LoL 10.22 brings new K/DA ALL OUT skins that players can test on the PBE ahead of their full launch later this month: K/DA ALL OUT Seraphine (3250 RP), K/DA ALL OUT Ahri (1350 RP), K/DA ALL OUT Akali (1350 RP), K/DA ALL OUT Evelynn (1350 RP), K/DA ALL OUT Kai’Sa (1350 RP), and K/DA ALL OUT Kai’Sa Prestige Edition (2000 Event Tokens).

K/DA ALL OUT Seraphine is an ultimate skin that begins as its Indie version, evolving through to Rising Star and Superstar as you complete missions.

Each Form has unique VFX, animations (recall, dance), an animated splash in the Client, VO (some overlap and some unique per Form), SFX, and a new reactive music system based on how many allies are nearby (each Form of Seraphine has a different track) [2/2]

Here is a series of turnaround images that showcase each skin from Riot KateyKhaos:

The in-game look of K/DA ALL OUT Evelynn’s hair won’t be able to reflect that of her promotional art, which will be changed to reduce discrepancy. Here’s why:

This is due to both rig + animation limitations - her rig lacks the bones for a long, flowly hair style + this style would cause significant clipping throughout many of her animations, none which could be minimized without legendary-tier animation work - essentially new animation

Further changes are on the way for the MOBA’s newest set of skins:

We've read all your thoughts and feedback over the past week and made some changes. We can't always take every suggestion, needing to balance between differing opinions and what's possible during the PBE window but hope these updates will feel good! pic.twitter.com/WYILs5tYjE
