TOP 10 PRINZ EUGEN SKINS
You know the drill – it’s a shallow dip top ten or top ten on the spot for the game designs or ‘skins’ of Prinz Eugen, third top girl of Azur Lane and flagship girl for the Ironblood faction (and one of the most iconic girls of the game in general). All art is fair use for the purpose of depicting the skins as they appear from the official game designs featured in the fan wiki.
And she even had enough official skins for a top ten, except for my tenth place I had to add from cosplay. Still, we could always do with more Prinz Eugen skins.
A-TIER (TOP TIER)
(1) UNFADING SMILE (SUMMER)
As I noted in Prinz Eugen’s entry in my Top 10 Girls of Azur Lane, she’s one of those rare Azur Lane ship-girls with a Race Queen design – but even rarer where that design is eclipsed by another of her designs, namely her Unfading Smile or summer microkini swimsuit design.
It also gets the lion’s share of her art and cosplay, scoring my Sciamano ranking from one of my favorite Sciamano pieces featuring her in this design as well as my Hane Ame ranking. And yes – Hane Ame rocks Prinz Eugen cosplay, particularly in this skin (as well as a few other skins), potentially ranking her Prinz Eugen cosplay in my Top 10 Hane Ame cosplay.
(2) FINAL LAP (RACE QUEEN)
It was a close call for this in second place – both in only just missing out on first place and also stiff competition from my third place entry – but hey, it’s a Race Queen skin and I do like my Azur Lane Race Queens!
Although it is odd to think that her Race Queen design is actually less skimpy than her microkini in her first place entry.
No Hane Ame cosplay but one of Yummychiyo’s finest knockout cosplays.
(3) DEFAULT
A surprisingly close call narrowly missing out on second place – I do like a woman in uniform, particularly a uniform like this one, but on the other hand, Race Queen! (And Yummychiyo cosplay!)
Still, when Azur Lane leans into my military uniform design fetish as well as it does here, it’s hard to beat.
Also, it scores my Sciamano ranking, as Sciamano nicely did an alternate version of art with her in this design. There’s also Kittew’s art of her in this design.
Sadly, no cosplay from my favorite models.
B-TIER (HIGH TIER)
(4) MUSE
One of a number of new pop star or muse skins Azur Lane did for a number of their characters – but Prinz Eugen characteristically has one of the best.
(5) BRILLIANT TOUCHDOWN
Another relatively new skin for Prinz Eugen – exactly what it says on the tin, Prinz Eugen in a fetish version of American football player.
(6) WEDDING
I do! It’s hard to resist a classic white wedding lingerie!
And happily there is Hane Ame cosplay!
(7) KINDRED EVENING SPIRITS
Hello, maid!
(8) PROFUSION OF FLOWERS
A racy kimono New Year design!
And there’s Hane Ame cosplay!
(9) CORDIAL CORNFLOWER
Party design – classic little black dress!
X-TIER (WILD TIER)
(10) NURSE
Not an official skin but it should be! Rounding out my top ten with this sizzling Hane Ame cosplay – too sizzling to include here, even if I did include cosplay!
