Secretly unleashing a powerful move? All skins will be given to the most popular characters – the temptation is irresistible.

After several months of reflection at the end of 2025, the weekly updates following the 10th anniversary celebration were all about hero and equipment adjustments, previewing the reforms for this season. After the start of S42, the page was magnificent and full of new content, including a collaboration with Line Dog, and skins were being released one after another, mostly for brave heroes, as well as legendary, rare, and epic skins. The year's KPIs were guaranteed to be met and exceeded.

The Moral Warriors love to use blackmail during every game promotion.

With the release of the limited-edition game, there will inevitably be demanding customers and overprotective parents complaining that the official team went to great lengths during the Spring Festival, offering a bunch of new product discounts and game events to lure players back. The purpose of the New Year is to enjoy family time, but now it has stolen their attention. They play games during the week and then step into the online game world again during the holiday. Even the red envelopes given as New Year's money are immediately handed over to the game to purchase limited-edition Year of the Horse items, gift packs, and cumulative recharge rewards.

Games are commodities, or you can think of them as brands. The Spring Festival is a business opportunity, just like shopping malls have promotional activities, such as discounts on New Year's clothes, buy-one-get-one-free deals, and rushing to buy New Year's goods. Honor of Kings is a business for Tencent, a commercial operation. New Year's clothes are a must. Your child's favorite hero might need a new outfit, which is not much different from the dolls hanging on backpacks or handbags. Heroes are also trendy toys with personalized artistic designs and collectible value. Showing off blind boxes in real life and demonstrating skin effects in the game are symbols of fashion and provide emotional satisfaction.

Angela: Candy Storm

Instead of smearing and spreading rumors, it's better to share the joy with the people. Consumer concepts vary from person to person, and it's impossible to shift the blame onto Tencent. Looking back at the recently released skins, it's clear that the official team isn't holding back at all. Almost all the designs are focused on the most popular ones. Angela's Candy Storm skin, priced at 60 points, is the first to be released. Although it's only of the Brave quality, news of it has been circulating for some time. Rumors suggest it's an overseas version, and it has received unanimous praise. Its design is completely different from the Chinese version, making it quite outstanding. The special effects don't need to be flashy; users are expected to buy it just for collection. It was a 6-yuan flash sale, and after Suzhou, there were no more boats to catch it.

Angela boasts 4 Epic tiers, 1 Rare Legendary tier, and 1 Legendary tier. Positioned as a free-to-play character, her skills are simple and straightforward. She has the highest pick rate among all heroes, reaching 36.2% in some tests, which is truly remarkable.
