Here are the top five best Jinx skins in League of Legends that you can buy from the store.

Riot Games treats its League of Legends player base with a wide range of skins and cosmetics to choose from often. The company uses skins to tap into different themes, visual effects, and lore to help players visualize a champion’s universe within the game. Depending on the animation and effects of the skin, they are usually categorized into Epic, Legendary, or Prestige skins. However, it is evident that Riot Games rolls out more skins for champions like Lux, Katarina, Ezreal, Ahri, and a few others more often than it does for other champions in the game. However, Jinx enjoys a middle ground where she gets new skins in healthy, regular intervals. 

Currently, Jinx has eleven skins in League of Legends including a Prestige edition version. Here are the top five best Jinx skins that you can get your hands on in-game. Remember that this list is subjective and you might have different preferences. This list features four Epic skins and one Legendary one for Jinx.


Best Jinx skins that you can buy in League of Legends

Here are the five best Jinx skins that you should consider buying in-game. Some of them have unique voice lines and animations, adding to her complex fantasy.

Odyssey Jinx

Price: 1350 RP [Riot Points]

Tier: Epic skin

The Odyssey Jinx skin was released in 2018 and is a part of the Odyssey alternate universe [AU] set in the cosmos. This skinline’s theme was heavily inspired by Borderlands and Guardians of the Galaxy. Every champion featured in this skinline represents influential individuals of a vast galactic civilization. In this universe, Jinx is known for her highly unstable weaponry and is also the Morning Star (ship) crew’s pilot. “Her previous job as a mining explosives technician resulted in a lot of collateral damage, and a thoroughly justified dismissal,” notes the skin’s lore.

Odyssey Jinx has a new model and has five different Chromas to choose from. Additionally, it has new visual effects, new animations, and also unique sound effects. Given that it is an Epic skin, the Odyssey Jinx skin is always up for grabs in the in-game store.


Heartseeker Jinx

Price: 1350 RP

Tier: Epic skin

The Heartseeker Jinx skin description says, “Love is a battlefield, and Jinx comes prepared! Armed with her beloved companion Fishbones, she's ready to break hearts—and bones. But if she likes you enough, she's prepared to play nice. Maybe. Probably not.”

The skin falls under the Epic skin tier again and can be bought from the store anytime. The Heartseeker Jinx is part of the Heartseeker or Valentine’s-themed cosmetic line that was released in 2020. The skin has a new model, textures, and animations and also has new skill particles and animations. The Heartseeker Jinx boasts a new recall animation and unique voiceovers.


Project Jinx

Project Jinx

Price: 1350 RP

Tier: Epic skin

The Project skinline is one of the most famous ones in League of Legends which is set in a futuristic AU. The theme of the skinline is that it is set in the city of a Cyberpunk world and champions are humans who are augmented by cybernetic enhancements and mechanized artificial intelligence. The lore says that Jinx was a volunteer for the Project conversion but she suffered a memory core scramble due to a critical power failure. This left her a psychopath driven by the manic voices in her head. The Project Jinx can be bought from the store at any time. 

Some of the unique aspects of the skin are as follows:

  • New model and textures. Players love Jinx’s gun and hair in this skin.

  • The skin has a ton of purple polygons as part of new visual effects.

  • Boasts a unique recall animation and futuristic sound effects.


Battle Cat Jinx

Jinx is a hyper carry in League of Legends and is very strong in the late game.

Price: 1350 RP

Tier: Epic skin

The Battle Cat Jinx is her most recent skin which was released in 2022. One of the most anticipated skin lines for Season 12 was the Anima Squad cosmetics.  The Anima Squad universe sports sleek, high-tech armor, powerful warriors, and cute animals. Apart from the Epic skin, the Battle Cat Jinx skin also has a Prestige Edition. Battle Cat Jinx has a new model, textures, and animations, including brand-new skill particles and animations. Some of the other highlights of this skin are its unique recall animation and sound effects.


Star Guardian Jinx

Star Guardian Jinx

Price: 1820 RP

Tier: Legendary skin

The Star Guardian universe is one of the most sought-after themes in the games with fans and players absolutely loving the skinline. Set in a parallel universe, this theme follows high school students who choose to become cosmic protectors and battle enemies. The Star Guardian Jinx is a Legendary skin in League of Legends which was released in 2016. This Jinx skin is a reference to the “magic girl” genre of anime and Riot Games drew inspiration from Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, and some other anime and mangas. Her usual guns are replaced by her magical pets Shiro Shiro and Kuro Kuro, who embody Jinx's ferocious and troubled dual personality. 

Some of the highlights of this skin are:

  • New model and textures for Jinx and her weapons
