PROJECT: Sivir

First time I saw PROJECT: Sivir in the loading screen I thought it was a completely different champion. Not even joking. The silhouette reads so differently from base Sivir that my duo asked me what champ I locked in. The whole cyberpunk overhaul works surprisingly well on a champion whose kit revolves around throwing a giant blade boomerang. Something about the neon-edged crossblade cutting through a teamfight just hits right.

What the PROJECT skin actually changes on Sivir

So this is an Epic tier skin at 1350 RP. Voice lines stay base, no new VO. What you get is a full model redesign that turns Sivir into a sleek cybernetic operative with that signature PROJECT aesthetic. The crossblade becomes this glowing energy weapon that leaves light trails when you throw Q. Honestly not gonna lie, the Q animation feels smoother with this skin. Could be placebo but I swear the boomerang blade reads cleaner against dark Rift backgrounds.

Her W ricochet bounces have this subtle digital particle effect. Nothing overwhelming but enough to notice in lane when you’re pushing waves. The auto attacks feel crisp. Been running this in Diamond for maybe 40 games this season and the auto-cancel timing just feels natural with the animation.

E spell shield gets a hexagonal barrier overlay. Clean visual. You know what surprised me? How visible the spell shield is to teammates. Had a support last Tuesday tell me they could actually see when my shield was up, which almost never happens with base Sivir. R activation has a tech-pulse ripple that spreads outward. Not the flashiest ult VFX but it communicates the movement speed buff clearly to your team during engages.

No new recall animation though. Standard for Epic tier. Kinda feels like Riot could have added one given how much effort went into the model, but thats just me being greedy.

The PROJECT line and where Sivir fits

PROJECT is one of Riot’s longest running skinlines. Sivir slots into it naturally. The ADC fantasy of a precise, calculated fighter maps perfectly onto the cyberpunk soldier vibe. She stands alongside PROJECT: Vayne, PROJECT: Ashe, and PROJECT: Jinx in the marksman category of the line.

No splash artist credited in the data for this one, which is unusual for the PROJECT series. The splash itself is solid though. Sivir mid-throw with the city skyline behind her, neon reflections on the blade. (Random aside: this splash was my Discord avatar for like three months straight.) The composition puts the crossblade front and center which is the right call for a champion defined by her weapon.

8 chromas available for PROJECT: Sivir. Obsidian is my go-to pick because the dark frame with minimal glow lines makes the blade VFX pop harder in lane. Rose Quartz surprised me, the pink tones actually read well against the Rift and dont look as out of place as you’d expect on a cyberpunk skin. Pearl exists for the clean minimalist look but I think it washes out some of the detail work on the model.

Shop has it. Permanent availability so no rush on picking it up.

How PROJECT: Sivir stacks up against her other skins

Real talk though. Sivir has a deep skin catalog now. Pizza Delivery is the meme pick. Odyssey has the sci-fi angle covered too. Blood Moon goes hard on the thematic. Where PROJECT: Sivir wins is the modern model quality combined with clean ability readability. For ranked specifically this matters. Been maining Sivir with this skin in solo queue and the Q tracking is noticeably easier on my eyes during chaotic late-game teamfights.

Against other Epic tier options like Cafe Cuties or Solar Eclipse, I think PROJECT edges them out on gameplay clarity. Solar Eclipse looks gorgeous in the splash but the in-game model can blend into certain map skins. PROJECT’s neon contrast avoids that problem entirely.

One thing I noticed around season 12 or 13, dont remember exactly – Sivir mains on Reddit were split between this and Odyssey as the best competitive skin. Fair warning, it comes down to preference. If you want flashy and colorful go Odyssey. If you want sharp and readable for climbing, PROJECT: Sivir is the pick.

Should you buy it?

Verdict time. 1350 RP feels fair for what you get. The model is clean, abilities read well in game, and the PROJECT aesthetic ages better than most thematic lines. Not the best Sivir skin full stop but it’s top three easy. Worth 1350 RP if you main Sivir or play her regularly in your ADC rotation. Skip it if you already own Odyssey and only play Sivir occasionally. For one-tricks though this belongs in your collection. Seen maybe 5 of these in my games all season which means you wont be running into mirror skin matchups in bot lane either. That alone is worth something.
