Northern Storm Volibear outfits the Thunder’s Roar as an arctic commando. Instead of the base form’s bare fur and shamanic trinkets, he wears a padded white snow coat, reinforced gauntlets, a face guard, and glowing blue devices that read as heated or powered gear. The silhouette stays bulky and intimidating like base, but the textures are smooth synthetics and metal plates rather than wild pelts and bone.
In game, his VFX lean colder than base: pale blue‑white electricity, frosty impacts, and snow‑tinged fields that make Q, W, E, and R feel crisp and wintry. The overall sound keeps the rework’s heavy thunder but switches to sharper, icier crackles that match the visuals. The recall and animations follow the 10.11 relaunch set, so movement and attacks feel modern and weighty while keeping the tactical soldier vibe.
The skin sits within the Arctic Ops theme, which nods to real‑world snow‑trooper gear—padded whites, face coverings, and blue status LEDs—rather than mythic warpaint. It doesn’t hide gags or overt references, but the clean military styling and cold color palette set it apart from the base’s storm‑god fantasy and make it play like a disciplined winter assault unit.
Release date: November 29, 2011.
Patch 10.11: Full relaunch with new splash art, model, textures, VFX/SFX, lore, voiceover, and animations as part of Volibear’s rework; remains a Legacy skin that returns during Vault rotations and appears in loot.
PsyOps is an alternate-future military universe where elite psychic soldiers carry out black-ops missions against rogue forces and supernatural threats. Visuals lean into tactical gear, psionic effects, and covert-ops styling with crisp, high-tech motifs.
This universe officially bundles two thematics: General PsyOps (the core psychic black-ops team) and Arctic Ops (frozen-front warfare with cold-weather gear and icy VFX). Lore notes place PsyOps 40 years after Arctic Ops, with High Command fielding new psionic units in response to threats first uncovered on the Arctic front.
Lore and trivia: Arctic Ops predates PsyOps by four decades, and the overall set echoes the feel of Commando and Omega Squad. PsyOps operatives often have numerical designations (like Vi “06” and Ezreal “47”) that reference in-game or lore details.
Northern Storm Volibear is Semi-Rare because it’s a Legacy 750 RP skin that rotates in during limited sales (like Legacy Vault events) and isn’t always in the store. If you want an account that already owns it, you can check curated listings here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes. As a legacy (non-Mythic) skin, it can appear as a shard from Hextech/Masterwork chests, be rerolled, and show up in Mystery Gifts; it may also return during seasonal or Legacy Vault sales. If you’d rather skip loot RNG, browse verified options here: Buy LoL Accounts.
It’s a clean budget pick with a military-winter look, but for flashier options consider Duality Dragon Volibear or the lore-heavy The Thousand-Pierced Bear. Compare everything on the full list here: All Volibear Skins, or pick up an account that already owns your favorite: 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.
