Nightblade Irelia

In exchange for the power to expel Noxus from Ionia, Irelia struck a bargain with an evil spirit—a decision that would prove costly when her humanity began to slip away...

About Nightblade Irelia

Nightblade Irelia is a classic skin that reimagines the Blade Dancer as a shadowy warrior, wearing dark spiked armor with glowing eyes and sinister blades that emphasize a menacing, gothic aura.

  • The theme and design focus on a dark martial arts motif with heavy armor, glowing accents, and an ominous tone.
  • Special features include a redesigned model for Irelia and her blades, with recolored dark particles but no new animations or sounds.
  • The skin tier is classic, priced at 520 RP, and remains widely available in the store with occasional discounts.
  • Lore connection implies Irelia made a pact with a dark spirit, granting her corrupted power at a heavy cost.
  • Popularity is modest, often overshadowed by her more elaborate epic and legendary skins.
  • Additional features include splash art that highlights chaos and destruction with dramatic energy.
  • Fan reception is mixed, with praise for its sinister style but criticism of its bulky armor.
  • Noteworthy gameplay effects are limited to dark blade trails and recolored particles, keeping base animations intact.
