The same patch adds K/DA Hitmaker Evelynn and K/DA Firestarter Akali as a Mythic Variant. Riot announced all of them on the official League of Legends X account on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 from 11:00 WIB (12:00 in Malaysia and Singapore), a day after the “FIRESTARTER” music video premiered. RP prices, tiers, and chromas have not been announced yet. Before K/DA, patch 26.21 on 21 October brings the True Damage Know My Name skins.

Every K/DA FIRESTARTER Skin in Patch 26.22
| Skin | Champion | Official status as of 20 October |
|---|---|---|
| K/DA FIRESTARTER Ahri | Ahri | Announced with Evelynn and Kai’Sa, group splash released |
| K/DA FIRESTARTER Evelynn | Evelynn | Announced with Ahri and Kai’Sa |
| K/DA FIRESTARTER Kai’Sa | Kai’Sa | Announced with Ahri and Evelynn |
| K/DA Hitmaker Evelynn | Evelynn | Separate skin with its own splash |
| K/DA Firestarter Akali | Akali | Mythic Variant |
The group splash Riot shared shows all four K/DA members in red and silver against a wall of fire: Ahri with red fox tails, Evelynn seated in the middle in orange sunglasses, white-haired Kai’Sa, and a masked Akali holding a kunai. Hitmaker Evelynn has a different look: red hair, red glasses, a dark blue suit, and blue flames around her. The Mythic Akali wears a fur hat, baggy purple trousers, and boots marked K/DA.
Evelynn is the only champion with two K/DA skins in this patch. Akali sits outside the regular FIRESTARTER trio, but she gets new cosmetics in two straight patches: True Damage Know My Name in 26.21 and the K/DA Mythic Variant in 26.22.
K/DA FIRESTARTER Skin Price: Not Announced Yet
As of 20 October 2026, Riot has not shared RP prices, skin tiers, chromas, or how to unlock Hitmaker Evelynn and the Mythic Variant Akali. The X posts only name the skins and the patch, and the 26.22 patch notes are not out.
For reference, the 26.20 patch notes went live on 7 October at 01:00 WIB, the same date as that patch. Only then did Riot’s “Upcoming Skins & Chromas” section list the six HEARTSTEEL Live My Life skins, including a Prestige version for Sett, and the chroma names for each. The safest place to confirm K/DA FIRESTARTER details is the 26.22 patch notes and the in-client Store once the patch is live. SEA skin price tiers are covered in our guide to buying LoL RP on PC.
FIRESTARTER Song and K/DA EP: Singers and Track List
The “FIRESTARTER” music video premiered on the official League of Legends YouTube channel on Monday, 19 October 2026 at 09:00 WIB (10:00 in Malaysia and Singapore). According to the video description, it was made in partnership with Fortiche, with choreography by Sean Bankhead. Riot Games Music introduced the voice behind each member:
| K/DA member | Singer |
|---|---|
| Ahri | MIYEON (i-dle) |
| Akali | SOYEON (i-dle) |
| Evelynn | Sophie Powers |
| Kai’Sa | Mimi Webb |
The “FIRESTARTER” EP comes out on 21 October at 6 PM Pacific, which is Thursday, 22 October 2026 at 08:00 WIB (09:00 in Malaysia and Singapore). K/DA’s official account posted the track list:
| No. | Track | Featured artists |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | FIRESTARTER | MIYEON and SOYEON (i-dle), Sophie Powers, Mimi Webb |
| 2 | WATCH ME | Sophie Powers, Mimi Webb |
| 3 | NEVER GOING BACK | MIYEON and SOYEON (i-dle) |
| 4 | GIRLS (w/ DJ Sona) | Sophie Powers, Sorana, Royal & the Serpent |
This is K/DA’s first new release since the ALL OUT EP era. In December 2020, K/DA’s official X account closed that era by thanking fans and promising to make music again “one day”. The next teaser only came on 14 October 2026.
A note for Wild Rift players: the official Wild Rift account promoted the music video and pointed out Wild Rift outfits and moves in it, but as of 20 October it has not announced K/DA FIRESTARTER skins for Wild Rift.
Patch 26.21 Lands 21 October: True Damage Know My Name First
Patch 26.21 is scheduled for Wednesday, 21 October 2026. Based on Riot’s announcements so far, it includes:
- True Damage Know My Name skins for Ekko, Akali, Yasuo, Senna, and Qiyana, per the official trailer description. “Know My Name” is the Worlds 2026 anthem.
- True Damage Know My Name Yasuo is a revenue share skin: Riot shares a portion of proceeds with Tier-1 LoL Esports teams as support for Worlds 2026 competitors. The Worlds Swiss Stage starts 24 October at 00:00 WIB (Swiss Stage draw and schedule).
- League Classic: Mordekaiser, Yorick, Hecarim, and Lucian join the mode, the Act II Classic Pass ships with a free track only, and the Classic Store will only hold champions, runes, and rune pages. RP refunds and SEA queue hours are in our League Classic end date article.
Champion and item changes for 26.21 can only be confirmed once the official patch notes are published. As of midday 20 October, the 26.21 patch notes page on the League of Legends site was not live.
