DLC Skins Guide

[mcnichoj]

Couldn't really find anything like this so I decided to make one.
I did my best to try and source the first events or general time period in which they were released.
All of these skins have been given out by other means including twitter giveaways or twitch streams.
I also made notes if the skins had any thing special about them.
Please let me know if I missed anything or if any information is incorrect.

Champion Zetterburn (Unique taunt.)
This skin was given out during tournemanet streams in early 2016 or by playing in a RCS bracket.

Champion Etalus (Unique taunt.)
Show up to play at an event during the summer/fall of 2016 or win an RCS bracket.

Twitch Absa (Holding down the taunt button long enough will start playing music.)
Attended TwitchCon 2016.

Golden Orcane
Purchase the Orcane plush on Amazon, SharkRobot, symbiotestudios or Smash.gg and get a code.

King Etalus
Purchase the Etalus plush on symbiotestudios and get a code.

Golden Zetterburn
Purchase the Zetterburn plush on symbiotestudios and get a code.

Early Access Promo ("GameBoy" inspired palette for all characters.)

(Had to put a break in the URL, Steam hates links.)

Nice guide. Thought I'd drop some info on how to get a few of these (not all are still available) if you feel like you missed out in the past.

Champion Zetterburn - Play in any RCS event: https://smash.gg/rcs/schedule
Champion Etalus - Win an online RCS event / Play at a local event
Twitch Absa - Giveaway on many twitch streams including ours every
Saturday twitch.tv/rivalsofaether

"Show up" at an event like in person?
Play in an RCS event is all online, right?

Thread has been updated with the new DLC. I'll maybe port this to the Guide section so people can see neato pictures of the stuff.

Don't forget about excalibur, the beast from the seventh circle of hell

I actually just watched Alpha's Rivals video the other day where he played his friend, did not watch the follow up one. So thanks, I'll get that in there.

Darn, I hate games like Smite and this that make skins only obtainable from outside sources or by attending events you missed.

Man the orcane plushies are like 4x the price here in the UK :(

£71.99 which comes to around $80, in the US they're being sold $25

That's pretty damn expensive for a plushy heh

In terms of the Twitch Absa giveaway in stream, I'm guessing the people they give em to are randomly selected, or do you do it more like 'whoever answers this question first'.. Not really a big fan of the latter

[shocktail39]

I think it's hilarious how Twitch Absa gets frustrated and throws her controller when you stop holding the taunt.

[Silver Surtur]

So I have to ask: Will more skins like the Summit skins and the CEO stage skin be added to the steam store as DLC or will they remain exclusive?

[Ball0fLight]

Good question.....

Im assuming it will come around at some point, but not for the time being.

How do you equip these skins? I have all the DLC but I am not sure how to equip them.

After you selected the character you should have a toggle option, check the controls menu.

what about the best one

I think there's a golden Etalus skin as well from buying his plushie that you can add to the list.

This thread's a bit out of date, but I made a Reddit thread 5 months back that I've been keeping up to date on all existing premium skins (doesn't list how to get them though). o:
