Skins have become an integral part of Dota over years. Hate them, love them but you simply can not ignore them! There are multitudes of skins for pretty much all the heroes in the game.

We have compiled a list of the best 15 Expensive Skins that look awesome and completely steal the show! These skins are guaranteed to make even your enemies compliment you and impress your friends the next time you skirmish with them.

15. Mace of Aeons

Faceless Void has various impressive and shiny items, all of his immortal items can be combined to make a shiny set! That being said, Void still has the Arcana pending.

This legendary Mace will set you back by $195 on the Steam Market. 

Why is Mace of Aeons so great?

14. Tales of the Ardalan Interdictor

Sniper may have various sets but none of them can be compared to this intergalactic Ardalan set.

  • Alternate ability icons
  • Custom ability sound effects
  • Alternate Sniper voice
  • Basically an arcana!
