Despite their unattractive appearance, these skins offer excellent feel, stunning effects, and even include Star Guardian skins.

With the continuous updates to Honor of Kings, skin marketing is a major source of revenue. Not every player intends to be a collector and collect all the skins, but as time goes by, the number has unknowingly reached more than 700. With unique images and diverse designs, aesthetic fatigue is inevitable over time.

Veteran players have witnessed the transformation of the times. In the past, it would take half a year or even a year to complete a new system. Later, several players would log in at once, which is what players call the "skin rain". This lasted for several years and was complained about. Players were concerned about making money and neglecting the game experience. Until the manipulation of the overall score and the time it took to climb the ranks took off, the Meng Tian chicken claw style became popular, and the game ushered in another major reform.

Abandon appearance, choose feel

Afterwards, new skin quality was added, with the Glory Collection skins receiving less attention, while limited-edition and rare legendary skins became the mainstream. Direct sales in the store decreased significantly, and event-based skins appeared frequently, with collaboration series being the main focus. With so many designs, it's impossible to satisfy everyone's requirements. There were praises and criticisms, and some even went to forums to joke that the Chinese server had run out of ideas, while the international server was more interesting and had fewer bundled features. Well-received skins are limited-time sales and may not return. Skins deemed unattractive will also have buyers; beauty is subjective and difficult to define. Aesthetically pleasing skins may not be functional, and functional skins may not be aesthetically pleasing. This is easy to understand. High-quality visuals attract attention and lead to immediate purchases. After testing, those who prefer skins with excellent feel and smooth operation enjoy greater efficiency. Given the choice between the two, which would you choose?

Eye of Hell

This time, let's talk about some ugly yet popular skins and see if your answer matches. First up is Miyamoto Musashi's Hell's Eye. While it's a somewhat boring legendary skin, it's undeniably cool in a way. The dark style suggests a hellish theme, with red and purple tones. The poster is very imposing, but the in-game model is a stark contrast. The character's stance is ordinary, lacking the expected imposing presence. It's cool, but the Hell's Eye remains a classic. Its imposing presence is entirely conveyed through special effects. The sword energy that binds the soul-devouring blade seems to draw blood with every strike. It lacks a cute little face and vibrant sword light; the simple design still exudes a sense of luxury, definitely deserving of legendary status. Most importantly, the feel is acceptable. Compared to SNK Haohmaru, it has the appearance, faithfully recreating the classic, but the special effects are lackluster.
