Analysis of voting data for returning skins shows that White Tiger's Will remains firmly in first place, while the fate of Mending the Sky is full of ups and downs.

The Rift is once again experiencing a skin craze, with the anniversary skin return vote receiving a warm response. Time flies, and it's hard to believe that we're already having a second round of voting at the beginning of the year. Perhaps this is a warm-up for the Spring Festival event. As the saying goes, the calm before the storm is the calmest. Before the start of the season, there weren't many skins released, so now they're all being promoted at once.

The vote count reflects its ever-growing popularity; it shows who will make the list and who will fall behind. Even if you don't plan to shop, participating will still provide enjoyment, as your vote can influence someone else's interests. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the return rules will remain unchanged: the top three will all return, while those ranked fourth through sixth will have to choose one of the three. For collectors, the third and sixth places will be subject to fluctuating votes, making it as nerve-wracking as watching a TV series.

The top three have a precipitous lead.

With hundreds of millions of players, the top three are largely determined on the first day of voting. A clear lead means that only the later models have a chance to be overtaken. The first place is Bai Li Xuan Ce's White Tiger skin, which has proven to be the highest quality one. Regardless of the hero's combat power, it's an older model with extremely high collectible value. This alone is enough to attract a large number of veteran players to choose its return. Since it's a rare return, buy it without hesitation.

The second place is the most surprising. Daji's "Beyond Time" skin is a mechanical and futuristic style. Is it really the public's favorite? Or is it just supported by Daji's popularity? The Little Fox skin is simple and straightforward to play, with many skin options. The recently released Line Dog skin was available for a six-yuan flash sale. It is far ahead in the votes. It is likely that collectors have teamed up to collect all of her skins.

The Monkey King comes in third, a well-deserved ranking. Whenever a skin returns, the Monkey King's designs are always on point, dominating for years. Making it out of the top six will be a difficult task, and getting past male players is wishful thinking. The next three are close behind: fourth is Sun Shangxiang's "Otherworldly Pact," the first twin skin in the game, with a redesigned rolling animation that's now a backflip, white hair, and a strong anime vibe; fifth is Wang Zhaojun's "Starry Voice"; and sixth is Li Bai's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix."

Poor Nuwa's Sky-Mending skill has reverted to its old ways. With the Year of the Snake limited edition and the 10th anniversary limited edition, the feel is impeccable. In fact, veteran players have been eagerly waiting for the day when Sky-Mending returns. The colorful crystal effects and the sense of impact are great. Previously, the usage rate in the Chinese server was a bit higher. If you play Nuwa, you will definitely have one of the three. If you get tired of playing one, you will add another one.
