Akali has a wide variety of skins for you to choose from, and many of these skins will allow her to show the many aspects of a female ninja. From the present-day stealthy assassins to the traditional Japanese Noh theatre, this League of Legends Champion offers versatility in both professions and looks. I understand when you buy a skin for a champion, you want to buy the best skin, and to help you out, as I usually do, I’m going to introduce you to the best Akali skins.
I’ll be starting with the worst skins, but as the list goes down, as usual, you’ll find the best Akali skins that you can buy.
1. Infernal Akali
The Infernal Akali skin features Akali as a fiery demon. In this skin, she looks fierce and ready to wreak havoc on anyone who gets in her way. This skin may be simple, but it’s daring nonetheless and is something you’ll adore, especially if the fire is your favorite element.
Seeing Akali as she’s surrounded in flames is a sight to see. She glimmers as she’s surrounded by a circle of flames under the night sky. Her fiery red hair looks amazing as it flows behind her, and I must say, the horns are a nice touch.
With this skin, Akali’s battle animation is fantastic. Infernal Akali’s cloud of smoke has been adorned with golden eggs; her Kama is shiny gold, making it exciting to watch when she attacks.
Yes, Infernal Akali looks rather fabulous and fierce, but it isn’t breathtaking or astonishing like some of the other skins she has. The concept is there, but visually, I feel this skin is lacking.
Pros
- A good concept
- The horns give Akali a hellish touch
Cons
- The skin lacks visually
The price of this skin is 520 RP.

2. Stinger Akali
If you’re the type of person who loves fighting and action scenes, you’re going to enjoy the Stinger Akali skin. In the middle of a fight, Stinger Akali dashes forward with a look on her face that just screams “hatred.”
The overall concept of the Stinger Akali skin is cool because it makes Akali appear as if she’s emerging from a cloud of smoke. The attire she has on is sleek and has a lovely yellow-green hue to it. The yellow is displayed nicely during her attacks in a match.
This is a straightforward skin with Akali wearing a yellow/blue suit, and her hair is grey. The contrast of colors is done nicely and is what makes the suit stand out. Thanks to those bright tons, it’s easy to notice this champion. Also, Akali has some armor, which comes in handy for protecting her. Ker kama and kunair seem viciously designed with curved blades with a jagged decoration on the other side.
On Akali’s waist, she’s carrying some scrolls that have been well wrapped, and looking at these scrolls, they seem important.
On Akali’s back, she has a timid tattoo that is barely visible – the tattoo runs across her back from shoulder to shoulder, and from what I can tell, it doesn’t have a specific meaning and is just there for decorative purposes.
Assassin’s Mark makes the Kama’s blade glow in yellow. However, the rest of the ability and the auto-attacks remain green. The lack of color isn’t that big of a deal, but it is noticeable nonetheless. Changing the colors of the particles to yellow would have helped add some additional personality to the skin, but I understand this would have been difficult to do.
Overall, the Stinger Akali skin is a simple skin, but the change of clothes and the aggressively designed weapons are nice. If you like Akali’s looks, then this skin would be a suitable choice.
Pros
- New clothes
- The weapon design looks good
Cons
- No new animations
- No new particles
The price of this skin is 520 RP.
3. All-Star Akali
The concept of All-Star Akali has this League of Legends champion dressed up as an association football player. This is a modern, casual look that looks great on Akali. Akali looks good in her casual clothes, even if this is just a simple change. This is one of those unique legacy skins and was released back in 2010 during the World Cup. The skin doesn’t include any new animations or effects.
Pros
- It gives Akali a modern, casual look
Cons
- Simple design
- No new animations
- No new effects
The price of this skin is 975 RP.

4. Silverfang Akali
Put the SIlverfang Akali skin on and what you have is a fierce kunoichi that glows in the dark. When she’s wearing this skin, no one in their right mind will want to mess with Akali. Her posture is cool and collected, and her eyes are so intense, leaving you to feel as if you did something wrong.
The spine-chilling aura Silverfang Akali puts off is what makes this skin worth it. Unfortunately, Kama can’t be seen in this skin, but fortunately, there’s a shiny blue in gameplay …and that is more than enough to blind an enemy.
Pros
- Spine-chilling aura
- Intense stare
- New recall animation
Cons
- No new sounds
The price of this skin is 975 RP.
5. Nurse Akali
If you have ever wondered what Akali would look like as a nurse, then the Nurse Akali skin will give you that opportunity. The skin offers a nice touch of horror, which may be disturbing to some gamers, but the concept itself is stunning. Unfortunately, there are no new sounds or animations with this skin.
With the Nurse Akali skin, Akali is featured wearing the classic nurse costume – she’s simple yet seductive. On her Kama, there’s a hospital cross sign, adding a nice touch to her style.
Pros
- Akali dressed up as a nurse
Cons
- No new animations
- No new sounds
The price of this skin is 975 RP.

6. True Damage Akali
The True Damage Akali skin, in my opinion, is a good skin, but the price may be a bit steep for some of you. This skin has all of the features you’d expect a flawless skin to have, but it does lack some of the flairs you’d expect a high-profile skin to have. The champion model itself has a clumsy look to it. The effects on Akali’s abilities are nice, but there’s not really anything special about them. While this is a good skin, you would expect more out of a skin at a price point this high.
Pros
- Good concept
- New recall
- New particles
- New animations
Cons
- The price
The price of this skin is 1350 RP.
Final Word
Akali has quite a few skins that you can buy, and most of them are pretty eclectic as far as her clothes go. Silverfang Akali is an excellent choice as it has an excellent concept to it while staying generic. The particles do an excellent job at adding personality, but it goes without saying that the skin could offer much more than it does. However, it is still a good skin; just don’t buy it expecting more than it can deliver.
Nurse Akali is another good one, even if the skin has a superficial feel to it. Either way, you stack it; if you’re looking to add an Akali skin to your League of Legends skin collection, getting one from this list would be a great idea.
