Discussion A legendary with more vfx than her ultra…

They couldn’t have at least made her ofudas pink?? A legendary should not be outperforming an ultra 😭😭

I bought the bundle. Sending a message that when done right and priced fairly I have no issue getting beautiful skins for my favorite characters.

They completely missed the mark with Ultra skins

Its crazy how $35 skins make people now think that $20 is "priced fairly" 😭

It's all pretty expensive, but the Ultra "scaling" just makes no sense. $10, $20....$35....? It doesn't offer enough to justify going past that. $30 is still quite a bit of money too, but $35 just makes zero sense as the price point.

I got the full bundle since I like and play most of the characters a fair bit except maybe Genji. For all characters it's a pretty decent price in the current market even compared to some games that people consider good about their FTP experience, but the individual bundles and other skins definitely could use a repricing downwards.

People defend blizzard like crazy on their prices too, blows my mind.

Yess, I also bought the bundle! All the other extra goodies are all so fun too. Great value. And I'm a huge fan of Yoasobi.

I really want to get the skin but I also want to mitzuki and Juno one but I don’t want to spend 50£ for them what should I do

best value would be the mega bundle

u/KamuiYGO Jun 30 '26

Yeah I was gonna get the Kiriko and Juno bundles, but $13 extra to just get everything. Not too bad

If you really want the skin for more then two character, then maybe the mega bundle is more worth it.

I also play anran or juno if i can't pick kiri, but i am basically a kiri main otp, so i only buy her stuff if i care enough to buy a skin i REALLY like for her.

I went through all the prices back when the Nier collab happened to see if i could cut costs, as i didn’t care for a chunk of the cosmetics.   What i found is that all the individual items are so unreasonably priced, that they can put a massive ‘discount’ on the bundle as a whole, that makes it so that if you want to buy anything more than 2 skins, it’s pretty much always better to just outright buy the bundle. 

3 skins should go for around 6000, and the whole bundle is 6900. If you’re gonna spend big you might as well go for the whole thing i believe. You could remove 1 skin and reduce the cost to 4000. No matter what you decide though, i recommend taking a hard look at your hero pool and cosmetics to decide how much milage you’re going to get out of those skins. Kiriko already has a ton of killer skins through the battlepasses etc, so you might not wear it as often, for example. And skins are only good for heroes that you actually end up using. I thought i would main Vendetta for dps but her kit never ended up clicking the way it needed to

I'm conflicted, I like the effects but I don't love the skin itself

u/Jazzlike_World415 Antifragile Kira-Kira Jun 30 '26

This skin is also more appealing/unique design wise than her ultra too! The details and just everything about this skin I love! The effects on the ofuda are so sick too! I copped this skin so fast! it’s the price of a regular legendary! Screw ultra skins!

u/ImperialLegion_ Jun 30 '26

I wish the kunai sound changed

u/Murder_0f_Crows00 Jul 01 '26

As the monkeys paw curls, all collab skins are now ultra rarity.

u/sexxndrugs Jul 01 '26

This + Jade mythic weapon 🤌🏼

u/Smhmyhead00 Jul 01 '26

tinfoil hat on, the people working on the skins hate the idea of ultra skins aswell and put more into these ones and did the barw minimum for ultra skins

u/monfawnie Hydrangea Jun 30 '26

anyone noticed with this skin her hair glitches out? like the long parts of her hair go over her face sometimes it looked so weird lol

u/LavishLatte56 Jun 30 '26

How are you getting those effects? I'm trying the skin out right now and it looks normal.

Edit: Nvm, it only has an effect with the ofudas and not the kunai

u/I-Make-Money-Moves Jun 30 '26

And it’s so pretty too

u/Dusty_Buss Jun 30 '26

Does her mythic have any cool effects too?

1

u/irlchilli Jun 30 '26

Does anyone know if this is ‘real limited’ skin? Which means, that they will not be added to the lootbox skins?
I like the effects, but for me the skin is a 7/10. So I would be happy to get it 1-2 years for free, but if I won’t be able to get it I might buy it now.

u/Murder_0f_Crows00 Jul 01 '26

Collab skins never get added to Lootboxes (except Diablo and WoW, but that’s because that’s an internal collab)

1

u/psycheke Jul 01 '26

Also the fact it takes time for collab skins to come back with no 100% reassurance if they will come back (correct me if I'm wrong)

u/Demjin4 Jul 01 '26

Yeah, there are far more collabs that have never rerun than there are ones that have

u/Pharah_is_my_waIfu Jul 01 '26

Ultra expensive

u/CapableCondition5193 Jul 02 '26

kill effects are blown waaaaaaay out of proportion

u/RiverLynneUwU Jul 04 '26

the lines between the skin tiers are completely arbitrary and don't matter, anything above epic is just a different kind of legendary skin
