One of League of legends’ most iconic skin lines, Elementalist, is making a return, according to a new leak by Big Bad Bear on YouTube. While this leak isn’t fully verified, it aligns with previously datamined information from trusted sources, making it highly likely to be true.
However, it’s worth noting that this should still be treated as a rumor until Riot Games officially confirms it.
Elementalist Skin Line Returns with a New Concept
Originally, Riot planned for each Elementalist skin to represent a single element, but they have changed the concept. Now, champions selected for the Elementalist line will represent multiple elements instead of just one.
This update means that the champions chosen must match the thematic fantasy of Elementalist, making this a huge patch for the skin line and a fresh direction for League of Legends’ cosmetic designs.
Leaked Elementalist Skins
The new Elementalist skins will feature the following champions:
Legendary Skin:
- Elementalist Sona – The main highlight of the skin line, getting the Legendary-tier treatment.
Epic Skins:
- Elementalist Qiyana (who will also receive a Prestige version)
- Elementalist Aphelios
- Elementalist Hwei
This is shaping up to be one of League’s biggest skin releases under Riot’s new philosophy, where champions must match the skin line’s identity rather than just being given a theme at random.
And yes, Riot actually nailed the champion choices this time!
Zyra’s Prestige Faerie Court Skin Confirmed
Previously, we discussed a leaked Prestige skin for Zyra, but at the time, we weren’t sure if it would be Elementalist or Faerie Court. Now, we have confirmation:
- Zyra’s new Prestige skin will be part of the Faerie Court line, NOT Elementalist.
This clears up speculation and means Elementalist will remain focused on the four confirmed champions.
Riot’s Strategy: Selling Good Skins to Bring in Revenue?
Many in the community are speculating that Riot is pushing high-quality skins to increase revenue. After all, Elementalist is one of the most beloved skin lines, and giving Qiyana, Sona, Aphelios, and Hwei premium cosmetics almost guarantees high sales.
Regardless of Riot’s motivations, this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting skin drops in years.
