Dark Valkyrie Diana Review

layers have been enthralled by League of Legends since it released back in 2009, and with over 150 champions to choose from, the gaming experience is totally customizable! One champion that’s especially caught gamers’ attention is Diana – most renowned for her Dark Valkyrie skin. So let’s take a look at everything The Scorn of the Moon has to offer: from the gripping lore she brings with her to her unique features & obtainability options – not forgetting gamer and personal feedback! Let’s jump right in…

Lore

Dark Valkyrie Diana is a fierce warrior who kicks it in Valhalla most of the time, but also knows how to live it up in the mortal world. Her lifestyle tends to be a bit too wild for Valhalla’s managers, but they can shove off because she’s gonna live life on her own terms! In her awesome splash art, she glows with an aura that radiates power and mystery – her eyes and head-mark blaze with bright intensity. Behind her loom huge buildings aglow under the brilliant moonlight. And that outfit? All open armor plates and royal purple feathers? Unbelievable. Even though her skin is dark, she looks anything but evil or intimidating. Pretty darn impressive if you ask me!

Concept and Inspiration

With the Dark Valkyrie Diana skin, our designers sought to give Diana an armor-clad spin, inspired by mythical Valkyries who choose the worthy dead and take them to Valhalla. A feathery flourish gave her a  more traditional fantasy style – while still keeping true to her persona as our very own ‘Scorn of the Moon’. How could they resist?!

Designing, Sound Effects, and Animation

Riot went all-out on Dark Valkyrie Diana’s brand-new model – and it shows! Her crescent blade is sharp as a tack, her armor is breathtaking – complete with feathery patterns and a deep purple hue. Plus, all her abilities are accompanied by fresh particles so each one packs an extra punch. Not to mention that when she “KOs,” the ghostly silhouette that remains behind’s just the icing on the cake. No new sounds or animations? No worries – they ain’t missed these features for one second!

Unique Features

The Dark Valkyrie Diana skin is a real head turner – a must-have for any Diana main. With its eye-catching armor, fashioned with feather-like details, it’s sure to give the Scorn of the Moon a dynamic new look. And that’s not all – every single one of her abilities and death feature brand new particles, adding even more flare to her already showstopping style. Sure, there aren’t any additional sounds or animations but what it does have? More than enough to make this purchase totally worth it!

Obtainability in 2023

Gamers Feedback

LoL players note that while the animations are great, the skin has issues with its appearance. Below I will attach for you reviews from real League of Legends players about Dark Valkyrie Diana:

“The Feathers are on her ult guys, lol”

“Diana skinline is just pure perfection.”

“I love that champions are getting recall animations now. Well done riot!”

“I love her recall, q and w!”

“I think the time Moonlight is applied is way too short. I think they should prolong it to make it a bit more tactical.

Now it’s like cast q and always immediately cast r after. Would be cooler like, start gank use q >> figth and use w and e and when enemy flashes or runs away use r to get close again.”

“I will buy her if she is able to jungle.”

My Feedback

The collection of skins on Champion Diana is truly mind-blowing! There are choices for literally every taste, but unfortunately I personally don’t particularly like Dark Valkyrie Diana. If I’m not particularly biased, I would say that for such a price this skin has everything I need and more, but the look of the skin is clearly not my favorite. Dark Valkyrie Diana is a great option for those who are just starting to master the champion and want to stand out on Rift, experienced players should buy Dragonslayer, but Dark Valkyrie definitely deserves its 7 out of 10 points.

Conclusion and Rating

To cap it off, we’ve got the Dark Valkyrie Diana skin – and is it a looker! It’ll give Diana a whole new edge, that’s for sure. Of course, personal taste is subjective…but if you already dig Diana and want to invest in something really special for your collection, then this could be just the ticket.

Diana’s skin really stands out with its feathery armor and regal purple accents. Plus, all the new particles for her abilities and death make it even more thrilling to play with! Unfortunately, there aren’t any new animations or sounds – which is a shame – but it still doesn’t take away from the skin’s overall amazingness.

Overall, the Dark Valkyrie Diana skin gets an easy 7/10 from me. Yeah, it’s got a few flaws, but hey – if you’re a serious Diana fan then it could be well worth the investment!
