Updated:

23 Aug 2022

Alistar, the Minotaur is a popular support champion in League of Legends. Being one of the oldest in the game, he has a remarkable 14 skins. Out of these 5 are readily available, 6 are Legacy skins and 3 are rare and limited skins. Here we are going to rank all of them from worst to best based on 4 attributes. General appearance, ability animations, SFX and recall animation. We will also tell you the methods on how to acquire each one of these skins.

Available Skins:

5. Golden Alistar

Golden Alistar Skin Spotlight

Golden Alistar is the cheapest of Alistar’s skins. It is essentially a chroma of base Alistar that is of Golden color. There are no animations, new particles or SFX and we can’t complain because the price is so low. This skin is recommended if you’re on a budget and want to change Alistar’s look slightly.

Skin Rating:

General appearance: 6/10
Ability animations: 5/10
SFX: 5/10
Recall animation: 5/10
Price factor: 1/1
Total: 22

The skin is available for 390 RP

4. Infernal Alistar

Infernal Alistar Skin Spotlight

Infernal Alistar had a lot of potential to live up to the Infernal skin-line but it doesn’t just because it is a very old skin. The only animation that has changed is for
“Pulverize” the rest remains the same. Alistar’s model has been given a devilish look. This could’ve been a very good epic skin just like infernal Shen and infernal Akali but sadly it was released at a time when not much work was put into skins.

Skin rating:

General appearance: 6/10
Ability animations: 6/10
SFX: 5/10
Recall animation: 5/10
Total: 22

The skin is available for 975 RP.

3. Marauder Alistar

Marauder Alistar Skin Spotlight

Like all Marauder skins, the colours are fantastic and Alistar looks like he has a tough exoskeleton. There are no new animations, particles or sound effects. The recall animation is also the same.

Skin rating

General appearance: 8/10
Ability animations: 5/10
SFX: 5/10
Recall animation: 5/10
Total: 23

The skin is available for 750 RP.

2. Blackfrost Alistar

Blackfrost Alistar Skin Spotlight

Blackfrost Alistar puts Alistar in the Blackfrost theme with him falling prey to an eerie corruption. The skin looks very cool (no pun intended) and the crystalline frozen look gives Alistar an awesome new model. Being an epic skin, the ability animations have been changed, there are new particles, sound effects and a new recall animation.

Skin rating:

General appearance: 8/10
Ability animations: 8/10
SFX: 8/10
Recall animation: 9/10
Total: 33

The skin is available for 1350 RP.

1. Moo Cow Alistar

Moo Cow Alistar Skin Spotlight

Moo Cow Alistar gives you the features of Legendary skins at a regular skin’s price. It is an absolute piece of art that every Alistar main should own. Alistar wears a cow suit, all of his abilities have the “MOOO” sound effect, and all of them have also been given new particles. The E animation has been changed to bells, there is also a new recall animation as well as a new dance animation. What more could you ask for at this price? To add on top of everything, chromas are also available for this awesome skin.

6. Longhorn Alistar

Longhorn Alistar Skin Spotlight

Longhorn Alistar is based on an “Old West” theme with Alistar wearing a cowboy hat. It is a very simple skin with no added animations, particles or sound effects. To be frank, the colours on this skin are not that good. It just feels like a very outdated appearance.

Skin rating

General appearance: 5/10
Ability animations: 5/10
SFX: 5/10
Recall animation: 5/10
Price factor: 1/1
Total: 21

5. Matador Alistar

Matador Alistar Skin Spotlight

Matador Alistar features him ironically dressed as a matador. A giant bull is supposed to fight another bull. Alistar wears a cool golden jacket. There are no new animations, particles or sound effects. The price of the skin should have been less considering it doesn’t add much except a dress change.

Skin rating:

General appearance: 7/10
Ability animations: 5/10
SFX: 5/10
Recall animation: 5/10
Total: 22

4. Sweeper Alistar

Sweeper Alistar Skin Spotlight

Sweeper Alistar brings us back to the 2014 World Cup collection. Alistar wears a full soccer kit with nice soccer boots as well. This skin is specifically for soccer fans. It adds no new animations, particles or sound effects. But we do love seeing Alistar in soccer boots!

SKT T1 Alistar Skin Spotlight

SKT T1 Alistar commemorates the victory of SK Telecom T1 in the 2015 World Final. The skin adds new particles, and animations but no new sound effects. The animation changes are slight. Alistar’s new SKT outfit looks awesome and the new recall animation is one of the best features of this skin. I recommend this skin to diehard SKT fans.

Ability animations: 6/10
SFX: 5/10

1. Conqueror Alistar

Conqueror Alistar Skin Spotlight

The Conqueror skin line mirrors the Championship skin line that comes out before the Worlds. Keeping in mind the price of the skin, this is a good deal. Alistar has been given new animations, particles and sound effects. The recall animation is different. What’s dope though is how cool Alistar’s model looks. The red and gold colours suit him.

Rare and Limited Skins:

3. Unchained Alistar

Unchained Alistar Skin Spotlight

Unchained Alistar is a rare and limited skin that you could obtain back in the day just by subscribing to the Riot games YouTube channels. Owning this skin is a testament to being a League of Legends veteran. The skin itself is nothing special, just Alistar without the chains. There are no new animations, particles or sound effects. The real value lies in the fact that it cannot be obtained through crafting or from the shop. It was available for free for a certain amount of time.
