The best skin for every Apex Legends character in 2025

Alter is still fairly new in the world of Apex Legends, and as such she doesn't yet have many skins. But Moonlit Menace, which is craftable, is probably the best skin she has received so far. 

The purple and black combination works well with gold highlights, and in first-person, the hands look especially stylish. 

While Ash might not be the most popular character in Apex Legends, she's easily one of the most badass, and her skins match that attitude. 

We love this Ash skin the most, which draws inspiration from Eastern-style armor, and has a stylish gold, black, and red color scheme. 

Ballistic is a classy gentleman with a ton of great skins that match his character. Sadly, he has always been fairly underwhelming in-game, but we're focusing on skins not gameplay. 

Sleek & Suave is a regal and impressive skin that is easily our favorite for Ballistic. Although a little snazzy with the gold touches, the skin has a regal, dignified quality that we love. 

Bangalore is one of the most iconic characters in the entire game. And since she has been in the game so long, she has more skins than almost anyone else. 

There are dozens that could be your first choice for Bangalore, but we like her Mythic skin the most. This skin will cost Heirloom Shards, which are incredibly rare, but if you're a Bangalore main it's a no-brainer. 

Bloodhound is another Legend who has been in the game for a long time and has a ton of skins. There are loads of great options for new Bloodhound mains to pick from, but we love Majestic Tracker the most. 

This skin is actually a redesign and recolor of an earlier Battle Pass skin, and while that can be seen as 'lazy' from the devs, in this case it simply does look fantastic. 

Catalyst was immensely popular when she first released, especially when coupled with Seer, but then the meta shifted, and we have barely seen her since. 

Sadly, she also has very few great skins, which is probably hurting her pick rate even more. But of the few great skins she has, Legacy of the Ancients is our favorite.

Caustic has the hardest voice lines and some of the best skins in the entire game. His character and backstory provide clear design cues for the devs to work with, and that's why we see him featured in cosmetic events so frequently. 

Picking the best Caustic skin was therefore very difficult, but we think Furnace Fury is a great candidate. With his Bane-like mask and chain mail armor, this is one of the most intimidating skins in the entire game. 

Conduit has been popular since she first came on to the scene, and has already received a number of solid skins, so picking the best wasn't easy. 

Undying Optimism is our favorite Conduit skin as the hands look great from a first-person perspective, and because we love the shiny black and red look. 

Crypto has always been a bit of an odd-ball. Even when he is technically very strong, a lot of players simply don't like his passive gameplay. 

Thankfully, Crypto has enjoyed some fantastic skins over the years. But it wasn't hard to pick our favorite; Roaring Guardian is incredible, with the ceremonial tiger head mask and matching jacket. 

Fuse has remained both decently strong and quite popular since he was first added to the game. And because of this, the devs have been created a lot of cosmetics for Fuse over the years. 

There are some amazing Fuse skins to pick from, but Professor Fitzroy is the best. He just looks so damn sleek in a shirt and tie, and with a haircut to kill. 

Gibraltar is an icon, one of the founding Legends who has been in the game since day one. And as you would therefore expect, he has more skins than almost anyone else, including a number of certified bangers. 

Most Christmas skins are fairly low-effort, often just simple blue and white outfits, but Brudda Bear is one of the very few that is worth the money. It suits Gibraltar so much, he's cuddly like a bear, and as merry as Santa Claus! 

Once despised for simply being too strong for too long, Horizon is now in a much more balanced place. She isn't dominating the battlefield, but she's absolutely still a decent choice for anyone new to the game. 

But while Horizon might have been incredibly strong for a long time, she has surprisingly few great skins. Of all the Horizon skins, the recently released Lethal Lass is the cleanest. 

Praise be to Lifeline, an iconic character who received one of the best reworks we've ever seen in Apex. She has been in the game since launch and as such she has dozens of skins, and a lot of them look fantastic. 

But this fairly recent skin, Cruel Medicine, is simply the best. She looks insanely cool with a robot body, and the black and bronze color scheme works perfectly with Lifeline. 

When we're talking about the best-looking anything in Apex, Loba is obviously the first Legend that comes to mind. She's the embodiment of glamour, and she has a higher proportion of great skins than any other Legend. 

It was so hard to pick a favorite here, and Cherry Bomb deserves an honorable mention as a close second, but Sharp Dressed is our number one. The color scheme, the materials, the sword on the back, and the hands in first-person, it's all perfect. 

She might not be the strongest Legend in the game, but Mad Maggie is incredibly fun, especially if you use shotguns over SMGs. But what about her skins? Sadly, they've struggled to produce many truly top-level skins for Maggie. 

The best Mad Maggie skin in Apex is probably Mad Metal, which is thankfully craftable. The soldier vibe really suits Maggie, and the metallic touches add just enough without going too far. 

Let's be honest, everyone hates Mirage, except Mirage mains. He is easily one of the most annoying Legends to fight, and his voice lines are triggering. But, we have to admit, he has a ton of great skins. 

Our favorite Mirage skin is Old Town, because who doesn't love cowboys? Rarely have the devs nailed a design concept so perfectly. 

Newcastle is the father figure we all need in our lives. He's there to protect, and he does it well, being a solid choice for anyone looking to play a Support Legend. 

Although Newcastle hasn't been in the game that long, he does have quite a few cool skins. Our personal favorite is Mane Event, which combines cool gray armor with animal fur. 

Oh Octane, always running off and dying. But, in the right hands, Octane is and has always been an excellent Legend. And as he's been in the game so long, he has a great number of skins for new Octane players to choose from. 

As you can see, we went for the One Piece-inspired skin, Sea Legs. If you're a fan of One Piece, this is really the only choice, but even if you're not, we think this is one of the coolest Octane skins in the game. 

Another icon of the game and a Legend that has been around long enough to have dozens of skins. But until the release of Reaper's Path, very few of the Pathfinder skins really felt worth the money. 

This is the obvious choice for all Pathfinder mains. The black veil covering the face is unbelievably badass, with a single red eye peeking through the darkness. 

Although she struggled to find a place in the meta for a number of years, Rampart is finally in a more reasonable place. Some people simply won't like her passive playstyle, but she's undoubtedly at least viable.

We love a lot of Rampart's skins, and the way they pay homage to her heritage, but Sly Fox is perfect.  The black, gold and turquoise work perfectly together, and the mask looks beautiful. 

Revenant was in such a bad place for so long, but since the rework he is considerably stronger. That said, even when he was weak, he has always had outstanding skins. 

Picking the best skin in Apex was definitely hardest for Revenant. We eventually settled on Synthetic Shinobi, because the Japanese-style armor and hood look fantastic, and the colors perfectly complement the armor. 

Seer is an odd legend who plays unlike any other. When he was a meta pick, he was game-breakingly strong, but since the nerfs we barely ever see him. 

The hat, which is part of his character model, makes many of Seer's skins disappointing, but in the case of the Bladed Wanderer the devs have done a great job. The Eastern-style armor, and simple color scheme work perfectly. 

If you're looking for a fun Legend, Valkyrie is a great pick; the jetpack makes exploring the map so enjoyable. And while she may not be as strong as she when she launched, she is still viable. 

Valkyrie has a great proportion of good to bad skins, so it's hard to pick wrong, but our favorite is Military Grade. The blonde hair suits her perfectly, and the Master Chief looking armor fits with her backstory. 

While the idea of a dedicated sniper sounds like a great idea, Vantage has sadly been underwhelming since she first came into the game. But we're here to talk about skins, and at least in that department, she has some cool outfits. 

The very best Vantage skin in Apex is the Red Shot Raider, which pays homage to her origin story as a wilderness hunter. The skin blends sleek armor with patches of fur and a beast's skull. 

She may not be the strongest Legend in the game, far from it, but she's always been cute. And Wattson has a lot of quality skins, but for us Static Trainers is the best. 

What can we say? We're suckers for the party girl look. The bucket hat, the cropped hoodie, the shorts — Perfect! And the leg warmers are the icing on the cake. 

Yep, this Legend may be toxic (like the players who main her), but she's undoubtedly iconic, and as she's been in the game so long that she has dozens of top-tier skins. Now, as always, she's a great pick for players of all skill levels. 

Our favorite Wraith skin is Voidwalker. We love the futuristic white suit, with the purple helmet, and we think it suits her abilities and backstory perfectly.
