Event-exclusive items will no longer have event tags; they will be released in large quantities in 2024, and their value will drop to zero in 2025. (II)

Players are discerning and rational consumers; they won't be fooled by game developers. Take the major 10th anniversary event, the limited-time coupon shop, for example. Back then, with the 60 free draws given away by the official team, most people went to Xiaohongshu to show off their crystals or legendary loot. In other words, the benefits of each version milestone had already been figured out. For the simple Glory Treasure Hunt, everyone had already planned to accumulate Treasure Hunt coupons to save for the triple probability event.

The Rose Treasure Pavilion, and even the monthly gift book, contain new epic items, including a fragment shop, accelerating item usage. Heroic skins lose their value, and since players haven't yet reached the guaranteed epic reward, how do they choose their rewards? They abandon the hero skin and opt for 20 fragments or 4 treasure hunt tickets. Looking further ahead, there's a sky-high-priced skin that's getting closer and closer; who has time to care about the event's hero skin? Unless it's a city-wide collaboration, like "Little Luo's Dark War Chronicles" or "Nezha: The Demon Child Conquers the Dragon King," yes, those without the "event-exclusive" tag, at least have a collaboration tag, guaranteeing rarity and clearly conveying the message that once missed, it's gone, naturally leading to frequent updates and diligent event promotions.

Exclusive to the event, it inexplicably became a limited edition in 2025, but in contrast, it was launched in droves in 2024. Do you still remember the styles that were once available?

2016: Two models

The earliest event-exclusive skins were created in 2016. It sounds retro, but the designs are still vivid in our minds. There were Liu Bei's New York Godfather and Bian Que's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The latter got a Star Guardian set and the special effects were recolored, so it had a peak period and a particularly high appearance rate. Unfortunately, the quality of the skins is no longer good enough. Not to mention the New York Godfather skin. The reason why everyone was attracted to it was because of the beautiful and sexy girl in the poster. The optimized poster has been officially removed. The skin itself has ordinary special effects and modeling. It would be better to replace it with other skins. The Trendy Builder skin and the Trendy series are far superior to the event tag.

2019: Two models

Three years later, the event-exclusive skin returned: Jiang Ziya's Fiery Elementalist. At that time, Jiang Ziya didn't have the Epic Fisherman skin, so he didn't need a companion skin. The remaining option was the event-exclusive Warrior skin, which at least had recolored skills. Later, a season-limited skin appeared, with a significantly improved quality, and it was abandoned. Sun Bin's Return to the Ruins Dream performance skin followed the "Star Squad concept," with team members including Xi Shi, Yao, Lu Ban, and Meng Ya, all wearing Jixia Academy uniforms.
