The store is full of surprises; Lu Bu is a treat, but Angela's Collector's Edition is the real highlight of this version.

At the beginning of the early season, when S42 was just released, Lu Bu's Glory Collection skin, named Thousand Demons Return to the Abyss, was immediately launched. It features dual forms and no longer plays with light and darkness or the characteristics of fire and ice. Instead, it is a demonized human form, which integrates the image of a traditional warrior with the trend of cyberpunk. The design is out of place in the game, but this is what highlights its status as a Glory Collection skin. It is like a derivative of the Hundred Forms of Dream Guardian. The design was criticized, but the sales were far ahead of others, which is quite ironic. Perhaps it was due to popularity. People who had been waiting for the long-awaited collection skin could not afford to delay, so they painstakingly drew a crystal and then spent it on Lu Bu.

Angela's Glory Collection Raid

Unfortunately, the Spring Festival brought a major reversal. While the usual annual update cycle is broken, Angela's new Glory Collection skin, "Inverted Fairy Tale: Magic Mirror," was released later. On its second day, sales surpassed one million, significantly exceeding the value of previous limited-edition skins. Compared to past versions, the special effects are very distinctive. The fireballs from her first and second skills transform into apples that spin and peel, adding to the fun. Her ultimate skill also has two forms: one is a spinning apple peel, and the other is a saw. With a tripled probability of being available during events, a large number of players rushed to acquire this "Snow White" skin. The high sales are undoubtedly due to the hero's popularity; she's a beloved mage across all skill levels with an extremely high pick rate. Once equipped, she practically had no chance to be used in battle unless you were actively playing.

Returning to the most practical question, is it worth redeeming? The Spring Festival is over. Whether you rely on the triple probability or the accumulated guaranteed value, it's inevitable to hesitate at this sacred moment. The forums are full of questions about whether to get Wu Zetian or Angela's Collector's Edition.

High sales volume does not necessarily guarantee quality.

Some suggest collecting all the heroes first, while others say it's better to get a high-quality outfit for your favorite hero. Online reviews feel that the style is similar to the Heart of Kuromi skin, and the gameplay is almost identical, with only a few minor noises from the saw sound effect. However, most players who buy female hero skins care about appearance. If Angela is a true fan, this one is a must-have. As for design breakthroughs, it's hard to tell. There are too many skins, with a bunch of high-quality ones sold during the Spring Festival, such as the Peerless skin and the Legendary limited edition skins. But when it comes to the Collector's Edition, there are no highlights, which is truly perplexing.

The "Upside-Down Fairy Tale: Magic Mirror" is of legendary quality, so it must be up to standard. However, if it is labeled as a "Glorious Collection" and has strict aesthetic requirements, then it will not meet the standards.
