And considering how amazing and provocative her skin line is, you can already hear coin being dropped around the globe. But which skin truly deserves your hard-earned RP? That’s what I’ll try to answer as I take a look at all of Evelynn’s skins, ranking them on their overall design and price tag.
9. Safecracker Evelynn
Released: November 28th, 2014 Price: 750 RP Safecracker Evelynn has some really good ideas, but it somewhat fumbled when it comes to execution. Yes, having her Lashers be drills is a pretty cool and interesting design choice. But it also looks a bit weird. And yes, it was about time that someone put my girl in latex. But this skin can’t hold a candle to the others when it comes to sexiness. This also doesn’t offer any new particles or animations, while charging 750 RP, which is pretty expensive compared to the rest of her catalogue. I will say that I like the splash art quite a bit, if nothing else. So this skin had some fun ideas but it’s my least favorite of the bunch.
8. Masquerade Evelynn
Released: May 17th, 2010 Price: 520 RP Even though Masquerade Evelynn is on the lower side of the list, it truly does have some good qualities. Especially if we’re taking Evelynn’s lore into consideration, as this skin really pushes the envelope when talking about sexiness. She’s basically in lingerie, with only a purple mask explaining the skin’s name. It doesn’t offer any new particles or animations – but it doesn’t really have to either, as everything fits in well enough in terms of color schemes and the overall theme. In fact, the charm in this skin is probably the most realistic one out of the entire catalogue. Everything about this skin will get you demonetized, even just the splash art… but it isn’t nearly as unique as the others.
7. K/DA Evelynn
Released: November 3rd, 2018 Price: 1350 RP Okay, before you burn my house down let me explain. This skin is quite good on its own. However I see little point in getting it when you can just get K/DA ALL OUT for the same price. The regular K/DA skin does have some interesting features, like the best splash art I’ve ever seen, a pretty funky backing animation, and a really solid character model. But it’s missing some of the polish present in the later version. Your W still has your moan, which feels somewhat weird on this skin. And your dance is the same as your base skin – plus your Lashers don’t look all that unique. K/DA Evelynn does have some charm, and the Prestige edition is quite loved, but I simply see little point in getting it.
6. Tango Evelynn
Released: October 5th, 2010 Price: 520 RP Now this skin is very simple and very good. Although it offers very little in terms of new particles (namely just the first part of her Q), the character model is just a beauty. It rocks the femme fatale look so hard that you can tell she’s about to kill you just by looking at her. The design for her Lashers is a tad on the minimalistic side here. But even that works way better than it has any right to. I’m slightly salty that the skin doesn’t offer an actual tango dance emote… but for such a low price I can’t expect too much.
5. Shadow Evelynn
Released: November 20th, 2009 Price: 520 RP Disregard what I just said, because even 520 RP skins can go above and beyond. Even though the splash art here would have you believe this is just one of those old recolor skins, it actually has quite a bit to offer. The character model has a very strong underwater dark princess vibe, and the new particles support that aesthetic rather well. Everything is recolored into blue, the W heart even got a complete redesign to look more distinct, and just when you thought it was done, it even hits you with a new recall. Overall, this skin is definitely the best when it comes to a good bang for your buck. But the theme is slightly more “Atlantis” than it is “Succubus”, so I have to dock some points for that.
4. K/DA ALL OUT Evelynn
Released: October 29th, 2020 Price: 1350 RP I’m not the biggest K/DA fan. But even I have to admit that this skin is pretty dope. The spikes on the Lashers give the character model that little bit of edge that it needed, while the very robotic sound effects on your abilities make this skin stand out amongst the rest. But most importantly, your dance emote actually has music and a unique dance, which is the main draw of these types of skins if you ask me. I also have to comment on the fact that you get some nice shades for when you’re invisible – that’s just a really nice detail. This skin isn’t as suggestive as the others. But you can definitely still feel that Evelynn energy.
3. Sugar Rush Evelynn
Released: December 17th, 2019 Price: 1350 RP I have to say that this is definitely the most out of the box Evelynn skin – and I am oddly in love with it. Why does she look like a cat? Why does she have strawberries on her Lashers? What is Braum going to do when he catches her? Who knows and who cares! The character model is just so brilliantly distinct, with her bubblegum skin, chocolate leggings, and gloves and strawberry hair. The ability particles are just as unique, with my favorite being the W as the icon is now an appropriately melting heart. Even the sound effects are so unique that they could only really work for this skin line. Sugar Rush Evelynn is absolutely nuts – and I find it difficult to explain just how much I love it.
2. Blood Moon Evelynn
Released: May 8th, 2018 Price: 975 RP This skin feels like the exact opposite from the last one. I mean, it’s such an obvious choice that it was bound to be a success from the very beginning. The Blood Moon has consistently been good. And considering that Evelynn falls perfectly within the main theme, this skin just came out as a beauty. The character model here is just hauntingly beautiful, and the new particles are tweaked just enough to really sell the vibe while also staying true to the original design. Her invisible form is also brilliant, as it transforms her into a literal demon. And even her backing animation hits the nail on the head. All in all, this is by far one of the best skins. And if you aren’t prepared to pay a huge amount of RP then this is your best choice.
1. Coven Evelynn
Released: August 12th, 2021 Price: 1820 RP Not only does this skin come from the Coven skin line, which is consistently amazing, but it’s also the most expensive in Evelynn’s catalogue and it’s packed with features. So its victory was not surprising at all. When it comes to raw demonic energy, this skin beats out even Blood Moon with its snake-like Lashers, a creepy overlay for your passive, and the most haunting lines ever. You also get brand new emotes, with the dance being my favorite simply because of how terrifyingly occult it is. Plus there’s a new homeguard animation, a new death animation, and so much more. On top of all that, the skin is just a joy to play with – offering the most crisp and polished animations that you could ever want out of this champion. It simply delivers on every front and makes Evelynn feel more dangerous and seductive than she has ever been before.
