How do you choose between the Death Archon and the Long Spear? First, ask yourself if you want special effects or feel.

Tournament-themed products, especially the FMVP, are very popular because they lack the limited-time label. The advantage is that they are not sold for a limited time. Missing the discounted price would be a waste, but at least you can get your hands on them later and make them your main hero. There's a high-quality item waiting for you to order. With each version update, they may be downgraded in a few years and become a limited-time reward in the in-game store, just like the Everlasting Victory God of War for Gan Jiang and Mo Xie. Regardless of whether it's an old or new version, it receives continuous praise. The production time is relatively long. After the tournament ends and the champion is announced, it will probably be released about two years later. Those who plan ahead will patiently wait when they receive the news of the winner and give up on items that are added in the middle.

This year saw the release of Wang Zhaojun's "Long Night Rebirth," the original skin "Frozen Princess," featuring a design heavily incorporating jellyfish elements for visual healing. The skin's smooth texture and deceptive feel made it very stress-relieving to play. Following this was Da Siming, a tribute to the AG Super Play jungler, a favorite titled "Intent Through the Long Spear." This raises the question: should those who previously purchased the "Death Executioner" skin reconsider? The conclusion reached by top players and those in the national server is simple: for better feel, go for the FMVP skin; for better effects, go for the Death Executioner.

Special effect: The Death Archon wins.

No game in the canyon is perfect; players must choose for themselves. Each of the legendary elements has its own merits. "The Spear of Intent" has an Eastern fantasy style, while "The Death Archon" has a Western Cthulhu style. To some extent, comparing their appearance and temperament, the latter possesses a powerful protagonist aura, making a grand entrance, mysterious and aloof, establishing authority. Compared to it, the former seems like a supporting character, with mediocre magic circles, blurry ground effects, and a bunch of irrelevant elements. "The Death Archon's" cyan effects are inconspicuous, easily blending into the environment, especially in grass and walls. Its dim effects are indeed an advantage. It enters stealthily, then summons a Tarot Star Array—understated yet luxurious, meticulously detailed, and clearly recognizable with semi-transparent elements. Its ultimate skill is a soft, golden color scheme. "The Spear of Intent," on the other hand, generates a fiery mountain, lacking distinctiveness. Its color scheme is predominantly red and yellow, flashy and bright, with a high presence, and its skill elements fly everywhere.

Feel: Yi Guan Chang Ge wins

In actual combat, the Death Archon's less-than-satisfactory aspect is its feel. At first, you might not notice it, but after playing for a while, you'll find that the sound effects are deep, the casting animations are large, the feedback is low, and the skills are slightly laggy. However, the Long Spear is very crisp, and you can clearly judge the hit rate. The moment you stomp the ground to harvest, the feeling of satisfaction is at its peak.
