and Zaun, progress and danger live side by side. Hextech and the arcane shift power and split loyalties. Heroes rise and fall. The Arcane skins capture those moments — a leader trying to hold a city together, a thief changed by loss, and a monster born of science.
Trivia: The Arcane line launched alongside the RiotX Arcane events and included a mix of standard, legendary, and prestige releases. Some skins were released with chromas or event unlocks. Vander / Warwick’s Arcane appearance ties directly to Singed’s experiments in the show.
Arcane Vander Warwick is listed at 1350 RP, which classifies it as an Epic skin, but it's also tied to a limited-time event and is now classified as legacy skin. That's why we currently rate it as a semi-rare skin. If you want accounts with this skin already unlocked, check: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes. Because Arcane Vander Warwick is an Epic (1350 RP) and not a mythic or limted item, it can appear as a Hextech shard or be given via Mystery Gift. If you’d rather skip drops, you can find verified accounts for sale here: Buy LoL Accounts.
“Best” depends on what you want. Arcane Vander Warwick is a strong choice for fans of the show and for a lore-driven look. Classics among collectors are Grey Warwick now only obtainable by reaching Honor 5 and Urf the Manatee a rare collectible that is now only available in the Blue Essence Emporium.
