The most successful skin series in recent years, players are eagerly awaiting the second installment of the Endless Spirit skin series. Ink-dyed Jianghu is the pinnacle of skin collections.

After years of reform, Honor of Kings has decided to change its skin sales strategy, focusing on seasonal and series releases to ensure completeness and a unified style, thus stimulating players' desire to collect. This is better than releasing skins piecemeal with different themes, making it difficult to design events. Unless it's a high-value, risk-free skin, players might not pay special attention to it.

The success of skin sets is best evidenced by their popularity on the Lunar New Year limited-edition bestseller list. Subsequently, they began to be released at key moments in the game's update cycle, such as the May 5th Friends Festival, summer vacation, and anniversary limited-edition events. Later, collaborations were gradually added, creating unique story backgrounds and building entirely new parallel worlds. Take Ink-dyed Jianghu as an example. It's like a martial arts novel, where each hero becomes a reclusive master. Xiahou Dun's Plum Blossom Manor skin, Frost North Blade, represents him as a guest of the North Blade Sect. Then there's Gongsun Li's Lihenyan skin, which represents her as a disciple of the Lihen Tower Master. Finally, there's Fei's Twelfth Floor skin, Burial Money.

The CG animation was so captivating that, seeing its critical and commercial success, they quickly decided to release a second installment, Li Bai's Poetry and Sword, a world-class work. It was designed purely in the style of traditional Chinese ink painting and didn't initially have a pleasing concept. Perhaps inspiration struck halfway through, leading to a new world.

The Spirits of the Last Vessel: Yao, Chang'e

In recent years, the store has seen a continuous stream of skin sets with eye-catching appearances and high rarity. Since 2025, which one do you think has a good reputation and is popular among players? The Spirit of the End is one of them. When it first appeared, the focus was divided by the limited time, and the members tended to be high-difficulty heroes, such as Chang'e, Yao and Zhao Huaizhen. You would never see them in the entire skill range.

I remember when the CG animation was first released, top-tier players were blown away by its coolness. Even before the special effects were revealed, they already knew it was theirs. The quality didn't matter; even if it was a limited edition, they would never hesitate to try their luck with the Origin lottery. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint. Yao's Chilong Sword immediately entered the ranks of premium skins. The feel and special effects were all up to standard. The sound effects that were later criticized were also changed back. Chang'e's Falling Star Lamp skin initially gave the impression of being flashy, but after experiencing it in a game, the texture and details were top-notch and impeccable. In contrast, Zhao Huaizhen's "freebie" was cheap, but it received very little attention.
