Being one of the most popular champions in the game, Zed has a bunch of skins at his disposal. Let’s take a closer look at them.
Zed, The Master of Shadows, released in 2012, is one of League of Legends‘ most iconic assassins. Hailing from the region of Ionia, Zed is an absolutely vicious and brutal head of the Order of Shadow, an organization he founded to militarize Ionia’s magical and martial traditions to drive off Noxian invaders.
In-game Zed is an AD assassin who excels at small skirmishes and picking off priority targets. He is also a very mobile champion with the ability to blink and become untargetable with his ultimate ability, Death Mark. He is also a highly adaptable champion in terms of roles since he can be played in both the mid-lane and the jungle.
Having said that, Zed is presently in a very good state. So now is a great time to play him in Soloqueue and get some LP.
10. SKT T1 Zed
- Release Date: May 4th, 2014
- Price: 750 RP
- Chroma: 0
SKT T1 Zed is undoubtedly one of the worst worlds-themed skins ever created, as well as the worst Zed skin. The SKT T1 Zed skin includes no additional effects, a model that is inferior to the standard Zed model, and no new recall animation.
We strongly advise against purchasing the skin.
9. Shockblade Zed
- Release Date: November 13th, 2012
- Price: 975 RP
- Chroma: 6
Shockblade Zed currently has Six chromas, and each chroma costs 290RP.
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.
- New Model
- New Animations
- New Sound Effects
- New Visual Effects
For a skin released back in 2012, Shockblade Zed looks and feels surprisingly decent. It has some good visual and sound effects, but there are better Zed skins available. Aside from that, there isn’t much to say about this skin.
8. Death Sworn Zed
- Release Date: October 25th, 2017
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 0
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.
- New Model
- New Animations
- New Recall Animation
- New Sound Effects
- New Visual Effects
In terms of the splash art and model work, Death Sworn Zed is a pretty cool-looking skin. However, the skin has several issues with animation. First and foremost, his skin substitutes Zed’s famous shurikens with swords, while his mask feels less like Zed’s mask and more like Mordekaiser’s helmet. As a result, Death Sworn Zed ranks so low on the list.
7. PROJECT: Zed
- Release Date: September 7th, 2015
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 1
PROJECT: Zed currently has a single chroma called Reckoning, a limited-time chroma.

PROJECT: Zed was one of the first PROJECT skins to be released in League of Legends. It was also one of the best skins for Zed, but with newer and better skins arriving, PROJECT: Zed kind of fell off.
Having said that, PROJECT: Zed is still a solid skin.
6. PsyOps Zed
- Release Date: September 17th, 2020
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 8
PsyOps Zed currently has Eight chromas, and each chroma costs 290RP. The Ruby version of the PsyOps Zed chroma can be obtained by purchasing the PsyOps Zed chroma bundle. The Hunter version of the PsyOps Zed is a Limited-time chroma.

PsyOps Zed is a very solid-looking skin, but PsyOps Zed falls into the same problem that Death Sworn Zed does. The skin changes way too much about Zed. Furthermore, PsyOps Zed resembles Master Yi rather than Zed.
5. Prestige PROJECT: Zed

- Chroma: Special Pricing
Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.

Given the popularity of PROJECT: ZED, it’s no wonder Riot produced a Prestige edition of the game. The skin has a golden and white model instead of the base model’s typical black and red model. It also has updated animations and effects.
5. Immortal Journey Zed

Immortal Journey Zed is the newest skin added to Zed’s skin collection. Visually Immortal Journey Zed is pretty distinct from other Zed skins and its effects are pretty decent.
Overall, it’s a pretty decent skin.
4. Debonair Zed

Debonair Zed is one of the most appealing Zed skins. The skin puts on an immaculate white suit and a cold voice to match. When you go to the base, the skin also rolls out a crimson carpet for you. Furthermore, the skin has a JoJo reference in his voice lines, which is pretty awesome.
3. Championship Zed
- Release Date: September 25th, 2016
- Price: 975 RP
- Chroma: 1
Championship Zed has a single limited-time chroma.

Championship Zed is most likely one of Riot’s greatest Championship skins. It has great VFX/SFX, recall animation, and other aspects, and it just costs 975 RP. On the other hand, the skin has just one chroma, which is a disadvantage. Aside from that, it is a fantastic skin.
2. Empyrean Zed

Empyrean Zed currently has Nine chromas, and each chroma costs 290RP. The Ruby version of the Empyrean Zed chroma can be obtained by purchasing the Empyrean Zed chroma bundle. The Neon Flare version of the Empyrean Zed is a Limited-time chroma.

Zed’s finest skin is undoubtedly Galaxy Slayer Zed. It’s an iconic skin with a new voice, model animation, and effects. The skin also includes some really great emotes. The skin also makes a homage to the classic Faker versus Ryuu outplay moment.
Galaxy Slayer Zed is the greatest Zed skin you can get for Zed, and it is well worth the money.
