A year has passed, and the summer update in August 2025 will feature nine new skins, marking the Lord of Mysteries' one-year anniversary. (Part Four)

The Xi Shi Dream Weaver skin is meticulously modeled; even the hair color and individual strands look like they've been optimized. It wasn't made carelessly just because it's free. It also has independent walking animations, making it a truly well-made skin.

Yuan Ge: Lord of the Uncanny

According to the timeline of August, a month has four weeks. In the first ten days, the unimportant Jiushan Xiangliu was sent out first. In the middle of the month, the new theme, the summer version, was really launched. Two items were given as rewards: Da Siming Death Archon and Yi Xing Night Watchman. Gui Guzi Cat Counter was given as a reward. To maintain the discussion, the second ten days were handed over to Xi Shi Dream Weaver. Four members were more than enough. But no one expected to drop a bombshell before the end of the collaboration. The original male protagonist was actually a smokescreen. The real Lord of Mysteries, the core figure, was Yuan Ge's Lord of Mysteries. Everyone had no objection to using it to close the event. This top laner was almost locked in the no-skin village, with only Yuan Meng as a representative. The difficulty of mastering it was extremely high. New players who arrived late had no chance to change their appearance. This skin became a savior.

The puppet beside him is like a butler who has been separated from his body. Its walking movements are unique. The previous model was very recognizable, which is not a good thing, because the way to kill Yuan Ge is to find half of his body. He habitually hides in the distance or in the bushes to cast spells, disguises himself as the appearance of the opponent, and sneaks up to capture people. After wearing it, the person who walks over cannot guess whether it is the real body or the puppet. The front and back of the Fool Tarot card means that the two are actually one. The color scheme is that of a conventional magician, with blue as the main color and gold as the secondary color. The world is intertwined, and he casts spells and shuttles among the enemies. The semi-transparent light effect makes the attack explode in the mist. It is really hard to find a better Yuan Ge skin.

Fox Spirit Matchmaker Collaboration

Following the conclusion of the Lord of Mysteries event in the summer season, the second collaboration with Fox Spirit Matchmaker began, launching on August 28, 2025. The skin, "A Thousand Mountains Together," was given to Gan Jiang and Mo Xie. While its feel was average, it ranked third in usage rate in the Chinese server. The skin's accuracy was good, though some considered its legendary limited-edition status an overestimation. The epic skin reward was Gongsun Li's "Tu Shan Rong Rong," a sign of item acceleration, requiring 88 skin fragments to redeem. Afterwards, players realized the importance of skin fragments.
