Some players show off mechanics in Summoner’s Rift, while others flex styles. League of Legends skins are a mini-game. At the top of in-game couture, you’ll find Legendary skins, the 1820 RP shinies that transform the cinematics.
A Legendary skin is reinventing the original version so much that some players even feel like they’re playing a different game, in a good way! Appearance, animation, and audio revamps, at this price point, are what you should be expecting.
Our stylebook will provide a complete catalog for every Legendary skin in League of Legends. A stylish player like yourself understands that how you look is just as important as how you play.
So, what exactly does this Legendary skin tier stand for? For the price of 1,820 Riot Points (RP), you get a complete overhaul that redefines your in-game persona.
A Legendary skin typically includes:
Riot Games’ artists and designers flex their creative muscles for these skins. The newly crafted experiences can make champions you’ve played a thousand times feel brand new.
The Legendary tier isn’t new. In the early days of League, skins like Gentleman Cho’Gath and Annie in Wonderland were the rare pioneers with bold new models when most skins were simple color changes. They look far from perfect as of today, but they showed intent.
As the years went on, the ambition and tech grew. Skins like Zombie Brand introduced more visual and sound effect upgrades.
Then, a modern era was kicked off by releases like PROJECT: Ashe. This line of skins established a new standard: a full suite of custom animation, voice-over, and lore in an alternate universe.
And today, every new Legendary skin is a purchase temptation.
Some Legendary skins are more than popular. Players collect them even if they barely play the champs.
This skin is pure Ionian art. Ahri glides across the map, her tails flowing like watercolor brushstrokes, and her abilities with ethereal effects. Her transformation into a celestial fox spirit during her ult is visually alive.
This skin changes the Freljordian archer outfit into a more wild Western mechanical style. Her movements and attacks are sharp, and her voice lines speak a cold, righteous fury. It nicely blends the sci-fi, western, and gothic themes.
Where are the Arcane fans? Well, this is not the Prestige Arcane Commander Caitlyn, but it recasts Caitlyn as a cool ace student at a prestigious combat school. Her rifle transforms with every ability, her ultimate even looks higher damage (only looks, not stats), and her recall animation is a total swag.
Proving that Legendary doesn’t always mean serious, this skin is a funkadelic party on two legs. The usually clunky robot becomes a groovy disco machine. You just can’t stop zooming in and staring at the cat co-pilots in their silly, cute dance moves, even during a tense match.
It’s a common question. While both Legendary and Ultimate skins offer premier experiences, they serve slightly different purposes. To put them simple:
Feature | Legendary Skins (1820 RP) | Ultimate Skins (3250 RP) |
---|---|---|
Core Concept | A complete thematic reinvention of a champion. | An evolving, dynamic experience that often changes during a match. |
Primary Features | New model, VFX, SFX, animations, and voice-over. | All Legendary features, plus unique mechanics like in-game form swapping. |
Examples | PROJECT: Ashe, Dark Cosmic Jhin, Coven Morgana. | Elementalist Lux, DJ Sona, K/DA ALL OUT Seraphine. |
The Vibe | The definitive version of a champion within a specific theme. | A multi-faced cosmetic that offers several skins’ worth of variety in one. |
