League of Legends boasts unique champions and constantly dishes up incredible gameplay moments. However, there’s another thing Riot Games’ flagship title has become known for across the gaming world: its enormous catalog of beautifully crafted character skins from Riot’s talented artists and animators.
The team at Riot put a lot of work into these skins, and they continue to evolve and create even more fantastic designs after the game’s been running for so long. The team has honed its craft over the years and continues to bring its passion to the many fans playing the game. With 2024 nearly finished, how many skins are made to League of Legends?
How many skins are there in League of Legends?
As of October 2024, there are 1,723 skins in League of Legends for all characters in the game. That eye-watering number will only continue to increase as the Riot design team releases more character variants throughout this season and into the distant future. There are 1,181 skins available, 368 are in the vault, 52 are unavailable, and 122 are considered exceptionally rare. You can take a look at the weekly skin sale to see if you’re keen to purchase a new skin for your growing collection.
On average, Riot debuts as many as a dozen new skins each month across two League patches that bring various Legendary skins and, on the odd occasion, even rare Ultimate editions.
Each skin has one of four price points, from basic cosmetics, which cost the least, to more in-depth, detailed skins with new voice lines and animations.
The full price list is as follows:
- Regular skins: 975 RP or less
- Epic skins: 1,350 RP
- Legendary skins: 1,820 RP
- Ultimate skins: 3,250 RP
Many of these skins are no longer purchasable in the store client because they were either a limited-time event skin or a ranked reward. Some are only attainable with gemstones, while others are only available seasonally. Even still, hundreds of other skins will catch your eye while you peruse League’s many outfits and styles.
How do skin sets work in League of Legends?
Skins sets are a clever way for the Riot team to bundle many of the skins they’ve created over the years into a single package. If you’ve been eyeing a particular skin for your favorite Legend, it never hurts to see if there’s a skin set available that gives you other looks for additional characters.
These different skin lines range from Star Guardians, Bewitching, PsyOps, and Pool Party to Lunar Beast, Crime City, Battle Academia, and plenty more.
The more famous lines include the Worlds variants (there has been one every year since 2011), as well as musical editions like True Damage and K/DA. Players can unlock rare Victorious variants by finishing gold or above in competitive seasons, while gemstones can earn those that grind out League challenges cool Hextech skins.
Prestige skins in League of Legends
Every champion can have a Prestige skin, which can be crafted with Mythic Essence. Prestige skins are exclusive iterations of certain skins that are usually far more attractive and stunning. Champions to have already received a Prestige skin include Riven, Senna, Kayn, Diana, and Akali. There are 75 Prestige skins all up, with Prestige Immortal Journey Sona the latest one to be released, as of publication.
Chroma skins in League of Legends
Chroma skins are simply already existing skins, just in other colors. Introducing Chromas was a simple way for Riot to increase player creativity and options. Just over 300 champion skins can be changed into Chroma variants. That means there are approximately 3,000 Chromas across the full League of Legends roster.
Which champion has the most skins in League of Legends?
Here are the characters with the most skins in League of Legends as it all stands right now:
- 20 skins — Miss Fortune, Ezreal, Lux, Akali
- 17 skins — Ahri, Caitlyn, Ashe, and Vayne
- 16 skins — Sivir, Annie, Katarina, and Riven,
Naturally, the League champs with the most skins tend to have been on the roster since early 2009—though Lux and Miss Fortune both actually joined a year after the game’s release.
