Is the companion item really that useful? Baili Shouyue's quirks in the Chinese server, the Shadowless Spear is considered godlike.

Baili Shouyue is infamous. The core problem is that nobody in the entire game likes snipers. His skill design was originally based on aiming and shooting with a sniper rifle, and he was initially highly anticipated. However, he was accidentally ruined by some players, and his reputation was completely destroyed. He became known as a "troublemaker" in other players' eyes, which sounds quite serious. Imagine if you pre-selected Baili Shouyue in all skill levels and saw if your teammates would write insults. At best, they would re-enact the game; at worst, they would choose heroes they were not proficient with. Since the odds of winning were not high, there was no need to destroy the hard-earned record and lower their main win rate. He should have had high potential. With Ming Shiyin's linking and attack power, one shot could kill, and in the late game, two bullets could take down a squishy hero. The ranked experience was poor, so he stopped there and was put in storage. Nobody dared to use him.

Modified into a machine gun

The developers exhausted all methods to modify the game, eventually making the sniper skill secondary and basic attacks primary. Without relying on any skins for promotion, they reshaped the character, gradually climbing into high-level matches and finally gaining the favor of top players. The power spike was completely revamped; the old version was relegated to the early game, while the new version focuses on the late game. Of course, as a marksman, the development rhythm remains crucial, determining the outcome. With flexible movement and maxed-out attack speed, the sniper rifle is transformed into a machine gun, and the hero returns to the market. It's time to equip the hero with new skins and optimize the feel. But have you noticed that almost all the players there buy high-end skins? Non-professionals, however, seem to adore epic skins. What's going on?

Most frequently used weapon in the Chinese server: Shadow Strike

While ordinary players may look down on the default skin, which is almost identical to the original skin with no special effects and just a different appearance, it's truly unappealing. However, this skin, which is even inferior to the "Brave" skin, accounts for nearly 70% of all skins in the Chinese server, demonstrating its immense popularity. Considering that Baili Shouyue has achieved moderate popularity to this day, he has at least acquired five Epic skins and one Legendary skin. What's so special about this skin? The most appealing aspect of classic skins is always their clarity. It's not that we're used to the original skin's effects; the feel hasn't improved. The aiming line and field of view are incredibly sharp, and the impact is substantial. The feedback when a bullet hits is strong, truly simulating a real gun. Switching to other high-end skins feels like changing the weapon to a toy gun—flashy but impractical.
