I think we got some good ones this year. The nemesis one is extremely cool, i think its one of the more unique blight skins we got. The pyramid head one is also kinda cool, if a little generic. I'm uh.... not so sure about the doc one. I think its cool and all, but it really doesn't feel like it fits in this game. Its aesthetically strange compared to everything else we've got. The mikaela one is by far my favorite, i've been waiting years to finally get a witch costume and its a dream come true, i really like it. How about you guys?


Edit: Updated to include nea and hillbilly.

    Rather than casual clothes, I think that more scary clothes should be updated to fit the genre of this game. I'm afraid the game will go the other way in the costume. More brutal, more terrifying and more provocative outfits should be released. Excluding collaboration characters.

    I just wanted classic Nemesis. So I bought the 10 dollar auric cell pack. But it wasn't classic Nemesis. He is still using a trash bag to cover his goodies.


    The free skins are lit. I am wondering if I should spend my shards on Mikaela or keep going in my conquest to unlock all killers. I am just missing Spirit, Oni, and Clown. But the new one will be coming soon... So, I am kind of screwed regardless.

    Honestly i say stick to unlocking killers. Survivors are mostly just skins and perks, killers are entirely unique gameplay experiences.

    I'm kind of the reverse. Blighted Pyramid Head is a dream come true and that sharp contrast looks absolutely sick. Love his greatsword and the trickles of blight down his boots. I'm very tempted to get it and I don't even like playing Pyramid Head. Nemesis is cool, and it occurs to me that his power tiering up and the visual effect it creates is really on point now, but... this is a dumb gripe, but his feet look really stupid to me. I can't get over that. It looks like he's wearing blight slippers. Add in that they didn't really do anything with the lower half of his coat (the top with the tubes overflowing with blight is hella cool) and it's just top half awesome, bottom half dumb for me.

    I'm with you on Frankenstein Doc, though. I'm not quite vibing with it, though more options is always neat, and hey, I'll always take a free cosmetic. And Mikaela looks fantastic. I'm never taking off that witch hat - though whoa does her face look different from her base model.

    Gee, thanks, I will never unsee those blighted slippers now. Lol.

    Honestly i can't disagree on the nemesis boots. They do look pretty stupid. But hey, it looks great on the mori if anything.

    I think Nemesis and Pyramid Head's are seriously mediocre, but I've never been a fan of blighted skins in general. Pyramid Head's is worse because I literally wouldn't even notice that they're not using the Forge Born skin that already existed. It's default PH with a little splash of orange either way.

    Mikaela's makes her bearable to look at, like seriously did they add a completely different head model for that cosmetic or what? No rat face, eyebrows, no hipster glasses, no amish hat, and hair that isn't literally the punchline of jokes.

    Doctor's is alright. I think he has better. The muscle suit is kinda funny.

    I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of drippy blighted skins so they don't do anything for me. At least they add variety I suppose.

    True but they don't have to bother making new skins for Slinger since he was "removed" from the game this mid-chapter patch.

    I think Nemesis and Pyramid Heads skins aren't very good tbh.

    I'd really like to have a Mister X skin for Nemesis, personally.

    The Doctor skins okay

  • DorkianBae
    DorkianBae Member Posts: 227

    I only like a few of the blighted skins.

    The clown and Doctor Blight skins are pretty awesome tbh

    I can dig the nemesis skin. Everything but his light bright sketchers. Kinda wish he had more blight going on with his face though, like most killers do in their blighted skins.

    Pyramid head I'm very disappointed with. His blight skin was one I was extremely looking forward to. But it's so basic, it looks more like a chroma of his normal skin than it does a whole different skin.

    I'm okay with Doc's skin. I love the idea of a buff Frankenstein type thing. I think it's the details though that bother me, they look kinda rushed. It doesn't look like stitched together skin to me, more like a party city costume you bought for $19.99 because there were no other costumes.

    Mikaelas skin is kinda meh to me. Congrats, you put a witch character into a witch costume, how original. I think it would've been cool if she got this like old puritan dress type skin. Like the ones they used to wear back in the times of Salem. That would've been punny.

    I don't like docs electric plunger weapon though

    I like Mikaela's clothes a lot.

    I even find her face in this a lot less weird than her base face, but maybe I'm crazy. I also like her overall look in that cosmetic.

    Doctor is okay.

    And I don't even care about the blighted PH and Nemesis cosmetics.

    But then I'm someone who prefers simple cosmetics and typically I veer away from things that are overly loud or gauche.

    I was so excited to finally see a Blighted Oni skin this year (Deathslinger too)...

    On top of that doctor and billy got another halloween skin (not blighted,but still).

    Sadness 😔👹

    I was hoping there'd be one more Blighted skin. I don't like how we're getting fewer and fewer each year. I just want Blighted Oni, man, but BHVR keep delaying him. :(

    I like them especially Mikaela's witch outfit!

    Now I want blight slippers in the merch store. It would fit in perfectly with the doctor and nurse flip flops.

    Why didn’t you include Nea and Hillbilly though? I like those two as well as Nemesis. PH looks okay, but seems like something is missing?

  • Marigoria
    Marigoria Member Posts: 6,090

    I like all of them besides doctor. Doctor isn't that much different from other skins he has.

    Nemesis and PH: Nice skins but will never buy them since they are auric cells only (licenses 🙄)

    Mikaela: Ok skin, at least it is more "witchy" than her default

    Doctor: I like it, the pieces go well with the blighted doctor we already have

    I'm worried that blighted skins will never be earnable through the event again, I hope this is not the case

    Deathslanger totally needs a blighted rifle that shoots an eyeball chain

    I love Nemesis and Mikaela's outfits.

    Pyramid Head looks cool, but it kind of just looks like his default cosmetics splashed with blight serum.

    Not really a fan of Doctor's outfit, but pieces of it can work with his other cosmetics.

  • TacitusKilgore

    You're right, i completely forgot about nea and hillbilly.

    I hate Blighted Pyramid Head with a passion. Forgeborn looks more like Blighted than this.

    Blighted Nemesis is better, but I still dislike it. It just looks way less creative to me compared to last year's skins, Blighted Legion and True Blight in particular.

    Nea's cosmetic is decent. Probably my favorite of the new ones here.

    Billy's cosmetic just kind of looks like a massive clump of snot to me. I don't hate it, but I don't love it.

    If Mikaela's and Doctor's Tome outfits count, though, they're my top 2. Love both of these outfits.

    I will only say my opinion on blighted pyramid head


    It was a wasted opportunity with this one, it could have been way cooler but I hate it all except the great knife, which I will further respond with "Sets weren't apart of the deal according to konami through an email"

    I love how everyone is ignoring Hillbilly, because he's just so irrelevant unless it's to make a point about how the devs destroy killers. I like the new Hillbilly skin but I don't like that the weapon is linked. I wanted the weapon even if I can't play Billy because he turns like a tractor and slams into walls like a bulldozer.

  • Sweet_Tour
    Sweet_Tour Member Posts: 558

    Honestly I'm pretty sure sets aren't the collaborators doing like EVER. It's obvious because the devs make sets out of no licensed cosmetics too.

    Nemesis: I don't like the spikes other then I like.

    Pyramid Head: Once again the spikes.

    Doctor: A bit weird but I don't hate it.

    Hillbilly: Eh.

    Mikaela: It's alright.

    Nea: It's alright. I like that it doesn't look like a unicorn puked on her like almost all her skins.

    Overall this one was alright. Pyramid head's felt a bit lazy and Nemesis felt like they were trying to hard.

  • TheDarkTyrant
    TheDarkTyrant Member Posts: 2,074

    I feel they should stick with the blighted stuff until they are done. We only got 2 killers.

    The nea outfit is awesome but the hair ruins the whole skin.

    Mikaela looks amazing and one of the best head pieces in the game.

    Hillbilly's best skin by far.

    Nemesis and pyramid head's are alright.
