Castle skins in lords mobile allow you to change the appearance of your castle. Not only are some of them pretty cool looking, but they also provide some nifty boosts. The boosts from the skins are passive, which mean, they get applied to your stats once you purchase them, even if the skin is not on.
Most castle skins can be purchased ranging from $9.99 to $99.99, while some of them are made available only for special events. In addition to purchasing the skin you also need to upgrade them using star scrolls. The number of star scrolls varies by the skin and current level. Using more star scrolls increases the chance of upgrade of the skin.
This article covers the best Lords Mobile battle skins in terms of attack stats, as well the cost to purchase them, and the total number of star scrolls required with a 100% chance to fully upgrade it.
Update : Added total war stats & total cost of upgrading all skins.

Are Castle Skins Worth Getting?
Castle Skins are relatively costly to upgrade compared to the boosts they provide. Most people will purchase 1-2 skins, just to change the appearance of their castle for fun. If you are a casual p2p player, there are better things to purchase compared to skins for getting stas.
However, for heavy P2P players & titans who have their accounts maxed otherwise, the additional boosts are very useful, specially since they are passive stats
I would recommend maxing out the skins which give ATK stats first. Also applying stars one by one to skins gives better stats for the same number of stars, compared to upgrading one skin to max stars.
List of Best Castle Skins
1. Dragon Manor ($99.99)
- Star Scrolls : 3255
- Army ATK +10%
- Rng DEF +10%
Dragon Manor is one of the costliest skins in the game, however it provides the highest boost giving a 10% army attack. It is also one of the best looking skins and is definitely quite popular with players.
2. Treasure Galleon ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 2080
- Cav ATK +10%
- Rng ATK +10%
Treasure Galleon is another one of the very popular skins. It provides a 10% attack boost for range & cavalry and its price and star scroll requirements are not as high as Dragon Manor.
3. Pearl Coast ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 2080
- Cav ATK +10%
- Rng ATK +10%
Another option favored by many, Pearl Coast has the exact same stats and cost as the Treasure Galleon.
4. Forbidden Hall ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 2080
- Inf ATK +10%
- Rng ATK +10%
Same as the above two skins in cost, but with infantry & range boosts.
5. Owl Outpost ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 2080
- Inf ATK +10%

Same stats & cost as forbidden hall, but somehow I haven’t seen many people use it.
6. Blazing Fortress ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 2080
- Inf ATK +10%
- Cav ATK +10%
Same cost & stats as the other skins above but with infantry and cavalry boosts. Pretty fierce looking and another one of the really popular options.

- Star Scrolls : 2080
- Coalition Size (Wonder) +50000
- Wonder Travel Speed +10%
Lion Keep is the only skin in the game which provides boosts for wonder battles. It increases your coalition army size for wonder battles by 50,000 when fully upgraded. Would recommend getting this if you are aiming to defend forts.
9. Shadow Keep ($99.99)
- Star Scrolls : 2080
- Army HP +10%
- Cav DEF +10%
Although one of my favourite looking skins and comes with a decent boost, it’s pretty pricey at $99.99 to be worth the boosts.
10. Frozen Flight ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 1255
- Cav ATK +10%
- Cav HP +10%
Frozen Flight is one of the newer skins in the game. It gives a 10% ATK & HP boost for cavalry. It’s a decent boost, but I would recommend working on it after upgrading the skins with 2 troop type boosts.
11. Sacred Temple ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 1255
- Cav ATK +10%
- Cav HP +10%
Sacred Temple has the same stats and cost as Frozen flight.

22. Ancient Pyramid ($19.99)
- Star Scrolls : 665

Although this skin is incredibly popular, and relatively cheaper compared to others, the 10% Cav HP boost is not so great. Would recommend upgrading after other skins which provide attack boosts.
23. Childhood Playground ($19.99)

Same stats and price as above, but with Inf HP instead.

28. Faerie Toadstool ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 835
- Rng HP +10%
- Familiar Training Exp +10%
Same cost with a range HP boost and and familiar training lvl exp boost. Prioritize based on what you need the most.
29. Steam Shack ($29.99)
- Star Scrolls : 835
- Cav HP +10%
- Merging Speed (Skillstones) +10%
Gives a Cav HP boost and skillstone merging speed boost. Not highly impressive.
30. Fantasy Palace ($19.99)
- Star Scrolls : 585
- Rng HP +10%
- Construction Speed +10%
Gives 10% Range HP boost with construction speed. Not so useful in the later stages of the game, unless you like the bubblegum pink theme.
31. Cirque Du Sourire ($99.9)
- Star Scrolls : 5830
- Enemy Army DEF -3%
- Enemy Army HP -3%
This reduces the enemy DEF & HP by 3%. The skin is very costly to purchase and also uses a ridiculous amount of star scrolls.
32. Gilded Citadel ($99.9)

- Army DEF +10%

Gilded Citadel is very costly to purchase and only provides defence boosts, not worth the scrolls or the price.
33. Island Paradise ($19.99)
- Star Scrolls : 300
- Rng DEF +10%
- Monster Hunt Dmg Boost +10%
This skin gives a range defence boost which is not very useful. But Island Paradise also comes with a monster hunting boost and uses very few scrolls to upgrade.
34. Arctic Base ($19.99)
- Star Scrolls : 420
- Cav DEF +10%
- Gathering Speed +20%
Arctic Base gives a cav def boost and gathering speed, probably not worth it.
35. Mystic Mansion ($19.99)
- Star Scrolls : 420
- Inf DEF +10%
- Army Capacity +10%
A very elegant looking skin, but only comes with Inf DEF boosts and increased army capacity. Not worth purchasing unless for the looks.

- Resource Production +5%
Free skin that comes by default for every castle. The boosts are not so great, can skip upgrading unless f2p.
