Pentakill III: Lost Chapter Karthus turns the lich into a gothic metal vocalist dressed for the band’s grand finale. Compared to the base’s tattered necromancer look, he wears a tailored dark-and-teal split coat lined with gold filigree and a high collar, and wields a staff rebuilt as a towering organ pipe capped by a bright blue crystal, so he reads more like a stage icon than a wandering lich.
In game, his abilities shift from cold spectral hues to hot reds and oranges: Q erupts with tight ghostly blasts in gray palette, W raises a gray barrier with with two torches illuminated by gray stones, E surrounds him with deathly area with slight of undead, and R channels with black embers and chains before a global hit; the overall feel fits the general theme of Karthus without major color changes.
The biggest perk of this skin are the extra voice lines and new emotes, these effects are uncommon for epic skin so you do get additional value for the same price. For this reason alone we highly recommend picking it up
The skin adds extra quotes and crunchy metal SFX on casts and the recall, which plays like a show-ending flourish, tying directly into the Pentakill concert theme. It sits in the Pentakill III: Lost Chapter skinline inside the broader Pentakill universe, echoing classic heavy metal stage designs—cathedral organs, gilded trims, and pyrotechnics—and includes 8 chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, and Tanzanite.
Release date: September 9, 2021 (1350 RP).
V6.7: Adjusted splash art for Pentakill content.
V4.9: Karthus received a full visual update (new splash, model, lore, VO, and VFX/SFX), which later skins, including Pentakill III, build upon.
Pentakill is an alternate universe where a heavy metal supergroup performs both on stage and on the Rift. The look mixes gothic church vibes with album-era rock theatrics: leather, carved metal trim, organ and instrument motifs, and hot, high-contrast VFX that stay clear in combat.
The universe spans multiple releases: Pentakill: Smite and Ignite (2014), Pentakill II: Grasp of the Undying (2017), and Pentakill III: Lost Chapter (2021), plus the story thread The Dissonant Verses. Band members are Karthus (lead vocals), Kayle (vocals), Mordekaiser (guitar), Olaf (drums), Sona (keys), and Yorick (bass), with Viego tied to the 2021 era.
Lore notes: the band boasts “penta‑platinum” status and over-the-top metal mythos, with nods like Pulsefire Ezreal quoting the group. Trivia: Superfan Gnar exists as a canon gag, and the universe playfully exaggerates album marketing and metal legends.
No—this is a 1350 RP Epic skin that stays in the shop, so it’s Common in availability; if you want it pre-unlocked (often with chromas), browse curated options here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes. Because it’s not Mythic or Limited, it can drop as a shard from Hextech/Masterwork chests, appear in event orbs, and show up in Mystery Gifts; if you’d rather skip loot RNG, you can also buy verified accounts here: Buy LoL Accounts.
It’s a top pick if you want modern metal visuals, hot-color VFX, and a concert recall. It brings in additional effects that are uncommon for skins at this price range, so it packs an extra bang for the buck. For different vibes, many players like Grim Reaper Karthus for the classic reaper theme, Infernal Karthus for molten clarity, and Pentakill Karthus for the original band look—compare them all here: All Karthus Skins.
