The character Jinx from League of Legends has garnered much more attention recently because of her prominent role in the phenomenal Arcane television series. The counterpart of this character from the virtual world of video games came into existence in 2013 with the introduction of Jinx to League of Legends. However, she has achieved the timeless status that makes her seem perennial. While she currently has 14 skins, only nine are available for sale; the rest are sealed up in the top-secret Legacy Vault.
Jinx has various skins, but this ranking will examine eight notable ones. Each skin’s particular effects and animations will be considered, along with how well each matches Jinx’s offbeat, manic persona, to justify its placement on this list.
8-Odyssey Jinx
- Launched in 2018
- Cost: 1350 RioCost: 1350 Riot points are available for purchase. Chromas: aquamarine, emerald, pearl, rose quartz, ruby, and tanzanite
- Chromas: aquamarine, emerald, pearl, rose quartz, ruby, and Tanzanite.
The skins of The Odyssey’s skins were integral to the alternate reality/future universe from which they originated. Marvel: Inspired by Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and the gaming series known as Borderlands, the skins have a somewhat offbeat science fiction feel. They each come with their own piece of lore to keep fans curious and engaged.
The Odyssey skin for Jinx envisions her as the astronaut and weapons manufacturer for the crew of the Morning Star ship. Her default appearance with the skin features dark blonde hair, one braid, and a cable in place of the other braid. Outlaw style, complete with a robotic left arm, makes her look ready to rule deep space.
Jinx receives new animations, distinct effects, sound effects, and a novel recall with this skin. She also gets an arsenal alteration that aligns much better with the sci-fi theme and is more appropriate for the character. For instance, her rocket launcher is now the Super Mega Death Comet, which fires, if the name wasn’t a dead giveaway, comets and planetoids.
Jinx’s Odyssey Jinx’s suit perfectly fits her chaotic nature while placing her in an alternate reality as a renegade space explorer. This is an excellent choice for those wanting to infuse a bit of 7: The Zombie Slayer Jinx sci-fi mayhem into their Jinx gameplay.
7: The zombie slayer Jinx
- Launched in 2015
- Price: 1350 Riot Points
Only purchasable when the Legacy Vault is available
- No Chromas
Certainly! Here is a rephrased version of your text that remains faithful to the source material in terms of structure, meaning, and overall appearance:
Jinx is an ideal character for a zombie apocalypse. Regarding thematic fit, Zombie Slayer Jinx could hardly be a better match for Jinx’s affable nature.
With this skin, Jinx adopts a punk rock style. With this skin, Jinx dons a punk rock, dystopian ensemble, complete with pink hair and stripy socks that pair well with leather boots. The League of Legends star receives new textures for her outfit and her guns, enhancing her recall animation, which depicts her battling a horde of zombies.
Even if the effects and animations don’t rank among the most impressive for Jinx’s Jinx’s skins, the Zombie Slayer theme fits her so well that it can’t help but be seen as one of her best skins.
6-Battle Cat Jinx
- Released in 2022
- Cost: 1350 Riot Points Available to Buy
- Chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Nightwire, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, and Tanzanite: League of Legends released Jinx, Battle Cat, as part of the Anima Squad set, and the character quickly became a fan favourite.
Jinx, Battle Cat was released as part of the Anima Squad set in League of Legends and quickly became a fan favourite. The skin combines animal-inspired looks with high-powered technological outfits, making for cool and cute, adorable designs. Jinx’s Anima skin links her to a cat, as the name adorable skin suggests; she not only gets a new look but also gets new effects and animations.
In the Battle Cat skin, Jinx dons a cat ear headband, applies blue face paint, and styles her braids into two long pigtails. The skin-complexioned Jinx styles her braids into two long pigtails. The default colour palette for the kin gives Jinx a white, cat-like appearance from head to toe.
This skin alters every animation that Jinx has, including her recall animation, which now shows her summoning the spirit of the Battle Cat. Her effects in-game are the coolest part of this skin. Her rocket launcher is an ordinary object in the realm of League of Legends. She has now upgraded the rocket trails and added some cool sound effects to accompany her actions.
Jinx’s Battle Cat skin encapsulates her chaotic essence well. Still, it also meshes excellently with the other Anima Squad skins and features some expertly made effects that are in perfect harmony with the Battle Cat theme.
5-Ambitious Elf Jinx
- Debuted in 2017
- Price: 1350 Riot Points
Only obtainable when the Legacy Vault is accessible
- It does not have any Chromas.
Following is a skin that doesn’t sound like it would The next skin appears unappealing on paper, yet it perfectly complements Jinx in real life. Paper but that in action suits Jinx to a T. With the Ambitious Elf skin, Jinx is dressed as one of Santa’s elves, complete with a Christmas-themed outfit, long, pointy elf ears, and a set of books that Jinx probably uses to mislabel the naughty list. The official skin description describes Jinx as a “master toymaker and inventor” who aspires to become Santa one day. Her fellow elves worry that her toys are too much like weapons.
Jinx’s explosive skills in the lore lend themselves well to the Christmas outfit and elf ears. It was a surprise to me that she fit them so well. One of the weird elements of this skin is her new Super Mega Death Rocket. Instead of a shark-themed rocket launcher, we have a giant Christmas present with teeth and googly eyes. While I wouldn’t take this overly seriously, having such a wonderfully creative element as this rocket skin in the game is lovely.
The effects and animations of Jinx’s new skin, such as the one where she rides a toy train, elevate it to a new level. It might hone in on Christmas, but Ambitious Elf Jinx is a skin you can enjoy any day of the year.
4-Arcane Jinx
- Launched in 2021
- Price: 975 Riot Points
- Not available at the moment
- No Chromas
We designed and unveiled the following skin as a tribute to the Arcane: League of Legends animated Netflix series. This skin depicts Jinx in the show’s illustrations.
She has a fashion sense that matches her appearance in the program. Jinx’s assortment of weapons mirrors those from the series. Their original counterparts serve as the foundation, but the show’s Jinx wields them with her distinctive flair.
The execution of Jinx’s Arcane-styled model, along with the accompanying animations and effects, is excellent. Although the skin isn’t commonly available anymore, it’s one to watch out for, especially if you’re a big fan of the Arcane show.
3-Prestige Battle Cat Jinx
- Launched in 2022
- Price: Special, but can sometimes be purchased for between 100 and 150 Mythic Essence
- Rarity: Rare and limited, so only available sometimes.
- No Chromas
The Battle Cat Jinx skin is already one of the best skins you can get for the character. The skin retains the base features of Jinx but enhances everything from the model to the visual and sound effects. Most importantly—at least for our purposes here—it changes Jinx’s ult to something much more fitting for a battle cat.
This skin gives Jinx a look that calls to mind the Battle Cat outfit. However, Jinx’s appearance is even more extravagant and sophisticated. When sporting the Prestige Battle Cat skin, Jinx has long pink hair with bangs. She has styled her braids, which are half pink and half purple, to suggest that she has been in a Coplay workroom. Her bodysuit is now a mix of brilliant whites, gold’s, and blues in the light. She has kept her cat ears. She has also styled them to resemble a dentist’s office in three dimensions.
The look Jinx has when she wears the Prestige Battle Cat skin is reminiscent of a sci-fi heroine crossed with a magical girl, and honestly, what more could you ask for?
2-Star Guardian Jinx
- Launched in 2016
- Price: 1820 Riot Points Obtainable in the shop front
- Chroma Colours: Mythic
One must consider the Star Guardian line of League of Legends skins when discussing magical girls. They are a direct reference to the popular anime genre. Inspired by the likes of Sailor Moon, Puella Magi Madoka, and the anime magical girl genre, the Star Guardian skins are a highly beloved line within the community and also serve as gorgeous reimagining’s of various League of Legends champions as high school students tasked with defending the planet against intergalactic adversaries.
Although the theme may not seem very Jinx-like, the description of her Star Guardian persona in the lore slots her in perfectly. The lore portrays Jinx as a cynic who simply “refuses to treat her powers as anything more than a plaything to serve her interests.” That is very much the essence of Jinx, and it’s a testament to the developers and writers of the Star Guardian lore that they can maintain that key part of her character, even when putting her into some alternate reality that supposedly doesn’t suit her.
The Star Guardian Jinx skin effectively represents the magical girl genre in terms of appearance. The skin boasts an abundance of sparkly, glittery, and explosive animations, perfectly paired with the champion. Not only that, but the skin also has some on-hit animations featuring two charming creatures, Kuro and Shiro, who boost the skin’s magical girl theme. If you love Jinx as a champion and are looking for one of her best skins to pick, there are multifarious reasons to go with this skin.
1-Firecracker Jinx
- Published in 2015
- Price: 1350 Riot Points
- Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Emerald, Golden Tiger, Obsidian, Pearl, and Rose Quartz
Firecracker Jinx must be Jinx’s best skin because it looks terrific, has some brilliant animations and effects, and is ideally suited for Jinx’s character.
Jinx’s The Chinese Lunar New Year marked the announcement of Jinx’s Firecracker skin. While the skin is ideal for her gig as a dragon-themed fireworks expert—a perfect profession for Jinx, really—the design does something even more impressive. It changes her remarkable array of weapons into dragon-themed contraptions that hurl fire and flames in ways a skin-tight suit can only disguise so much. Meanwhile, Jinx herself gussies it up for the occasion with half a dozen dragon-themed elements, including a dragon tattoo, lungs (or other crucial bits) made of green fire, and hair with a sleek dragon motif.
With this skin, Jinx is attired in a traditional Chinese dress, albeit with some Jinx-like alterations—such as a high slit that makes her dress leg-friendly—as well as some dress socks and shoes that make her look rather Chinese, if not entirely like a modern version of the “Three Obedience’s and Four Virtues.” With her braids wrapped up and a large flower in her hair, she is undoubtedly emitting Chinese traditional costume vibes.
Her literal explosions ignite Jinx’s explosive personality. She is an expert in all things explosive and has the ability to instruct an entire class on fireworks and firework safety. Her in-game skin, Firecracker, looks fantastic when she’s setting off her pyrotechnics to cause explosions, but this skin isn’t the most dazzling of her various looks. Indeed, her Legendary Star Guardian skin—its counterpart in Fire Emblem versus Firecracker—visually surpasses it significantly.
