Fiddlesticks is an icon not just within League of Legends lore but also within the universe of Runeterra. A demonic entity feared by all of the living, that some say came to existence with the first primal scream of all of reality.
Fiddlesticks is present in some form throughout all of Runeterra and its skins only add more depth to the character; because of its universal presence, most of its skins are renditions of the being in different parts of the dense universe.
Despite the base model being impeccably well-done, we’ve decided to rank all of the champion’s currently released skins from (least) best to absolutely freakin’ mind-blowing.
10- Bandito Fiddlesticks

Bandito fiddlesticks shares a similar general lore as default fiddlesticks but instead is placed in the wild west, turning the scarecrow-esque vibe that the champion has into a bandana-clad, gun-slinging demonic entity that hunts down travellers with no warning.
The skin does not change much of his base form nor voice lines however is much more affordable at 520 RP and can be purchased at any time from the in-game store. The skin has a neat concept, but there is only so much they can add to fiddlesticks when their base model is already so good.
9- Union Jack Fiddlesticks

Union Jack Fiddlesticks takes the horrifying juggernaut that is base fiddlesticks and reimagines them as you guessed it- Jack the Ripper. Inspired by wardrobes and themes of late 1800’s Britain, it may not be the most flashy and game-changing skin out of his collection but definitely hits the spot for people like me who have spent a little too much time on true crime documentaries.
The skin costs you a measly 520 RP but is in the legacy vault, meaning it cannot be purchased directly however it can be obtained through hextech chests and when the legacy vault is open.
8- Pumpkinhead Fiddlesticks

Pumpkinhead Fiddlesticks is a great skin for anyone feeling the spooky season set in, it’s a simple and fun concept; Fiddlesticks as a scarecrow with a festive carved pumpkin for a head. It may not be the best skin he has, but it’s definitely a fun one.
The skin costs 520 RP but it is currently in the legacy vault, so just like any other legacy skin you can either get it when legacy vaults open up or through hextech chests.
7- Fiddle Me Timbers

The pirate life is not easy, with unspeakable horror lurking in the depths to sickness and unforgiving storms, life at sea is ruthless. But nothing is as terrifying as the demon of fear as old as the first breath of the universe itself making its way onto your boat. Fiddle Me Timbers changes Fiddlestick’s history into pirate folklore, changing his scythe into an anchor and the best part- they gave it a pirate hat.
The skin costs an affordable 520 RP and is available for purchase in the in-game store at any point.
6- Spectral Fiddlesticks

Fiddlesticks as a champion is someone who doesn’t just step over Nocturne with its superior design and dread-inducing uncanny animations, they even have a skin that surpasses Nocturne’s design by being a creepier disturbing-er spectral ghost. Spectral Fiddlesticks is a spectre guarding ancient secrets under a tomb, with fables and folklore that speak of adventurers going down there but never coming back out.
The skin is a great buy at just 520 RP and is available for purchase at any time through the in-game store.
5- Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks
See the skin in action: https://youtu.be/MLkZRGHj_-g
Tales speak of a celestial horror that has feasted over the Star Guardians for as long as they’ve been active, lurking in the dark void of space and consuming the light the guardians radiate, Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks is a force all of the guardians fear. The skin brings entirely new animations and voiceovers, with plentiful interactions with star guardians and adding a new touch of celestial horror to Fiddlesticks.
The dark purple with the pale off-white tones give the champion a sleek yet uncanny look, with a cheshire cat grin on top of his already startling effigies and a brand new drain animation, it surely deserves the legendary skin status.
The skin is legendary because of the new effects and animations and is available for purchase at any time from the in-game store for just 1350 RP.
4- Risen Fiddlesticks

From deep within the dry sands, the mistakes of a naive young emperor have come to life. A being of true untethered power summoned to do the bidding of the power hungry has turned against anyone that roams the once great empire, found stalking its prey among the ruins of the great architecture and fields once beholding bountiful yield.
Risen Fiddlesticks turns Fiddlesticks into a wraith-like mummified demon summoned through dark rituals, with entirely new animations, voice lines and a literal swarm of freakin’ locusts for his ultimate.
The skin is an epic skin worth 1350 RP, available at any point at the in-game store for purchase.
3- Praetorian Fiddlesticks
See the skin in action: https://youtu.be/7_Vh7wXFvf0
Among the vastness of space, an amalgamated monster of fierce and unforgiving bloodthirst has started to wreak havoc among the cosmos. The monster is just one among a fleet of immense size, exterminating all life they come across and growing stronger, pillaging mechanical parts and components to grow even stronger.
Praetorian Fiddlesticks brings cosmic horror to a brand new scale, the jittery animations lend incredibly well to the new mechanical theme that the skin carries, with science-fiction weaponry implemented into each of their abilities, and the distorted and broken voice-filters make the skin stand out (despite all the voice-lines being replaced with different variations of mechanical noise which is a little funny at first until you realise you’re dealing with an interdimensional being of nothing but carnage and destruction).
Praetorian Fiddlesticks is an epic skin, placing its worth up at 1350 RP and making it available at any point, it’s definitely a skin that takes the core concept of Fiddlesticks and brings and impeccably executed idea to the design.
2- Dark Candy Fiddlesticks

The purpose of this dark being is solely to corrupt and corrode the joy that comes with snowdown. The ones that celebrate the joyful day must be careful, as something lurks right out their vision and it’s closing in, the cold amplifies every sound you hear as you panic and try to understand if it was just a twig cracking or something much more sinister, coming after you.
Dark Candy Fiddlesticks has some of the best animations and voiceovers, taking the pure concept of winter festivities and twisting it into a deranged, demonic presence. Fiddlesticks isn’t just out for inflicting fear and dread, it’s out to take away your joy right before it lunges at you, taking away your life soon after.
The skin has amazing particle effects on all of Fiddlesticks’ abilities and yet costs just 520 RP and is available at all times from the in-game store.
1- Surprise Party Fiddlesticks
See the skin in action: https://youtu.be/CZyD7pxlG8A
Hiring a clown for a birthday party is an innocent and fun day just waiting to happen, with bright and vibrant colours to take away any worries you might have, watching a talented professional bringing you humorous bits and cartoonishly wild tricks. But not all clowns are to be trusted.
Watch as you fall into panic and disarray as attendants start to vanish, and the tricks slowly devolve into crude and morbid imagery of terror. Horrifying clowns are always the stuff that gives a lot of people goosebumps, the uncanny humanoid appearance of clowns and their almost maniacal laughs can send shivers down anyone's spine and hence the best Fiddlesticks skin has to be the one that takes that fear and combines it with the demonic powers of Fiddlesticks itself.
The skin was originally released to celebrate the game’s anniversary, but after the rework became Fiddlesticks’ most iconic skin to date, with confetti and balloon animals on his ultimate and little party poppers going off on his drain abilities, the skin is the best in terms of animations and effort as it conveys the horror of a deranged clown while keeping everything true to the birthday-party theme.
It’ll cost you 975 RP which is surprisingly lower than some of Fiddlesticks’ other skins and on top of that, it isn’t part of the legacy vault which means you can purchase it at any time.
