Full list of Battle Queen skins

Queen of Spades

Battle Queen Fiora’s in-game appearance closely resembles her base skin, particularly her silver outfit. While her design concept is intriguing, the in-game model fails to truly capture this vision.

Similarly, Battle Queen Miss Fortune and Battle Princess Annie boast stunning splash art but fall short of their in-game counterparts. These skins lack the distinct visual identity needed to differentiate them from existing skins like Captain Miss Fortune or Winterblessed Annie.

Yass, queens!

Rell, the iron maiden, undergoes a striking transformation in her Battle Queen skin. The stark contrast between her gritty base skin and this regal interpretation is captivating. Known for her imposing presence and unwavering determination, Rell’s portrayal as a heroic queen is a perfect fit.

The skin’s visual appeal is further enhanced by stunning blue particle effects that complement her armored aesthetic. Her crit animation is a particular standout, adding a touch of spectacle to her already formidable kit.

Battle Queen Qiyana is a delightful blend of whimsy and royalty. Her design evokes an otherworldly princess, with charming details like princess-style drill twin tails and a bejeweled chakram. This skin successfully captures Qiyana’s playful yet deadly character, offering a fresh take on the champion’s visual identity.

Battle Queen Gwen is a masterpiece in both concept and execution. Her in-game model is a visual treat, with fluid animations and seamless special effects. The skin’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from her elegant attire to the satisfying sound design of her abilities. Gwen’s transformation into a Battle Queen is a triumph.

Champions of the Coronation

The Battle Queen crown undoubtedly belongs to Katarina. This legendary skin transforms her into a regal yet fierce warrior, complete with a stunning purple ensemble. The true highlight, however, lies in her dynamic blade transformations.

With each three kills, Katarina wields a new blade, creating a visually captivating spectacle. The seamless integration of these blade changes into her abilities. Her ultimate, Monsoon, looks most impressive.

Diana’s Battle Queen skin is a close contender, showcasing the image of a divine warrior princess. Her ethereal beauty, combined with the striking blood-rose particle effects, creates a visually stunning character. The skin’s resemblance toSaber from Fate/stay nightadds an extra layer of charm for anime fans. There’s even a Prestige Edition featuring a white and gold armor set.

While Janna may not possess the same level of visual impact as Katarina or Diana, her Battle Queen skin is a charming representation of a nature-oriented queen. With her pink and teal battle dress and butterfly-themed effects, she offers a refreshing contrast to the more warrior-like aesthetics of the other skins.
