What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Shadowfire Kindred worth your RP. At 1350 RP, you're getting a feature-rich skin with plenty of new visuals that really change how Kindred looks in-game.

Here's what you get with Shadowfire Kindred: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Kindred move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Shadowfire Kindred keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.
