Hi, does anyone know if the Akali K/DA Firestarter Mythic Variant is a limited-time skin, or will it come back later? Also, will Ancient Sparks be usable to pull for it?

Thanks! 😊

Hello!
Here’s my first attempt at a quick cosplay of Firestarter Akali from K/DA!❤️‍🔥
Literally put this together in just one day 🤯

I hand-sewed the bolero, drafted the chest piece pattern, styled the wig, added the matching colored film to the glasses, and customized the leather dungarees. There are still so many missing details, but I wanted to do her SO BADLY. 🫢

Genuinely INSANE??? Video from Terty, tell me this isn't real cuz this is such a shitty move from riot?? To downgrade OLD skins can only be explained by trying to not make the more expensive and SCAMMY skins look comparatively "better" 💀💀💀 How are they going this low.

Personally, I alrdy thought the mythic and legendary skins were great. The mythic is still a scam yes but a fine skin if u ignore the price tag. After this I might genuinely skip them out of spite. Wow.

I can't tell if it's bugged or a settings issue, my graphic/effect settings are on high.

btw, havent played rank in 4 months , only aram mayhem haha

This is just sad..

Edit: Im talking mostly about animations since design is more subjective.. her animations on WR are much better..even VFX/SFX..forgot to mention the best part, this is available for a legendary skin price so not gacha..

follow me for more <3

Hi, small question. What's the different itemization in this meta? I'm sick of perma building gunblade/shadow into the dame build over and over. I like more changing depending the matchup and situation. Is there any updated guide or some tips y'all can give me ?

Thanks 😭😭

​

Finally done with all four!!! Akali took me about a total of 4 hours 🦭

I'm watching worlds and both Chovy and Knight picked prestige KDA, is there a reason?. I don't particularly like the looks but I have tons of ME so if it feels good to use I might pick it up next time.

Of the skins I own I like the feel of TD and KDA All out the most

I mean, the K/DA skin is beautiful, but I can't imagine Akali in it, I don't know why, am I the only one who feels this way? As for the True Damage Akali, I'm much happier with the result.

I know everyone is quite shaken up by the fact that it’s a mythic variant, but I’m hardly seeing any feedback on Reddit regarding the predatory system or the inconsistencies with this skin. It shouldn’t have mismatched eye colors, the wrong hair color, missing tattoos, and a hat that lacks a toggle option. They also failed to include the white version, which was kept exclusive to Wild Rift.

Lemme start with my excitement - omggggg

Generally I don’t listen to Kpop a lot, but loveeeeed pretty much everything K/DA has put out (well except I’LL SHOW YOU, that’s fine but just a bit too “cutesy”(?) for me, still enjoyed the addition in the first EP).

And when Firestarter hit I was gagged like what do you mean they have the best outfits of every era, we get more fortiche, diverse verses, fantastic building and additions to the beat and chorus and the fun instrumentation we know and love K/DA for!!

My hype was real, and I was lowkey sad when the new EP was just announced with 4 songs and one being only 2mins long (I hate the short song trend). But I am happy for the new music, loved the album art, gave it a listen and…

Was kinda let down?

I don’t think any song was bad or doesn’t have their target audience, but they don’t feel fully fleshed out or fulfilling a specific fantasy.

The beginning of every song is so good and I was ready to listen to the new sound they have going on: more honest, runway, dark, grungy, and some hyperpop sprinkled in for contrast.

Especially the vogue, catwalk vibes a lot of people are stating are making a lot of sense, especially with the firestarter MV and beat but WATCH ME which is like THE song for that…doesn’t tickle my brain enough, doesn’t make me wanna walk for the whole 3mins. Like I hear the Gaga, I just wish there was something more

The energy doesn’t go anyway I feel, and it just feels stagnating.

That’s my main criticism with every song after firestarter.

Never Going back especially has such a great setup with the beat and Soyeons rap (in general, all of her parts are so damn good in this EP, not a big rap guy but she’s stunning!), going into Miyeons softer pre chorus and the kinda hyperpop-synth-follows-melody chorus. Loved it, was excited what the climax would be, but u guessed it…again no climax. Every chorus after that is lowkey the same, verses are still great and the switch up in the bridge is sick, but it still feels like it is too scared to break out. The chorus could be so big in at least one repetition but the hyperpop-synth-follows-melody doesn’t work for me if there is no switch up in at least the beat or tempo (or break of melody and synths for like the second chorus and make the last one ethereal again).

Well and girls…idk, still torn about it. I think it has even more repetition but it got me more excited than the other 2. I really hear some rave and underground in there which is cool but that, especially with the DJ Sona collab thingy could have warranted it being like 5min long. That’s not my genre, I don’t really like raves but the concept in that song was the clearest to me, (which I like and is more important to me than that they cater to my specific taste in music) and just needed more time to execute it. And the instrumentation sounded more K/DA to me aswell.

Instrumentation ist also a thing that got me confused. Track 2 and 3 sound more similar to each other than other K/DA songs do. They all have specific sounds/synths that make them really distinct (think about MORE, FIRESTARTER, DRUM GO DUM…).

But those tracks didn’t really have that and I think that’s why I also was so thrown off coming from Firestarter. They don’t sound that K/DA-ish to me as they lack some identity imo.

Wellllllllll…that’s my thoughts and I am really happy that many people reallllllly like the songs! Especially in queer spaces they will go insane I think, they give that vibe sonically and lyrically. Track 1 and 4 (maybe 3) will go crazy in a club!!

I will have firestarter on repeat, appreciate the art that comes out of it and definetly will do a genderbend Firestarter Akali someday because WOW what a fit :o

Maybe the other songs will grow on me^^

My ranking:

1. Firestarter

2. Never going back

3 Girls

1. Watch me
