Mozi's skin usage ranking in the Chinese server: The highly praised Golden Scorpio skin is considered merely a decorative piece. (Part Two)

Golden Scorpio, a reskinned hero with a completely redesigned skeleton, walking animations, and skill animations, without a single element resembling the original Mozi skin. The Thunder Cannon's hit feedback is clear. So why does it only rank third in usage rate on the Chinese server? The reason is quite simple: the Chinese server doesn't need flashy things. A makeover is a good thing, but the skill usage has become more flashy, lacking cleanliness and crispness. The bright colors and easily identifiable bullet trajectories are all detrimental points, and the Chinese server doesn't find it reliable.

Being promoted and brought back into the public eye, attracting a lot of attention, will lead to continued strengthening. The Golden Scorpio is theoretically a way to rebuild one's reputation without needing to rework the hero. It sparks online discussions and increases the pick rate. The fact that it has never returned to the game indicates that its player base is not high.

Dragon Knight

It's only an Epic quality skin, yet it costs 2888 Points or can be exchanged with 288 Fragments. Dragon Knight is definitely a top-tier skin for free-to-play players. Lucky players can directly draw it from the Epic Chest in the Battle Pass Shop, saving a lot of money. The clever developers discovered that top-tier Epic skins have extremely high usage rates, so they secretly removed other ways to obtain them. Now you only need to exchange or buy them; there's no lottery. They're stingy with the Epic Chest, only putting in regular Epic skins. They don't even seem to intend to include the new styles added to the Monthly Gift Book.

Secondly, the consumption of items is accelerating, and skin fragments are becoming increasingly difficult to accumulate. Everyone is hesitant to use them recklessly. Lu Ban No. 7 Arcade Boy, Mo Zi Dragon Knight, and A Ke Dark Night Cat Girl are their destined skins. Although Jin Chan's Salvation Zen Heart debuted at the beginning of Season 44 and was available for limited-time exchange, it failed to break into the top three of the best-selling list.

It sounds expensive, but it's suddenly affordable when you get it for free as fragments. Except for not including the legendary skin's dynamic cover, all other elements are retained. It has a heavy mecha style, so the impact is quite heavy, and every hit hits the mark. The core ultimate skill gives a strong sense of oppression when activated. The animation follows the original skin. Compared to the Golden Scorpio, Dragon Knight is more durable and visually appealing. Its usage rate is comparable to Metal Storm. The reason why high-quality skins lose to low-quality ones is inseparable from the model's shortcomings. It is bulky and large, and the attacks are clumsy. You usually can only choose one between light movement and impact.
