Summary
While they certainly don’t help you become a better player, cosmetics are an integral part of any game. Even if you can beat up your foes fine inMobile Legends: Bang Bang, why not look pretty or cool doing so? Special skins are of a higher rarity than both Normal and Elite ones, and while they aren’t as good as Legendary, they’re a great option for those not willing to spend lots on the game.
You’ll still be paying money for these in most circumstances, though, unless there’s an event going on that lets you choose among the skins. For this reason, knowing what your options are and how they look both in and out of your matches is important to save yourself from imminent future regret. For this reason, we’ve compiled some of the best Special skins in ML to make your purchases easier!
10Floral Elfo
Chang’e
Chang’e has always been one of Mobile Legends’s most adorable Heroes, riding her crescent moon to the battlefield as she hugs her bunny and rains down stars on enemies. She already has one of the best default models in the game, with many of her best skins being more sidegrades than direct improvements.
If you want even more sweetness from this mischievous little rascal, the Floral Elfo skin gives her design a complete overhaul while keeping everything that makes Chang’e such a fun design to see. The skin does this by replacing her moon with a vine cradle and the usually pure white moon rabbit with a more natural, brownish hare.
9Bass Craze
Hilda
The queen of the wilderness, Hilda, finds herself most at home within the jungle, recovering HP in bushes and wearing animal skulls and fur for a very tribal aesthetic. While many of her skins improve on this connection to nature, some of her best skins end up being those that stray away from it.
Bass Craze Hilda is one such skin that uses her muscular stature to its advantage, giving her a punk makeover. She now has brightly dyed hair, leather clothes fashioned in black, and even her usually bony shoulder pads, which are refashioned into electrical speakers. Best of all, she now uses her axe as an electric guitar!
8Susanoo
Badang
Susasoo is one of Badang’s oldest skins added to the game, and while it cannot compete with skins of higher rarities, the design has stood the test of time and still remains one of the best Special skins in Mobile Legends.
Susanoo takes Badang’s largely simple design and adorns him with all kinds of unique design choices. From the asymmetrical cloth around his waist to the patterns on the garments, there’s a lot going on with what little he’s wearing. The cherry on top of this design and what sets it apart would likely be the long, flowing white hair, as well as the magnificent ogre-like horns protruding from his head, showing that this skin turns Badang into something beyond human.
7Gold Baron
Tigreal
Tigreal is usually portrayed as one of thenoblest and most selfless Heroes in all of Mobile Legends, picking up his shield and leading all those fighting alongside him to victory in a straightforward manner, never relying on deceit or striving for personal benefit.
Gold Baron Tigreal is the complete opposite, representing a person who only strives for personal wealth and luxury. His noble, knightly weapon is now a hammer of gold, adorned with diamonds. Even his shield is now the door of a safe, something used to protect material wealth, not people.
6Insidious Tutor
Hanzo
Hanzo has always had a very limited roster of skins to choose from despite his popularity, not having any Collector or Lucky Box skins for his fans to splurge money on. Even the skins he does have are not too great, having no skill effects and only slightly differing visuals.
Fortunately, one of the only skins Hanzo has access to is Insidious Tutor Hanzo, one of the prettiest skins for any male Hero in Mobile Legends. This skin takes thelargely unkempt, cursed ninjathat is Hanzo and turns him into a well-dressed teacher.
5Pasha Of Justice
Another Tigreal skin, Pasha of Justice, takes what makes Tigreal so commendable and instead of changing it to oppose his themes, just frames everything that represents him in a different manner.
Pasha of Justice Tigreal still is the same competent leader that leads his soldiers toward victory, but now has a more grown-up look on his face, complete with facial hair. There just aren’t that many Heroes that have mature designs, and Pasha of Justice Tigreal fills this lack of design diversity.
4Savage Pointguard
Balmond
If you’ve ever wanted to see the savage warlord ogre that is Balmond wear a basketball uniform and shoot a three-pointer, you can get his Savage Pointguard skin to see him do just that. It’s a very humorous sight to look at, and there’s nothing more embarrassing for your opponents than being dunked on by his Ultimate, which is now a basketball hoop.
The funny premise aside, Savage Pointguard is just a very well-made skin to look at. It has pleasing visuals, great details, and best of all, some of the best skill effects of any Special skin in the game.
3Cherry Witch
Kagura
If you’re looking for the cutest skins in the game, Cherry Witch Kagura will be one you absolutely need to add to your account. She has an adorable expression on her face, a very cutesy outfit, cat ears that poke out of her hair, and a hairstyle that frames her face like a princess. All of this makes Cherry Witch Kagura one of the prettiest Heroes in MLBB.
Unfortunately, apart from her model and her animations out of the game, this skin doesn’t do much to change Kagura’s skills. With no specific effects and the color changes being subtle as well, we can’t rank this skin any higher, despite it being absolute eye candy.
2Divine Owl
Alice
Originally, Alice is a demoness that leeches off of others' life force, regenerating her health by weakening others. She has attributes typically associated with demons, having a reddish color scheme alongside devil-like horns. The Divine Owl skin takes this and reverses it entirely, turning her into an angel-like figure.
Divine Owl Alice is one of the most interesting skins in Mobile Legends because of how it shifts her character. Even apart from the theme change, though, the skin is just pleasant to look at and features some of the most well-animated special effects of any skin with the Special tag.
1Shikigami Summoner
Valir
One of the best tells of what makes a skin good is how much it deviates from the default while still keeping the Hero recognizable, even to those who haven’t seen the skin before. This can be quite a problem with many great skins that end up confusing both your allies and enemies alike.
One of the skins that does this perfectly is Valir’s Shikigami Summoner skin, repainting his entire character silhouette and dressing him in modest, priest-like clothes. The skin also changes all of his flames to a beautiful blue, resulting in some truly amazing skill effects.
