Sivir is a champion that has reigned on the bot lane since the very release of League of Legends. Her base appearance bears many similarities with Wonder Woman.
However, with thirteen skins in total, Sivir has been transformed into different personas over the years. But which skin is the best one in this competitive game?
When talking about the best visually looking skin, everyone’s opinion is subjective. This is why I’ve also considered other things while making this list.
These include: how smooth the base attack animation is, how easy it is to land skill shots, if the skin is pay-to-win, etc.
So, here are all the Sivir skins ranked from worst to best.
All Sivir Skins in League of Legends Ranked
13. Bandit Sivir
- Release Date: 21.03.2011
- Price: 750RP
- Loot: 450 Orange Essence
Bandit Sivir, just like most of the skins back in 2011, isn’t as flashy and smooth as the skins today. The colors that were used for the entire outfit are very dull and don’t really stand out on the Summoner’s Rift.
Also, Sivir’s abilities are pretty hard to see here, as they almost blend into the surroundings. However, chances are, if Bandit Sivir’s Q isn’t visible for you, it probably won’t be visible for the enemy players either.
This might work in your favor if you are an experienced Sivir player. So, could Bandit Sivir be a pay-to-win skin after all?
In my opinion, Bandit Sivir is long overdue for a rework.
If you check out her 3D model, or just zoom in in-game, you’ll notice that there’s something very wrong with her neck. In fact, most Sivir skins pre-2015 share this problem.
I personally would refrain from playing with this skin as a new-ish player. It doesn’t offer much visibility when it comes to hitting skill shots, and the colors of her outfit aren’t very flattering either.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Skill shot abilities are harder to see at lower graphics | Skill shot abilities are difficult to see for players |
| No chromas |

12. Spectacular Sivir
- Release Date: 08.06.2010
- Price: 975RP
- Loot: 675 Orange Essence
Spectacular Sivir is the very second skin for Sivir, and as such has many outdated aspects, unfortunately.
The design team was obviously inspired by Wonder Woman when they were creating this skin. And, honestly, I can’t blame them.
Although this is considered to be the hottest Sivir skin in the game, its in-game model is begging for a rework.
Spectacular Sivir’s weapon doesn’t really stand out, either. This is understandable since the skin is over ten years old.
But, if you chose to play as Spectacular Sivir, you probably didn’t care about the weapon’s look in the first place, did you?
Although I don’t particularly dislike this skin, there is one thing that I find annoying. And that is how much shinier and different this skin looks on the splash art.
Let me tell you one thing, if that’s how the skin looked in-game, it certainly wouldn’t find itself on the 12. place on this list.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Play Sivir dressed as (a second hand) Wonder Woman | Big difference between splash art and actual skin |
| Lack of originality | |
| No Chromas |

11. Warden Sivir
- Release Date: 17.02.2015
- Price: 750RP
- Loot: 450 Orange Essence
Warden Sivir is just one more of those skins with a completely new model, but very boring colors and animations.
Sure, the full-body armor is refreshing, as we usually see Sivir dressed in outfits that reveal a lot of skin. Nonetheless, neither the armor nor the abilities stand out in any peculiar way.
For instance, I feel that the visibility of the skin’s abilities plays a massive role in your gameplay. Especially for a marksman such as Sivir that doesn’t only rely on her basic attacks for the damage output.
In fact, with the correct runes, her Q ability might deal much more damage than her basic attacks ever will.
Although Warden Sivir’s Q might not look as good, her W is pretty decent. The blade’s animation is larger and smoother, which are two important points.
I’m going to be honest with you, Warden Sivir is my least favorite Sivir skin. There is just so much grayness which makes the skin very dull in my opinion.
I mean, just look at the newer Warden skins! Don’t they just make you think: now that’s what a warden skin should look like?
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| New full-body armor | Skill shot abilities lack visibility |
| Improved W animation | No Chromas |

10. Warrior Princess Sivir
- Release Date: 27.04.2010
- Price: 520RP
- Loot: 220 Orange Essence
Warrior Princess Sivir probably has the worst splash art in the entire game. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against anime.
But, the truth is, this anime splash art doesn’t belong with the rest and definitely doesn’t look like Sivir at all.
With that being said, the “Xena: The Warrior Princess” inspired skin is actually pretty decent, considering it’s the very first skin for Sivir.
I like how the crossblade is in fact replaced by a completely different weapon, called a chakram.
In-game, the skin is neither here nor there. It doesn’t make your in-game experience better skill-shot-wise, but it doesn’t make it worse either.
But, with a price of 520RP, Warrior Princess Sivir is worth to be considered for purchasing.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Very affordable skin | Skill shot abilities are difficult to see |
| No chromas |

9. Huntress Sivir
- Release Date: 07.02.2011
- Price: 975RP
- Loot: Not eligible
Huntress Sivir is a very nice skin to play with for two reasons. First, this is the only skin that uses a boomerang as a weapon. And second, have you seen Huntress Sivir’s in-game model?! That’s one sexy skin for sure.
Jokes aside, the Q ability for this skin is very precise, as its width is a great indicator of the proportion of the skill shot.
However, the auto-attack, as well as Sivir’s W aren’t as visible here. This is due to the fact that Sivir’s boomerang is too tiny to even be noticed while there’s so much going on on the Rift.
One thing that is particularly interesting about this skin, is how it can be inquired. Many people don’t know this, but you can actually purchase Huntress Sivir directly from the store in LoL’s client.
You can find out how to do that here.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Nice and precise Q animation | Unnoticeable W and AA animation |
| VERY revealing outfit |

8. Victorious Sivir
- Release Date: 12.11.2015
- Price: Special pricing
- Loot: Not eligible
Victorious Sivir was the reward for anyone who finished in Gold or higher in the season of 2015. And, just like the rest of the Victorious skins, in this one, the gold and blue/purple colors prevail.
As for the in-game improvements, there really isn’t much to add. The Q and W animations are nice and satisfactory at best but don’t expect them to improve your gameplay in any way.
Victorious Sivir doesn’t have any special features or animations of her abilities. In fact, her Q ability, Boomerang Blade, even shares some similarities with some of her previous skins.
In my opinion, this skin doesn’t feel Victorious when playing with it at all. I believe they could have done much better if they played a bit more with the colors, especially with the golden accents.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Slightly improved animations for the abilities | Too simple for a Victorious skin |
| Limited-time free skin for Gold+ players |

7. Snowstorm Sivir
- Release Date: 19.12.2013
- Price: 975RP
- Loot: 675 Orange Essence
Snowstorm is a very pretty seasonal skin for Sivir. The giant snowflake that she uses as a weapon is as clear and sharp as it can be.
Actually, this is probably the first released skin that has a very distinguishable animation for her Q.
Although the design team went in the right direction with the look of her weapon, they kind of didn’t deliver on her outfit as well.
Even the one chroma that was added later doesn’t completely make up for the unsatisfactory choice of clothing pieces.
However, I enjoy the bright colors of the abilities on Snowstorm Sivir. Her outfit could use some rework, though, since it obviously falls short of the rest of the skin.
In my opinion, a white or bright blue winter outfit would go much better with the rest of the theme.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Very clear Q animation | The outfit looks too boring |
| An optional but improved chroma |

6. PAX & Neo PAX Sivir
- Release Date: 21.03.2011 and 30.08.2017
- Price: Special Pricing
- Loot: Not eligible
PAX and Neo PAX Sivir are some of the rarest skins in League of Legends. You can also say that PAX Sivir was a skin ahead of its time, with the futuristic suit and weapon, as well as the shiny neon outlines.
These features sure make these two skins stand out on the Rift, and you might find them to be very immersive. Gameplay-wise, both skins do not interfere with how well you play the champion.
The animations of the Q and W abilities are nice and smooth, but there is not much more to it.
Although PAX and Neo PAX are categorized as two separate skins, there’s not a big difference between them.
In any case, many have said that the original one is better, and I would definitely agree.
Both of these skins were available only for a limited amount of time. You can find more details about whether you are eligible to get them by clicking here!
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Nice and smooth Q and W animations | Next to impossible to obtain skin(s) |
| Awesome futuristic suit |

5. Blood Moon Sivir
- Release Date: 10.01.2019
- Price: 1350 RP
- Loot: 1050 Orange Essence
It pains me greatly to put Blood Moon Sivir on the fifth spot of this list since I really love every aspect of it.
This skin is so spooky and awesome at the same time, and will totally give you the badass vibes when you play with it.
Blood Moon Sivir offers a complete change to all of her abilities, including her passive’s animation. The main theme is so well captured with the bright and moody red tones.
Her Q and W abilities are brighter and more colorful, as opposed to the moodiness of the entire skin. However, they complement her outfit perfectly.
But, when it comes to in-game benefits, the rest of the skins on this list are definitely stronger in that department.
All in all, this is a great skin, and although it found itself in the fourth place on this list, for me it’s actually a tie between Blood Moon, Odyssey, and Cafe Cuties Sivir.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Flashy and visible Q animation | None |
| Huge upgrade to the W ability | |
| Feels very powerful when playing |

4. Odyssey Sivir
- Release Date: 15.10.2020
- Price: 1350 RP
- Loot: 1050 Orange Essence
Odyssey Sivir obviously has the most amazing color palette of all. Starting from her colorful outfit all the way to her weapon, this skin delivers on all fronts.
Also, the Q and W abilities are very aesthetically pleasing. The weapon’s amazing combination of hot pink and orange makes the skill shots much easier to hit.
There is thus a big possibility that Odyssey Sivir may improve your gameplay experience. And there are not too many skins for this champion that I could say the same about.
So, I believe this skin deserves its third place on this list. It just makes you wanna stare at the pretty colors for hours!
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Very aesthetic and clear Q and W animation | None |
| Improved visibility and gameplay | |
| Multiple chromas |

3. Solar Eclipse Sivir
- Release Date: 28.04.2022
- Price: 1820 RP
- Loot: 1520 Orange Essence
Solar Eclipse Sivir is an amazing new addition to the fearless marksman, especially when it comes to her abilities’ animations.
For instance, Sivir’s ultimate ability so far has had mediocre animations for all of her skins, with some using the same old (and boring!) base animation of her original skin.
Solar Eclipse Sivir, however, has a brand new R animation that blazes and brightens up the entire champion, her weapon, and her surroundings. Her other abilities have pretty bright and distinctive animations, too.
The one downside about this legendary skin is, well, that it doesn’t feel like a legendary skin. Her recall animation looks too simple and doesn’t even come close to other modern legendary recall animations.
The fact that the glowing look Sivir gets from her ultimate dissapears when the duration ends is another sad part.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| New blazing and bright animation for Sivir’s R | Legendary skin that doesn’t fulfill the “Legendary” criterium |
| New voice | |
| Six great chromas |
2. Cafe Cuties Sivir
- Release Date: 02.12.2021
- Price: 1350 RP
- Loot: 1050 Orange Essence
Cafe Cuties Sivir is a very lovely skin that brings a whole new aspect to the Blade Mistress. This skin is the perfect combination between Disney and anime with all the cute animations and details.
Furthermore, her auto-attacks are so bright and big, it almost feels like you’re using abilities instead.
The details of the Q ability are so vivid and dazzling too. Actually, all of the Cafe Cuties Sivir’s abilities are very flashy, which is so refreshing to see!
Since this skin is so much different from the rest, it almost seems as if you’re playing not playing with Sivir. Especially her spell shield looks completely different from what we are used to seeing.
I’m probably being such a girl by putting this skin in the second place, but I can’t help it. Before Cafe Cuties, I was used to seeing Sivir with her badass personality.
However, this skin shows us her cute side instead and I love it exactly because of that.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Very radiant and dazzling animations for all abilities | None |
| Improved visibility and | |
| Different wonderful chromas to choose from |

1. Pizza Delivery Sivir
- Release Date: 29.03.2018
- Price: 1350RP
- Loot: 1050 Orange Essence
Pizza Delivery Sivir is one of those skins you’re either going to love or hate, but you can’t ignore the geniousness and humor behind it.
With three different toppings for the pizza per chroma, Pizza Delivery Sivir has undoubtedly the best Q animation. Those delicious pizzas are so flashy and large, so you can clearly see where your skill shot is headed.
I bet you will miss a lot fewer Qs if you play with this skin. I mean, I sure wouldn’t be running away from a giant pizza flying my way…
Also, the auto-attack’s animation is a flying pizza slice that splashes cheese and toppings on each hit. This also makes the Bouncing Blade, or Sivir’s W, feel so much more satisfying!
What I also love about this skin, is how they changed the animation of Sivir’s E and R, so it goes well with the pizza theme.
Pizza Delivery is overall an amazing skin for Sivir. It’s colorful, bright, and will for sure put you in a good mood once you see those pizzas flying all over the place.
The chromas are also on point, with three different pizza toppings for everyone’s taste.
…By the way, is anyone else hungry..?
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
| Very accurate Q ability | It might make you crave pizza |
| Bright and colorful animations | |
| Fun chromas with different pizza toppings |

Conclusion
As you can see, newer usually means better when it comes to Sivir’s skins. There is an obvious gap that the skins created pre-2018 just can’t fill.
And although there are plenty of different personas to choose from for this marksman, more than half of them won’t improve your gameplay and/or don’t feel powerful enough to play with.
I believe that any skin created in 2018 and on is a must-have for serious Sivir players.
Also, choosing a newer skin might bring you more dynamic in your games and might even improve your aim in the long run.
