The Hextech skin line is arguably one of the best skin lines in the game due to its interesting lore and steampunk aesthetic.
This skin line is an opportunity for us to see some of our favorite champions reimagined as dwellers of Piltover and Zaun, suffused with the combined technology and magic of Hextech- both as users and products of this special fusion.
10. Hextech Sejuani
Hextech Sejuani didn’t come to play. Although in her alternate universe lore, she is a benevolent Piltovan elite walking in the peaceful streets mounted, seeking for the latest innovation, her and Bristech’s fully-plated armor definitely shows she is ready for battle.
Although her color is not so different from her Freljordian origins, the color of Hextech is still distinct. Playing this model in game adds confidence to the player as she appears tanky and ready to take on any damage and attacks.
This skin has updated animation, visuals and sound effects, adding to Sejuani’s already massive presence in any match.

9. Hextech Malzahar
Malzahar uses pure energy itself in his Nether Grasp (R), and the Call of the Void (Q), but we see his Void Swarms (W) on a different light as they take the form of a droid from Piltover.
Just as he took on many hardships to find the origin of power itself, one must go through difficulties in obtaining this skin.

7. Hextech Amumu
Designed as a windup toy in the land of craftsmanship where Orianna was created, his in-game model shows a nuanced movement mimicking that of a robot mechanized by gears and pinions.
Amumu’s design, especially his ultimate, is supposed to be flashy. His ultimate covers a large AOE whose effects are easily seen. And one can truly see the mastercraft of Hextech in the Curse of the Sad Mummy, and in this case, Curse of the Vengeful Toy.

Think of Thor and Iron Man combined in a single fun-sized human girl in pigtails. Imagine no further as Hextech Poppy is the personification of just that.
In this alternate universe, she is a hammer-wielding scientist who has mastered the craft of Hextech, using it to empower her abilities. It is most showcased in her ultimate as she charges her Hextech-imbued hammer to knock her enemies towards the other side of the world.
This skin is fun, adventurous, and one of Poppy’s best skins.

5. Hextech Renekton
Two words: Crocodile Cyborg
In another instance of science going too far, we see the artificers create a half-flesh half-robot monster that goes beyond their control, hence creating Hextech Renekton.
This monster went on to dominate every matchup in top lane in the most fashionable style as one can see in the visual effects how Hextech boosts the Butcher of the Sands.
His model is mixed with materials of metal and chemical bottles which seem to empower the Crocodile. When he transcends through Dominus (R), the effects of Hextech magic are seen all over him.
The only way to catch this rampaging Crocodile Cyborg is through luck.

4. Hextech Swain
Serving as the Grand General of Noxus by default, in this reimagined theme of Swain being a top notch artificer in Piltovan society, Hextech Swain still screams “Boss”.
Swain imbues himself with the power of Hextech that gives him special abilities. Most special among them is the ability to transform himself into a transcendent being, radiating the power of Hextech in blue and lightning, while being protected with the metallic plating of gold and blue.
This skin is intimidating, yet respectable at the same time.

3. Hextech Rammus
This skin exemplifies the apex of the technology of Hextech. He represents the best of the Hextech automation as seen when the Armordillo Powerballs (Q), leaving a trail of the distinctive blue Hex smoke, and the sound of friction. The particle effects of this skin are just astonishing.
This is arguably one of Rammus’ best skins due to its new animations, sound effects, and the crunchy mimicry of his iconic roll done by the most skillful mechanics of Piltover.
Unfortunately, this skin is not available in the shop, which means it’s a rare gem and whoever gets this masterpiece is chosen.

2. Hextech Alistar
The Brazen Bull is one of the most iconic forms of punishment designed to strike fear in the hearts of men during the classical period. Now imagine that alive, empowered by the magic and technology of Hextech.
Hextech Alistar not only strikes fear in the most awesome way but also represents prestige as the skin is rare and difficult to obtain.
