Why Isn't Seraphine in K/DA FIRESTARTER?
Seraphine was never an official K/DA member: she guested on 2020's MORE. FIRESTARTER returns to the four core members, and the EP's guest slot went to DJ Sona.

- — First published
Seraphine isn't in K/DA FIRESTARTER because she was never an official member of the group. She appeared with K/DA as a featured guest on the 2020 single "MORE", while K/DA itself has always been four champions: Ahri, Akali, Evelynn and Kai'Sa. The 2026 comeback simply returns to that core four, and Riot has not given any other reason publicly.
Here is what is confirmed, what is not, and where Seraphine fits in the K/DA story.
Was Seraphine ever a K/DA member?
No. Seraphine debuted alongside K/DA during the 2020 "MORE" era, sung by Chinese artist Lexie Liu. But Dexerto is clear that the character "is not a part of the K-Pop group": she was a guest on one song and has her own solo career inside League of Legends lore.
She also appeared in the K/DA ALL OUT skin line, which is a big part of why many players remember her as a member.
| Ahri | Akali | Evelynn | Kai'Sa | Seraphine | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official K/DA member | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| On 2018 "POP/STARS" | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| On 2020 "MORE" | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Guest |
| On 2026 "FIRESTARTER" | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
Did Riot say why Seraphine was left out?
Not in anything published so far. Inven Global describes the comeback as a return "without Seraphine", but gives no reason, and none of the launch coverage quotes Riot on the decision. Any explanation you read beyond "she was never a core member" is speculation.
Who is the guest on the FIRESTARTER EP instead?
The EP does have a guest champion, just not Seraphine. Track four, "GIRLS", is credited as "w/ DJ Sona", with vocals by Sophie Powers, Sorana and Royal & The Serpent, according to Strafe. Just as Seraphine guested on "MORE" in 2020, this era has a guest champion too, and this time it is DJ Sona.

Who is in K/DA FIRESTARTER, then?
The four core members, with two returning and two new voices:
- Ahri — MIYEON (i-dle)
- Akali — SOYEON (i-dle)
- Evelynn — Sophie Powers (new, replacing Madison Beer)
- Kai'Sa — Mimi Webb (new, replacing Jaira Burns)
The full table, with sources, is on our K/DA FIRESTARTER members, singers and voices page.
Could Seraphine come back later?
Nobody outside Riot knows. Seraphine is still a playable champion with her own music identity, and K/DA has used guest artists before, so a future appearance is possible. Treat any "Seraphine is returning" post as a rumour until Riot or the official K/DA channels confirm it.
Can I make Seraphine do the Firestarter dance?
If you have Seraphine fan art or a cosplay photo you are allowed to use, yes. Our generator turns one photo of a person, an anime-style character or a pet into a Firestarter dance clip, and illustrations keep their original art style. See the anime character example.
