This skin is not Jax dressed up as a temple, unfortunately. However, he is dressed as a monk, which might be the second-best thing. Let’s take a look at the splash art before delving into the in game skin.
His splash art breaks away from Riots ordinary style, particularly the background!
The background itself is a sketch of black and white mountains, twin waterfalls, and a pond with lilies floating just beneath Jax’s feet. This brings us to our next interesting point about this image, one that’s not obvious at first glance;
Jax is running on water. The idea of moving so fast that you can run up walls or over still waters is a “monk” thing, which is fitting with this skin. Additionally, Jax himself is the only part of the picture that is drawn in colour.
The art style of Jax is different too, and it really helps him pop. If the colors were any brighter then it might be jarring, but with these muted tones it works quite well.
Splotches of what might be ink or blood – you decide – tie this whole piece together, and his in game model is even better!
Temple Jax truly dresses for the part! He wears a wide brim bamboo hat and his hands are bound in cloth to protect his knuckles while fighting, even though he doesn’t use his fists.
Then again, who would use their fists when they have access to a double-sided Halberd. Perhaps a Quarterstaff would have been more befitting for a Monk, but this works too. Or at least, it works for us, we’re not so sure about Jax.
He’s kept his “Imagine if I had a real weapon” quote, which leads us to believe that he ordinarily fights with a twohanded lightsaber.
Moving on from Jax and his absurdly high standards, this skin is available in the Riot store for only 750 RP!
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.
