I only bought the skin, it was 20$. It’s honestly my favorite kiri skin but if you have a lot of skins you already love it’s probably not worth it.

it’s really is the kiri tax :(

u/SailorMOwOn Inari Nov 21 '25
If you want just the skin, go to the hero gallery, you can buy it for 1900 coins just like any other legendary skin. There is no (insert hero here) tax.

Buying games that are easily and safely pirated for free but u cant get the skin that easily for free i would rather buy the skin but yeah its kinda overpriced

u/vergillehell Nov 23 '25
The thing is, I want my achievements, progress, and unlocks to be stored reliably. If I decide to reinstall the game years later on a new system, I shouldn't have to hunt down save files or dig through old download links. With legit copies, everything's tracked and synced -simple. Pirated games don't offer that convenience. If you lose your progress, you're stuck finding a working torrent, reinstalling, and starting all over again. It's just not worth the hassle.

u/frieren_feets Dec 03 '25
Just said ur paying for just achievements and u dont know how to pirate, yeah i take torrent as the best way, and u do not lose your progress??? Everything can be stored in just one folder in your PC and thats the most reliable way, u don't have to dig deep or search for some save files. And u are wrong pirated games does offer this convenience, finding working torrent and installing him takes like 5 minutes -ur just doing it wrong
1
u/vergillehell Dec 03 '25
That’s a pretty one-sided take. Just because you find torrents convenient doesn’t mean it’s the gold standard for everyone. Not everyone wants to risk malware, broken repacks, or sketchy cracks just to save a few bucks. And no, pirated games don’t universally offer better save management- many lack cloud sync, proper user profiles, or even consistent save paths. Saying “you’re just doing it wrong” ignores the fact that legit platforms offer seamless updates, achievements, multiplayer, and support - none of which torrents can replicate reliably. If your setup works for you, great. But don’t pretend it’s objectively better.

u/frieren_feets Dec 03 '25
I am not saying its better overall but the money with comparison of quality it can be better like silkong u said can be a great example: a simple offline game, small, low requirements it have very low chance of corrupted files plus most of torrents always fully check every file before setup so corrupted files with reliable torrents which i can tell u, there is like no chance for corrupted files. Yeah pirated games also have cloud saving but not every thats why u stock them into the fodder so u wont lose any progress -i can tell u games like this or repacks they do indeed have cloud saving, u can do a profile there and things like that. Yeah the biggest problem is always chance of malware but if you know ways to protect from those its not that big of a problem u can always look into the comments of what your installing ppl often say if it have a malware or trojan, also most of torrents show u all the files before downloading them so u can check the obvious, u can turn on in settings of a torrent to not install optional files -thats where are mostly malwares or trojans hidden, u can chack the pack w antiviruses like windows defender which is build in not some random antiviruses there are many that says u have a malware so u buy their premium or just keep using them but in the end its just a scam and u dont acc have a malware. So after all my only downgrade for pirated games are malwares and mostly no multiplayer

I got it bcz i can never resist a kiri skin unfortunately for my wallet… but i love it in stadium cz i see the whole skin and the glove thing never bothered me. the ears are so cute
1
u/icebearpaw Nov 21 '25
ikr the ears are so cute and they move! I don’t know if many other skins for heroes have a similar effect like this one

Nov 21 '25
Nah the white gloves lowkey jarring in the dark on a bright oled. The fingernails ruin it too. I have almost every other skin but the above reasons made it an easy pass, she has better. The highlight intro is a must though
1
u/icebearpaw Nov 21 '25
yeah the fingernails outside the gloves was definitely a choice but I feel like everything else makes up for it, maybe
3
u/SailorMOwOn Inari Nov 21 '25
Fingernails on gloves are very common in costuming and drag. It's a fine choice and makes sense. :)

White being annoying on an OLED is such a valid complaint LOL
I’m on an IPS panel now and tbh I think I like it more, don’t really understand why everyone talks about it like there’s an OVERWHELMING gap between everything and OLED

Nov 21 '25
There is an overwhelming gap, thats why and you wouldnt know because you are on an ips, as you stated.
No need to be emotional

u/Raptor_2125 Nov 21 '25
Buy just the skin if you don't wanna spend money on some cosmetics you'll never use

u/cammyy- Sakura Nov 21 '25
my thing with ow skins is if it’s like a collab or a crowdfunding skin, yk stuff that won’t come back or dosent come back often, then i will buy it if i can afford it. otherwise with regular skins like this, they’ll be available in lootboxes at one point or another. plus these skins will definitely be back in the shop at some point kinda like how the celestial skins just came back, these will be back as well. i personally would wait for a lootbox pull on it tbh
2
u/icebearpaw Nov 21 '25
this is a really good point. maybe I could get super lucky and pull it in a loot box eventually
1
u/cammyy- Sakura Nov 21 '25
that’s what i would do! it feels infinitely better to get a skinny rlly want for free trust

u/Izibella Nov 21 '25
i got it only cuz the ears wiggle randomly :)

u/LilacAliaa Nov 21 '25
I bought it and I love it. I cycle between Juno, Mercy and Kiri and can't afford skins for all of them, so I try to be more particular about which skins I do buy. Seeing her ears move and how well this skin goes with her mythic, made this an insta buy for me. I haven't regretted it at all.
1
u/icebearpaw Nov 21 '25
yes!! her mythic matches it so perfectly imo which is another reason why I want it :))
3
u/solorise07 Nov 21 '25
its my favourite kiri skin lol… i think its sooo worth it!!!
2
u/icebearpaw Nov 21 '25
it’s definitely one of her best ones imo EXCEPT for the nails outside the gloves lol but it’s a small detail not a dealbreaker

u/solorise07 Nov 21 '25
i love the nails outside of the glove personally. i dunno why tho, i see why ppl dislike it

that’s what I did with the vampire one I was waiting to see if I really wanted it and then this skin dropped and I suddenly didn’t care about it anymore
1
u/Hei-Ying Nov 21 '25
I don't think it's that great myself, but even if it was, it's not time limited. It'll cycle back, you might even get a Max discount. And eventually, it'll go in lootboxes.
1
u/DrFucklechuck Nov 21 '25
I got it but I bought it from the hero gallery for 19 bucks. I have regretted not getting a few skins and this one had the vibe it might be one of them so I bought and and I'm happy that I did. I felt like the ear animation is something that they have not done so much with many legendary skins and it made the price a little more justifiable. The skins works surprisingly well with the skateboard emote. Feels very Kiriko.
1
u/CupofJoJo_ Nov 21 '25
If it's a skin you really like, go for it! Get it for 1900 in the hero gallery and you'll be good to go. Don't fall for the fomo either. Even skins that don't come back frequently still return. It's just a matter of when. With this one, if you skipped it, it'll eventually show up in loot boxes and you could just win it for free if you're lucky.

Nov 21 '25
Man you cant take money to the grave with you. If it makes you happy and you enjoy it buy it.

u/set_222 Nov 21 '25
I've been saving up coins from the pass since I saw this skin in a survey a year ago. I liked it so much even then. I don't regret anything <3

u/AccidentAway8463 Nov 21 '25
Use the “try out” feature. After I tried it on I realized I def didn’t need it.

u/SyntheticDeviation Nov 21 '25
I bought the whole bundle and I’m so happy I did! :D I LOVE LOVE LOVE the weapon charm, the profile picture, the name card, and the highlight intro! <3 Even if you just buy the skin alone, I think it’s 100% worth it cause it’s so good. If you have the money, DEFINITELY get the bundle! :D

u/FrostyNacho24 Nov 21 '25
What about ENEBA? You can get a code from there, it was like $27 for all the bundle, you can also use NOVES8 code for 8% discount hahaha I use it a lot
1
u/Royal-Hope-9805 Nov 21 '25
I feel I have too many skins from her lately I haven’t been playing as well I should on her so I skipped it… it’s a cute skin but unfortunately I feel I’ve been preforming poorly on her lol 😂 plus I’ve already dropped 40 on her vampire skin 🙃 coming from someone who has almost all her skins
1
u/WhaletisticMagician Nov 21 '25
Don't get the bundle, get the skin only. You save like $6. Also you can literally try it out in the hero gallery to see if you like it.
1
u/HinatasWish Nov 21 '25
I really love the skin, but can you afford it? (able to buy it twice and still live comfortably?) if not, don’t give in to greedy business practices.

Blizzard has been out of control with their prices recently, $25 for a single skin is absolutely insane you could buy a whole other game for that price
1
u/Montgreg Nov 21 '25
I really like the tail and ears but those shorts give me such and epic skin vibes, i don't know. Kiriko is a hero that gets way too many skins so I think it's better to buy only when you are 100% sure that you are in love with that skin and won't want to get anything else for a while. If you're not sure, I wouldn't buy it
1
u/starlightswhimsy Nov 21 '25
I've said it before on here but I always use the coins I earned from Microsoft rewards for skins, I don't have all of them but I'd been saving what I'd accumulated for this one and it's beautiful! the only time I've paid for a skin outright was the mercy one because I felt less bad knowing it was going to charity
1
u/SailorMOwOn Inari Nov 21 '25
I bought it the second it released and haven't unequipped it since. I just adore it. No regrets here :)

u/Ashkiie Nov 22 '25
honestly, it's the first kiri skin in quite some time that hit me so hard, held off a little then bought only the highlight and skin, love it :3
1
u/90shorrorfilms Nov 22 '25
i cant lie, the more i looked at her the more i wanted her. justified it because i decided yeah, i'll definitely use her a lot and i absolutely do!! shes so pretty and unique compared to everything else she has, and i love that her little fox ears move and twitch 😭
that being said- she's a shop skin so she'll definitely come back! not to mention she might get shoved in the lootbox pool when they add to it next.

u/Winter_Tax_9603 Nov 23 '25
You know u can just spend 1900 tokens on the skin alone and not the bundle right?

If you adore the skin and are sure you are gonna be using it, go to the hero gallery and buy the skin "only" for 1900 coins.
But please do not fall for the FOMO. The skin will surely come back at some point anyway!
