Although Brand is not very popular right now, he is a fun champion to play and has some unique skins for you to burn your enemies in style.
Once a terror in the mid-lane, Brand is now mostly played as a support. You can still play him in mid, but he is pretty weak compared to other champions. But as a support, Brand shines the most. Being able to poke and chip away at opponents is fun. Also, if you can land your combos, you can pretty much solo win the bot lane.
He is solid in team fights as his Ult spreads from champion to champion. So if you are in low elo and struggling to gain rank, Brand can help you carry games even from a support position. But of course, you will want to get some skins to add that extra bit of fear into your opponents. And I’m here to help you choose the best skin for Brand.
How Many Brand Skins are There in 2022?
Brand has a total of 10 skins if you count the prestige edition as a separate skin. He has some decent skins, but most of them can feel a bit meh. Brand’s straightforward kit might be a reason for his skins feeling underwhelming.

Now that all the skins are ranked, let’s talk about each skin in detail.
LoL Best Brand Skins
D-Tier (Bad)
Apocalyptic Brand
- Release Date: April 12, 2011
- Price: 750 RP
- Chroma: No
Apocalyptic Brand is the worst Brand skin. The skin is cheap at 750RP but still not worth the money. It looks pretty much the same as the classic skin with a hint of metal armor. As expected, Apocalyptic Brand doesn’t come with any new animations or effects.
Vandal Brand
- Release Date: April 12, 2011
- Price: 520 RP (Legacy)
- Chroma: No
If you are looking for a cheap skin to have a different character model, Vandal Brand is far better than Apocalyptic Brand. For 520 RP, you only get a new in-game model. But it doesn’t look half bad with a spiky jacket and a skull-like head. The skin gives off a Ghost Rider vibe.
C-Tier (Not Recommended)
Cryocore Brand
- Release Date: October 02, 2011
- Price: 975 RP
- Chroma: No
Crycore Brand is the definition of mediocre skins. Although some new SFX/VFX are added to the skin, they don’t justify spending 975 RP for this skin. The blue flame looks cool, but you can get that from newer skins with better detail and animations.
B-Tier (Average)
Spirit Fire Brand
- Release Date: October 21, 2015
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: No
Spirit Fire Brand is a decent skin considering it is almost seven years old. The splash art is fantastic. This skin also has new animations and effects. But among the better Brand skins, Spirit Fire Brand might be the worst one. There are more recent skins for the same price that looks a lot better.
Debonair Brand
- Release Date: December 09, 2021
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: Yes (9 different chromas available)
I usually rank newer skins higher because of how superior they are when it comes to animations and effects. But Debonair Brand was a massive letdown for me. The Splash Art looks gorgeous with Brand all suited up. But in-game, he has that same slouched-down posture that doesn’t go with the attire. Though the animations and effects look great, the character model ruins the immersion.
A-Tier (Good)
Debonair Brand Prestige Edition
- Release Date: December 09, 2021
- Price: Mythic Skin (125 ME at first unvault)
- Chroma: Yes (9 Different Chromas Available)
There is nothing much to say about the Prestige Debonair Brand. It is a rare skin that looks a little better than Debonair Brand. But has the same problem with its character model. It will also cost you a lot of Mythic Essence to unlock. Thinking about it, I could’ve swapped Prestige Debonair Brand with the base Debonair Brand skin in the tier list.
Battle Boss Brand
- Release Date: August 08, 2017
- Price: 1350 RP
Battle Boss Brand might be the most underwhelming arcade-type skin in League of Legends. But still, it is a great skin with excellent animations and sound effects. The Blue color flame looks impressive, but we got a lot of those so far.
Arclight Brand
- Release Date: March 07, 2019
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: Yes (4 Different Chromas Available)
Arclight Brand is a great skin overall. It comes with all the bells and whistles. And the recall animation is also great. Still, for a high price of 1350 RP, I would suggest going for Eternal Dragon Brand. Having said that, if you like the look of the Arclight skin line, this is a good pickup.
S-Tier (Best)
Eternal Dragon Brand
- Release Date: October 01, 2020
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: Yes (9 Different Chromas Available)
Eternal Dragon Brand is one of the best Brand skins available. It is a relatively new skin, so the animations and effects are very detailed. Also, the chromas make this skin even better. Don’t like the purple color? Try a different one from all the chromas. It is worth the money.
Zombie Brand
- Release Date: October 26, 2012
- Price: 1820 RP (Legacy)
- Chroma: No
You already knew Zombie Brand would be at the top. This is a very old skin but stood the test of time. The concept is excellent, and the execution is perfect. The character model looks great, and all the animations make it feel like you are actually playing a zombie. But I certainly wouldn’t mind if Riot decided to polish this skin a bit. A minor visual update can push Zombie Brand to be one of the best skins in League of Legends.
