Pharaoh Nidalee dresses the huntress in white and gold robes trimmed with turquoise, topped by a golden headdress and jewelry that evoke ancient Egyptian regalia. Her spear reads as a ceremonial javelin, and the cougar form becomes a sleek Siamese-like cat with black paws, bright blue eyes, and gold trinkets, which is a clear change from the base jungle cat look.
In game, the updated VFX does heavy lifting: Javelin Toss uses an updated egpytial style spear with a golden blade and sand effects that make it look like it travels through sand storm in bright sun. Takedown and other cat abilities use bright yellow-orange sand VFX. The model’s textures are brighter than base Nidalee, with polished metals and smooth fabrics that stand out on the Rift, while cougar form carries the theme through colored eyes and accessories.
This skin sits in the Pharaoh mini-theme alongside other ancient Egypt nods and naturally mirrors Shurima-like aesthetics without direct lore ties. It’s a straightforward homage rather than a parody, leaning on classic headdresses and jewelry; there are no unique jokes or interactives beyond the visual pass.
Audio was refreshed over time—SFX clarity improved with earlier updates, and a new voiceover landed in V13.5—though it doesn’t add skin-only lines. There are no custom animations or a bespoke recall, which is expected for a 520 RP skin of its era.

Pharoah is a desert-mythology universe set in an alternate Shurima. Champions appear as tomb guardians, cursed spirits, assassins, and raiders. Visuals lean into gold filigree, turquoise inlay, scarab motifs, and sand-whipped effects. The universe officially bundles two thematics: Guardian of the Sands and its sister line Pharaoh.
Pharaoh Nidalee costs 520 RP and belongs to the sister Pharaoh line. It’s a low-cost legacy-tier skin tied to the older Shuriman royalty aesthetic, so direct store availability is limited. For pre-unlocked access, browse curated skin accounts here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
