Stat Impact

What Metal Skin actually gives you

Metal Skin delivers 12% bullet resist, -1.5mm active movespeed penalty, and -20% dash distance. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Metal Skin

Metal Skin performs strongest on Seven (43.8% WR across 38,612 games), Infernus (43.4% WR across 46,021 games), and Victor (42.2% WR across 29,176 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.

Most Picked By

Who buys Metal Skin the most

In terms of raw pickup volume, Metal Skin shows up most on Infernus (46,021 games), Drifter (45,374 games), and Silver (41,668 games). High pickup does not always mean high performance, so cross reference this list with the best heroes card above before blindly copying a build.
