Ahri Ultimate Skin?

Hello Guys! [sg-ahri-2]

I'm sure you've all seen the 8.8 Ahri Ahri rework, right? I waited for her rework ever since it was announced and now it finally came out! On the Tuesday it was announced, I scrolled through all of Ahri's skins. They're all pretty cool. But something's missing...

An Ultimate Skin.

There are many cool possible ultimate skin concepts for Ahri. One concept I really like is something that relates to her origins, the myths of the nine-tailed fox. It's likely that Ahri is more related to the Korean myths because Ahri was released during the time period Korean servers for LOL launched. But, there are many versions of the myth of the nine-tailed fox spread throughout Asia. Many of them talk about the many forms the nine-tailed fox has.

For example, in Chinese mythology, Guo Pu (a Chinese writer in the Eastern Jin period) describes the nine-tailed foxes, or huli jing as shapeshifters who can transform into beautiful women, men, or spirit medium depending on the fox's age. When the fox is a thousand years old, it becomes a celestial fox. This could be a possible ultimate skin, where Ahri could become a female, male, or fox with different characteristics based on her "age", or level. I call this one the Shapeshifter Ahri.

In Japanese mythology, the nine-tailed fox known as the kitsune would possess a victim, which is called kitsunetsuki. In kitsunetsuki, the fox chooses a victim to possess. In some of the stories, the victim gains fox-like features. Riot could make Ahri's ultimate skin into a way to manipulate the other champions' looks but with some fox-like features such as nine fox tails or whiskers. Although it is always a young woman the fox possesses, Riot could change it up so that Ahri could shapeshift into any of the champions. One thing I would recommend is to only let Ahri shapeshift into the champions that are in her game since there are a total of nine other champions. Get it? Nine! I call this one the Champ-shifter Ahri.

Also in Japanese mythology, the kitsune had species. These species were basically different elements. The kitsune were broken down into thirteen different elements: wind, earth, fire, river, heaven, thunder, mountain, void, spirit, time, forest, ocean, and music. The element represented the origin of the kitsune's power, or where they got their powers from. Now using this to make a skin would very much resemble the Elementalist Lux skin. Since all of the Ultimate skins are very special and different from one another, I don't think this concept might be the best way to make an Ahri skin. But, you could also give this skin another name like Ability Ahri. If you would want nine skins from these elements instead of thirteen, you could alter the elements a bit. For example, river and ocean could just be renamed "water" and forest could just be unused because there is already earth. That would leave ten elements left. Since Ahri already has a fire skin, Fox-Fire Ahri, fire could also be removed or altered in a way. After all, this is just a suggestion for an Ultimate Ahri skin. In the end, Riot has the right to do what they want with their game. Anyways, if you have gotten this far, thank you for reading my dreams about what Ahri could be if she got an ultimate skin! I wish there was something I could do to get Ahri an ultimate skin, but this board was the only thing I could think of! If there was an ultimate Ahri skin release, I'm sure many people would buy it. Ahri is very popular, after all![sg-kiko]

If there is one champ that doesn’t need an ultimate skin it’s 100% ahri she has too many good skins and gets a skin every year, show some love to champs that lack skins [slayer-jinx-unamused]

I was actually thinking of an ultimate skin for her earlier today. One that evolves as the game progresses. Something like that Thanatos skin on Smite I'll never get. Like... 3 form changes that automatically occur in fountain based on level.

Some kind of fox goddess awakening her powers as the game progresses. I'm just imagining an Ahri with 1 tail, then 3, 6, and finally 9.

Ahri could become a female, male, or fox with different characteristics based on her "age", or level. I call this one the Shapeshifter Ahri.

I think that would be neat. In her lore she was a fox that stumbled upon a battlefield and absorbed some magical energy and a dying mans essence. (Forgive me for any minor error in details, I am paraphrasing.) Thus transforming her.

Imagine starting the game as a fox and becoming more human with each kill or level. Or having her transcend in some way or another to gain more human/fox like features.

OR OR OR

Have her change her race so to say. She is a Vastaya, as is Xayah. They are known for having human and animal features. So perhaps for an ultimate allow her Vastayn race to change. From fox, to bird, to cat, to dog, to fish(??) etc.

Have it trigger by the number of souls (kills) collected. Perhaps keep the element of nine tails included (nine cat tails) or have her tails accumulate with her souls. (one fish tail, two cat tails, etc..) all the way up until nine, and after nine give her a "final form". Like our well known and loved classic nine tailed fox Ahri, but with an absolutely stunning new image.

Perhaps have it on a loop where the 10th soul would give her the same form as her 1st, or allow a choice anywhere from soul 10+.

So many possibilities. [sg-lux]

Can't wait to dominate lane as a wrinkly, old Ahri

Nah, she doesn't need another damned skin, not for a couple years at least. Shift those skins to champions who actually need them, Champs that have had skins since release for example.

I hate to step on toes here, but does Riot even give ultimate skins to champs who have a legendary one already? I mean she’s already got Star Gua-[sg-ahri-3]

I didn't read your whole post. But from what I understand is this. YOU WANT ANOTHER AHRI skin.

This had better be a troll.

These are all lovely ideas owo

As an ahri main, I'd be overjoyed if Riot brewed up an ultimate Ahri skin for us :>

No, MF should get a real Ultimate skin since GGMF is only 2775 so it doesn't count /s

But something's missing...

An Ultimate Skin.

Unlikely to happen as she's

  1. Not that old of a champion
  2. Already has a Legendary.
