Summary
Caitlynis one of the most popular champions inLeague of Legends,thanks to her extensive number of skins and heavy involvement in theiconic Netflix showArcane. The Sheriff of Piltover is best known for being anearly-game bot lane bullywho dominates opponents with her superior range.
Caitlyn has received 17 skinsin the 13 years that she has been part ofLeague of Legends.With a wide variety of cosmetics to choose from, it is expected that some of her skins will stand out from the rest.
Prestige variants of Arcade and Arcane Commander will not be ranked in this list. This list also contains mild spoilers for season two ofArcane.
16Resistance Caitlyn
Classic Skin
Resistance Caitlynis one of the two cheapest skins players can buy for the Sheriff of Piltover. Due to its low price, it is undeniably the worst skin for her as it adds nothing new to her VFX and SFX.
The only change comes in the form of a different attire and gun, which isn’t anything extraordinary. There is not a lot to say about this skin as it is little more than a slightly altered version of her default outfit.
15Sheriff Caitlyn
Sheriff Caitlynalso comes in at a price of 520 RP, which means there are no unique audio or visual effects. The main reason it ranks higher than Resistance is that the theme of this skin suits Caitlyn quite well.
Apart from this, there isn’t anything noteworthy to talk about with this skin, which has clearly not stood the test of time when it comes to the character’s overall design.
14Arctic Warfare Caitlyn
Deluxe Skin
Arctic Warfareis the only 750RP skin Caitlyn has inLeague of Legends. Similar to the previous two entries, this skin doesn’t boast any new visual and sound effects for her abilities.
However, the auto attacks feel a bit smoother with this skin thanks to its well-designed gun. This winter-themed outfit is also a great look for Caitlyn. Unfortunately, this skin can’t rank any higher than this spot as it doesn’t have much else apart from said features.
13Officer Caitlyn
Standard Skin
Officer Caitlynis the first entry on this list with slightly different SFX and VFX. These changes are very minimal, such as her bullets changing color and a doughnut replacing a cupcake in her traps.
This is one of Caitlyn’s most on-brand skins inLeague of Legendsas it captures her role as a keeper of law brilliantly. This skin could have definitely ranked higher if it had a few more unique things going for it.
12Safari Caitlyn
Safariis an interesting yet welcome addition to the plethora of skins Caitlyn has. It is a theme that matches Caitlyn pretty well considering she is a sharpshooter. The skin itself has a couple of changes that make it stand out just a tiny bit.
Most of the abilities now have a green and yellow color palette to go with the skin’s safari theme. It is a smooth skin for a cheap price, and is often used by some of the most terrifying Caitlyn mains that players might encounter in solo queue.
11Headhunter Caitlyn
Headhunteris one of Caitlyn’s heaviest-hitting skins in terms of SFX and VFX. The bright red color added to all of her abilities combined with a menacing gun makes Caitlyn feel like a lethal weapon.
However, the sound effects are quite hit-and-miss and can feel clunky at times. The metallic feel of this skin makes it divisive in terms of its popularity. Nonetheless, it is a solid Caitlyn skin for players who are on a budget.
10Lunar Wraith Caitlyn
Epic Skin
Lunar Wraithhas the unfortunate honor of being Caitlyn’s worst epic skin. This is not a knock on Lunar Wraith, as it is a genuinely decent skin for its price. It sports Caitlyn in a skin universe that is not akin to her, which is a nice change in tone.
The skin also has decent audio and visual effects. However, it just falls flat compared to the rest of her epic skins.
9Arcane Caitlyn
The firstArcane-themedskin for Caitlyn, released beforethe conclusion of Season 1of the Netflix series, is one of her smoothest skins and stands out among the skins that do not have major VFX and SFX changes.
Caitlyn’s simple outfit, crisp auto-attacks, and lightweight feel make this skin a popular choice for a lot of players. The only drawback is that it can be acquired purely through chests and cannot be bought from the store.
8Arcade Caitlyn
ArcadeCaitlyn is a colorful skin with 8-bit sound effects and visuals on her abilities. This fits her theme as an ace sniper very well in this particular skin universe. The primary problem with this skin is the gun and the traps.
The sound effects and figure of the gun lessen the impact of her auto-attacks, and make it feel a bit wonky, while most of her other skins have clean and crisp auto-attacks. The sound effects can also get a bit annoying at times. The traps on this skin are much more visible, which makes it a detriment in very rare scenarios. Overall, it is a decent skin with catchy VFX that can appeal to gamers who love the arcade theme.
7Pool Party Caitlyn
Pool Partyis one of the most popular skin universes inLeague of Legends,and Caitlyn’s skin is no exception. It is a fundamentally great skin with watery sound effects on her abilities that are executed to perfection.
It is also a nice change of character for Caitlyn, as she is often featured in skin universes where she has to maintain her stoic and focused personality. The relaxed vibe of Pool Party, paired with the wonderful chromas, SFX, and VFX, makes it a great option for players looking to grab a 1350RP Caitlyn skin.
