Arctic Ops Kennen outfits the lightning yordle in cold-weather commando gear instead of his usual masked ninja look, trading purple cloth and shuriken for a white tactical hoodie with fur trim, navy trousers, and a light blue scarf with one eye exposed and a small dagger for a covert feel compared to base Kennen.
In game, VFX remains mostly unchanged.. It's one of the oldest skins in League of Legends, it was released in season 2. Back then most skins were simple model changes. The only slight change is the fact he throws a tactical knife instead of his usual shuriken on his Q.

Arctic Ops is a cold-front military-themed set in the PsyOps universe. High Command created this unit to fight on the frozen northern front. Soldiers wear arctic combat gear, tech rigs, and hardened armor. The look is icy, tactical, and modern.
This universe officially bundles two related thematics: Arctic Ops (tundra soldiers, cold-front operatives) and PsyOps (a later psychic special forces unit). There is also a related faction called the Black Rose Group, which ties into the PsyOps story.
Lore (short): High Command needed troops built for the Arctic. They chose operatives who could handle subzero conditions and high-risk missions. Teams include elite snipers, hardened bruisers, and stealthy ninjas sent into deep cold zones. The Arctic Ops event also sets up later PsyOps conflicts decades after a mysterious discovery on the front.
Trivia: In-universe, Arctic Ops predates PsyOps by about 40 years. The set follows a military black-ops vibe similar to Commando and Omega Squad themes. Some skins like Sejuani's Bear Cavalry fit the theme but are not part of the set.
Arctic Ops Kennen is a 975 RP standard skin. That price class is common for full-price, non-legendary skins. It’s not considered rare if it still appears in the store or can be bought with RP. If you want an account with the skin already unlocked, check verified sellers here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes. At 975 RP this skin is eligible for Hextech crafting as a shard and can be gifted via Mystery Gift. Anything above mythic rarity is blocked from Hextech; mythic skins also can’t be sent as Mystery Gifts.

That depends on what you like. Arctic Ops Kennen gives a tactical, modern look, but offers almost no changes in terms of VFX and no new animations.
