Ahri, the Nine-Tailed Fox, is one of the most popular mid-lane champions in League of Legends. She offers players a unique playstyle as an assassin who quickly closes gaps and lures her opponents in with her charm to inflict damage.
While the champion is extremely powerful, she is also popular due to the variety of impressive skins in her collection. There are several different cosmetics available for the champion, highlighting many different styles and looks. Considering she was released in 2011, she received plenty of skins since then. The following list ranks the top 10 best Ahri cosmetics based on my personal preference. Creating this list was more difficult than I anticipated since almost all Ahri skins are relatively decent.
Coven Ahri
All Ahri skins in League experiment with bright colors and themes, except Coven Ahri. Released in Aug. 2021, Coven Ahri is a part of the Eclipse storyline and comes with a new voice filter, SFX/VFX effects, and animations. The skin costs 1,350 RP.
The champion is a lively character by nature, but Coven Ahri prefers sucking the life from “all she lures close” to siphon it towards her lords, the Old Gods. The purple tones used in the skin resemble the same artistic take on Kai’Sa’s base model.
Though League players aren’t strangers to these types of cosmetics, it was the first time that Ahri mains got to see their favorite champion like this.
Arcade Ahri
Released in 2016, Arcade Ahri joined the retro skin line. Priced at 1,350 RP, the Epic skin offers entirely unique VFX that pixelates her abilities as if she were in an arcade game.
The skin also included a new recall animation for the champion. While returning to base, Ahri plays an arcade machine. One of the skin’s most impressive features is its color-changing tails. These will cycle through a variety of colors over time. This unique color scheme has made Arcade Ahri one of the best and most popular skins available for the champion.
Spirit Blossom Ahri
The most recent skin addition for Ahri, Spirit Blossom Ahri became available during the 2020 Spirit Blossom event.
This unique Legendary skin was released at a premium 1,820 RP price tag. Not only is the skin visually impressive with its pink and blue color scheme, but Spirit Blossom Ahri’s tails also appear blue to suit the spirit theme implied in the name.
Outside of the aesthetic changes, the skin includes multiple unique animations for the champion. Players who aren’t the fondest of the color choices will be pleased to know that the skin is available in a range of chromas, including Aquamarine, Night Blossom, and Obsidian. If the cost is no issue, Spirit Blossom Ahri is one of the highest quality and most impressive looks for the champion.
Star Guardian Ahri
Star Guardian Ahri gives the mid laner distinct Sailor Moon vibes. The Star Guardian line of skins grew in popularity due to the accompanying story and video additions that told the tale of a group of high school students who became Star Guardians to protect the universe from cosmic enemies. Star Guardian Ahri was released in 2017, and the Legendary skin costs a total of 1,820 RP to acquire.
Popstar Ahri
Styling Ahri as a K-pop star might not be a unique concept for the champion anymore. But Popstar Ahri is where it all began.
Released in 2013 for just 975 RP, Popstar Ahri offers a bright pink look to the champion, boasting a completely unique character model with a new hat and clothing. The blue orb perfectly compliments her pink color scheme, making this skin one of the most aesthetically pleasing looks for the champion in the game. This look can be enhanced further with the addition of chroma variants for the champion, which allow her to adopt a new color scheme from Amethyst to Ruby.
This skin also includes unique animations for Ahri, including some hidden Easter eggs, such as dancing with a nearby Blue Sentinel. Due to all its unique features and its clean look, this is a great choice when purchasing a skin for the champion.
K/DA Ahri
Following her first musical endeavors, Ahri chose to reinvent her look by pairing up with fellow champions to create a K-pop group called K/DA.
K/DA Ahri is a popular skin not only due to K/DA’s music but also due to it being one of the most well-designed skins for the champion. This look redesigns her tail as what appears to be diamonds, while her choice of clothing provides an elegant white-and-black look. With the use of Prestige Points, players can unlock another variant of this cosmetic in the Prestige Edition. The most notable changes between these two variants are the adjustments in clothing and color scheme, with Ahri donning a rich gold attire.
Challenger Ahri
Likely the rarest skin for the champion, Challenger Ahri was first made available in the store to celebrate the beginning of season five back in 2015. Players can acquire the skin for just 975 RP.
This is a unique styling for the champion. Challenger Ahri adopts an armored outfit for the champion that is not at all like any of her other skins. Outside of this new armor plating, she boasts a red and white color scheme with her orb appearing blue, familiar to that of other skins. Like most of her skins, Challenger Ahri offers a list of unique animations for the character. The skin is also available in a golden chroma.
Academy Ahri
Part of the Academy skin line, this unique look for Ahri showcases her sport school attire. Much like the Star Guardian theme, Academy skins were introduced along with a series of comics that offer new looks for many champions. Most noticeable are the color changes, including the new red hair and simple brown fur on her tails. For just 750 RP this skin is available to purchase for Ahri and offers an impressive look for the champion.
Elderwood Ahri
This Ahri skin has grown in popularity largely due to the variations available with different chromas, made popular by the way they alter the color scheme, most noticeably on the champion’s tails. Outside of this, this is a minimalist look for the champion that sees her embrace the flowers in the forest that can be seen on her clothing and headpiece. This skin can be acquired for a price of 1,350 RP.
Arcana Ahri
The Arcana Ahri skin takes the nine-tailed fox champion away to a mystical realm. Auctioned for 1,350 RP, this skin gives the champion an enigmatic presence. Her orb glows with arcane power, and you can further personalize this skin with a variety of chromas that alter the color scheme of her outfit.
