14 Best Alistar Skins in League of Legends

Publish date: 2024-07-25

As Alistar is currently one of the oldest and most reliable support champions in League of Legends, it is an excellent time to look at his skins.

Alistar, the Minotaur, was released in 2009. Not only was he one of the first support champions released, but he was also one of the first initial champions of League of Legends. He is considered an engage champion, similar to Leona, Nautilus, etc.

But even after Leona, Alistar is considered a strong support pick for solo queue. The primary reason is Alistar’s survivability. Thanks to his passive and ultimate, it’s tough to kill Allister. Alistar’s passive-Triumphant Roar generates a stack for each displacement and stun. At 7 stacks, Alistar and his nearby ally gain heal. Alister’s R-Unbreakable Will cleanses him of all CC. Moreover, once activated, Alister gains reduced incoming damage for the next 7 seconds.

Now we’ll rank each of the Alistar skins released in League of Legends thus far. We will rate them by putting them from worst to best.

14. Black Alistar

Black Alistar is the rarest skin in League of Legends. The only way to buy this skin legitimately is via purchasing the Digital Collector’s Edition of League of Legends back in 2009. Because of this, very few people legitimately own this skin. However, it still doesn’t excuse the fact that this skin is one of the ugliest in terms of both splash art and in-game models. Moreover, it doesn’t include any VFX or additional effects.

13. Longhorn Alistar

Longhorn Alistar is a part of the beloved High Noon skin line. And even though the splash art looks cool. However, this skin is the disgusting-looking Alistar skin in-game. The model looks horrible. Moreover, it doesn’t include any VFX or additional effects.

12. Matador Alistar

Matador Alistar is the first standard or 975RP skin released for Alistar. This skin gives Alistar stylish attire and makes him a matador. Unfortunately, this skin does not include any VFX or effects and is more expensive than other better Alistar skins.

11. Golden Alistar

Golden Alistar is one of the cheapest skins in League of Legends, costing only 390RP. 2 other skins cost similarly, Assassin Master Yi and White Mage Veigar. Besides that, this skin is a glorified chroma more than anything. Even though this skin looks good, it doesn’t include any VFX or other additional effects.

10. Unchained Alistar

Just like Black Alistar, Unchained Alistar is also a rare unobtainable skin. But unlike Black Alistar, Unchained Alistar was a free skin. The way to earn this skin was by subscribing to Riot Game’s official YouTube channel from September 23, 2011, to August 1, 2018. Currently, there isn’t any way to earn this skin legitimately. As for the skin itself, it looks nice. Both splash art and in-game models are well-made. Sadly, this skin does not have any VFX or sound effects.

9. Infernal Alistar

Infernal Alistar reimagines Alistar as a devilish fire juggernaut. Both the skin and splash art look exceptional. Unfortunately, all the fantasies of being a fire juggernaut end when the players see that Infernal Alistar does not include any special VFX. A new particle effect for Q-Pulverize is the only additional effect on the skin.

8. Marauder Alistar

Marauder Alistar is a part of the Marauder skin line. Unfortunately, the Marauder skinline is one of the most forgettable in League of Legends. However, one of the only exceptions is Marauder Alistar. This skin gives Alistar cool and shiny armor. The only downside of this skin is that it doesn’t have any VFX or effects. But for 750 RP, you can’t complain.

7. Sweeper Alistar

During certain events, Riot releases new skins to commemorate said events. And one of those events is the FIFA World Cup. Once every 4 years, there is a World Cup for soccer. And one of the skins that Riot released to celebrate this event is Sweeper Alistar. The skin itself and the splash art look excellent. Overall for 750 RP, this skin is worth it. However, this skin does not have any VFX or other effects.

6. SKT T1 Alistar

Worlds is the most anticipated event of all of League of Legends. In this event, the best teams from around the world compete against each other. And for the winners of each Worlds tournament receive their in-game skin commemorating their win.

In 2015, SKT T1 won Worlds 2015 against KOO Tigers. And for their win, all of the players received their own skin. And one of those skins is SKT T1 Alistar. This skin commemorates Wolf’s winning performance as Alistar during the 2015 World Championship.

As for the skin itself, it looks clean. It also includes additional VFX and also has different recall animation. Unfortunately, Alistar’s dated models hold this skin down.

5. Conqueror Alistar

Conqueror Alistar is, by far, one of the best-looking Alistar skin. It was released by Riot to celebrate the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational in Asia. This skin comes with a unique VFX. Moreover, this skin also includes custom recall animation.

4. Hextech Alistar

Hextech skin line used to be a well-known mythic skin line. But unfortunately, in season 12, Riot retired the Hextech skin line for a seasonal thematic skin line. As a result, a total of 19 Hextech skins were released for League of Legends, and one of those is Hextech Alistar.

Even though Alistar doesn’t have legendary skin, he has Hextech Alistar, a mythical skin. The recall animation of this skin and the VFX are gorgeous. But unfortunately, because of Alistar’s dated models, this skin cannot be rated higher. However, this skin could probably be one of Alistar’s best if Alistar receives an ASU.

3. Blackfrost Alistar

Blackfrost Alistar is one of the coolest Alistar skins in the game. The skin turns Alistar into a minotaur-looking ice golem. This skin also includes six unique chromas. Moreover, this skin also comes with custom animations and VFX.

2. Lunar Beast Alistar

If you don’t enjoy Blackfrost Alistar, you can try out Lunar Beast Alistar. Lunar Beast Alistar is the most recent Alistar skin, released in 2021. It was released for Lunar New Year 2021. And since 2021 was the year of the ox, it was not surprising that Alistar received a Lunar skin. This skin includes seven different chromas and a unique recall animation. Moreover, this skin also has a custom VFX.

1. Moo Cow Alistar

Moo Cow Alistar is by far the best Alistar skin. And the primary reason is the bell taunt. So whenever you try to use this skin and taunt, Alistar will play a bell. Moreover, it also includes a recall animation, which is incredibly cute. In addition, this skin also includes new particles for all of Alistar’s abilities. And the best part is it’s only 975 RP. So it is a must-buy for any Alistar main.
