Best Vi Skins In LoL

Key Takeaways

• The best Vi skins are PsyOps, Demon, and PROJECT due to clean sound effects and thematic animations.
• Heartbreaker, Warring Kingdoms, and Arcane Brawler fall short with lackluster visuals and sound effects.
• Neon Strike, Heartache, and Demon are top choices for Vi mains looking for unique looks and thematic animations.

Violet, more commonly known as Vi, is one of the most well-known League of Legends characters, especially after her major involvement in Arcane.

Vi has become a fan-favorite among the casual audience, but she has also been a very popular jungler for many years in normal and competitive play. Being in the game for around twelve years, she has amassed a dozen skins for players to choose from, and this list should provide a good idea of which ones to buy and avoid.

12 Debonair Vi

Deluxe Skin

• Price: 750 RP
• Release date: August 05, 2014
• Available in the store

Debonair is easily Vi’s worst skin in League of Legends. This skin adds next to nothing in terms of unique visual and sound effects. It is simply a re-skin of Vi’s default skin with a more formal look for the brawler.

While it is fairly priced at 750 RP, it isn’t recommended to buy this skin as there are plenty of better options for slightly higher prices.

11 Officer Vi

Standard Skin

• Price: 975 RP
• Release date: October 29, 2013
• Available in the store

Officer Vi is quite similar to most of the basic skins for Vi, as there isn’t a noticeable change to the looks of her abilities. However, Officer does have a nice outfit for Vi, which captures her role as the Enforcer.

The best part about this skin is the police sirens when using her ultimate. However, for 975 RP, it is not the best bang for the buck.

10 Arcane Undercity Vi

Standard Skin

• Price: 975 RP
• Release date: November 15, 2021
• Only available through chests

Arcane Undercity Vi was her first Arcane-themed skin, released a week before Season 1 of the series concluded. While it doesn’t boast any major features, there are some neat additions to the VFX that help it stand out from the previous entries on the list.

After the conclusion of Arcane Season 2, it also serves as a reminder of Vi’s character arc, which adds to the overall feel of the skin.

9 Neon Strike Vi

Standard Skin

• Price: 975 RP
• Release date: 19 December, 2012
• Available in the store

Neon Strike Vi is the best skin for the Piltover Enforcer that doesn’t feature major changes to the VFX of her abilities. One of the biggest reasons for it being a fan favorite among Vi mains is the cool recall animation.

Apart from this, the unique outfit and color scheme also suit Vi unexpectedly well, making it a worthwhile investment for players looking to pick up a budget Vi skin.

8 Heartbreaker Vi

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: 11 February, 2019
• Legacy Vault cosmetic

Heartbreaker Vi is one of the eight skins that have distinct visual and sound effects. Unfortunately, it has the honor of being the worst among this particular class. The color palette and theme just don’t suit Vi quite well.

The sound effects on her abilities are also seriously lacking, and it is often quite clunky compared to her other epic skins.

7 Warring Kingdoms Vi

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: 19 January, 2017
• Legacy Vault cosmetic

Warring Kingdoms Vi is another epic skin that feels flat compared to its potential. The green aesthetic and overall theme of Vi being an enforcer for Azir, the Emperor of the Sands, in this alternate universe is a great concept.

The sound effects are frankly abysmal, which really puts a dent in this skin. If this skin had better visual flair and SFX, it could easily be a top-four skin for Vi.

6 Primal Ambush Vi

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: 24 January, 2024
• Available in the store

Primal Ambush is Vi’s latest epic skin, and the first pair of champions to feature in this new skin universe alongside Riven, Talon, and Sivir. The tiger-based theme of this skin suits Vi well, but it lacks impact in the VFX department, much like Heartbreaker and Warring Kingdoms.

In terms of the in-game character model, this is one of Vi’s best skins, but the mediocre sound effects that rely too much on animalistic growls are a letdown. However, it is definitely in the upper echelon of Vi skins that players can consider buying.

5 PsyOps Vi

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: 03 September, 2020
• Available in the store

PsyOps Vi is quite a minimalistic yet powerful epic skin. It doesn’t have overly flashy visual effects, but it makes up for it with clean sound effects and smooth animations. The only improvement that can be made to the skin is a better character model. Otherwise, it is one of Vi’s best skins in terms of animation and thematic.

4 Arcane Brawler Vi

Legendary Skin

• Price: 1820 RP
• Release date: 20 November, 2024
• Available in the store

Arcane Brawler is Vi’s first legendary skin, and it is a big disappointment. It ranks this high on the list purely because of its entirely new animations and sound effects. Apart from this, it feels like a more enhanced version of her regular skin.

For the hefty price of 1820 RP, it doesn’t change much about Vi. While it is aesthetically relevant to the events of Arcane Season 2, it fails to stand out as a good legendary skin and is a big letdown on what could have been an exceptional cosmetic.

3 Heartache Vi

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: 10 February, 2023
• Available in the store

Heartache Vi is the better version of Heartbreak as the color palette of black and red perfectly captures Vi’s character. The sound effects are brilliant, and the slick animations are the cherry on top.

This is a well-made skin for Vi as she looks cool and on-brand in terms of character design. This is a skin that players can definitely look to purchase for a worthwhile price of 1350 RP.

2 Demon Vi

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date:19 October, 2015
• Available in the store

Demon Vi is one of her oldest skins, but it continues to stand the test of time as one of her very best. The detail in the character model is incredible, but it doesn’t stop there. The animations and SFX on her abilities, such as the bat wings flapping as she charges her Q ability, are a great touch.

It also fits Vi’s fiery and head-on persona as a terrifying monster hellbent on serving punishment, further amplified by her sinister voice change. This skin is a must-have for any player looking to be a Vi main.

1 PROJECT: Vi

Epic Skin

• Price: 1350 RP
• Release date: 22 November, 2017
• Available in the store

PROJECT is Vi’s smoothest and best skin out of them all. First and foremost, it is the most pay-to-win skin for her, as players can clearly see the stacks of her passive whenever an enemy is attacked.

However, the primary selling point is the incredibly smooth and lightweight feel for a champion meant to be heavy and hard-hitting. Despite the lack of chromas, it is Vi’s best skin in League of Legends for a good reason.
