In a collaboration between Tuxedo Esports and Rivals of Aether, you can now obtain the slickest version of Ranno that has ever set foot in Aether.
Ever since Tuxedo won our Rivals Rep Icon Contest, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to create this brand new skin with them. We hope you enjoy the results!
Features Include:
Ranno fights without his patented poison sash in order to look more dapper.
He fires roses with thorns instead of poison darts.
He wears a tuxedo! Every sprite has been redrawn with suit and tie.
When he taunts, he throws a rose! It reminds us of something…
Proceeds from this skin are split 50/50 between Tuxedo and Rivals of Aether Esports. If you’d like a way to get a sweet skin and support competitive Rivals at the same time, this is a great way to do both.
Welcome back for the latest community roundup, where we highlight our favorite fan-made Rivals art, music, videos, and more. If you see something you like don’t forget to show the creators some love by letting them know or giving them a follow.
VIDEOS
7loco put together a seriously beautiful combo video for their new Ori Community Montage.
The 4th installment of the Rivals community Discord Combo Contest (ran by Pantch) is under way. This time it’s bigger than ever with a $250 prize pool and a sweet trailer.
Anguish has some great dev mode videos showcasing how to get started with it if you’re new, as well as some montages of his own builds.
Destination: Fight 5 took place a few weeks ago and featured some of the European scene’s best. You can find the whole top 8 on their channel.
And rounding things off with a few combo videos we liked:
We love seeing players get to make memories at locals.
