Five new K/DA Firestarter skins will become playable in League of Legends on the Public Beta Environment with Patch 26.21 on Oct. 21. The skins will reach live servers with Patch 26.22 on Nov. 4.

The cosmetics draw on Fortiche’s animated music video for Firestarter. K/DA returned after a six-year hiatus with the new single and a four-song EP.

A PBE-file breakdown identifies Ahri and Kai’Sa as Epic skins, Firestarter Evelynn as Legendary, and Ignition Akali and K/DA Hitmaker Evelynn as Mythic. The current set has no Ultimate skin or Seraphine entry. ALL OUT Seraphine Indie remains K/DA’s only Ultimate skin.

The files list 23 K/DA skins across five champions. Akali’s only entry in this set is Ignition, following True Damage Know My Name Akali in Patch 26.21.

Ahri and Kai’Sa each have eight chromas, while Firestarter Evelynn has six. The three skins account for 22 chromas in total, and each Ruby chroma is marked as a 2026 bundle exclusive. The files have final splash art for the two Mythics only. Ahri, Kai’Sa, and Firestarter Evelynn still have placeholder splash art, so the chroma preview uses in-game models.

Ahri and Kai’Sa will each receive an Epic skin priced at 1,350 RP, about $10. Firestarter Evelynn is a Legendary skin costing 1,820 RP, or roughly $15, and includes additional voice lines and animations. Akali’s Ignition skin and K/DA Hitmaker Evelynn are Mythic. These prices follow League’s wider skin-tier system.

The two Mythics use separate Sanctum banners

Neither Mythic skin will be directly purchasable from the store. Each will be available through The Sanctum, where a pull costs 400 RP, about $5. A skin is guaranteed within 40 pulls, for a total of 16,000 RP, or around $120.

The two skins will have separate banners, and pulls for one will not count toward the other. Players who reach the 40-pull guarantee on both could spend 32,000 RP in total, approximately $245.
