When talking about Ionia and its spiritual traditions, Karma stands out from the rest. She is carrying an ancient soul that has been reincarnated countless times. Moreover, she carries all of her memories into each new life giving her a nickname The Enlightened One.
League of Legends players know her for something else though. She’s one of the most beloved supports in the game. Her shields keep her allies alive and access to her ultimate ability from level 1 makes her one of the most dominating bot laners.
Seeing her base skin every game can quickly become boring, so here’s the list of best Karma skins.
Table of Contents
10. Sakura Karma
Sakura Karma is her cheapest skin. With the way new releases work like, I don’t think that will ever change. Frankly, that’s also the only positive thing about this skin. There are no changes whatsoever to her animations.
Her splash art has her placed in a Japanese environment with cherry blossom trees in the background. She wears a green and pink kimono that gets downgraded as you load into the game. I’d recommend you to save the RP for some better skin or pay a bit more.
9. Sun Goddess Karma
Sun Goddess Karma is number 9 on our list. She protects the Earth from its doom. Ancient titans are lurking in the shadows ready to annihilate the world if Karma gets overtaken by the moon.
Besides the interesting theme, she also wears minimal clothes which are green. It’s definitely her hottest skin, and if that’s something you are interested in don’t scroll any further. On that note, splash art doesn’t give her in-game appearance justice.

8. Warden Karma – Best Budget Skin
In a complete 180 turn, Warden Karma is completely covered in metal armor. This loyal protector is joined by Jax in the splash art. Usually, that would be a good thing. But, she’s all the way in the background, completely out of the focus. Almost like she has added to the splash art afterward.
Her shining armor makes her elegant. While there are no new animations, its appearance makes up for it. For just 750 RP, it’s definitely the best skin if you are not looking to spend a lot.
7. Conqueror Karma
Each year, League of Legends international e-sports events is celebrated by a skin. Conqueror skin line was made in honor of the Mid-Season Invitational. In 2017 Karma had that honor.
The skin is based on dark red and gold colors. Her auto attacks are red, as well as her spells. The biggest change comes with the recall animation. Upon entering it, Karma raises the MSI trophy above her.
6. Order of the Lotus Karma
If you enjoy Karma’s base skin, then you will certainly love this one. It follows the same theme as her lore. Her splash art seeps with spirituality and patience. Furthermore, it costs 975 RP which is lower than the usual 1350.
Her dress consists of pink and green. Her auto attacks are pink. Soulflare is made in the shape of a lotus and leaves petals around the target it hits.

5. Winter Wonder Karma
The powerful sorceress has a winter theme in this skin. Friend of the Poro King carries the winter wherever she goes. The downside of the skin is that you can buy it only sometimes. On top of that, it costs 1350. But enough about that, let’s see what changes this skin brings.
She wears a purple dress with a white scarf. Her Q ability leaves a snowflake mark when she hits an enemy. After Focused Resolve roots, the enemy the ground under them freezes. Finally, her shield is full of snowflakes for the real winter mood.
4. Dark Star Karma
Once dedicated to pacifism and personal enlightenment, Karma was erased from existence. After reincarnating she turned a new page and caused dread upon the universe. Not even galaxies are safe from Karma’s wrath.
While she keeps her human appearance, dark forces flow through her body. When recalling to the base, she erases an entire planet. In addition to that dark magic follows all of her spells. The most impressive spell is Soulflare which shows the whole universe underneath a target it hits.
With these cool animations also come new sound effects and even a voice filter. She sounds different than her other skins.
3. Odyssey Karma
The first one entering our big three is Odyssey Karma. The High Priestess took it upon herself to make sure several captured templars got set free of Aatrox. Her appearance is rather colorful. Personally, it takes a bit away from the simplicity Karma is supposed to follow. Nevertheless, there are some amazing changes in this skin.
Her spells are seamless and even change color depending on if her ultimate is active or not. For example, Inner Flare turns from blue to green when Mantra is active. Lastly, you can change her look even more by purchasing her chromas.

2. Ruined Karma
After surviving the ruination of Ionia, Karma took care of her people. But that wouldn’t last long. During the second war led by Viego himself, Karma was taken to the other side. Now she fights the souls she so desperately wanted to help.
Just like Viego, she is overflown by the bad magic that is green. On top of that her whole appearance is black making her extremely frightening. There are pieces of skull circling the top of her head that complete into one big skull during the recall. Spooky. Her auto attacks are green, just like the other spells. Her W, Focused Resolve, looks a lot like LeBlanc’s chains.
With that being said, I love the theme of the skin and the way Riot put it all together. Her appearance is absolutely stunning so it’s no surprise that Ruined Karma is ranked second on our best Karma skin list.
1. Tranquility Dragon Karma
The end of our list brings us back to spreading peace and ending all violence in the world. After Brand’s corruption spread, Karma couldn’t find a solution anywhere. Until she looked within. Woken up with the dragon’s gift she was finally able to face Brand and put an end to his violence. But enough of that, let’s see what makes it the best Karma skin.
In the splash art, she is seen with two dragons flying around her. In the game that’s further cemented as her eyes are different colors. The right one is red and the left one is blue. Just like the dragons, she got her powers from.
Throughout all of her spells powers from both dragons combine. They swirl around each other creating one of the most visually pleasing animations in the whole game. You can even see the dragon’s once Karma uses her shielding ability Inspire.
You will love recalling with this skin. Dragons swirl around her before connecting and giving her a ride to the base.
Tranquility Dragon Karma costs 1350 RP which I think is great. I wouldn’t have any issue with it being 1800 RP or more. That’s how great this skin is!
Conclusion
I think it’s safe to say there are no bad Karma skins. But not all of them can be the best either. Personally, I think Tranquility Dragon Karma set the new standards for all the future Karma skins. It’s certainly one of the best skins in the game with its unique design and attention to detail.
On the other hand, if you prefer “bad” Karma, then Ruined Karma is surely the one you should go for. It has many cool features which include a voice filter. Not only does she look spooky, but she also sounds that way.
