With Viego being a pretty popular pick right now, it seems like a perfect time to look at all his skins.
Viego, The Ruined King, released in 2021, is one of the newer champions in League of Legends. He is a melee fighter who excels at short skirmishes and extended team fights. Viego is played primarily in the jungle but is also viable in the top lane.
Being a relatively new champion, he comes with a uniquely fun gameplay mechanic. After getting a takedown he can possess an enemy champion and use their abilities for a short period of time. This leads to some fun and whacky moments, especially in team fights.
Along with the new gameplay mechanic, Viego’s arrival into the rift has also brought some new changes to the lore of Runeterra. Viego was the main focal point of one of the biggest events in League of Legends, the Ruination. He was also featured in the Riot Forge game Ruined King: A League of Legends Story™. So it is safe to say that he is fairly popular.
Despite Viego’s massive popularity, Riot hasn’t given him many skins. He currently only has five skins. So today, we will look at all his skins to determine which ones are worthy of your RP.
5. Lunar Beast Viego
- Release Date: January 21, 2021
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 7
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.
4. Dissonance of Pentakill Viego
- Release Date: September 9, 2021
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 8
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.
