Why not give them Epic rank? These heroes are making an exception and skipping the Brave rank, taking the Legendary rank and above.

Thanks to the collaboration with the animated series, the topic of skins has returned to the forums and never stops. Every time a new product is launched, people want to look back, make comparisons, and find the clever details between them. The special treatment and the unfathomable arrangements made by the planners are evident in how they calculate all kinds of possibilities for every step they take, such as sales, compatibility, hero status, skill mechanics, etc. Ordinary people see a product, but those who conduct market research are witnessing how TiMi (the game developer) builds brands for heroes.

Undeniably, games also have their own routines and rules, but occasionally exceptions are made and things don't follow the rules. Initially, the "Hero" skin was a friendly label, while Epic skins were not cheap and Legendary skins were even more expensive. Therefore, players accepted it passively. After the quality was upgraded, Epic skins became more common, Legendary skins were discounted, and the "Hero" skin seemed to be just a quantity to be obtained as a transitional period. The desire to get it for free disappeared. Unless there was no other way to get skins to change the appearance, players would reluctantly wear a recolored "Hero" skin.

The most practical item is undoubtedly the Epic skin, offering the best value for money. During the promotional period, it includes personalized buttons, unique voice lines, and an entrance animation. Get it at half price! The game has been running for ten years, with numerous version changes. Even players' spending habits have changed. They've set their sights higher, seemingly wanting to surpass this level. However, there are exceptions. Among the hundreds of heroes, some have indeed skipped levels and haven't obtained any Epic skins yet. First, there's Wu Zetian, whose price is equivalent to a Glory Crystal. Skins are hard to come by. There's also another Glory Collection skin in the shop. Simply put, Wu Zetian alone is enough to consume two Glory Crystals. The Brave East Invincible skin doesn't feel right. Upgrade by looking for Ocean Heart. There's a Star Element set that's very affordable, available for exchange in the limited-time point shop. Another limited-edition Unparalleled skin is also available for a limited time. Playing this hero, it's really hard to buy skins. Legendary skins are the foundation.

The second is Li Xin, with three forms and strong potential for customization. But have you noticed that he has never been sold as an Epic? After his initial release, the next one was the World Champion, followed by the limited edition. This year's Ink-Dyed Jianghu second installment added the Peerless Limited Edition. So, One Thought God and Demon is the threshold. Its existence raises the prestige of Legendary, making consumers feel that it's a loss not to sell limited editions. Direct sales are like Warriors, nothing special. Once you focus on the next tier of models, there's really no going back.
