In the world of League of Legends, Prestige skins have become synonymous with exclusivity, luxury, and aesthetic brilliance. These rare and coveted skins offer players the opportunity to stand out on the Rift with stunning visuals and unique features. From elegant enchantresses to divine warriors, each Prestige skin tells a captivating story through its design. In this article, we explore five Prestige skins that have left players in awe, from the graceful Prestige K/DA Ahri to the awe-inspiring Prestige Duality Dragon Volibear.

Since 2022, the acquisition of Prestige skins has been made possible through the use of mythic essence, previously, it was only available with event points, which can be earned by engaging in gameplay with the event pass active.

By opening hextech chests, players can obtain mythic essence, with masterwork hextech chests providing guaranteed drops.

If you want to obtain an older prestige skin, we are sad to inform you that right now prestige skins are available randomly in hextech loot. You need to have 100+ mythic essence ready and sometimes wait for years to get your desired skin. Available skins are rotated in and out every 3-6 months.

Currently available skins at the time of writing this article (May 2023) are:

List of top 5 Prestige skins


  1. Prestige K/DA Ahri Prestige K/DA Ahri, released in 2019, showcases the champion's dazzling elegance. With a bright, luxurious outfit, golden abilities, and model, Ahri exudes pure sophistication. Her nine tails flow gracefully and resemble golden diamonds, creating an irresistible charm. As she attacks with her abilities, her model and tails blend pink and gold, creating a stunning display.
  2. Prestige Nightbringer Kayn Debuting in 2021, Prestige Nightbringer Kayn is an exceptional skin that showcases the champion's unique qualities across his three forms. With significant improvements to Kayn's base and Darkin form, the skin offers an enhanced experience. The white flowy ponytail and prestigious outfit elevate the base form, while the added details on Rhaast's Darkin form emphasize his dominating presence. The Shadow Assassin form also receives its share of Prestige treatment with white tattoos, hair, and outfit, although some players still prefer the original Nightbringer form.
  3. Prestige Battle Queen Diana Released in 2020, Prestige Battle Queen Diana is a magnificent skin that exudes power and elegance. This skin transforms Diana into a radiant queen, adorned in a baroque-style outfit that complements her majesty. Prestige Battle Queen Diana has smooth, clean ability animations and unique visual effects that set it apart from the standard version. The golden additions to her crescent blade is an exceptionally eye-catching touch, making this skin a standout even among other Prestige skins.
  4. Prestige Ascended Pantheon Debuting in 2021, Prestige Ascended Pantheon is an awe-inspiring skin that brings a whole new dimension to the champion's design. With little resemblance to the original Ruined Pantheon skin, this Prestige version offers a creative and divine take on the champion. The blue skin, gold and white armor, and flowing celestial cloak all add to his divine appearance. The skin also features golden and bright abilities that beautifully blend the Ruined visuals with a celestial design, making it one of the most creative Prestige skins to date.
  5. Prestige Duality Dragon Volibear Launched in 2021, Prestige Duality Dragon Volibear is a jaw-dropping skin that stands above the rest. Since Volibear's rework in 2020, his visual and ability designs have been extraordinary, and this Prestige skin takes it to another level. With its massive model, stunning gold and red color scheme, and impressive animations, this skin is truly unmatched. The ultimate ability model showcases a dark, imposing figure adorned with shining gold armor. As a fun twist, the skin's model takes the form of a panda rather than a polar bear, adding a touch of Kung Fu Panda-inspired charm. As a bonus, one of Volibear's emotes even features him juggling three tiny Prestige Poros, making this skin a must-have for collectors.

Conclusion:


League of Legends continues to push the boundaries of visual design with its impressive roster of Prestige skins. Whether it's the dazzling elegance of Prestige K/DA Ahri, the enhanced forms of Prestige Nightbringer Kayn, the regal power of Prestige Battle Queen Diana, the divine transformation of Prestige Ascended Pantheon, or the jaw-dropping spectacle of Prestige Duality Dragon Volibear, these skins captivate players with their attention to detail and exquisite aesthetics.
