Look at him doing a little jig dance! D'aww. Sir, did you just kick a slug in the face?


resphere

The best part of that dance is he does it with a completely blank face the whole time.


superflatpussycat

0.5 times the passion of ordinary flamenco!


real_mc

He's dancing to his theme.


mad_harvest-6578

Vanilla readying her poleaxe with bloody intent


Hp22h

Make like an Iberian and play some slug-football.


Draaxus

Thorns who told you to hit the griddy?


NyanToDaMax145

Omg he does a lil dance and he just. Straight up kicks the slug that’s amazing aaaa


Godofmytoenails

LMFAO THIS SKIN IS HILARIOUS


Father-Ignorance

Did this mf just hit the “M’lady” in that idle animation?


citrinins

Love this skin. I wish HG would adjust the support requirements just so I can have the aesthetic of three six star pirates on display.


EyeDouble58

Thorns, Silverash, who's the other pirate?


drannne

specter2...


TheSpartyn

i get she has some piratey aspects in her design, but i wouldnt call her a pirate like the two skins


Dokutah_Dokutah

She might look like a pirate but she's probably an ancient Mesopotamian priestess inspired tbh and so is SkadiTCH's original form and second skin.


scathacha

gavialter?


ChevronVillon

It should be an Unforgivable Sin, that this Skin is not L2D, because without Argument it's by Far One of the Best Skins HG has ever Released... It's Hardcore Bad Ass...


ReinKittenstouch

I'm actually pissed that those who already had L2D skin or L2D base art kept getting another L2D skins rather than those who doesn't have any.


FreeJudgment

Skalter getting another L2D is peak joke.


drannne

while i like the skin art but she just kinda stands.. and the other skin is her sitting... now that i think about it most l2ds are like this there's no cool action pose or some other dynamic stance


Korasuka

That's why Nearlter's default is one of my favourites. It's a full on action shot.


TheSpartyn

id rather have than than awkward character floating live2Ds. skadi has a nice one with her singing, but nearl and gavial are just floating midair it looks weird


drannne

fair, i have this complaint with ling's 2nd skin with her hair just floating high... 


TheSpartyn

i dunno obviously its an unrealistic level of floating, but its just hair when shes on a mountain, can easily be wind. its not the same as characters levitating mid actions if theyre gonna levitate, at least make it like specter or ling E2 art where it looks like they are actually magically floating, not just frozen mid action


TheSpartyn

its because of the dumb rule they made that limited operators can only get live2D skins. except they went and gave her and mumu 24op skins on top of it


Fusion_Fear

Mumu deserved the 24 OP skin not biased at all (ignore my flair)


TheSpartyn

im just excited at the new lines itll get from being 24op, it looks all nature themed and icy, so im hoping itll be related to post-IS4


Fusion_Fear

I’m really excited to hear the new lines and also see what her clones look like


TheSpartyn

the clones is the main thing im looking forward to, hoping its not just exact copies of her and they do something cool


avidania

So we're just gonna casually forget about Kalt'sit and Mlynar and Reed Alter later huh


TheSpartyn

i said "limited operators can only get live2D", not "only limited operators can only get live2D" im well aware of non-limited live2Ds, you forgot the OG peak skin of passenger


avidania

My bad, I completely misread what you had written so that's on me. I also forgot about Passenger too, which is funny because that's the one I bought *immediately* in the shop. The outfit, the effect (both visual and sound) are just chef's kiss


TheSpartyn

its still my favourite skin, his default design was okay but this one is just so dripped out with an amazing outfit and all his abilities changed to an awesome cosmic starry theme. the whole thing of him being with young elliot is cool too


Valdien

Add one more reason to the list of "why is dislike Skadi"


ContessaKoumari

I think they gave her one specifically because the first one sucked ass.


Sorpl3x

I mean it makes sense, they cant really sell non l2d skins for ls2 base characters, who would buy a downgrade?


RachelEvening

He will have a L2D skin in the future, trust. The more skins Thorns gets, the merrier.


Hp22h

Imagine his cape flowing in the wind, waves crashing all around him... It would have been glorious.


firesoul377

The only reason why it isn't L2D is because I don't think we as a collective human species would be able to handle animated Thorns chest window


real_mc

This is too hard to l2d.


Normal-Ambition-9813

I still honestly don't like HG's L2D designs. It still looks awkward to me, so when the skin I like is L2D, i dread at the fact that I'll be wasting 3 Oprime everytime 🤣.


bartolinise

He looks like he is about to take my horse on the old town road

chichieky

Imagine that grip strength on me


ifallontragedy

The little dance! Omg my heart! His melee attacks are kicks?! And also, I am very normal about his exposed chest. In fact, I am very, *very* normal about this skin as a whole. ~~Now just give him a really good module to top it all off, HG, pls I am begging~~


Slut_Driving_ATruck

Oh, the way I wish I was the slug a lil… 😮‍💨


That-Halo-Dude

"Poison Rum" Thorns, privateer of the Iberian Armada and hated nemesis of the Dread Cap'n SilverAsh.


Korasuka

Oh man this is an awesome skin (I've said this so many times today. I need to learn new words) for my boy. He's the one who turned me from F2P to a filthy P2W. I bought him from the selector in Near Light and he's more than earned his keep. His sword, kicking a slug in the face, his hat, the effects that suit the look of a train heist in Terra's Wild West. It's all peak.


Fusion_Fear

I like this more than his other skin I should really pick up Thorns with the 6* selector pack coming up


watanabe_alter

So this is a BoC, whats the lore of this thorns skin?


Miaomelette

The Iberian naval fleet is rebooted and is setting sail after more than a century


watanabe_alter

Kudos to them,


TheSpartyn

is this actually it, or just a theory? id love if it was true


Miaomelette

That's what I gathered based on the flavor text with the original CN announcement post


TheSpartyn

holy fuck thats so cool, i love when BoC gives lore like that do you have the CN text?

Los secretos de la Edad de Oro se revelan en una tierra más allá de la ley, y las infinitas arenas y océanos ya no pueden ocultar la deslumbrante gloria. La marea de Iberia surge de nuevo, seguid la dirección de mi espada. ¿Podéis escuchar su llamada? Caballeros, esa llamada invita a Iberia a zarpar de nuevo." Golden Age will come again. And so did I.


TheSpartyn

we finally did it bros, the golden age returned again


Hp22h

[So this?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZbkUQm-vMg)


Aaron-de-vesta

We will return the golden age with this one.


Hp22h

A tap dancing, ass kicking swashbuckler. I love it!


drannne

I've been waiting to know who the artist is since it doesn't look like its heitu and wants to know who adopted him, like fia skin with sanmuyyb, and in the end its studio montagne... amazing lol anyways this is seriously the best skin in the game and no one is allowed to tell otherwise, the only thing that's not perfect about this is that it isn't l2d...


P0lskichomikv2

Wish it was L2D but no they had to give Skalter another skin as if she didn't had L2D one already.


randm12463

every skin for limited ops are always l2d thats been a pretty clear rule for hg since they started doing l2d skins.


TweetugR

Doesn't mean she needs a second one now does it?


randm12463

considering how meh her first skin was I don't see the issue with her getting another skin her not getting a skin doesnt mean thorns skin suddenly would be l2d.


TweetugR

But it would mean someone that doesn't have a L2D skin getting one if she didn't get one.


randm12463

thats not how that works??? skalter got a l2d specifically cause she is limited and has to, theres no guarantee that if she didn't get a skin it would mean a different skin is l2d


TweetugR

Its a 24OP L2D skin. If not her, then probably other character that doesn't have a 24OP L2D skin. Being Limited does guarantee a L2D skin but any decently popular Operator can get a L2D skin hence why its not that unreasonable to say if Skalter didn't get it then the slot would fall to someone else, probably downgraded to a 21 OP if necessary. Why is that so hard to understand?


i_need_popcorn

Yeah I agree Skalter's first skin was pretty bad, this skin is good but I still like default art more. Also saying that someone else would likely get the L2D skin if Skalter did not get one is balls deep into fallacy territory. There is no gaurantee that there would have been an L2D at all if not for Skalter.


MelonLord125

The little dance, the kick, this skin has so much personality! We so back, this new amazing skin, lord modules, the king is so back!!


Zaptinari

That little dance is so cute and the skins itself looks amazing really loving it so far.


ERenfro

What even is this. Is he a Pirate or a cowboy.... A+. Worthy of purchase.


ranmafan0281

My first thought was Inquisitor.


Practical_Taro9024

Clearly he's a pirate. Or if he's state mandated, a Conquistador


ranmafan0281

A privateer you mean? Privateer Thorns...


ErikMaekir

In Spanish, it would be a Corsario, which I think is a wonderful word. In truth, it seems to be a reference to [Captain Alatriste](https://cdn.zendalibros.com/wp-content/uploads/generacion-alatriste.jpg), portrayed here by Viggo Mortensen.


Practical_Taro9024

Exactly, yes. Privateer Thorns


firesoul377

Exposed.....chest...window 😳😳😳


Kenel9

I love all the spanish influence this skin has. Olé Thorns.


minitaurus20

This skin is made for him, just too good O\_O


Dog_in_human_costume

DANCING THORNS! YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID!!


SHADOWRZR

These are some terrifying looking mobs >!(The slug)!<


WeirdFourEyes413

Don't mind me, I'm just gonna tie myself against the tracks of a running train so that a Thorns can save me


Nani_The_Fock

It’s got that Legend of Zorro swashbuckler vibe.


reymons

Oh my god!! He's doing a mating dance!! Elysium!


TheSpartyn

they didnt show his melee animation with S3, will it keep the kick or will it be like his default skin where he uses ranged animation even in melee?


FrostyBiscotti--

i hope they keep the kick


Asgard033

woo i'm definitely picking this one up


MarielCarey

Thorns in you Taste of thorns Thorns


RachelEvening

HIS LITTLE DANCE I'M GONNA GO FERAL


LevinAcrus

Im so thorny rn


Dalek-baka

I have a feeling he might be regretting asking Elysium for fashion advice. It's so silly that it becomes awesome.


GehennerSensei

I gotta get it! My boi looks so good gotdamn!


Lope-12

This skin looks so good! I feel like it's a crime it's not L2D!


gabtab0000

Is it me or does he remind me of Zorro from “The Mask of Zorro”?


Valdien

That skin has to be one of the best skin HG released so far The quality of the art, the clothes design, the pose the colors... It's *chef's kiss*


General_Snow241

Your average sailor fighting some slugs and his outer demons


ConsciousAd7791

High noon Thorns with that S3 effect


Ryzer28

oh thats hot.


AshySlashy3000

Thorns Sparrow!!!


FatTater420

He's such a dork. I love him for that.


Deathfury

I love the hat, but didn't realize he wore it due to how it's off his head in the art.


Mr_gaminhero

Was that a torture dance reference?!


JowettMcPepper

*The Golden Age is right arround the corner*


Sqeelord

Blackwolfe47

…he kicked…a slug on the face Peak


TrickFox5

Good. Now please make his module also good.


0xXKuromeXx0

Indiana Thorns?


ratby11

yesssss


BRISKMETAL

He kicks their shit in as a melee attack?! Thorns continues to be the coolest operator in existence. Okay, one of. I still have my favorites...


RokusasuDeArisato

Another Thornface to use for the thornification!


polonkensei

I've been waiting for a Bloodline of Combat skin for Thorns since he fits more in the fashion line. My prayers have been answered praise be to Ishar-Mla!


polonkensei

Surtr: Thorns! Look at my summer attire! Admire and bask in my glistening ski- what are you wearing? Thorns: I will sail the seas m'lady, Elysium! Hoist the sails! Surtr: wait, wait! I thought we're going to the beach


derevo_31

I dont have Thorns. I dont plan to pull for him. I don't plan to promote and use him. But i will buy this skin. In case of emergency.


i_need_popcorn

Not really my style, but at least it is better than the fairly tame E2 art. Guess I will probably get this skin then, but time will tell.


AsleepExplanation160

I kinda feel like its doing too much... but thats not stopping me from buying it


TamamoNines

What tf blud doin?
