As Illaoi is currently one of the strongest champions in the meta, now is the best time to look at all of her skins.
Illaoi, The Kraken Priestess, was released in 2015. And when she was released, the community loved not only her design but also her gameplay. She had a unique design and lore compared to other human champions of that time. Moreover, her gameplay was impressive as she had to micro-manage her tentacles.
When she was released, she was considerably strong as well. However, as Riot added newer and newer seasons to League of Legends, she was also phased out from the meta. But in the latest season, Riot added new tank items. All of the additional tank items and some reworked tank items were over-tuned. So, most tanks and juggernauts found their place in the meta again, including Illaoi.
Moreover, Illaoi is also prevalent outside of League of Legends as well. Riot Forge added her as one of the main playable characters in Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. She was also confirmed to be one of the playable fighters of Riot’s upcoming fighting game Project: L.

Before we dive deeper into the skin, let us look at the skin’s features first.
- New Model

Void Bringer Illaoi is the first skin released for Illaoi and the weakest skin in her arsenal. The positives of this skin are the concept itself and how her weapon looks. But compared with all the newer Illaoi skin, it isn’t good. The VFX and the recall animations are the worst offenders of this skin. Moreover, there are no chromas for this skin, which is also a letdown.
3. Resistance Illaoi
- Release Date: March 15, 2018
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 7 of them.

Like Void Bringer Illaoi, Resistance Illaoi also has a good concept, and the weapon looks fantastic. However, unlike Void Bringer Illaoi, Resistance Illaoi does other parts of the skins correctly. For example, Riot did the VFX and the SFX tremendously well. And at the time of this skin’s release, it was the best Illaoi skin. But unfortunately, Riot released many new Illaoi skins with better quality afterward. Because of it, Resistance Illaoi can’t be higher on the list.
2. Cosmic Invoker Illaoi
- Release Date: November 24, 2020
- Price: 1350 RP
- Chroma: 7 of them.

Likewise to Resistance Illaoi, when Cosmic Evoker Illaoi was released, it was the best skin Illaoi had to offer. This skin provides everything you want of Illaoi. This skin offers impressive visuals, particles, and animations. Moreover, the quality of the chromas is also outstanding. And if you are into space-themed skins, Space Evoker Illaoi is the skin for you.
1. Snow Moon Illaoi

Snow Moon Illaoi is the newest Illaoi skin released for League of Legends. Furthermore, it is the best skin released for Illaoi. The splash art is the best splash art Irelia has to offer. The SFX looks incredible. And the VFX is outstanding. Riot Games truly outdid themselves with Snow Moon Illaoi. And if you don’t like space-theme, then Snow Moon Illaoi is for you.
