The timing was wrong; the Broken Clouds, wounded by prejudice, collectively resisted, while the Night Patrol's luxurious design completely overwhelmed them. (II)

The Shattered Clouds theme emphasizes simplicity, minimalism, and a sophisticated, blue-toned aesthetic. Isn't that exactly what Chinese players often complain about regarding "distinctiveness"? It was launched in September 2022, and the poster quality from four years ago is bound to be inferior to that of the Night Watchers four years later. The difference is huge, and those who bought it without hesitation back then must feel cheated.

Broken Clouds: Visually appealing but with zero feedback.

Skywatcher's clean and refreshing design will never cause visual fatigue. The ancient style clothing and the boring theme, along with the energy cannon in hand, make it pale in comparison to Night Patrol. The light gold color is eye-catching, like an upgraded version of Vermilion Bird, but transformed into Western classicism. The crystal-textured sniper rifle, just looking at the poster design, exudes an aura that intimidates all opponents. Wearing it gives you a buff. The aesthetic sense is up-to-date with modern times. You will find many intricate design combinations. It is a good thing to be a detail-oriented person. The clothing and armor are exquisite and delicate. The high definition is actually not as pleasing to the eye as Broken Cloud.

Next, let's take a closer look at the skill effects. They come in various styles. The sky blue of the Shattered Clouds is just a vision device, or a small energy tower. You might mistake it for a phantom. The Lotus Scanner has a very light color tone, which makes it less likely to be detected by the enemy. Especially when placed in the river bushes, it blends in and has a certain advantage. The Night Patrol uses more elements, directly laying out a starlight avenue. It releases cards and generates a beam scanner. The moment you step on it, you are immediately alerted to its presence.

Night Patrol: Visually stunning, explosive combat.

Skills used for scouting might not be given much attention by users. For snipers, the feel of the gun is what matters. Charged attacks reveal the entire map. When Baili Shouyue of the Shattered Clouds transforms, three spirit tails are revealed. The aiming line is light-colored, making him almost always hit in team fights. The Night Patrol spreads its falcon wings, and the scope shoots out three textures, one of which is gold, making it easier to judge the trajectory. If convenience is a priority, the latter is far superior. After the bullet hits the enemy, the next step is the sound effect. Shattered Clouds will hear the particle echo. The part to complain about is that although it uses a sky color scheme, it is so bland and lacks any feedback on hits. How can you play it? The Night Patrol explodes with wolf shadows, providing the most direct sense of satisfaction. The second skill also has an independent turning animation, which is very thoughtful.
