Do players prefer rare and legendary items? The Musou limited edition is twice as expensive, yet it only adds a dual-form feature?

The topic of skins is something the King of Glory community can never finish discussing. If we remove related discussions, the community's activity level would probably drop by half. This doesn't mean that players are particularly wealthy; at least most of them are big spenders. The spending rankings are astonishing. It's no wonder that netizens often joke that Tencent Games (TiMi Studio) has plenty of money. When buying products with real money, you still have to consider the cost-effectiveness. Recently, someone raised a point that's quite worth discussing: comparing rare and legendary skins with limited-edition skins, with constant version changes and frequent collaborations, epic skins have become the foundation, and legendary skins have become widespread, just like ranks. Theoretically, rare and legendary skins are like new epic skins, while limited-edition skins have replaced legendary quality.

Price range

This netizen said that the rare Musou items are both visually appealing and cost-effective, and even more outstanding than the old Musou limited items. It seems to directly negate all past works. Is it really that bad? Let's compare the price range first. The rare legendary items cost around 2000 to 2800 points to draw. If you are lucky, those that cost 1800 points may seem familiar. That's right, they are the regular legendary items from the old version, only with a higher quality.

In contrast, the limited-edition "Peerless" skin requires a guaranteed 4500 points, which is a lucky price; generally, it takes over 5000 points to acquire. The "Rare Peerless" skin doubles in price, with a guaranteed 8000 points, not including the in-game effects for collecting all the skins. From this, we can conclude that "Rare Legendary" skins are the most accessible, half the price of the limited-edition "Peerless" skin, and a third the price of the "Rare Peerless" skin. The reason for the skin tags is for easy identification and differentiation. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean good, and expensive doesn't mean a loss. The core of the spending remains focused on whether players feel satisfied and happy—what they are actually buying with their money.

Special effects

The next section features several rare and legendary items with impressive visuals. "Detective Conan" achieved phenomenal sales upon its initial release, and many fans are still requesting its return. Marco Polo and Phantom Thief Kid are faithful recreations of the original, making it hard not to like them. Even the recent collaboration with the animated film "Ne Zha," featuring the East Sea Dragon King character, boasts a high degree of accuracy, especially with its full-screen dragon eye effect during the ultimate move, its floating and walking characteristics, and its unique features, instantly increasing its rarity.
