Honor of Kings officially announced a collaboration with China Literature Group; is a crossover IP with Douluo Continent possible? (Part 2)

With matching appearances and different attack patterns, designers still have ways to modify and unleash their creativity. After changing the anchor points, it becomes a completely new skin and a classic character. Whether it will sell well depends on quality and price. If it is arranged as a rare legendary item, it may follow the example of Sailor Moon or Detective Conan, with a lottery event that combines two characters for everyone to freely exchange.

The CP (couple) relationship is quite interesting; past examples have sold extremely well.

Couple relationships are the best-selling. Even if the heroes aren't actually lovers, pairing them up through skin backstories is perfectly acceptable. This kind of setup is common in games; early examples like Wang Zhaojun's Phoenix Soaring and Zhou Yi's Phoenix Seeking Phoenix are prime examples—two completely unrelated characters were paired up and sold. IP collaborations are quite fun, offering diverse promotional methods. Image is one thing, but if you had to choose a divine couple, Kuang Tie could transform into Tang San, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, and Xiao Wu could be left to Ji Xiaoman. Their skills are similar, with a punching and kicking attack pattern. The choice between image and mechanics is left to the developers to consider, while players reap the benefits.

The love story of Haino and Doria is heartbreaking.

Some netizens believe that Haino and Doria, the official couple, are a good option. The couple's backstory is tragic and they do not have a good ending. In order to defeat the sea monster, Doria did not hesitate to use up all her magic power and exhaust her primordial spirit, sacrificing herself to restore the original peace of the fishing village, leaving Haino alone as the guardian, until she finally appeared in the form of a human who had lost his memory as an Easter egg.

Meanwhile, Doria is a popular choice for a mermaid-themed character with ocean elements, a collaboration with Xiao Wu, and Tang San assigning her to Hainuo. Do you agree with this statement? Some people in the comments section agree, while others say it's incongruous, arguing that the difference in appearance and attack is too great, making it even more jarring than pairing Kuang Tie with Ji Xiaoman or Li Xin with Gongsun Li.

What are your thoughts on this collaboration? Which couple is the most suitable? Based on all the comments, Tang San and Li Xin, and Xiao Wu and Gongsun Li are the most compatible. The collaboration was just officially announced, but the preparations have likely taken at least a few years. The topic is easy to discuss, but actual action is unlikely in the short term.
