Rapid-Fire Skin Review: Wild Rift Star Guardians & Elderwood 

Another thing to note about SG Orianna is that she has a unique walking and idle animation, that alone makes her an 8/10 in my book, the skin looking really nice bumps it to a 9.2/10

5:02 "Naafiri has been revealed, my plates are about to be full" Completely understandable, the design looks fabulous

3:11 I believe Riot has said in the past that they have lost some of the original voices of older champions (i.e. without voice filters), like Orianna and Syndra. That's why their more "human" skins keep the filter, like pool party Syndra

I don't think every WR skin needs to be ported but I don't think there's any harm in it either. Orianna having new animations attached to it gave me so much envy that I'm extremely happy that it's here on pc

My tinfoil hat theory as to why Senna was split up from the group is: Riot wanted to put them all together, but Senna was taking a little bit too long. They could have put them all together in next patch, but they didn't wanna distract from Soul Fighter, and + they didn't have much for the Elderwood Patch. So since Senna was taking a bit too long, instead of the delaying the batch of skins until after the Soul Fighter event (and risk the Sera stans unleashing their wrath), they had to just delay Senna by one patch to make it work. Or Riot just hates Senna lol

The hand on the staff is supposed to represent how greed got karthus to get infected by the decaying power of the covenant. Its symbolism for him trying to grasp for powers he should have never had!

got here bc of nicky's cellphone alarm what's good

To play devil's advocate just a little bit on Elderwood, I think it's really good that they just periodically do a couple of skins here and there. So far I feel like it's kept consistency up when compared to bigger reruns like High Noon, Project, Cosmic, etc. This most recent two for Karthus and Wukong didnt feel like a quota building out skins for the patch, it felt like they had really good ideas for skins worked on them and just dropped them when they were ready. For my money as well they are easily the best skins for both Wukong and Karthus.

I’ve got two things to say: -Thank you for the JoJo reference. A friend recently convinced me to watch it and after a month I’ve finished 3 parts and going on to the forth. I appreciate it. -The stab at the Lego Ninjago movie is absolutely valid. That thing insults me almost as much as the Percy Jackson movies.

As an Orianna main I'm glad Seraphine stans exist because thank to them I'm getting the Orianna skin that I really wanted and redemeed Rakan which is also insanely cool. Thanks Sera stans, be annoying, do crime!

Honestly i dont think either should get exclusives let everyone have the same stuff. Nilah hasnt gotten a skin sense her release and its WR exlusive. I think everyone should be able to enjoy the sake stuff.

I always wonder if there's ever a small amount of creatives working at riot regretting ever creating seraphine in the first place with all of the drama it's brought everyone on the community

as a karthus enjoyer i really like this new skin. another one where the skittles are easier to see than base but that’s to be expected atp. really like the hand staff too, dfg vibes like you said. …phantom is still his best skin tho

honestly sg seraphine is so unpolished and full of problems that aren't ignoreable (the stage on the homeguard, no second familiar on homeguard, no particle effects on the E when they could just get her indie kda one that's the same thing but better, some animation transition errors, etc) really set a bad precedent for the next wr ports. honestly surprised she got that high of a score, her W does kinda carry the whole skin tho.

3:20 Omg not a Ninjago reference 😂Definitely wasn't expecting that one. One of the most traumatic scenes I ever watched as a kid, when he realised he's a nindroid 😭

Rapid-Fire Skin Review for the Recall Tree when?

Man I love the editing on this one. I made me spit my drink 3 times. Well done!

Bruh, if the LoR corrupted ascendend skins come to league it would be INSANE

the corrupt skins would be so good oh man. I want them so bad. Also why not; uncorrupted skins for the darkin would also be sick.

Nicky when he has to review a seraphine skin: 0:02

I think if Wild Rift wants more exclusive content/skins they should keep up with creating Wild Rift exclusive skin lines. Star Guardian started out on PC first, so I think it’s justified to be upset that some SG skins didn’t make it to PC (I’m not defending harassment or threats that the devs received, that is wrong and no one should ever send death threats over a video game cosmetics) But I think skin lines like Stargazers, Psychic Detectives, and Superheroes should stay on Wild Rift. Because these skins themes are unique to Wild Rift. But thats just my hot take.

god elder wood karthas looks so fucking cool how the hell did they make it work its such a weird skin line for karthus to be in and yet somehow its easily his best one

Good to see my boi karthus getting an amazing skin

Unfortunately, Ori will always have a robotic voice because Riot lost the original sound file without the filter. Same goes for Syndra and Kalista. Not sure why they don't just bring her va back

I really liked the Elderwood Wukong I think he fits the theme pretty well, but, after seeing how cool Soul Fighter is and knowing how Wukong is a trouble maker fighter guy in his lore, damn... That would be pretty cool too

they need to add bewitching vex

Oh, I would love to see the stargazer skins for PC lol. I'm just a sucker for these skins that have an astronomic/astological aesthetic

Seraphine mains really are the most scary mains out of everyone.

The new karthus skin is the skin I never knew i needed

Hopefully riot keep making more exclusive skin in wr I play both so I can enjoy both and wr need fresh stuffs too I don't get hyped when old skin from pc come to wr

Istg the best thing Wild Rift has is the reworked Karma. I know they did that so it is more compatible with the mobile version of the game, but the WR changes to her kit would undoubtedly make her a better champ in league as well, if imported.

For being a weird mish-mash of skins, the quality is always top-tier and these are really great. Star Guardian Orianna and Seraphine are definitely my favorite skins out of all the Star Guardian skins, I just really like their designs.

Ninjago’s falling off was literally marked by them giving Zane a robot voice. Like an imprinted time-stamp saying “alright you don’t need to watch anymore.”

two nickyboy videos in one week!Am i dreaming?

as a seraphine main i was suprised you gave it 8/10 the skin is very disappointing and her e is a worst version of kda rising star i think the skin is like 5 or 6 out of 10

I lovee when zane realized he's a robot

i must say that your editing is one, if not the only one good and hilarious i've seen on youtube, not to much, effective and always funny

LMAO U took a pic from the county of Kinda in Sweden. I LOVE IT KEKW

Is that Cadence of Hyrule music I hear? Nickyboi truly is a man of culture

SO MUCH NICKYBOI CONTENT HELL YEAH

Kinda agree with the exclusivity of skins.

Ny thoughts on Wild Rift excusivity is that when it's a preestablished skin line like Star Guardian or Crystal Rose it'd be cool if they ported some of those over, but WR definitely deserves exclusive lines like Stargazer and Dream Detective

2:30 Apologies for the probably overdone asf comment but, wasn't Karthus' last skin the Pentakill one or am I just that out of the loop

Can't wait for Nicky to review the soul tournament skins

I‘m happy to get Orianna on pc, as I loved this skin when it first released, but I will not invest money also in wildrift. I think that every skin should be on every platform, at least between pc and wildrift (Lor is a completely different game, I don‘t hold a grudge for exclusivity there) Now we get the same problem with Soul fighter, where there are exclusive skins everywhere. Wildrift doesn‘t get any of the pc skins, and pc doesn‘t get either of Nilah or Irelia. It feels so much like a „fuck you“ for mains of the respective champs, to split there skin releases into two „different“ games. On a more positive note, I really love the Karthus and Wukong skins. Wu never really had a great one, and Underworld looks outdated now. Can‘t wait for the treemonkey

3:29 her familiar was tocker before the little legend was a thing.

Ma man forgot that Karthus got the Pentakill lost chapters skin.. and I wouldn’t blame him tbh

It's the forgetting that karthus got a skin for the pentakill lost chapter skinline, infernal wasnt the most recent

My fellow workers Welcome back to our favorite show Seraphine obtaining her 6th skin in a row that looks exacly the same as the other ones 6/6.6 god bless

While yes the battle academia wukong skin does suck in game, I see why people might like it as as it recontextulizes the champion from being monkey man to being an anime boy. Similar to arcana Xerath I like it when they do this as it might get some people more interested in playing the champion who other wise wasnt. I wish they would do the inverse more often however of turning the human champions into monsters as well.

When is wildrift coming to consoles like they promised damn

i mean, instead of riot having to release exlusive skins for each game how about they like... idk.. finish wild rift before releasing it? Idk just a thought.

They shouldve just done fewer Star Guardian skins and had both games have all of them. I'm glad Oriana finally got a 1350 skin that isn't limited availability and is actually good. (I don't like sfx on Dark Star and the Bee skins trigger me for being a dumb concept, sad that Snow Day is legacy and her only other skin worth buying imo is TPA which is also legacy)

1:10 is fucking accurate man lmaoooooooooo

I dont mind the exclusive skins but i dont like it when its an exclusive for a champ that didnt get a skin in league for over 2 years

Star Guardian was on PC first and foremost keeping skins from people who actually invested all their money on PC, is a bad decision in the first place. Hell I'm addicted to league never once I have bought anything on Wildrift nor play it more than 30 mins per 6 months. Legends of Runeterra on the other hand, I spent too much money on. Lor better than Wildrift.

personally the moment when i get my redemed xayah, i dont care about wild rift exclusives anymore

PENTAKILL KARTHUS ERASURE IN THE VIDEO 🍅🍅🍅

i lowk wish seraphines star guardian skin had more music in her sfx like it sounds really subpar compared to her base skin sound effects; tho maybe thats just me LOL

I wish they did a targon event with Naafiri and the skin line would be the corrupt darkin aspects and reverse darkin with Aatrox/Kayn etc.

i might be a bit biased since I'm a wr-only player but i much prefer having exclusive content. it's not like we're ever gonna have all of the content on league pc, we dont have a single ultimate skin (just ultimate chromas like jhin's, sold on gacha), we don't have "regular" chromas, there's not half of the skin lines... and it's not realistically possible. we're talking about mobile devices. i remember many people concerned about project mordekaiser possibly exploding their pcs, imagine that on phones. plus wr devs have stated that some skins will never be ported, like coven morgana. some skins get downgraded, like coven evelynn. i like having exclusivity to make up for those limitations. also, it's a different game, it's a different engine. the models were made from scratch. this is why gragas and malphite look fine on wr and they don't port it to pc, it's a different engine, it's not that simple. so skins for older champions would look like dogshit on pc and people would complain about it. pc seraphine mains sent literal death threats to devs while wr akali mains were like "oh we're not getting the sg? oh that's sad" and moved on. again, i may be biased, but i think pc players are spoiled and the majority are "core gamers" (ew) who are so loud about wr being "a stupid kids' game" just because it's mobile because GOD FORBID playing mobile games.

I want the Superhero skinline next Riot pls Jayce looks amazing in that tight suit

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on "them having their own exclusive skins". Imo, I think both should be, as Riot employees stated before, "exclusive... for a time and then shared". I believe this should go for BOTH versions of the game, IE skins should be exclusive on either platform for a while and then are eventually shared across the other platforms. That way you can have your cake and eat it too. You can have exclusives BUT also share them between different platforms and in a way, from a financial stand point, make more money overall.

I like the Elderwood Karthus skin but is it going to be shoehorned into the old god skin line like Nocturne and Ivern?

the fact the wr exclusives are coming into pc (except xayah and rakan) kinda piss me off like sure theyre good skins but the amount of harassment ppl received because of them is crazy, its so annoying seeing ppl complain about wr exclusives like we dont have thousands of skins we can pick from. They complain about wr being a worse version of league but then get mad when wr gets even a pinch of content every 2 months

It's also what happened to DC; They cave in, gave Zack Snyder a couple more mils to finish a supposedly finished movie. And now the "fans" started attacking people; An actor deactivated his socials, because of non stop harassment, all because he was fan casted as Superman. My crackpot theory is it makes people feel like they're doing something; Because Zack Snyder is friends with James Gunn, went to see the Flash, and making his own shit in Netflix. But his "fans" are still advocating on bringing back the "Snyderverse"; Which mostly consist of terrible to mid movies.

1:44 i don't know is this a meme, or real voting, but if its real, it show that people really like the "cute anime characters", so league will produce more cute skin, and more cute character:( No more badass or monster skin/champion Genshin effect are real

I really disagree with the wild rift exclusives take, it's not like Wild Rift is a fully different game like TFT, Legends of Runeterra, or Valorant. It's phone league of legends. Having exclusives in the same skinline is just weird to me. I guess though Im not really bothered when it's an entirely new skinline, it just feels weird that your favorite champ could get selected for a skinline that exists in pc but their version is just not in the game.

I mean, the staff is symbolic of his story...he over reach for power, a grasp of power for his staff is great

3:47--:57 waluigi, the most expressive character next to his partner in crime Wario not only is neglected by his creators, But just aswell by some of his fans who forget that being respectful is the best way to get what you want, or atleast more likely. "Wa does not chase the Spotlight, it chases where the Wa steps. I would think more than anyone the WAs would Know when to bomb things up and let them Be their own Dance of destruction."-Waluigi

If they are going to port Wild Rift skins, I would love to see bewitching vex next Halloween season

I will not stand for BA slander! those particles fuckin SLAPS!!

Imagine defending WR Exclusivity

I don't think there is a problem with porting the skins, exclusivity is shit, to me it sounds like "mom, only me can have this", I don't think having exclusives is a positive thing

I would love Star Guardian Orianna if it wasn't for the robotic voice with the same old lines that they haven't updated yet. I love the aesthetic, I love the dress, I love the familiar, I love everything about the skin EXCEPT that. I can't play it and listen to her same outdated lines with a robotic voice coming out of what is supposed to be a human girl. They should have made it a legendary skin and given her a regular voice that would fit

I just want Stargazer Twisted Fate on League PC. His best skin getting wasted on WR :(

All that i want is Space Groove Naafiri, i just want another pupper in the game.

Honestly, if they ever port those corrupted skins from LoR, I would buy them all in a heartbeat

Lego Ninjago reference, nice!

Well ocanha every league content is now canon including lor including chip 3:37

I’m upset they got a Zoe skin I will never have on pc

As a fan of darker evil skins, i wasnt too mad about not getting redeemed sg xayah and rakan (especially since i only rlly recently became kinda a xayah main) on SR because i just like them so much better. I love the voicelines and how sassy Xayah is and Rakan is as funny as ever. Of course redeemed r still gorgeous but again i think corrupted is the better one in my opinion

Ten seconds and I had a seizure, keep up the good work 👍

I am really confused, xayah and Rakan already have a SG skin, I even have Rakan’s.

Idk what Nicky has against battle academia , at least the first batch

You should make a Master Yi skins review

I can't remember what the skinline is called on Wild Rift something Detective I know Senna is in it but I want it in League because it has drip Nasus. My dog be looking good.

I think its cool thats wild rift have exclusive skins , but mannnnnnnnnn there's exclusive hit different and its sad we getting the star guardians , the are skins is good but we already have a lot of them in the PC , for me I would pick project zeri

Even tho Seraphine fan base is cringe. I like to point out this did make a good way for riot to port over WR skins. They’ll be listening to skin feedback more of what the **players** want. Cause after folks heard SG sera was getting ported over- they advocated for the other WR skins to come over. Which I think again in the long run will help much better of us getting good quality skins that we actually want for champs with more data aside from just the sales.

I would pay SO much money for Corrupted Diana and Leona.

5:10 DON'T WORRY. I AM ON MY WAY

Elderwood Wukong is the best thing to happen to Wukong mains.

i'm still loosing my [sticc] over karthus and his staff. his staff being a hand is the best part for me in that skin Monke be great too. strange as elderwood didn't settle with me at the start for some reason

Do a coven skin review

I don't really like exclusives bc if there is something I like and don't have any possibility to get it it makes me seething and malding.

As an Avid Ezreal enjoyer (a year ago) the complete dismissal of Battle Academia Ezreal (aka Goku) completely unacceptable please delete

I just bought Orbeeanna bro

I don't mind WR and LoR-exclusive skins, unless they're actually really cool, which in that case, please put them into League PC please. They'll be getting classic League PC skins anyway, so it's fair enough. Personally, I'd love to see SG Gwen, Bewitching Vex Worldbreaker Elise and Arcade Quinn find their way into League proper.

I think all wr exclusive skins should be in pc, except wr original skin lines.

In Battle Academia Wukong's defense, I believe he is liked so much because he changes the aesthetic of "monke" which none of the other skins do as much. Instead of "monke" he is a humanistic student with "monke" powers while the other skins are just "monke" but X. Elderwood does help make him more than just "monke" but in the end all i can see is still just "monke". monke
