Kayle has many best skin contenders, but only one metal enough to win || Best & Worst Skins 

Not calling it “PentaKayle” was the biggest sin riot has ever committed

Shoutout to Silver Kayle and Tribunal Kayle for having the most gorgeous splasharts you will never get

Surprised you didn't mention Sun Eater Kayle. It has a killer aesthetic with the whole 'biblically accurate angel' thing, at least to me. I'm actually curious about your thoughts on it now.

I'm quite a sucker for that color palette on the Iron Inquisitor skin tho

I still laugh during the very first Pentakill music video where everyone from the band does something spectacular and offered something in the song, but Kayle just... she just lands from the sky and did nothing but fly the entire music video. She did not sing. She did not play an instrument. She just lands... at the END of the song XD

Aether Wing was done so dirty after Kayle's rework. Legendary skins are supposed to give a nigh-full VGU to the champ, but Aether Wing's animations are literally the same as base Kayle without the flapping wings. It's only saving grace are the hilarious voice lines of Kayle trying way too hard to be a space cop, but that should've been on Riot Kayle anyways. Speaking of Riot Kayle, I'm surprised it didnt get a mention. It has amazing effects and a fitting concept for being a regular-priced skin.

Inquisitor remains the best Kayle concept to date... sad that they didn't explore that world further

Sun Eater is another strong contender honestly. Like I have at least 7 Kayle skins, all of which I like a lot (and two of them being in this video). So when I got Sun Eater I thought "eh, I'll use it once and forget about it to go back to Pentakill" but I actually loved it and it became another one in my Kayle skin rotation.

My guy just likes Fallen Angel Goth Metalist GF and I’m here for it

Suneater has a special place in my heart. It looks awesome, and listening to Lorna Shore while playing it turns it up to 11

Iron inquisitor is my favorite because she doesn't lose her helmet when she levels up. I'm really disappointed that riot doesn't give us an option to put a helmet on like kai'sa or like aatrox's banner wings. If we could, I would've bought sun eater kayle in a heart beat! Its so cool but is brought down by the fact she takes it off.

Can't wait to see Riot Kayle appear on the next short

personally i have the biggest attachment to the "Justiciar Kayle" which used to be handed out for free back in the day when you went a whole year without getting reported.

I'll never forgive them for changing Aetherwing Kayle. The old design and animations were amazing and it's all gone.

aether wing feels like a mid execution of what gabriel ultrakill was going for (and achieved)

Judgement Kayle has always been my favorite simply because it was my first ever skin and I used it alot maining Kayle back in the day

Personally my favorite Kayle skin is Viridian Kayle, I love turning a winged angel into a fairy asthetic

RIOT NOT GIVING KAYLE A SKIN IN THEIR NEW FAIRY LINE IS A FUCKING TRAVESTY

Unmasked Kayle was truly the best skin. So simple, tied into the trailer, overall top notch.

It would easily be suneater if they didnt deny it the legendary making its in-game model limitations flop along with the lack of any specific dialogue making the immersion of the skinline entirely lacking

Personally, I would still put my vote for Inquisitor. The idea alone of a darker souls-like universe where Kayle performs the exact same role, highlighting how much far removed from being grey her character is, is enough for me, even if skin itself is lackluster. But I get that this channel is primarily about visuals, so I can't argue that Inquisitor can't beat Pentakill without it's armour being an iron maiden that opens up into spiked wings, or relaying story of an Ashen One by starting Kayle in default rags and ascending into some decorated armour.

Pre-Rework it was Aether Wing just because it had a real auto attack animation but post rework yeah Pentakill slaps harder than it probably should.

I got Pentakill Kayle in a chest and thought "Oh that looks cool! Let's play it" and I immediately fell in love. Kayle has been my main toplaner ever since.

I really like Psy Ops Kayle with her transparent wings and atack sounds

I agree with everything said in this short, but I gotta say I also love Sun Eater a whole lot. Yeah maybe it's not something super new or subversive but damn it looks cool and I'm so biased for that aesthetic

Iron Inquisitor Kayle splash art is just so beautiful. I don't really like the skin, but the transformation feel of the splash art is amazing.

Excellent misdirect with the thumbnail. I was on the edge of my seat until the end for this one 🤘

Pentakill Kayle was a skin of music fan becoming star looong before KDA Seraphine came out, we gotta respect that

that pentakill skin gave me brutal legend vides

My favorite is the old aether wing kayle, it hits different to me

Sun Eater would have been the best if she didn't get robbed by a random mercenary that broke the lore.

I’ve said it before: Pentakill needs a rival band consisting of other champions, and Morgana should mirror Kayle as a vocalist…she would already “fill” that niche as an Evanescence / Within Temptation symphonic vocalist to serve as counter to Kayle’s Metallica / punk aesthetic.

Back in 2013, I played her as a main. Then I stepped away from the game because of toxicity. I'd bitched at for everything. But seeing these rather kickass costumes makes that little bit of nostalgia for her kick up in my heart. I do miss being able to solo lane.

I mainly only play with Riot Kayle, as there is nothing better than the 'Bonk' when you are close range 😂

Solar eclipse kayle, that one with biblically accurate wings? Like, that skin is awesome

Meanwhile sun eater kayle: "*am I a joke to you?!?*"

We need a skinline for Techno music

I like Riot Kayle. The goofy sirens are just fun on all of them

lets be honest. the original pentakill skins are the best skins for all champs. sona, olaf, mordekaiser, kayle and yorick. all of them peaked during pentakill

Before I even finish the video i gotta say its the police skin... Thr weewoweewo sound is hilarious

Iron inquisitor was comparatively better on pre rework Kayle

Yes! Kayle just happens to have so many great skins. I always struggle to choose one whenever I pick her. Not only the evolution concept throughout the skin line is cool, but also splash arts. Granted some skin execution may not deliver the idea well enough, but you're not going to spend an entire game looking at her 3D model, no?

Aether Wing is the typical choice but those voice lines are so funny and the lore is awesome. She's an interstellar Judge Dredd. It's great

The aether wing splash art is fucking amazing

Aether wing was so good, the animations were great and then the visual update completely screwed it

This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for putting it on the internet for the world to enjoy as well. Wishing you and them all the best! (In every universe)

i really like sun-eater kayle, you go from just an ashen husk with a veil to full sun god

ALSO Tear of the Goddess is so underrated. That shit needs a music video

I feel like the rework came with a huge downgrade to some great skin concepts like Aether Wing and Inquisitor, while Pentakill was barely changed (fortunately) they only added the new forms, but I miss the chainsaw sound effect on the old E :(

I'm still on inquisitor and judgement Kayle.

Old Aether Kayle's E sfx hit like a truck though.

Just sayin, if they did turbine propellers in aether wing, it would slap

Aether Wing should've just been "Legally Distinct Gundam Wing"

For me personally the inquisitor Kayle’s Color scheme just slaps. Also cool mask ye

I like the new Pentakill Kayle because it makes sure that everyone knows when she leveled up lol is so powerful!

Engagement!

my favorite kayle skin is the Psyops one from wearing a hood and mask to showing her face more and more~ plus pretty colors!

Iron inquisitor is my favorite Kayle skin and one of my favorite skins in the game

I actually really like riot kayle and feel like people don’t give it enough attention. I think what they did with her wings in that skin is really creative. Also, wee woo.

This is like discovering Paine in Final Fantasy X-2. Suddently having a goth punk lady in a high fantasy environment was such a delight!

Pentakill Kayle gets that sick hand bang recall too where she rocks out. Her E gets a cool riff too. Definitely one of my favorite skins

Pentakill Kayle also being created in the image of my favorite female metal singer makes it one of my favorite skins ever.

Aether Wing is a fun idea, but I kinda like the pre-rework Kayle version of it more. Instead of "Angel-inspired anime power armor" she's an Avatar of Technology, Progress, and Order, this angelic spirit of the concept of invention. The ultimate White-Blue character, for the Magic fans out there. It was neat. Also she had some of *the best* lines from that time period. "Dust in the clockwork" slays as an attack line.

Mine has to be Iron Inquisitor, i just love the aesthetic

I have all 3 of these and it's so damn hard to choose which one to play every game

She also has a hairstyle that her vocalist, Noors, used to wear back then c:

Every Kayle skin is great mainly because by design they have to put more effort and thought into them due to her changing appearance while leveling. Some of them are a little bit lazy with it but most of the time it ends up being cool as hell, it makes every skin feel a bit like it's in-between an epic and a legendary

Viridian Kayle goes BONKERS

sun eater kayle would be the best if it got the legendary instead of sivir, i am super partial to the more eldritch angel vibe so iron inquisitor and sun eater are massive favourites of mine

Aether Wing will probably always remain my personal fave.

Judgement kayle gives dark souls boss growing from a mindless npc

Sword where the pommel is a microphone...ok that rock's on so many levels.

I loooove the splash art and colours in Iron Inquisitor as well, but I feel her model doesn't deliver. But I honestly just really like Kayle and she has a lot of good skins so while Iron Inquisitor or maybe Sun Eater are my favorites, I can't be mad with Skyen's pick

if they make aether wing kyle like the old splash art of aether with that's gonna be awesome.

Kayle has had plenty of mileage as far as skins go, and no arguments about pentakill being her best one out of her entire lineup.

The whole pentakill skin line but especially this one just makes me think- *_CRAWLIN' BY THE SEA OF BLACK TEARS, GIVE YOUR SOUL TO ME!!_*

I like Riot Kayle. It turns her wings into aircraft engines, and looks pretty unique.

Okay but Iron Inq really pulls out that distinct feeling of roman catholism. Like an all-knowing judgement that is undeniably ready to present sick justice ((the splash))

Her attack projectile on the iron inquisitor feels really good

Iron inquisitor in concept was what would make me main Kayle but I guess I couldn’t have the ability to be relevant the first 11 lvls

Okay, but Sun Eater Kayle is so fucking cool and I love it to death

sun eater is the best fo sure

Bro the first one is definitely El Shaddoll Kayle

Pentakill Kayle has an amazing recall animation aswell! Not very elaborate, but it rocks (literally)!

Old Aether Kayle in-game has the best effects btw...

Veridian is my favorite kayle skin, I like how it turns her into a zelda style elf princess. And Aether wing would be cool if it's Voice over wasn't space judge dredd.

Both Pentakill and Lost chapter skins for are just MWAHH 💜💜

Honestly riot kayle is up there too. Those helicopters wings rock

I started thinking about the best one as the video started and thought "pentakill?" And when he also agreed, I thought I fucking said it

I knew it would be Pentakill after you showed Aether Wing and said no

My only gripe with the skin is the hair, but this is my favorite pentakill skin.

iron inquisitor kayle's splash is super cool

Iron inquisitor is my favourite just because of the wings bcs they are this bloody red colour when the passive is active and when shes lvl 16

They really copped out on aether wing, if they weren't cowards they would have taken the sword full Gundam beam saber. You could have even done the whole "grab a second saber from the backpack" thing for the two swords

I agree full heartedly. Pentakill Kayle was the skin that got me to try Kayle for the first time. o3o👍

Her best skins are the ones with default emotes, because she can just sit and rest near fire in those

Technically Rammstein is Industrial rather than metal, but it's close enough to bring up that they actually rocked flaming wings on stage.

Ngl, i thought the best was the one which a terrifying biblically accurate angel

iron inquisitor's splash art is by far my favorite in the game

That “Mmh” did something to me
