Warring Kingdoms Jarvan IV dresses the Crown Prince as a Three Kingdoms warlord. He trades his blue Demacian plate for deep navy armor trimmed in bright gold, layered with red tassels and a dragon chestpiece. His spear becomes a jagged gilded polearm heavier and more ornate than the base weapon.
In game, his abilities glow with red particles accented with gold, giving a fire sparks feel. E plants a rich red-and-gold banner, Q carves a dark slash with a red sparks, W pulses a red shield, and R slams down with a red-black obsidian rock barrier.
No SFX changes because it’s one of the older epic skins. There is also no custom recall that’s standard in modern skins.
The skin launched for Lunar Revel and fits the Warring Kingdoms lineup, which nods to Romance of the Three Kingdoms and classic period dramas. It also includes extra quotes that reinforce the general persona. A Golden chroma exists if you want a brighter armor finish.
Release date: February 8, 2013.
V8.14: Updated SFX. V8.19: New VFX. V13.18: New ability icons.
Warring Kingdoms is an alternate-universe thematic in League of Legends that reimagines champions as legendary emperors, generals, assassins, and heroes from a mythic age of rival dynasties. Battles of honor and mastery define the setting, with ornate armor, jade-and-gold accents, and festival-war motifs. Note: there are no official comics, shorts, or external lore developing this universe beyond the skin trailers, splash art, and in-game content. Skins may appear across other Riot titles (e.g., Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra), but only the League skins are linked below.
The skinline references the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* (三国演义) — one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. Books setting is in around 2nd–3rd century CE in the Three Kingdoms Period, however the skins’ name obviously reference the Warring Kindoms Period.
What’s more is that Jarvan IV is directly referencing the Lü Bu (吕布) one of the main character who fights with a halberd.
Here are some unique quotes from the chinese localization of League of Legends and how they reference the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* (三国演义).
Connection to Romance of the Three Kingdoms:
In the novel, Lü Bu is portrayed as the fiercest warrior of the age — “Among men, Lü Bu; among horses, Red Hare" (人中吕布,马中赤兔).
He is remembered for his betrayals (turning on Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and others), his romance with Diaochan (partly fictionalized), and his unmatched martial skill.
These quotes dramatize his arrogance, invincibility, iconic weapons and horse, his relationship with Diaochan, and ultimately the traits that led to both his fame and downfall.
Tip: For a far-future sequel concept to this mythic war, check out Mecha Kingdoms —but it’s a separate skinline.
It is not rare. The skin is a 1350 RP Epic that stays in the store and also appears in normal loot, so it’s classified as Common. If you want an account with it unlocked, check the marketplace here: Buy LoL Skin Accounts.
Yes. Since it is not a legacy skin, it can drop from Hextech chests, Masterwork chests, event orbs/capsules, and it can appear in Mystery Gifts. You can also find accounts that already own it on LoL Accounts, Buy LoL Accounts.
It’s a top pick if you like Lunar Revel themes and bold red‑gold colors. If you prefer something cosmic and darker, Dark Star Jarvan IV is very popular; for a festival look with fresh effects, Lunar Beast Jarvan IV is also a fan favorite. You can compare all options here: All Jarvan IV Skins.
