The accompanying skin ranked second, while Li Xin's top-tier skin was abandoned by Chinese players. (III)

High-level players and top-tier Chinese server players have long seen through the obsession with special effects. The feel of the game is always the primary requirement. They go all out with special effects and fill in all the elements. However, in actual combat, the visuals are blurry. What is considered a high-end product becomes, in their words, just light pollution and glaring, not worth mentioning. It is inevitable that they will sell their products for a few years and rank very low. One Thought God and Demon is third.

Third Place: One Thought God and Demon

The original legendary skin, themed around the World Championship, was a dream come true for dedicated players before Li Xin's official debut. Its skill saturation is high, a significant improvement over the default skin, with more unique effects. After years of refinement, it's a safe bet. The limited-edition "Peerless" skin is overpriced, while the default skin is unremarkable and lacks highlights. It balances smoothness and style, but the "One Thought God and Demon" skin falls to third place, being rather ordinary. It shares the same form as the original Li Xin skin, with light and darkness, seemingly an optimized and upgraded version. Over time, it became a symbol of faith, without much scrutiny. It's a limited-time skin that won't return, and the "Brave" skin isn't visually appealing, making it the "first choice" for many. Without much consideration, its older design, available for limited-time exchange in the in-game store, is a benefit for ordinary players, making it hard not to choose.

Fourth place: Mountain and Sea Blazing Frost Slash

After much deliberation, I chose a disappointing skin: the Mountain and Sea Blazing Frost Slash. It was once hailed as a masterpiece, receiving rave reviews upon release. Everyone believed its production surpassed even the One Thought God and Demon skins, undoubtedly boasting superior special effects. However, after playing for a while, I discovered its feel was rather heavy. The three previously mentioned skins were more agile. The Lightbringer's ultimate skill release was undeniably spectacular, with three flames hurtling towards the enemy, reaching its peak. The Darkbringer's Frost Spikes felt incredibly painful. Because of its excessive focus on visual effects, the screen was severely cluttered, lacking transparency and having an excessively large range, leading to frequent misjudgments. It's more for showing off than for playing well, lacking smoothness, with overly drawn-out combos, revealing a host of flaws. Chinese players immediately abandoned it. The Heart-Questioning Sword is the true pinnacle. If you're looking for a transitional skin, the default one is sufficient. Don't waste money on legendary quality skins; those are just brainwashed beliefs, blindly following the crowd.
