Do the members of K/DA have powers in universe?

MetaGeek·Jan 29, 2020·4 votes·8,376 views

It is unclear to me what exactly K/DA is capable of in their universe and exactly what they all are. I mean Akali is likely a capable fighter in universe with mixed martial arts and able to use a kama so I could belive her being pretty good as a potential assassin miss hip hop ninja however

what about Ahri, fans suspect her tails are real so I assume she is a real ninetails but is she still adept at magic maybe more so than classic Ahri not risking eating souls. Or is the charm spell at the camera all visual effects in universe too?

Is Eveylnn still secretly a demon just she actally learned to appreciate other emotions than lustful agony, the missing male celebrities are kinda suspicious but her value of friends makes it obvious she is more human than the original agony's embrace

And finally Kai'sa does she have high grade weapons tech or a void suit that just is more benign and feeds on music and dance moves or is she the one who just lacks powers in this cannon and just shoots fireworks or has fancy special effects

Or is it all supposed to be head cannon?

Fame, Wealth and influence pretty much. I'd rather have those in IRL than shooting fireballs or w/e

To be honest I don't really get the question. Is it about the champion lore? Usually skinlines are completly seperate from champion lore and there is no meaning behind it. There is no KDA kpop group giving concerts in the world of runeterra. Or is the "universe" you're talking about, all the things we see in the music video? Because, well the music video is everything there is. There is no story surrounding KDA...

Actually, K/DA has more lore than some champions in the Universe page

They have a universe page, and exist in the same universe as Pentakill and true damage yes there is a story considering they have separate bios from the mainline

skins are meant to be alternate universes, some revolving around current themes (dragon line, Dark star etc.)

Considering that Evelynn knows Karthus... and Karthus is an actual Lich... its save to say that they do have powers.

To be fair I think they mean Pentakill Karthus as in the metal band skins so same question for them I guess

Exactly. Pentakill Karthus (and all the members of Pentakill) do have lore as well, and in their lore, they are members of a band from Runeterra and they do have powers.

https://pentakill.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/

So, either Runeterra and Earth are connected in the "Music" universe (Since K/DA mentions real places), or the Karthus that Eve knows is not the same as the Karthus from pentakill.

In fact, the lore of Sona says "So powerful were her notes, they travelled between worlds and sank entire continents (indeed, a planned gig in Atlantis had to be cancelled)."... so, indeed, Pentakill could travel between Pentakill Runeterra and K/DA "Earth" (since Atlantis is a place from Earth i guess).

Pentakill in fact had a concert in Mount Olympus... So, traveling between planets is not far fetched (and they actually visited Bandle for a concert, and Bandle is in a different realm). Actually, they had a concert on Stonehenge (according to the lore not irl) and that is a place from Earth.

So, if Pentakill can travel between Runeterra and Earth, Evelynn could do the same and she could be from Runeterra... or Demons could exist in K/DA Earth as well.

Glad I'm not the only one to over think all this, it's also possible that in universe Runeterra is pangea to the current earth and as such Ahri could have adapted to modern society and Eve could have finally developed beyond a simple murder lust demon while Akali and Kaisa are decendence of the originals.... I guess it does come down to head cannon but I'm curious what riot intended too
