Looking back at previous limited-time return events, do you still remember the skin obsession you had back then?

Honor of Kings, which has been running for ten years, is completely different from previous versions, even five years ago. Returning veteran players will definitely feel very unfamiliar, as if it were a new game. Not only have the heroes been redesigned, but the output environment and ranking mechanism have also been drastically changed. In the past, everyone complained about the ELO mechanism, saying that the system manipulated players' win rates, and that winning streaks were inevitably followed by losing streaks. Although it is still a mystery, at least for now there is a gold medal plus two stars, and top lane plus three stars, which accelerates the rank upgrade. After playing the game for many years, no one expected that it would undergo such a reform.

Skin quality has been upgraded, and the Glory Collection skins have been phased out. Back then, everyone was obsessed with Epic skins, with personalized buttons and special offers – the official channels would never sell them cheaply. As time went on, Rare and Unparalleled skins emerged, and marketing focused on lotteries, much like a world-exploration game where characters are sold. In King of Glory, there are rare and beautiful skins. The Brave skins have caught up with the old Epic skins. These so-called classics are probably beneath the notice of newbies. The 10th-anniversary limited-time releases are all Dragon Year limited-times, and the Amber Era collaboration, any Valentine's Day, 520 limited-time, or Chinese Glory Festival skins, are all obsolete.

Second Anniversary Celebration

Time flies, so let's take a look back at the limited-time skin returns from previous years and see if you still remember the skin obsession you had back then. In 2017, during the second anniversary celebration of Honor of Kings, the return voting event wasn't yet governed by any established rules; it was simply a matter of bringing back popular skins. The rules were strict, with only the top two skins being selected for direct sale in the store. The most popular skin designs that year were undoubtedly Phoenix Seeking Flight, Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, and Supreme Treasure. These three names have been passed down through the ages, classics among classics, and extremely rare. Supreme Treasure is a favorite among Monkey King players, reigning supreme with its second-place finish. Interestingly, Phoenix Seeking Flight and Phoenix Seeking Phoenix became a bundled skin, like matching outfits, ranking first and returning together. After many years, they can no longer enter the voting pool, so it's unknown if there's any chance of them returning.

Third Anniversary Celebration

In 2018, during the third anniversary celebration, the representative returning works were Frozen God of War and Monkey King. The former was an anniversary limited edition, and there were no free benefits at that time, only sales in the store. The latter became the first anniversary limited edition to return. The competition was fierce, with the popular Eternal Star, Engine Execution, and Wuling Immortal Lord among the opponents. Only they stood out, which was really not easy.
