In the early morning of April 22, the Glory of Kings Mall listed hero Luna's new skin revelation. With the start of official sale, it became the new 7th skin on The Glory of Kings in April. After the Launch of the Voice of Revelation, the number of King's Glory skins was refreshed again, reaching 421 models. Entering 2022, The Glory of Kings is accelerating its pace in new aspects of skin. As of press time, 32 new skins have been launched in just over 3 months.
The skin is getting out faster?
In the first quarter of 2022, King of Glory launched a number of new skins. From the mirror's hidden light chaser to the Jade Rabbit Princess of Gongsun Li, the mall has launched a total of 25 new skins, if you count Yao's Wish of time wish star skin, it is exactly 26 models, an average of two new ones per week.
In the last quarter, October to December 2021, there were only 12 new skins on the shelves of King of Glory. Compared with the same quarter, the first quarter of 2022 also produced 6 more than last year, and the growth rate of new skin shelves reached 30%. While a large number of new skins were on the shelves, King Glory also returned to 11 limited skins such as Mulan's Youth Final Season, Guan Yu's Martial Saint, and Luna's LifeLong Love through two forms: direct sale and lottery.
The beijing news reporter statistics found that the number of skins launched by King Glory in the first quarter of 2022 was the largest in the same quarter in the past 5 years. In the first quarter of 2020, King of Glory launched 25 skins. There were 22 in 2019, 20 in 2021 and 17 in 2018.
After entering April, Lan's Bounty Hunter and Irene's Adventure Dance Chapter two epic quality skins arrived. S27 new season, the King of Glory Mall added 4 new skins. Now, with Luna's voice of revelation, in just over 20 days, 7 new skins are on the shelves.
At the current pace, it seems only a matter of time before the second quarter of 2022 hit a new high in the same quarter in the last five years. Before 4 years, the largest number of skins in the second quarter was in 2021, reaching 17 models.
How much does it cost to have full skin?
As of press time, the number of skins on the shelves of the King glory mall has reached 421, so how much does it cost to buy all the skins? According to the official price and various activity information, the Beijing News reporter estimated the total price of the whole skin.
Hero skins for Glory of Kings can be purchased directly from the Marketplace, looted with prizes, and given away from events. In the glory of the king, the purchase of virtual products such as heroes, skins, and special effects mainly uses the form of coupons, and 1 yuan can purchase 10 coupons.
The first is to buy skins directly in the mall. According to statistics, the skin price of the King Glory Mall has 14 price points, mainly based on skin quality.
After calculation, there are 311 skins that can be purchased directly in the mall, and the total price is 240584 coupons.
In addition to direct purchases, players can also obtain skins through two forms of points and diamonds, with 10 and 9 respectively.
10 Glory Collection skins are drawn for points to win the treasure, every 361 draws must get one Glory Crystal, the price of each draw is 60 coupons, the 5 consecutive draws are 270 coupons, players can use a crystal to redeem a permanent skin, so each costs 19500 bonds.
The diamond hunting rules are similar to the points treasure hunt, but considering that the diamonds required for diamond treasure hunting can be obtained through various methods such as achievements, daily activities, etc., the 9 skins theoretically have free access opportunities, so they do not count towards the total purchase price.
In the pool of points for the treasure, Wang Zhaojun's idol singer cannot calculate the price based on probability. Here, take the extreme case of a draw and calculate the price of this skin according to 60 points.
Therefore, the total price of the two types of skins available in the lottery is 195,060 bonds.
The third category of skins acquired through events includes season-exclusive, anniversary-specific, glory orders, noble gifts, and other event-available skins. Among them, the total price of 28 Glory Battle Order skins in 14 seasons is 5432 bonds (Editor's Note: From the S14 season onwards, two Glory Battle Order limited skins are introduced every season, and players need to recharge 388 bonds to qualify for it). In addition, there are 4 skins that are given away after reloading to the corresponding noble level and 55 free skins that are rewarded for various activities.
The remaining three skins can be exchanged for specific recharge methods. Athena's Ice Crown Princess can be obtained in the form of 5888 coupons when she is online, and Zhao Yun's hip hop king and Xiang Yu's professional baseball ace can be obtained outside the game by recharging QQ annual fee super members, for a total of 480 yuan, that is, 4800 coupons.
Add up the above data, and it takes a total of 451764 bonds to buy all the skins of King Glory, which is more than 40,000 yuan.
Which hero is the most expensive?
As of press time, there are 421 skins for the 109 heroes of The Glory of Kings, with an average number of skins per hero being about 4. However, from the actual situation, each hero is valued differently by Tianmei (the development and operation party of the glory of the king).
In The Canyon of Kings, the most heroes with 3 skins are 25, followed by heroes with 5 skins and 4 skins, both with 21. The most "favored" Zhao Yun, there are 9 skins of Ninja Yanying, Future Era, Royal General, Hip Hop King, White Deacon, Engine Heart, Gentian, Quenching Star Yaoshi and Baimu Heart Gun. Therefore, many players jokingly call him Tianmei's "pro-son".
Although there are many skin tricks, in the price ranking, the total price of the 9 skins of "pro-son" Zhao Yun is 14116 coupons, ranking only 12th.
In this skin "gold content" ranking list, yu ji, the "Yu beauty" who only has 5 skins and added to the body, has increased her body value with the talent star that can be given by the noble 8th level, and has ridden the dust with the total skin price of 52764 coupons, ranking first in the unit hero skin price list. It is followed by three heroes with 8 skins - Sun Wukong, Lu Ban No. 7 and Sun Shangxiang, who are the best in the canyon in terms of number of skins and value.
In the top ten of the price list, except for Yu Ji, the other heroes are the owners of the Glory Collection skin. Among them, Wu Zetian, which has the smallest number of skins, also has 3 models, of which although the Oriental Undefeated is the quality of the brave, the price exceeds the price of the regular brave skin, and the price is 888 points. The total price of the top ten is more than 20,000 bonds.
What skins are most popular with pros?
According to official data, although the different skins of heroes vary in quality, set, price, etc., they can provide the same damage or health bonus in duels. Still, many players have a feeling that using different skins has a different chance of winning. In key qualifying, many people will deliberately choose skins that they think have a high winning percentage.
Not only the average player, but in professional matches, players generally rarely use skins randomly. King Glory professional player Liu Liu (pseudonym) told the Beijing News reporter that she believes that the main reason is that the skin feels different and the operation experience is not the same, and every time the competition, we must choose the skin that feels comfortable.
By counting the skins of heroes who appeared in the top ten in the first two rounds of the 2022 KPL Spring Season, we found that for professional players like Six-Six, if the hero who operates has only one skin, there is no choice. If the hero himself has two or more skins to choose from, most players have fixed answers.
When using Shen Mengxi, Guangzhou TTG player Xu Xinzhen (ID: Nine Tails) prefers shark cannon pirate cats. In the first two rounds of the regular season, he chose this hero five times with the Shark Cannon Pirate Cat, and the skin played only 7 times in total. For another example, Wuhan eStarPro player Liu Tianhao (ID: Yi Zheng) single-handedly favored Yu Ji's overlord Bie Ji, and chose this skin for 8 times.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to The two "one-skin team members" of Na Ke Lulu and Lan, the remaining heroes with higher use rates are the relatively high-priced models in the hero's skin. For example, Lü Bu, who ranked first in the number of appearances 147 times, and among the 6 skins, the top 4 heavenly magic, doomsday mech, Christmas carnival and royal wind will appear a total of 138 times, accounting for 93.9%. In addition, people like Yixing's Snow Hunting For Plums, Xiahou Huan's Infinite Hurricane, and Mirror's Blazing Sun Divine Light are also the skins with the highest unit price among their respective heroes, with usage rates reaching 87.9%, 85.5% and 74.1% respectively.
There are exceptions, such as the popular shooter hero Marco Polo, whose most expensive skin is the 888-point dream star, but in the first two rounds of the KPL spring, this skin has a 0 appearance rate.
On April 21, the day before Luna's New Skin Revelation Was launched, Glory of kings has released information about the KPL's new limited skin, Xiahou Hidden Light Decider. On the same day, the KPL spring playoffs began. Before the game, the official live broadcast room played the playoffs and Xiahou Huan's new skin promotional video, and in the BP (selection) link, Xiahou Huan rarely appeared as a new skin image.
With the May 5th Black Festival approaching, the time for Glory of Kings to launch the next new skin will not be too far away.
