| Concept | Wukong as an infernal, molten warrior made of rock and flame. The theme turns him into a lava golem with obsidian armor and a magma-lit staff. |
| Model | His body looks like cracked volcanic stone with glowing magma veins, and his armor shifts to blackened obsidian with ember glows. |
| Particles | Abilities use fire-tinted effects with ember trails and molten hits layered over the base VFX, keeping the look hot and smoky. |
| Animations | Uses base animations and emotes; there are no custom movement sets. Recall is the standard Wukong recall. |
|---|---|
| Sounds | No new voice lines or voice actor; it keeps Wukong’s base VO. Ability sounds are mostly base, with slight fiery accents fitting the theme. |
| Rarity | common |

Volcanic Wukong turns the Monkey King into a molten creature of rock and fire. Compared to base Wukong’s gold-and-red armor, this skin swaps in scorched textures, magma veins under cracked “skin,” and an obsidian staff rimmed with heat, which makes every swing feel heavy and blistering.
The effects lean into the fire fantasy with ember pops and a warm glow on ability hits without going overboard. Q slams look like heated impacts, E dashes leave faint sparks, W drops a smoky, hot burst from his decoy, and R spins with a cinder-laced swirl, all riding on the base ability shapes for clear gameplay.
This is not tied to a seasonal event; it’s a classic fiery take sometimes grouped with “Infernal”-style skins. There are no meme or direct media references—just a clean lava warrior theme that reads well in-game.
Release date: July 26, 2011 (launched with Wukong). Over the years it has received small polish updates alongside global client and champion adjustments, but no major rework unique to the skin.
Volcanic Wukong belongs to the Infernal skinline, a series of alternate future/universe skins in League of Legends. In this universe, the Ashen Lord has been summoned, turning Runeterra into a scorched realm of molten rock, fire, and ash. Champions are reimagined as elemental horrors, volcanic titans, and corrupted spirits who spread his apocalypse. Each Infernal skin features cracked lava textures, glowing magma cores, and blazing red-orange VFX that embody the eternal fire consuming this alternate world. Trivia: the line is divided into different Infernal legions — some champions directly serve the Ashen Lord, while others embody natural forces like wildfire, magma, or volcanic fury that have been twisted into destruction.
Volcanic Wukong is not rare because it’s still sold in the shop for 975 RP. It’s a Common skin that’s easy to pick up or craft, though collectors may still value accounts with long-owned launch skins; see Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes. Since it’s not Legacy, you can open it from Hextech chests, reroll skin shards into it, or get it from Mystery Gifts. If you prefer starting fresh with a ready collection, you can also browse LoL Accounts, Buy LoL Accounts.
It’s a strong budget pick if you like a clean, fiery look with readable effects. For more premium options, Mecha Kingdoms Wukong offers a full thematic overhaul with custom VFX and a legendary feel, and Arcana Wukong brings ornate tarot-styled visuals with rich reds and golds; you can compare them on All Wukong 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.
