| Particles | Abilities use recolored dusty yellow and brown effects that feel gritty and mechanical |
| Animations | No new animations or emotes, so recall and movement reuse the base set. |
|---|---|
| Sounds | No new voice lines or voice actor, though his ability SFX use the updated verstion from patch 10.3 |
| Rarity | semi-rare |
| Release date | 14/02/2012 |
Subterranean Nautilus replaces the deep-sea diver look of base Nautilus with a heavy industrial exosuit, coating him in bright construction yellow with hazard stripes, worn metal, and exposed pipes, while his anchor becomes a hulking pneumatic drill that sells the demolition theme.
In-game, the recolored VFX shift his kit from oceanic blues to dusty yellows and browns, so Dredge Line, Titan’s Wrath, Riptide, and Depth Charge all feel earthier and more mechanical, and after the 10.3 SFX pass the ability sounds are punchier to match the drill-and-metal fantasy. The skin doesn’t add new animations or a custom recall, so movement and emotes feel like base, but the bold color palette and chunky drill silhouette make him easy to read in fights; it’s not tied to a holiday event or a formal skinline, and the industrial motif nods more to construction gear than any specific pop-culture reference.
Release date: 14 February 2012 (975 RP). It received a texture update in patch 4.17 and an ability SFX refresh in patch 10.3, and it now sits in the Legacy catalog with occasional returns via the Legacy Vault.
This is a standalone industrial theme rather than a formal skinline, so it doesn’t share a named narrative with other champions beyond the general “heavy machinery/mech" vibe.
It’s semi-rare because it’s a Legacy skin that isn’t always in the shop, originally priced at 975 RP and typically returning only during vault openings; collectors sometimes look for accounts that already own it, and you can browse availability on Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes, it can drop from Hextech crafting or be received via Mystery Gifts since Legacy skins remain in the loot pool, though the drop is not guaranteed; if you prefer an account that already has it, you can check Buy LoL Accounts.
It’s a clean budget pick with a strong silhouette, but many players favor Astronautilus for its full sci-fi treatment and Shan Hai Scrolls Nautilus for ornate mythic visuals and modern effects; you can compare them all on All Nautilus Skins.
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.
