Overwatch: 15 Best Skins So Far - Ranked

10. Baihu - White Tiger Warrior Genji

Genji has been blessed with quite a few amazing skins, partially because it's hard to make a badass cyborg ninja look uncool, especially when his base design is already one of the coolest in the game.

Pinning down his best was a difficult decision, but most agree on his top 3: his dark, canonical Blackwatch skin, his cool-looking and fun Sentai skin, and his impressive Baihu skin.

Baihu won out in the end, if only for what it did to Genji's sword, as well as being a solid skin overall. Themed after the White Tiger of Chinese constellations and released during Lunar New Year, this skin gives Genji the ornate armour and fur and roaring headpiece of the white tiger. It even turns his ultimate into a tiger instead of a dragon, and changes his voice lines both in English and Japanese to say white tiger (and "Byakko", the Japanese term for such).

Genji's sword in this skin is a fan-favourite, a straight blade totally different from its katana-esque counterparts, with characters along the blade reading 干将 (Gan Jiang), the name of a famous ancient Chinese swordsmith, as well as the name of a famous sword he forged.
