How to tell if a skin in the Endless Game's Wish Shop is a hidden gem or a dud? (Part 2)

One of the skins that comes with a price tag, Tanji's Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox, is often hailed as a work of faith and has an excellent reputation. From the perspective of Chinese players, it's just average. Fans might consider getting it, but there aren't many opportunities for it to return. Ultimately, buying a favorite is just for your own enjoyment, so there's no need to pay too much attention to opinions. It's more than enough for a mage during the transition period, and the female skin Cafe is more than sufficient.

Shadow Dragon Sky: Thunder Pit

The skin's name, "Shadow Dragon Sky," fails to evoke any particular hero affiliation. As one of the globally selected skins, it should have received full recognition, but its design is awkward and unattractive. Its collectible value is higher than its practical use. Returning after many years, the production isn't as bad as expected. Its strengths include the ultimate skill, Dragon Claw, which provides visual impact, and the purple mist emanating from the screen after invisibility, enhancing the combat atmosphere. However, for those familiar with Lanling King's gameplay, finishing off enemies involves combos, not stand-and-fight tactics. Wearing "Shadow Dragon Sky" feels like the cuts are slow, lacking a one-shot kill, the blades aren't sharp enough, and the passive effect for scouting bushes is inconspicuous. When you enter a bush, you're instantly exposed and countered by your opponent. This Valentine's Day limited edition skin, "Teamwork Showdown," with its Star Legendary rarity, far surpasses a globally selected skin. Lanling King has lost his peak form; buying an expensive skin now is simply a waste of money.

Like a Dream: Thunder Pit

The "Dreamlike Couple" skin, featuring Hou Yi and Chang'e, is an old-school skin, its release season forgotten. It's all about nostalgia. The entrance animation is evocative, incorporating elements of the Magpie Bridge, the Milky Way, and the Bluebird—undoubtedly romantic. However, the minimalist style of that era feels outdated in 2026, lacking any real impact. The lightness makes basic attacks seem floaty and powerless. Aside from its appearance, it offers no redeeming qualities. Chang'e, on the other hand, has a typical "internet celebrity" face, with no obstructing particles and a more delicate model, but her weak attacks make her unpleasant to play. If it weren't for the mage's fluid attacks, it would be unacceptable. A limited-edition skin from the Dream series, featuring Chang'e flying to the moon—the best mage in the game—you definitely wouldn't want to equip a backup for battle.

In summary, the Lanwu Shadow Wolf Soul is the most worthwhile new skin to obtain. For collection value, choose the Dream Order skin. You should choose one of the four skins that are not worth getting. At least the Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox skin will be used more often than the others, which is better than buying it as a decoration.
