All skins in this series received a lot of criticism due to "low quality claims" and were updated later on. The skin is an equivalent of a 975 RP skin.
Masque of the Black Rose Vladimir refines the Hemomancer for a high-society masquerade, shifting his usual deep crimson palette to black, wine-purple, and rose-pink lined with gold. The white half-mask instantly sells the ballroom theme, while his robes and mantle add polished trims and tailored folds that feel cleaner and more ceremonial than base Vladimir’s rugged nobility.
In game: pink and purple effects replace raw red blood, edges look glassy and cut, and rosethorn accents weave through casts. Q bursts in crisp rose-pink, W forms a glowing pool stamped with the Black Rose emblem, E charges as a thorn-laced wave, and R looks like a wine red whirpool.
There are no listed animation changes, so he moves and recalls like base, which keeps the focus on the new colors and motifs. The voiceover remains the same too, with SFX that largely mirror base but visually align to the refined masquerade aesthetic.
The theme ties directly to Noxus’s Black Rose cabal and Elise’s courtly influence, framing Vladimir as an honored guest at a clandestine ball. The half-mask nods to classic masquerade and stage inspirations like aristocratic operas and phantom-style costuming, while the Black Rose symbol in W is a distinctive, on-theme flourish.
Release date: January 9, 2025, as part of the Masque of the Black Rose battle pass event.
In June 2025 the skins received updates with improved models and custom VFX.
Patch V6.9: Vladimir’s gameplay update delivered new ability icons (applies across all his skins), and this skin uses those icon updates.
Masque of the Black Rose is a Noxian masquerade-themed mini-line set at the Silken Danse, where high society fashion hides political schemes. The look is black formalwear with gold trim, masked faces, and thorned rose motifs, with VFX bound to the Black Rose emblem. Vladimir headlines the launch with a half-mask and rose-thorn effects.
The story unfolds during Welcome to Noxus and the Silken Danse, hosted by Lady Elise, with invitations sent to Ezreal, Katarina, Renata Glasc, Samira, and Vladimir. Patch V25.11 updated several entries to match the new Pass standard, and League Partners received themed invitations and masks on January 5, 2025.
Trivia: The Black Rose traces back to LeBlanc and Vladimir’s cabal and gets extra attention in Arcane Season 2, further tying the skins’ symbols and secrecy to current Noxian lore.
It’s common skin because it was wildly available even though it was theoretically locked behind the 2025 S1 Act 1 Premium Battle Pass (Level 10) and isn’t sold in the regular shop. There’s no direct RP price; if it returns, expect special event reruns—not standard rotations—so collectors often look for accounts that already have it unlocked here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
After the event ends, you can’t buy it outright, but it can appear as a random shard in Hextech/Masterwork loot or a Mystery Gift if it’s in the loot pool; rerolling three skin shards can also grant it, though nothing is guaranteed. If you’d rather skip the grind, you can pick up an account with it already unlocked here: Buy LoL Accounts.
It’s a great pick if you want sharp readability and Black Rose flavor with formal, thorned-rose VFX. Many players also like Blood Moon Vladimir and Nightbringer Vladimir for darker, bolder effects—compare them all here: All Vladimir Skins, or browse curated accounts here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
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.
