Champion skin

* This article or section may require clean-up to meet Leagueoflegends Wikia's quality standards. Please improve it if you can.
* Instructions: This article should only document the game feature - a type of cosmetic.
* This article should not contain any comprehensive lists of skins.
	+ Lists should exist as separate *List of* pages.
		- This would tie into the Event / Skin Theme / Universe disambiguation issue/project.
* This article should contain information about what features a skin may have and what categories skins are grouped by.
	+ These sections may includes examples.
		- The cost of using skins as examples is less likely to pose a maintenance issue since skins aren't likely to stop being examples because of balance changes.

A **champion skin** refers to an alternate appearance ***(skin)*** and/or color scheme ***(chroma)*** for any given League of Legends champion.

Most ***skins*** can be purchased from the game client's Riot Store using  RP while some are only available for a limited time, with a very select few being unobtainable aside from the time they were first released.

Every skin comes with its own unique model and splash art, while some skins also give champions different particle effects, voice-overs, and sound effects (their price varies accordingly). Chroma only give a separate color palette to an existing skin or model.

***Chroma*** are purchased in the same fashion as skins and cost  290 each. This was implemented with the Chroma 2.0 update alongside annual sales and the flexible bundles. All chroma can be purchased in a bundled format at a reduced price with its corresponding champion or skin.

Twice a year, an Essence Emporium is held that allows players to purchase a selection of cosmetics with  Blue Essence, including both emporium-exclusive items as well as items that are otherwise only be available with  RP, such as  Chromas. The first *Essence Emporium* was held at the start of Season Eight. With the advent of the Essence Emporium, the previously bi-annual IP Chroma IP Sales was removed.

A chroma can be selected in champion select by clicking on the according color tile on the respective champion/skin thumbnail.

Some skins are released as ***variants*** of other skins. The first two variants released—Championship Riven 2016 Championship Riven 2016 and Urfwick Urfwick—were created in order to re-release previously limited edition skins in a way that preserved the prestige status of the original. Lancer Paragon Blitzcrank Lancer Paragon Blitzcrank and Lancer Rogue Blitzcrank Lancer Rogue Blitzcrank was the first instance of two skins being released concurrently that are considered variants of each other, and were priced such that you would receive a 30% discount if you already owned the other skin. Based on feedback, Riot has stated that the discount promotion on variant skins will be increased to 45% going forward (where applicable; special releases will not be discounted).

All current and old splash artwork can be seen here or on each champion's respective Skins subpage.

## Pricing

The bottom three tiers of skins—'Standard', 'Budget' and 'Timeworn'—were not officially distinguished in Riot's pricing schema and were referred to by the community *collectively* as "Standard" skins. The League of Legends Wiki created conjectural names for the lower tiers in 2017 to better describe the different tiers.

Riot eventually created names for all pricing tiers as part of their official documentation, which is now deprecated. The Riot tier names are shown in parenthesis.

1. ↑ This unfortunately means that the quality of a chroma will vary based on how an individual champion's spells are implemented. A champion like ไฟล์:MaokaiSquare.png Maokai (who's Sapling Toss Sapling Toss and Nature's Grasp Nature's Grasp are "units") has texture files for his spells that can be repainted by one of the Chroma artists, whereas ไฟล์:EzrealSquare.png Ezreal's spells are implemented using particle effects that cannot be retextured in the same way and thus the amount of work required to "simply recolour them" is beyond the scope of this price-tier.

Exceptions
* Primetime Draven Primetime Draven and Surprise Party Fiddlesticks Surprise Party Fiddlesticks were released as  Legendary skins "that are permanently on-sale for  975". They will appear in your collection as Legendary skins.
	+ Primetime Draven Primetime Draven features a unique VO but no other distinguishing traits, and would likely be priced at  975 otherwise.
* Draven Draven Draven Draven was "released at  5000 but is permanently on sale for  500". Only available each April Fools.
* Urf the Manatee Urf the Manatee is a limited Edition skin that was available for  5000, then on sale for  500 and  50. All proceeds went to charity.
* Urfwick Urfwick is only available on the Essence Emporium for  150,000.

Sales
A selection of skins, excluding  Legendary,  Mythic, and  Ultimate are put on sale every Monday at noon PT. The discount for these sales typically ranges from 50 to 60% off. Certain older skins may go on sale for lower discounts in the 25 to 40% range, despite not being limited or exclusive.

In addition to these sales, an Early Sale occurs within the first 4 or 6 months of a skin's release that discounts the skin one price tier (e.g.  Epic skins go on sale for  975). Early Sales will apply to  Legendary and  Ultimate skins, although Ultimate skins go on sale for  2450, a price-tier not used by other skins.

During the *Essence Emporium*, a selection of Chromas can be purchased individually for  2000 (the corresponding champion and/or skin must be purchased beforehand). During these sales, the selected Chromas are also reduced to  195. Chroma bundles remain  RP exclusive.
