You mean Judgement Kayle? I have her but not Silver. I don't like the level 1 aesthetic for her Judgement as it's too asymetrical for me but the full ascended form is really cool, a 6 winged judicator
Surprised you didn't mention Sun Eater Kayle. It has a killer aesthetic with the whole 'biblically accurate angel' thing, at least to me. I'm actually curious about your thoughts on it now.
Seriously I was expecting sun eater too it definitely deserves more then the power armor but opinions are opinions I guess, still her primordial angelic ascension is incredible
Should. Have. Been. A. Legendary. End of the debate. the idea is great, the biblically accurate angel concept is just.. chef's kiss. but why (I know the answer, money obviously), why did Sivir, a nobody in the skinline, get the legendary, when Kayle is literaly the most interesting character in the universe of coven/eclipse/old gods
Aether Wing was done so dirty after Kayle's rework. Legendary skins are supposed to give a nigh-full VGU to the champ, but Aether Wing's animations are literally the same as base Kayle without the flapping wings. It's only saving grace are the hilarious voice lines of Kayle trying way too hard to be a space cop, but that should've been on Riot Kayle anyways. Speaking of Riot Kayle, I'm surprised it didnt get a mention. It has amazing effects and a fitting concept for being a regular-priced skin.
I still laugh during the very first Pentakill music video where everyone from the band does something spectacular and offered something in the song, but Kayle just... she just lands from the sky and did nothing but fly the entire music video. She did not sing. She did not play an instrument. She just lands... at the END of the song XD
Sun Eater is another strong contender honestly. Like I have at least 7 Kayle skins, all of which I like a lot (and two of them being in this video). So when I got Sun Eater I thought "eh, I'll use it once and forget about it to go back to Pentakill" but I actually loved it and it became another one in my Kayle skin rotation.
personally i have the biggest attachment to the "Justiciar Kayle" which used to be handed out for free back in the day when you went a whole year without getting reported.
Iron inquisitor is my favorite because she doesn't lose her helmet when she levels up. I'm really disappointed that riot doesn't give us an option to put a helmet on like kai'sa or like aatrox's banner wings. If we could, I would've bought sun eater kayle in a heart beat! Its so cool but is brought down by the fact she takes it off.
@@alexlane2303it really does kinda made me wish the riot universe skin line was oppressive controlling riot police vs actual rioters and have all of the super authoritarian characters like kayle, Swain, Mord, Darius, Gangplank and azir be the riot cops
It would easily be suneater if they didnt deny it the legendary making its in-game model limitations flop along with the lack of any specific dialogue making the immersion of the skinline entirely lacking
Before the rework Aether Wing would have easily taken the w, but with it they completely worked over Kayle's default and less expensive skins and completely negligently just tossed Aether Wing along into the mix like it doesn't cost like TWICE the amount of a decent 975RP skin. What did 14 year old me pay 20€ for back then when he bought that skin??
I feel like the rework came with a huge downgrade to some great skin concepts like Aether Wing and Inquisitor, while Pentakill was barely changed (fortunately) they only added the new forms, but I miss the chainsaw sound effect on the old E :(
I got Pentakill Kayle in a chest and thought "Oh that looks cool! Let's play it" and I immediately fell in love. Kayle has been my main toplaner ever since.
I’ve said it before: Pentakill needs a rival band consisting of other champions, and Morgana should mirror Kayle as a vocalist…she would already “fill” that niche as an Evanescence / Within Temptation symphonic vocalist to serve as counter to Kayle’s Metallica / punk aesthetic.
Personally, I would still put my vote for Inquisitor. The idea alone of a darker souls-like universe where Kayle performs the exact same role, highlighting how much far removed from being grey her character is, is enough for me, even if skin itself is lackluster. But I get that this channel is primarily about visuals, so I can't argue that Inquisitor can't beat Pentakill without it's armour being an iron maiden that opens up into spiked wings, or relaying story of an Ashen One by starting Kayle in default rags and ascending into some decorated armour.
I agree with everything said in this short, but I gotta say I also love Sun Eater a whole lot. Yeah maybe it's not something super new or subversive but damn it looks cool and I'm so biased for that aesthetic
This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for putting it on the internet for the world to enjoy as well. Wishing you and them all the best! (In every universe)
Back in 2013, I played her as a main. Then I stepped away from the game because of toxicity. I'd bitched at for everything. But seeing these rather kickass costumes makes that little bit of nostalgia for her kick up in my heart. I do miss being able to solo lane.
Every Kayle skin is great mainly because by design they have to put more effort and thought into them due to her changing appearance while leveling. Some of them are a little bit lazy with it but most of the time it ends up being cool as hell, it makes every skin feel a bit like it's in-between an epic and a legendary
Yes! Kayle just happens to have so many great skins. I always struggle to choose one whenever I pick her. Not only the evolution concept throughout the skin line is cool, but also splash arts. Granted some skin execution may not deliver the idea well enough, but you're not going to spend an entire game looking at her 3D model, no?
Okay but Iron Inq really pulls out that distinct feeling of roman catholism. Like an all-knowing judgement that is undeniably ready to present sick justice ((the splash))
As someone who got Aether Wing Kayle back in....2013, I am hella partial to it, old and new versions. I haven't played in almost 4 years. So there are some epic looking skins out now, and I NEED them. However...I was a metal kid and a punk teenager. Pentakill Kayle, old and new version, just rocks my sock off so hard, I gotta get a cast to keep them on afterward.
I know it's incredibly subjective, but that's also how I feel. I want to play a match of Pentakill lineup one day... Karthus + Sona bot, Olaf jungle, Yorick top and Morde mid.
Aether Wing is a fun idea, but I kinda like the pre-rework Kayle version of it more. Instead of "Angel-inspired anime power armor" she's an Avatar of Technology, Progress, and Order, this angelic spirit of the concept of invention. The ultimate White-Blue character, for the Magic fans out there. It was neat. Also she had some of *the best* lines from that time period. "Dust in the clockwork" slays as an attack line.
lets be honest. the original pentakill skins are the best skins for all champs. sona, olaf, mordekaiser, kayle and yorick. all of them peaked during pentakill
I actually really like riot kayle and feel like people don’t give it enough attention. I think what they did with her wings in that skin is really creative. Also, wee woo.
Not calling it “PentaKayle” was the biggest sin riot has ever committed
Meh, Kayle already sins alot in lore; might as well add that to the list 👀
@@Chrono_topher would’ve been completely redeemed if the skin was called that tbh
At least she got to punt Teemo in that one music vid. That alone redeems her.
Fun fact: it is actually called Pentakayle in the Brazilian translation/client
wait wasnt it mordekaiser that punts the absolute shit out of teemo?
Shoutout to Silver Kayle and Tribunal Kayle for having the most gorgeous splasharts you will never get
You mean Judgement Kayle? I have her but not Silver. I don't like the level 1 aesthetic for her Judgement as it's too asymetrical for me but the full ascended form is really cool, a 6 winged judicator
@@NMG.11 Mandela effect kayle
DUDE that version of the Silver Kayle splash with her mask off is so god damn perfect I fall in love again every time I look at it
Shout out to young me for thinking I had to buy the game to play it years ago so I have that skin.
Silver 🔥🔥🔥

agree, easily the best kayle skin imo
Sun Eater Kayle should be legendary and you all know that.

End of the debate. the idea is great, the biblically accurate angel concept is just.. chef's kiss. but why (I know the answer, money obviously), why did Sivir, a nobody in the skinline, get the legendary, when Kayle is literaly the most interesting character in the universe of coven/eclipse/old gods
@@ayouneii3659 fully agree w/ u ofc

Well it makes sense tho, that video was merely a teaser of her forming part of Pentakill so... It's okay iml
to be fair, she kicked teemo.
@@Braindamagedguylol nope, Mordekaiser did
Kayle: "My work here is done!"
Karthus: "But you didn't do anything!"
*Kayle dramatically turns and leaves with a swoosh of her wings*
@@arliden2064 that was deff kayle what?
I'm quite a sucker for that color palette on the Iron Inquisitor skin tho
That skin was my go to for her before pentakill. I now swap back and forth. Both great skins.
Love the splash art.
Sun Eater is another strong contender honestly. Like I have at least 7 Kayle skins, all of which I like a lot (and two of them being in this video). So when I got Sun Eater I thought "eh, I'll use it once and forget about it to go back to Pentakill" but I actually loved it and it became another one in my Kayle skin rotation.
Sun eater top tier for me ngl
The many eyes make it so good.
Sun Eater is my fav by far
Inquisitor remains the best Kayle concept to date... sad that they didn't explore that world further
personally i have the biggest attachment to the "Justiciar Kayle" which used to be handed out for free back in the day when you went a whole year without getting reported.
Suneater has a special place in my heart. It looks awesome, and listening to Lorna Shore while playing it turns it up to 11
Iron inquisitor is my favorite because she doesn't lose her helmet when she levels up. I'm really disappointed that riot doesn't give us an option to put a helmet on like kai'sa or like aatrox's banner wings. If we could, I would've bought sun eater kayle in a heart beat! Its so cool but is brought down by the fact she takes it off.
Can't wait to see Riot Kayle appear on the next short
idk riot Kalye is pretty cool to me, I think traditional Kayle is weakest
Riot Kayle may possibly be the only good Riot skin cuz it fits her and her personality SO well
@@alexlane2303it really does kinda made me wish the riot universe skin line was oppressive controlling riot police vs actual rioters and have all of the super authoritarian characters like kayle, Swain, Mord, Darius, Gangplank and azir be the riot cops
My guy just likes Fallen Angel Goth Metalist GF and I’m here for it
I can be your Fallen Angle Goth Metal GF or yuor Risen Devil Goth Metal GF
Unmasked Kayle was truly the best skin. So simple, tied into the trailer, overall top notch.
I'll never forgive them for changing Aetherwing Kayle. The old design and animations were amazing and it's all gone.
The new design is superior in every aspect
No, The best thing about the old is her E. The people i know who bought was because of her E lol. @@ponglenis9273
Judgement Kayle has always been my favorite simply because it was my first ever skin and I used it alot maining Kayle back in the day
aether wing feels like a mid execution of what gabriel ultrakill was going for (and achieved)
Personally my favorite Kayle skin is Viridian Kayle, I love turning a winged angel into a fairy asthetic
the chromas are just as great too
Pentakill Kayle was a skin of music fan becoming star looong before KDA Seraphine came out, we gotta respect that
that pentakill skin gave me brutal legend vides
RIOT NOT GIVING KAYLE A SKIN IN THEIR NEW FAIRY LINE IS A FUCKING TRAVESTY
viridian is sorta same concept already
@@kestrels_xp9338 If only Viridian had cool effects. It's a very nice skin that's is overlooked for its price.
It would easily be suneater if they didnt deny it the legendary making its in-game model limitations flop along with the lack of any specific dialogue making the immersion of the skinline entirely lacking

I'm still on inquisitor and judgement Kayle.
I really like Psy Ops Kayle with her transparent wings and atack sounds
Agreed, at first it's kinda weak but then it gets so much better! The sound effects are god tier
I feel like the rework came with a huge downgrade to some great skin concepts like Aether Wing and Inquisitor, while Pentakill was barely changed (fortunately) they only added the new forms, but I miss the chainsaw sound effect on the old E :(
Pre-Rework it was Aether Wing just because it had a real auto attack animation but post rework yeah Pentakill slaps harder than it probably should.
I got Pentakill Kayle in a chest and thought "Oh that looks cool! Let's play it" and I immediately fell in love. Kayle has been my main toplaner ever since.
Sun Eater would have been the best if she didn't get robbed by a random mercenary that broke the lore.
Iron Inquisitor Kayle splash art is just so beautiful. I don't really like the skin, but the transformation feel of the splash art is amazing.
I’ve said it before: Pentakill needs a rival band consisting of other champions, and Morgana should mirror Kayle as a vocalist…she would already “fill” that niche as an Evanescence / Within Temptation symphonic vocalist to serve as counter to Kayle’s Metallica / punk aesthetic.
Morgana and the Black Shields

The idea alone of a darker souls-like universe where Kayle performs the exact same role, highlighting how much far removed from being grey her character is, is enough for me, even if skin itself is lackluster.

Pentakill Kayle also being created in the image of my favorite female metal singer makes it one of my favorite skins ever.
Mine has to be Iron Inquisitor, i just love the aesthetic
Aether wing was so good, the animations were great and then the visual update completely screwed it
Solar eclipse kayle, that one with biblically accurate wings? Like, that skin is awesome
My favorite is the old aether wing kayle, it hits different to me
Excellent misdirect with the thumbnail. I was on the edge of my seat until the end for this one 🤘
I mainly only play with Riot Kayle, as there is nothing better than the 'Bonk' when you are close range 😂
The aether wing splash art is fucking amazing
Just sayin, if they did turbine propellers in aether wing, it would slap
I agree with everything said in this short, but I gotta say I also love Sun Eater a whole lot. Yeah maybe it's not something super new or subversive but damn it looks cool and I'm so biased for that aesthetic
Old Aether Kayle's E sfx hit like a truck though.
The whole pentakill skin line but especially this one just makes me think-
*_CRAWLIN' BY THE SEA OF BLACK TEARS, GIVE YOUR SOUL TO ME!!_*
This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for putting it on the internet for the world to enjoy as well. Wishing you and them all the best! (In every universe)
Aether Wing will probably always remain my personal fave.
Back in 2013, I played her as a main. Then I stepped away from the game because of toxicity. I'd bitched at for everything. But seeing these rather kickass costumes makes that little bit of nostalgia for her kick up in my heart. I do miss being able to solo lane.
Her attack projectile on the iron inquisitor feels really good
Meanwhile sun eater kayle:
"*am I a joke to you?!?*"
It still pains me thinking how Riot ruined Aether Wing Kayle after the rework. One of the cleanest and best looking skins became an ugly metal mess.
Pentakill Kayle gets that sick hand bang recall too where she rocks out. Her E gets a cool riff too. Definitely one of my favorite skins
Sword where the pommel is a microphone...ok that rock's on so many levels.
Viridian Kayle goes BONKERS
Aether Wing should've just been "Legally Distinct Gundam Wing"
my favorite kayle skin is the Psyops one from wearing a hood and mask to showing her face more and more~ plus pretty colors!
Before I even finish the video i gotta say its the police skin... Thr weewoweewo sound is hilarious
It's a shame Aether wings evole now because the original wings are magnificentz. But reaching lvl 11 they just, eeh...
That “Mmh” did something to me
I like Riot Kayle. The goofy sirens are just fun on all of them
Judgement kayle gives dark souls boss growing from a mindless npc
Every Kayle skin is great mainly because by design they have to put more effort and thought into them due to her changing appearance while leveling. Some of them are a little bit lazy with it but most of the time it ends up being cool as hell, it makes every skin feel a bit like it's in-between an epic and a legendary
Aether Wing is the typical choice but those voice lines are so funny and the lore is awesome. She's an interstellar Judge Dredd. It's great
Kayle has had plenty of mileage as far as skins go, and no arguments about pentakill being her best one out of her entire lineup.
Transcendent brooooo!!! It's absolutely magistique
Honestly for me the best is Sun-Eater
I love the recall
Pentakill Kayle has an amazing recall animation aswell! Not very elaborate, but it rocks (literally)!
i really like sun-eater kayle, you go from just an ashen husk with a veil to full sun god
Yes! Kayle just happens to have so many great skins. I always struggle to choose one whenever I pick her. Not only the evolution concept throughout the skin line is cool, but also splash arts. Granted some skin execution may not deliver the idea well enough, but you're not going to spend an entire game looking at her 3D model, no?
I like psi-commander and inquisitor
Okay but Iron Inq really pulls out that distinct feeling of roman catholism. Like an all-knowing judgement that is undeniably ready to present sick justice ((the splash))

Every Pentakill beats every skin Riot has ever produced
I know it's incredibly subjective, but that's also how I feel. I want to play a match of Pentakill lineup one day... Karthus + Sona bot, Olaf jungle, Yorick top and Morde mid.
I like the new Pentakill Kayle because it makes sure that everyone knows when she leveled up lol is so powerful!
This is like discovering Paine in Final Fantasy X-2. Suddently having a goth punk lady in a high fantasy environment was such a delight!
For me personally the inquisitor Kayle’s Color scheme just slaps. Also cool mask ye
Iron inquisitor It has really good splash art and the 3d model doesn't do it justice. The gold color on lol is ugly as hell
Iron inquisitor is my favorite Kayle skin and one of my favorite skins in the game
I have to disagree with this one.. pentakill kayle is literally the worst of her skins
Aether Wing is a fun idea, but I kinda like the pre-rework Kayle version of it more. Instead of "Angel-inspired anime power armor" she's an Avatar of Technology, Progress, and Order, this angelic spirit of the concept of invention. The ultimate White-Blue character, for the Magic fans out there. It was neat.
Also she had some of *the best* lines from that time period. "Dust in the clockwork" slays as an attack line.
Kinda wish Pentakill Kayle was a legendary with unique dubbing...actually getting Noora Louhimo to voice the in-game character would have been dope.
Iron inquisitor was comparatively better on pre rework Kayle
Okay, but Sun Eater Kayle is so fucking cool and I love it to death
lets be honest. the original pentakill skins are the best skins for all champs. sona, olaf, mordekaiser, kayle and yorick. all of them peaked during pentakill
ALSO Tear of the Goddess is so underrated. That shit needs a music video
sun eater kayle is also heavy
Facts it’s the best skin and I’m glad I got it
Honestly, If they went full Blasphemous reference on inquisitor Kayle It would be 100% better.
I have all 3 of these and it's so damn hard to choose which one to play every game
Both Pentakill and Lost chapter skins for are just MWAHH 💜💜
Riot kayle was the only skin I wanted for her. It just makes sense thematically and the propeller wings is sick
Wrong, riot kayle, fight me
I actually really like riot kayle and feel like people don’t give it enough attention. I think what they did with her wings in that skin is really creative. Also, wee woo.
Iron inquisitor in concept was what would make me main Kayle but I guess I couldn’t have the ability to be relevant the first 11 lvls
iron inquisitor kayle's splash is super cool
Bro the first one is definitely El Shaddoll Kayle
iron inquisitor's splash art is by far my favorite in the game
Iron inquisitor is my favourite just because of the wings bcs they are this bloody red colour when the passive is active and when shes lvl 16
She also has a hairstyle that her vocalist, Noors, used to wear back then c:
Old Aether Kayle in-game has the best effects btw...
I knew it would be Pentakill after you showed Aether Wing and said no
