All Ekko Skins in League of Legends, Ranked

Key Takeaways

• Firelight Ekko, inspired by Arcane, boasts smooth visuals and impactful green color.
• True Damage Ekko, a legendary skin, offers top-tier design with fluid movement and catchy visuals.
• Sandstorm Ekko, at 975 RP, is a standout skin with a desert theme and phenomenal design.

Ekko is one of the most well-designed League of Legends characters in terms of lore, gameplay, and cosmetics. Zaun’s time warping wonderkid has been featured in a variety of skin collections ever since his release in 2015.

Ekko was already one of the more notable mid lane champions in League of Legends, and his popularity has substantially increased ever since his appearance in the hit Netflix series, Arcane. Those who choose to play him in the game have a number of options when it comes to cosmetics. It’s time to take a look at the ten skins Ekko currently has and rank them from worst to best.

This list will not include Prestige Star Guardian Ekko and True Damage Breakout Ekko, as they do not differ much from their base skins.

10 Academy Ekko

Deluxe Skin

• Price: 750 RP
• Release date: August 26, 2015
• Available in the store

Academy Ekko, unfortunately, secures the last spot on this list as Ekko’s worst League of Legends skin. This skin was released in 2015, and it has aged quite poorly compared to all of his other skins. Ekko is dressed in a school uniform with minimal changes to his overall design.

There are no major changes in the visual effects of his abilities, which is a big let-down. Unless players get this skin in their loot, it is best not to purchase this mediocre skin, as it does not change much from his base model.

9 Original Ekko

The Boy Who Shattered Time

Closely following the Academy skin is Ekko’s default skin. While it is extremely well-designed to capture the unique ambiance of Ekko, it is a default skin that pales in comparison to his other prominent skins.

There is not much else to critique about this cosmetic, as everyone who owns Ekko will have this skin. It does its job effectively, but does not hold a candle to the remaining entries on this list.

8 SKT T1 Ekko

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: June 27, 2017
• Legacy Vault cosmetic

SKT T1 Ekko is a special skin for The Boy Who Shattered Time. This skin can only be acquired during the period of MSI or Worlds. Furthermore, this is a cosmetic in honor of former SKT T1’s top laner Lee “Duke” Ho-Seong, who won the 2016 League of Legends World Championship.

The skin incorporates a gold-and-red color palette, while featuring the SKT T1 logo on some of his abilities. The sound effects are not the crispiest, and it falls in the land of mediocrity as a cosmetic that is just there. It is a decent skin, but it does not have any outstanding features to make it truly shine.

7 Star Guardian Ekko

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: July 14, 2022
• Available in the store

The Star Guardian skin universe is one of the few collections that just does not fit well with Ekko’s thematic. While it is a unique take on his character and an unexpected skin universe for him to feature in, the visuals and character model are not the greatest.

The abilities lack a powerful punch, and they do not have the same smoothness compared to the best Ekko skins. Some of the chromas do make this skin look gorgeous, but this is an example of a skin that could have been so much better.

6 Trick Or Treat Ekko

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: October 24, 2018
• Legacy Vault cosmetic

Trick or Treat is one of Ekko’s most underrated skins, due to its rare availability in the store. This skin has apt sound effects and gives an interesting vibe to Ekko’s abilities.

The major downsides of this skin are the redesign of his melee weapon and the fact that the colors do not suit him too well. Overall, it is a middle of the pack skin for Ekko, though it still deserves a lot more recognition than it gets.

5 Firelight Ekko

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: February 17, 2022

Firelight Ekko remains faithful to his appearance in Arcane‘s first season. This is the quintessential example of a skin where minimal, smooth visual effects synchronize well to create wonders. The green color featured in all of his abilities makes it even cooler and more impactful. This skin expertly captures Ekko’s undying allegiance to the Firelights as their leader.

4 PROJECT: Ekko

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: August 1, 2016
• Available in the store

Ekko’s foray into the PROJECT skin universe saw him receive his first Epic skin, and it does not disappoint despite being released several years ago. Ever since his release, the PROJECT skin line was a no-brainer for Ekko to be featured in, considering his background as an inventor and time manipulator.

Once again, the green aesthetic works quite well on this skin. The sound effects and the visual changes to his abilities are the best parts of this skin. PROJECT: Ekko remains one of the most popular skins for Zaun’s rebellious tinkerer.

3 Sandstorm Ekko

Standard Skin

• Price: 975 RP
• Release date: May 27, 2015
• Available in the store

Sandstorm is easily Ekko’s most distinct skin. When players look at this champion, they would not expect him to be featured in a desert-based skin collection. However, Riot Games did a phenomenal job designing this cosmetic. This skin is an absolute steal too, costing only 975 Riot Points.

Ekko’s attire is phenomenal and captures the essence of a wandering nomad. The visuals of his abilities are not the best, but the sound effects more than make up for it. It is one of Ekko’s smoothest skins, and a staple for players that main him.

2 Pulsefire Ekko

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: May 14, 2020
• Available in the store

Pulsefire is another skin collection for Ekko that fits like a glove. The technologically advanced, futuristic sound effects elevate this skin to a new degree. The default color palette fits him surprisingly well, with a bunch of noteworthy chromas as well.

The only gripe with this skin is the underwhelming in-game character model. Aside from this one blemish, the SFX and ability design makes it one of Ekko’s best skins in League of Legends.

1 True Damage Ekko

Legendary Skin

• Price: 1820 RP
• Release date: November 10, 2019
• Available in the store

It is only fitting for Ekko’s only legendary skin to be his best. True Damage is, hands down, one of the best designed skins in the game. Ekko’s fluid movement, epic voice lines, eye-catching visuals, and empowering sound effects make this the complete package.

It is evident that Riot went all-out in making this skin, and it was a resounding success. It reinterprets Ekko as a successful rapper for the band GIANTS, and incorporates the catchy characteristics of his alternate persona seamlessly. True Damage Ekko remains a hallmark for music-based skins in League of Legends.
