Despite being one of the oldest champions in League of Legends, Jax is still a strong menace in the top lane.
This melee fighter has the power to dominate close-range fights and outduel most champions with his stun and high DPS hybrid damage. Given his popularity and longevity in the game, Jax also boasts an impressive line of skins offering a variety of looks for the champion, drawing from a range of different source materials as inspiration.
Currently, Jax has 14 unique skins in the game spanning back to the champion’s introduction to League in 2009.
Some of these skins are widely available and used by many players, but others have become rare to see in the game.
Here are some of the best skins for Jax in League of Legends.
The top five Jax skins in League of Legends
Mecha Kingdoms Jax
Although the most expensive skin on the list, Mecha Kingdoms Jax is also one of the most impressive. As part of the Mecha Kingdoms skin line, this skin boasts impressive mechanical armor including attachable wings strapped to his back in place of the cape more commonly seen in other Jax skins. This complete redesign of the champion also includes an enormous ax in place of the lantern the character uses as a weapon.
Mecha Kingdoms Jax isn’t limited to the plain white color showcased in the splash art, however. Players have the option of purchasing multiple different chromas to customize the appearance of the skin.
While it’s not cheap at the price of 1,820 RP, Mecha Kingdoms Jax is absolutely one of the most impressive skins for the champion in the game and remains available for purchase in the store.
Pax Jax
One of the oldest skins for the champion, Pax Jax is the rarest skin for Jax in the game. To acquire this skin players had to have attended one of two events to obtain the unlock code. The code was given out at PAX East and PAX Prime in 2010, before being available once again at PAX East 2011. Since then, there has been no way to get a hold of the skin outside of online code reselling or account sales.
Despite its limited availability, Pax Jax is one of the simpler skins for the champion. In this look, Jax dons a yellow cloak with a PacMan face on its torso and a straw hat. The weapon of choice for Jax also changed in this skin to a large pole in place of the lantern. Outside of these changes, there is little to showcase in this skin, but it remains one of his most sought-after looks due to the limited number of times players are seen using it in-game.
Angler Jax
One of the best Jax skins is Angler Jax. While the 520 RP price point might mislead you, the skin is probably as close as you can get to Pax Jax.
Back in the old days of League, most skins primarily made a costume change. With Angler Jax, Riot tweaked its model and texture and ensured smooth animations, making the skin very enjoyable to use. Despite not being ‘up to standards’ nowadays, the fishing theme works well with Jax’s lore, as Jax’s lamp is replaced with a fishing rod.
Unfortunately, Angler Jax is no longer available in the shop and has been put in the Legacy Vault. If you happen to have it already, lucky you. Otherwise, you will need to pray to find it with the Hextech crafting or mystery gifting.
Conqueror Jax
This is the newest Jax skin that has been released so far, and you can easily see the quality upgrades over the previous ones.
All of the abilities have a green-gray scheme that matches the model. While the colors might not match the Conqueror lineup, the animations, visuals, and sound effects were changed, making this Jax skin feel a lot different, but in a positive way.
Aside from the voice that has remained the same, all the other aspects of Conqueror Jax have been tweaked. You will see many spirals and stripes in the kit, which add a touch of uniqueness to the skin. His W, for example, also changes its appearance and makes an electronic sound when cast.
The skin also offers a Prestige edition, with the grey and dark green colors replaced by a gold and light green scheme. There isn’t much difference between them since both are well made; this is more a matter of what color you prefer. That being said, the skin is already in the Legacy category, so you cannot purchase it anymore.
God Staff Jax
One of the most impressive skins available for the champion, God Staff Jax offers a complete redesign of Jax’s appearance while keeping his core elements intact. This Epic skin boasts a ton of features including new sound effects, an impressive recall animation, a death animation, and visual effects.
Appearance-wise, Jax has never looked better. In this skin we finally see Jax take on a facepiece that is not the multiple dots we are familiar with, instead opting for a mask allowing his white hair to remain visible. The armor Jax dons in this skin is white and gold with the gold trim coming together in a ring around his head. The cape remains in this skin as well, but not many changes have been made there other than the color.
As the skin’s name implies, Jax has traded out the lantern for a staff dubbed the “God Staff” that, although looking like a lantern, boasts a distinct gold aura channeled through Jax’s hands from the staff.
At the cost of 1,350 RP some players may opt for other skins over God Staff Jax. But if you are after something sleek that boasts many unique changes to the appearance of the champion, God Staff Jax is the perfect skin.
