Secretly unleashing a powerful move? All skins will be awarded to the most popular characters – an irresistible temptation. (Part Three)

Having played Honor of Kings for several years, over time, even without checking forums, one naturally comes to understand the patterns of skin updates and the fixed formulas that players use to analyze version trends and deduce skin ownership.

Seasonal skins are almost always reserved for unpopular heroes. They might be a staple in high-level matches, but their pick rate is extremely low. Even if a skin is released, no one will care about it. The design is unacceptable, and the mechanics are difficult to play. Who would buy it? Why not turn it into a free gift, one of the rewards for changing seasons? Its mystery encourages players to collect King's Marks. After four seasons, in the new year, they can directly get the seasonal skin. Otherwise, they have to meet certain conditions and use Time-Space Charging to get the reward.

Xiang Yu: Nine Netherworlds Guardian Pass

As expected of a year of reform, this year's limited-edition skin features Xiang Yu, whose popularity and strength are above average. He can be played in the top lane or roam, and is currently the dominant force in the side lanes, with a 20.2% pick rate, which is expected to continue rising. The only uncertainty is whether the limited-edition skin directly boosted his usage frequency or if his dominance has persisted until now.

Xiang Yu's Nine Netherworld Guardian skin is quite well-designed, comparable to Cao Cao's legendary skin. The character is a guardian general, incorporating fantasy elements into ancient-style armor. On the battlefield, he wields a long sword entangled with lingering resentment, charging towards his target at lightning speed, with flames surging out. His ultimate skill leaves a trail of raging flames, creating explosive special effects and an imposing image. The best part is that it's free.

Xiang Yu currently possesses 4 epic and 1 legendary items, which is a somewhat disappointing number, but considering the quality of the "brave" items, you can tell that he is approachable.

Lu Bu: Thousand Nightmares Return to the Abyss

The new season is about to begin, starting with the Line Dog collaboration, followed by the Glory Collection skin. On January 8th, Lu Bu's first Glory Collection skin will be released, along with a long-awaited update to the Glory Shop, attracting much attention. After all, many players are taking advantage of the 60 points lottery tickets given away during the 10th anniversary celebration, spending zero money and only one crystal, just waiting for an attractive skin to redeem.

With its unique theme and dual-form characteristics, it's a demonized and uniquely cool look, complete with cyberpunk elements. Some say it resembles the Hundred-Form Guardian Dream. Lu Bu's combat power is weak, but his popularity makes him stand out. Many true fans can't wait to wear it. It's a well-known top-tier hero. There are 3 epic, 4 legendary, and 1 collector's edition, which is quite prestigious. Its appearance rate ranks third in the top lane, making it another popular hero.
