| Availability | Varus Swiftbolt is available in the in-game shop. You can also get it from Hextech |
|---|---|
| Price | 750 RP in the store. It can also be obtained through loot drops and rerolls. |
| Concept | Varus is styled as a DnD-inspired rogue/drow archer, fitting the Rift Quest tabletop RPG theme. It imagines him as a cursed adventurer rather than a darkin vessel. |
| Model | He wears forest green and brown leather with purple accents, plus pointed ears and dusky drow skin; his bow has a wooden finish with glowing violet details. This is a clear shift from base Varus’s pale, Ionian-darkin look and sleek bow. |
| Particles | Abilities use purple, arcane-style effects with subtle runes and magical flares, updated in V11.24 for clarity. Compared to base, the palette is brighter violet with a fantasy magic feel. |
| Animations | No new bespoke animations or emotes; it uses the base moves and recall. The overall feel is smooth after global VFX updates. |
|---|---|
| Sounds | It uses Varus’s base voice with no unique lines, though his voiceover was refreshed in V13.13 and SFX feel cleaner post-V11.24. There are no skin-exclusive interactions. |
| Rarity | common |

Varus Swiftbolt turns Varus into a fantasy rogue archer from a tabletop RPG party. He wears forest green and brown leather with purple trims, has pointed drow-like ears and dusky skin, and carries a wooden bow with glowing violet inlays. Compared to base Varus’s sleek, corrupted Ionian style, this look feels grounded, with textured leather belts, stitched panels, and carved wood grain that reads well in motion.
The abilities keep Varus’s identity but shift their tone. Piercing Arrow charges with a bright purple glow, Blighted Quiver marks show up as clean violet sigils, Hail of Arrows lands with arcane glyphs, and Chain of Corruption spreads as violet magical vines rather than inky corruption. The VFX update in V11.24 sharpened colors and made the hits clearer. There are no bespoke animations or a special recall; the skin rides on the base moveset, but the fantasy palette and runic touches make each shot feel like a spell-infused arrow.
This skin is part of the Rift Quest theme, which parodies and celebrates classic DnD classes. It is not tied to a seasonal event, but it borrows tabletop tropes like the drow archer and arcane-infused gear.
Release date: July 12, 2015. It received an across-the-board VFX clarity update in V11.24, a voiceover refresh in V13.13, and new ability icons for Varus in V13.18.
Rift Quest skins share a lighthearted tabletop RPG theme with classes like wizard, paladin, and dwarf brawler. They use leather, wood, runes, and bright magical color palettes to sell the fantasy party vibe.
Other Rift Quest-style skins include: Gragas Caskbreaker, Taric Luminshield, Ryze Whitebeard, and Bard Bard.
Varus Swiftbolt is not rare because it’s still in the shop for 750 RP and available in regular loot. It’s a Common skin; collectors value it for its theme rather than exclusivity. If you’re looking for accounts with this skin, check the marketplace here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
