With Viego being such a popular pick right now, it seems like a perfect time to look at all his skins.
Viego, The Ruined King, was released in League of Legends last year. He is a melee fighter who excels at short skirmishes and extended teamfights. Viego is played primarily in the jungle but is also viable in the top lane. Being a new champion, he comes with a uniquely fun gameplay mechanic and can possess an enemy champion after getting a takedown.
Viego’s arrival into the rift also bought new changes to the lore of Runeterra, along with the new gameplay mechanic. He was also the main focal point of the Ruination event and was featured in Riot’s new game Ruined King: A League of Legends Story™. So it is safe to say that Viego is quite a popular champion.
Despite Viego’s massive popularity, Riot hasn’t given him many skins. So here, we will look at his skins to determine if they are worthy of your RP.
How Many Viego Skins are There in 2023?
As of writing this article, Viego currently has only Four Skins in total. Although he only has a few skins, his skins are quite unique.
Before we go into more detail about the Viego skins, let’s first organize all of Viego’s skins using Riot’s skin tier system to understand their values better.

Best Viego Skins
Now we’ll rank each of the Viego skins released in League of Legends thus far. We will rate them by putting them from worst to best.
4. Lunar Beast Viego
- Release Date: January 21st, 2021
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: Lunar Beast Viego has Seven chromas, each costing 290 RP. The Lunar Beast Viego Chroma Ruby version can only be obtained by purchasing the Lunar Beast Viego Chroma Bundle. The Vitality chroma is event-only and is not currently purchasable.
Lunar Beast Viego was the first Viego skin to be released, and it hails from the Chinese New Year-themed Lunar Beast skin line. However, unlike most champions’ first skin, it does not include new voice lines. As far as Epic skins go, it is somewhat of a decent skin, and it is not the worst skin but not the best skin either.
3. Dissonance of Pentakill Viego
- Release Date: September 9th, 2021
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: Dissonance of Pentakill Viego has Eight chromas, each costing 290 RP. Dissonance of Pentakill Viego Ruby chroma can only be obtained by purchasing the Dissonance of Pentakill Viego Chroma Bundle.
Pentakill Viego, released in celebration of the newest Pentakill album Pentakill III: Lost Chapter.
The skin features a new model and a new VFX; the unique thing about this skin is the sound effects. Each of the abilities has a guitar riff effect, and some even have Pentakill music. Overall, a good skin if you are a fan of Pentakill.
2. King Viego
- Release Date: September 8th, 2022
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: King Viego has Eight chromas, each costing 290 RP. The King Viego chroma Ruby Version can only be obtained by purchasing the Pentakill Viego Chroma Bundle.
King Viego is the newest addition to Viego’s skin collection. The skin depicts Viego as the young king of Camavor before he became The Ruined King. Riot Games already had given us glimpses of uncorrupted Viego; now, they have fully shown us how he would have looked before being corrupted. The skin has new VFX, recall animation, and sound effects and is considered the second-best Viego skin.
1. EDG Viego
- Release Date: May 12th, 2022
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: EDG Viego has only One chroma, costing 290 RP. The EDG Viego Elite Chroma is a limited-time skin, and the chroma can only be purchased during the League of Legends World Championships.
EDG Viego was the chosen skin of BO ‘chenbowow’ Chen for winning the Worlds Championship in 2021.
This skin was released this year and is the best Viego skin. Viego, in this skin, dawns a black attire with silver armor pieces, which fits quite well with Viego. EDG Viego also comes with a new VFX, a new model, and a new recall animation with added EDG flair. It is a must-buy skin for any Viego Player.
