Azir is one of the hardest champions to play in League of Legends. But if you wanna start playing him, let’s help you choose the best skins to play the emperor in style.
Released in 2014, Azir was certainly before his time. His kit is one of the hardest to master in League. Also, he is very hard to balance. A minor tweak can send him to the top in the professional scene, or he can crush and burn. That’s why it has been almost a year since Riot touched his stats or abilities.
Playing Azir is like playing chess. Think of yourself as the king and your soldiers as your chess pieces. You must always position your soldiers strategically to keep yourself safe and kill the enemy. You are nothing without your soldiers. So let’s get you and your soldiers decked out in the best skins.
5. SKT T1 Azir
- Release Date: August 17, 2016
- Price: 975 RP (Legacy)
- Chroma: No
SKT T1 Azir was released in honor of SKT T1 winning the 2015 Worlds Championship. It has some unique animations and effects, as well as a new recall animation. The sand soldiers were made to look like SKT fans. There are some other cool aspects to this skin. But overall, SKT T1 Azir has to be my least favorite Azir skin.
4. Galactic Azir
- Release Date: September 15, 2014
- Price: 975 RP
- Chroma: No
Galactic Azir was released with the champion. The colors galactic purple and blue color look great on him. While it has some unique animations and effects, it is not much compared to his other skins. But for 975 RP, Galactic Azir is a decent purchase.
3. Gravelord Azir
- Release Date: December 01, 2015
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: No
Gravelord Azir was my favorite Azir skin for a while. The splash art looks gorgeous with this Skyrim vibe. And the animations and VFX/SFX effects are amazing. But I feel there was a lot more potential for this skin. The soldiers and animations could be a lot better.
2. Warring Kingdoms Azir
- Release Date: January 19, 2017
- Price: 1350 RP (Legacy)
- Chroma: No
Azir mains finally got something that wasn’t blue or purple with this skin. The color scheme of Warring Kingdoms Azir, with mainly red and a hint of green & golden, is a breath of fresh air. The emperor looks fantastic in this skin, and the animations are decent but nothing special.
1. Elderwood Azir
- Release Date: December 10, 2020
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: Yes (8 Different Chromas Available)
Elderwood Azir is the newest Azir skin and also the best one. The SFX/VFX effects of this skin, in particular, are outstanding. The animations also look smooth compared to his other skins. Judging only the character model and color scheme, I would put this skin in 2nd position. But the animations, effects, and chromas carried Elderwood Azir to the top position.
