The Fragment Shop has been updated, featuring the new hero Lu Ban No. 7. Is Lu Ban No. 7 Run worth redeeming?

The Spring Festival is only two weeks away. Time flies, and it's almost February. Valentine's Day comes first, and Lunar New Year's Eve is just a few days away. I wonder how the official team plans to promote it? In any case, the skin rain next month is inevitable, because the game seems to be warming up with early benefits.

The Fragment Shop updates twice within a month.

I remember the Spring Festival of 2025 was incredibly lively, with limited-edition Year of the Snake skins, new Honor Collection skins, 6-yuan flash sales, new additions to the King of Glory Shop, and collaborative productions. After uploading the resource pack, updating the game, and logging in, the barrage of comments was full of skin announcements. I could barely hold onto my New Year's money. This time, however, a few new items have arrived ahead of schedule, including Lu Bu's Collection skin and Wang Zhaojun's FMVP skin. The most bizarre thing is that the Fragment Shop unexpectedly added Lu Ban No. 7's new skin, named "Banban Run," which costs 48 fragments.

The accelerated consumption of items is evident to everyone, inevitably leading to hesitation: is it worth redeeming? Even posts on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) are debating this, demonstrating the irresistible charm of Lu Ban No. 7. Collaboration projects are coming one after another, and this one is a permanent fixture in the store. Unless you're a collector or a newbie, it's recommended to get it. If you don't often play marksmen, the answer is clear: no need to rush. The skin won't disappear, and besides, a careful comparison of value reveals that the 288-fragment Arcade Kid skin is several times more valuable, boasting unique walking animations and multiple Star Guardian items.

Redemption is not recommended; a major collaboration is coming up.

The key point is that, based on past examples, we've witnessed collaborative sets continuously offering epic and hero skins as part of the rewards. Examples include Hou Yi's Shi Tian Yu Long from the Japanese anime *Bleach*, Zhang Liang and Nezha from *The Legend of Luo Xiaohei*, Princess Anna from *Frozen*, and Tu Shan Rongrong from *Fox Spirit Matchmaker*. Even the Line Dog and Sang Qi hero skins from Season 42 were placed in the shop and were all available for limited-time exchange. This pattern of offering skins has been repeated within a year, with the frequency increasing. Don't forget that *Nezha: The Demon Child Conquers the Dragon King* has already been officially announced. Following this pattern, it's highly likely that one or even two skins will be free, though the acquisition method is unknown. At this point, it's advisable not to waste your skin fragments, as they will gradually become rare items, and you'll eventually have to use in-game currency to purchase them.
