Karthus Lightsbane

Karthus Lightsbane is a standard-tier skin that transforms Karthus into a celestial champion of light, clad in radiant white and gold armor with glowing runes and regal features that make him appear more human than lich.

• The theme and design borrow inspiration from Arthas-like paladin figures, emphasizing divine light, royal motifs, and a brighter reimagining of Karthus’ form.
• Special features include luminous custom VFX, glowing runic spell circles, radiant recall animation, and golden particle effects on abilities.
• Karthus Lightsbane is priced at 975 RP, released in November 2016, and remains available during store cycles or legacy events.
• Lore situates him in an alternate timeline before becoming undead, struggling with artifacts of light and divine magic.
• The skin is moderately popular for its fantasy paladin theme and fresh take on a normally grim champion.
• Additional features include shimmering splash art with lore nods and glowing ability monoliths.
• Fan reception is generally positive, admired for its brightness though contrasted with Karthus’ dark identity.
• Noteworthy gameplay effects highlight radiant spell visuals, heavenly sound cues, and uplifting light-infused ability particles.
