Everything You Need to Know About Riot Blitzcrank

The Basics

Looking to spice up your games with a killer new look for Blitzcrank? Let's dive into everything you need to know about Riot Blitzcrank, a unique skin for Blitzcrank. This skin is all about giving your favorite champion a fresh new look!

Quick Facts

Price: 975 RP

Released: 2013-10-21

Rarity: Common

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2013-10-21, this Common tier skin has become a legacy skin. This means it's no longer available for purchase in the store, but you might be able to get it from chests, rerolling skins, or during specific periods in the year when Riot brings it back.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Riot Blitzcrank worth your RP. At 975 RP, you're getting a relatively cheap skin with decent quality visuals, sometimes even some new animations or effects.

Here's what you get with Riot Blitzcrank: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Blitzcrank move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Riot Blitzcrank 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 Riot Blitzcrank?

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

When you hear Riot Blitzcrank in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Duncan Watt, who brings real personality to the lines.

That splash art that caught your eye? It came from the tablet of Sperasoft Studio, one of Riot's talented artists who really captured the essence of Riot Blitzcrank.
