Kayn's Soul Hunter skin doesn't feel very...resonant.

High quality as always, but I can't help but feel the red witch hunter theme falls a bit flat.

The Soul Hunter name isn't self-explanatory enough, the red clothes feel a bit weird and jarring, the yellow energy feels random and thematically disconnected, and overall it doesn't really tell the story well thematically. The Rhaast-form is cool though, if a bit generic.

I assume the idea is some dude that hunts those in the Soulstealer and/or Gravelord -lines, but risks being corrupted and himself being turned into one of them. This is a really cool idea, the delivery doesn't connect, though.

Witchy theme, talking scythe, bright colors - The skin is a Soul Eater reference.

And in that case... it's extremely resonant. Fitting choice of words, there. The only way it could be more of a reference is if Raast also played piano and the pair shouted, "LET'S GO, SOUL RESONANCE" when ulting (It's a phrase from the show/manga).

It follows the same rule his base does though. I like it better. Designing skins for this champ is probably quite difficult considering the whole Kayn/Weapon dynamic.

I like to think Soul Hunter Kayn is the man hunting down the storybook monsters in the other Bloodborne-esque skins.

Kayle, Nocturne, Singed, and Yorick. One of the rioters mentioned in his explanation of skin lores and such that "what's more interesting is the man who is hunting them"

Which I think is him referring to Kayn.

Also, if Sharjo randomly appears and help find the comment I'm looking for, I'd be totally plus'd.
