How can support heroes maintain skin sales even without new skin releases? (Part 2)

Donghuang Taiyi and Yao are both frequently banned. Interestingly, they both have few skin options, especially the more cost-effective epic skins. They don't like the brave skins, and the only remaining options are legendary or higher.

Seventh to sixth place

The seventh and eighth places were given to Cai Wenji's "Flower Festival as Promised" and Sun Bin's "Little Animal Paradise," respectively. The latter's selection was quite unexpected. The quality is high, and it's a legendary production, but unfortunately, the theme isn't very appealing. Fairy tale themes lack a market. Compared to the Year of the Tiger limited edition, "Tiger Spreads Wings," the design is much better, especially the sound effects during the countdown of the ultimate skill's magic circle. The model highlights its good looks, and it's rare that it's not mechanized. The "Little Animal Paradise" image is excellent, but despite the poor reviews, its sales are not low, which is truly astonishing. Is it that everyone underestimated its potential, or is reality forcing them to buy it?

The seventh-ranked Flower Festival skin, as expected, is well-deserved. As part of the China Glory Festival series, it has been optimized once. Previously criticized for its overweight figure, netizens frankly pointed out its strange proportions. The revised version includes a new Flower Goddess easter egg, significantly enhancing its appeal. The advantage of this legendary skin is that it's available directly in the store and can be purchased anytime.

Sixth to fifth place

Fifth and sixth place are Zhuang Zhou's "Shepherd's Journey" and Doriya's companion skin. The phenomenon is not hard to understand. There are rumors that it will be sold directly. Who would be willing to buy a "Brave" skin for their main character as a temporary measure? Free is fine, but after playing for a long time, people pursue the feel of the game. The legend is really gone forever. In addition, it is Zhuang Zhou's best-rated skin. Changing the anchor point of the Rain Butterfly and replacing it with a sheep is a perfect match for the hero's personality. It loses a bit of the poetic feeling. Lazily lying on the clouds, feeling casual, it feels stress-free to play.

Zhuang Zhou is not a popular support hero. His strength lies in removing negative effects and his area-of-effect purification, which makes him a target for many players. However, his pick rate is average, and he cannot be considered a top-tier support. The higher the rank, the fewer people play him. Furthermore, with the emergence of warriors and tanks who can switch to support roles, Zhuang Zhou has become increasingly less popular. His epic skill, "Dream Dream," has become history and is considered outdated. As for other heroes, there is no comparison.

The sixth-ranked Golden Tide skin is no surprise. It's a hero's companion skin, and many Doria users are waiting for its limited-time return on 520. The anniversary voting is fierce, so don't miss out. For new Summoners who want a good-looking skin, this is the only option.
