What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Barbarian Sion worth your RP. At 750 RP, you're getting a budget-friendly option that still gives Sion a fresh look, so you can stand out.

Here's what you get with Barbarian Sion: While this skin doesn't add new effects or animations, it offers a visual redesign that gives Sion a fresh look on the Rift.

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Barbarian Sion keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Who made Barbarian Sion?

Ever wonder who's responsible for making these skins? We'll break it down for you:

When you hear Barbarian Sion in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Scott McNeil, who brings real personality to the lines.

That splash art that caught your eye? It came from the tablet of several artists working together: Jessica 'OwleyCat' Oyhenart and Christian Fell . This collaboration resulted in the amazing artwork you see on the champion select screen.

The Story Behind Barbarian Sion

Avoiding every social cue his roleplaying group throws his way, Sion has repeatedly rolled barbarians only to die immediately after rejoining the table. At this point he's spent more time working on character sheets than actually playing Rift Quest, and it shows: his newest barbarian's backstory reads, “Is a barbarian.”
