Different skins before locking in

I have seen several people who pick their god such as Anhur but then come up in the buyable skins rather than the bog-standard one and they have not locked in, I have tried loads of things that i can think of but never found how to do this,,, any help?

I do not know either, please let me know if you find an answer. From my experience, I have to start with the normal skin, and once I choose the god, then change my skin.

There's either a way that I'm bugged with, or to choose, an auto-selected skin for a god. That is, say you lock in Poseidon and you have poolseidon. When you choose the god, his default selection is the Poolseidon, not his normal skin. I cannot figure out how to modify this. But this is why you see people with skins before they lock in.

Let me know if you find an answer.

Perhaps it's a 'most used' situation? If you use skin 1 more than skin 2, it will automatically select the most used.

Doubt it. I've had both Ra skins (free and alienware) since I started the game, and it still chooses classic Ra.

It's a weird bug. I use Northern Lights Freya and the skin select sticks to that, yet it will not do the same for Amethyst Nu Wa and I have to select it every time.

People have been bugging HiRez about this for months, but I'm guessing it's just low on their list of priorities at the moment.

I found this out recently, when you play a ranked as a character with a skin on then it will lock the skin and automatically assign it to your god for the next games you play the god.

Got it too, I used to start with golden bastet, but after the update it changed to normal...

I think first you need to go to the gods menu outside gameplay, and select your defualt skin by just clicking on it and it should automatically select it. I dont play rank so i dont think that works. Give it a try, maybe if it works?

Your way doesn't work, as I would have noticed it before but my way definitely works.
