Tristana is one of the 17 champions that were available when League of Legends was first released in 2009. You would think that for such an old champion she would be forgotten, but no! Tristana is as loved as ever. She is primarily played in the bottom and mid lane, although we have seen her in the jungle and top lane as well. There are several reasons for her consistent popularity. As she’s one of the oldest champions, she’s relatively cheap at just 1350 Blue Essence. Furthermore, she’s one of the simpler ad carries to play. Tristana has over a dozen different skins in the game right now, but we limited our list to the top 8. Without further ado, here’s a list of the best Tristana skins in the game.

8. Riot Girl Tristana
While there are definitely better skins than Riot Girl Tristana, we felt like we had to include her. She was a huge part of every new player’s experience. Players could unlock it by liking League of Legends’ Facebook page. Nowadays, that option is not available anymore. There is no way to unlock it making it rarer and rarer. Truth be told, it’s a terrible skin. The only noticeable change compared to the original is the pink hair. But who cared about that in 2010? I know I didn’t.
7. Buccaneer Tristana – Best Budget Skin
At just 520 RP, Buccaneer is one of the best cheapest skins in the game. It features Tristana as a pirate. She wears a pirate hat that she stole from an unfortunate foe and an eye patch. But don’t worry, it’s just for decoration. Because, who could harm the best gunner in the universe? Skin doesn’t come with any updated animations. Luckily, it makes up for that with her visually appealing outfit and outstanding splash art.

6. Firefighter Tristana
The fact we have to put such an amazing skin just at number 6 speaks of how many great skins Tristana has. Just like our ADC’s in SoloQ, she leaps into danger regardless if she has support or not. Our yordle wears firefighter suit and a hat. On top of that, she has new sound effects. The disadvantage of this skin is that it is pretty pricey. It costs 1820 RP, if you are lucky enough and she’s available to buy. Otherwise, you’ll have to open chests and hope you get her using the Loot system.
5. Rocket Girl Tristana
Have you ever wanted to be a superhero with a huge gun catching villains? Well, now you can be. Rocket Girl Tristana is suited up and ready to save the world. Sadly, she doesn’t come with updated animations. On the other hand, sound effects are what make this skin truly great. Furthermore, the best part of the skin are auto attacks. They feel faster and much smoother than on any other of her skins. If you can afford only 975 RP, look no further. This skin is for you!
4. Omega Squad Tristana
Not only a part of a squad, she is actually a commander of Omega Squad in this skin. Fearing no enemy, she is always looking to shoot her way forward. You can easily recognize her by her trademark red beret and a green eye. It’s the first skin on our list that comes with updated animations. Also, there are numerous chromas available for the skin if you get bored of the same look.

3. Pengu Cosplay Tristana – Cutest
We reached top 3 best Tristana skins in the game right now. It was extremely hard ranking them considering that the differences between them are minor, and most importantly, subjective. Our number 3 spot goes to Pengu Cosplay. It is the definition of cuteness. Instead of firing bullets, she shoots small Pengu’s from her gun. As well with updated animations she also has updated sound effects. Her appearance is characterized by a blue and white onesie.
2. Little Demon Tristana
After finding herself in hell, Tristana rose through the ranks to command her own demon army. Her appearance is completely opposite of the one of Pengu Tristana. She has a devilish appearance with pink skin and ears. It has to be said though, her splash art is stunning. The skin comes with updated animations and sound effects. In addition to that, she also has a voice filter. Even though I know she comes from the depths of hell, her voice is still terrifying. You should go for this skin if you are not a fan of her usual positive vibe.
1. Dragon Trainer Tristana – Best Overall
It was a tough choice, but the best Tristana skin is Dragon Trainer Tristana. Dragon lovers are going to love this skin. Instead of a gun, Tristana is shooting her bullets, or rather fire, from her pet dragon. And who doesn’t want to have a pet dragon? Furthermore, it has a new set of ability and recall animations. Secondly, it comes with a completely new voice and sound effects. Her splash art shows a cheerful girl training her pet. A contrast to her usual fighting spirit, she instead opted to nurture her relationship with a young dragon. When using taunts and jokes, Tristana plays with her dragon. The skin is a bit more expensive standing at 1820 RP, but it is well worth it.
Conclusion
Tristana is one of the few champions that keeps getting new and cool skins. With over a dozen of them to rank it was a difficult feat to determine the order in this list. But nevertheless, Dragon Trainer Tristana is overall the best Tristana skin in the game right now. We have no doubt in our mind that the upcoming skins are going to be even better and we will update this post accordingly.
