It essentially transforms the badass champions we know and love into cute maids ready to serve up a whole lot of magical pastries. While this skin line won’t suit everyone’s tastes, it is one of my personal favorites, and it’s only fair I honor it (and its fans) by ranking its skins based on how kawaii it’ll make you feel. So get your brew at the ready and let’s dive into a tea party so extravagant, it puts the Mad Hatter’s tea party to shame.
6. Cafe Cuties Vladimir
Released: December 2nd, 2021 Price: 1350 RP A blood-sucking vampire shouldn’t be elegant and stylish, but hey, Riot loves to prove us wrong! This skin transforms Vladimir into the most noble butler out there, sporting a snazzy tailcoat, a pair of sleek gloves, and a gorgeous green tie. Even his hair has been given a slick, well-groomed look. Aside from looking like a prince, animations are creative and really immerse you in the cafe thematic. Plus, his recall is basically a Beauty and the Beast style magical tea party. Oh, and if you’re a self-proclaimed otaku? The black chroma pretty much turns Vladimir into Sebastian from Black Butler. Sadly, I do find the animations a little clunky – hence why the skin, although aesthetic, isn’t higher up on this list.
5. Cafe Cuties Sivir
Released: December 2nd, 2021 Price: 1350 RP Pizza is out and cupcakes and cinnamon swirls are in; this skin turns Sivir into a hip cafe maid ready to serve up some sugary delights. Cafe Cuties Sivir is playful and fits the stereotypical anime maid cafe look, with knee-high socks, frills, and colorful hair. Now, I’m not overly won over by the outfit. In my opinion, it doesn’t really suit Sivir, and the kawaiiness feels a bit too forced. Nevertheless, the animations definitely make up for this. They’re downright hilarious to play with. You literally get to smack your enemies’ health bars with a plate full of cupcakes. Plus your recall is basically a cuter version of the iconic Spiderman cafeteria scene.
4. Cafe Cuties Gwen
Released: December 2nd, 2021 Price: 1350 RP Cafe Cuties Gwen has ditched her gothic lolita vibe and gone all out on the kawaii look, with vibrant pink shades, curls, and giant ribbons. Her animations are equally cute. They’re brimming with sparkles and dainty flowers, and the ultimate allows you to stab your enemies with some pretty elegant-looking dessert forks. The icing on the cake though has got to be the recall. It’s just so, so adorable!
3. Cafe Cuties Annie
Released: December 2nd, 2021 Price: 1350 RP This skin is basically an upgrade of Sweetheart Annie. Every element of it is cute, creative, and dropdead gorgeous. Even Tibbers has been given a sweet makeover. Instead of a grizzly bear, he’s now a giant pink gummy bear dressed up in a blue suit and mustache. So yep, you literally get to smack your enemies to death with candy. Abilities feel smooth and have also been given a stunning visual update. The only reason this skin hasn’t taken the top spot? The sound effects are a little underwhelming – I don’t feel the “oomph” in every hit as I do in Annie’s other skins.
2. Cafe Cuties Soraka
Released: December 2nd, 2021 Price: 1350 RP Okay, Cafe Cuties Soraka has the cutest animations out of all the skins in this line. Your auto attacks are literally croissants, the passive is a delectable strawberry cake, and your ultimate spills tea over your allies when you heal them. Sound effects are also utterly magical and cute, further helping you live out your kawaii maid dream. Oh, and your weapon is a croissant-shaped staff. Yep. Even Order of the Banana Soraka can’t compete with that.
1. Cafe Cuties Bard
Released: December 2nd, 2021 Price: 1350 RP Cafe Cuties Bard takes the Beauty and the Beast vibe to a whole other level – he’s literally transformed into a teapot wearing an overly extravagant pink suit. Oh, and your meeps? They’re now walking teacups. Yep. It’s ridiculous. It’s cute. And it’s downright hilarious. This skin genuinely is in the “pay 2 win” category – no enemy will be able to assassinate you guilt-free when you look like this. Jokes aside, the animations are phenomenal and brimming with teariffic particle effects. Plus, the death animation is surprisingly unique and actually kind of heartbreaking; you lose your soul and revert back to a basic teapot. What really makes this skin absolutely brew-tea-full though? The fact that your teapot head has a mustache. Yep. The derpy appeal is strong with this one.
