Divine Sword Irelia Skin — Himmlisches Schwert Irelia

Divine Sword Irelia is part of the Immortal journey skin line. In this skin line, Riot Games created a universe of fables and gods that have sought to test their power and their strength. Though some attempts of champions in this skin line have seemed feeble, Divine Sword Irelia is in a league of her own.

According to her skin lore, Divine Sword Irelia is a demi-goddess who wanted to test her strength and decided to fight an ancient dragon king. She beat him in front of his constituents and in his rage, he lashed out one final time. To teach him humility, Irelia sealed his power within her sacred blade. Whether he learned humility is unknown and a fable for another day. | © Riot Games

Order of the Lotus Irelia skin — Lotusorden

This skin is part of the Order of the Lotus skin line, which only has two skins to begin with – Irelia and Karma. Both of these champions are also closely related in their base lore, so this could be an extension of themselves in another universe.

This is a mysterious alternate universe and Riot hasn't given us the full details, but just by looking at the aesthetics, we love this skin. The colors fit really well together and make Irelia stand out. It's one of her best skins and if you're not already broke because you've been spending all your RP on Ahri skins (not naming anyone here), then go and waste your money on yet another skin... a beautiful one, though, I'll give you that. | © Riot Games

Ig irelia skin splash — Irelia iG

This skin was made for the 2018 League of Legends World Champions Invictus Gaming. It was picked by the team's top laner Lee “Duke” Ho-Seong who is the first player to win two world championships on two different teams. He won his first Worlds in 2016 with SKT T1 before making the switch to the LPL where two years later, he got to lift the Summoner's Cup once more.

The iG Irelia skin looks great. The white color scheme of Invictus Gaming fits her and makes her movements smooth. Any of the iG skins are worth it, but this one is a masterpiece when it comes to World Championship skins. The other champions that were chosen by players are LeBlanc, Camille, Fiora, Rakan and Kai'Sa. | © Riot Games

High Noon Irelia skin — High Noon Irelia

This skin is part of the High Noon universe, and it's one of the best skins Irelia has. This skin swaps her swords out for sharp guns. She also got a unique and interesting new backing animation that fits perfectly with her champion bio in the High Noon universe.

Irelia was once an angel but has since fallen. She's been tainted by darkness, which is why she is unable to return to the heavens. This is clearly seen in her High Noon skin backing animation, where we can see her angel form as well. If you liked watching Supernatural, then this is a skin for you... and if you shipped Destiel, even more so. | © Riot Games

Project Irelia skin — PROJECT: Irelia

PROJECT skins are really interesting. In this universe, we get transported to a cyberpunk world in which humans are augmented with machines and AI. There are champions who fight against this, like Ashe, and others who embrace their augments and work for the government and people who create these 'meta humans'. In 2021, we got new PROJECT skins as well, but Irelia still has one of the best and most unique ones out there.

In this universe, Irelia has become an outcast and uses her power to try and find others who have distanced themselves from the various factions fighting throughout their world. She knows that Warwick could destroy everyone and everything, so she decides to join the rebels in their attack on the city to try and end PROJECT once and for all.

So, if you have any RP left after your shopping spree for Spirit Blossom skins, or you pulled this skin shard, then make sure to hextech craft it because it's one of the best in all of League of Legends. | © Riot Games

Irelia is a dancer from Ionia. She grew up learning ancient dance routines, loving every moment of it. She was sent away to learn the art of dance, only to come back home when word spread of a foreign nation invading Ionia. When she got to her once peaceful village, Irelia had to face the reality – Noxus had already invaded.

Her family gone, her brothers and father dead left to rot in unmarked graves, Irelia had to try and protect what was left of her clan. She tried to fight for the family crest, only for it to fall and shatter to the ground. For the first time new power seeped through Irelia as anger overcame her, and she realized that the dances she'd been taught all her life were far more than mere pieces of art, but also the steps of a warrior.

That was how she discovered she has the ability to move the blades of the shattered crest to defend herself against the invaders of Noxus. She was able to use her new powers and managed to get away from her once peaceful home. At only 14, Irelia had to help create a revolutionary force that would try to keep Noxus at bay and restore peace to her homeland.

But that's all just Irelia's base lore. That's not what we're here for today right? We're here to find out about all the different universes Riot Games has put Irelia in by checking out some of her best skins. So, which AU will Irelia take us to with her multitude of League of Legends skins? Let's find out.
