Overview
A decorative mermaid, a wrapped up bear and a decided spearman come to this weekend sale. Shall we greet them?
Skins:
Conclusion:
For a different view at the same mermaid Koi Nami has a good concept. The looks of an ornamental carp are clear and the skin also adds some extras to make it all more attractive. The result is a skin that keeps her core intact yet manages to be appealing for fans of Nami.
A good array of warm clothes for a bear seems somewhat preposterous and, on top of that, Northern Storm Volibear doesn’t even seem to be trying to be funny. This makes the skin rather strange though also unique. If you like the originality of the skin then it could be an option.
With just new textures Imperial Xin Zhao manages to convey its theme clearly. The problem is that the classic counterpart isn’t that far to start with. It’s a skin that doesn’t offer much but also doesn’t ask for much. If you like a more evident Chinese style for Xin Zhao then the skin modestly delivers.
Champions:
Elise | |
Xerath | Jax |
Conclusion:
If you are looking to save IP then follow the Spider Queen and accept Elise’s offer; you won’t be able to regret it. Uncontainable power is another good option so Xerath can give a hand too. The Grandmaster, though, has other concerns so it won’t take much trouble to unlock Jax with IP.
Just coming from a Blood Moon, Elise hasn’t been away for long. Last December her Death Blossom was drawing all kinds of looks. Unfortunately, this also means that it’ll be a while until the Spider Queen visits again.
As the kind to concentrate activity into impactful bursts Xerath visited almost in three consecutive months last year. In November he left Scorched Earth behind, in September he was part of the Battlecast initiative, finally, in August, he showed Runeborn origins. Hopefully we’ll hear from him again soon.
Versatility is essential for a Grandmaster at Arms so Jax routinely changes his weapon of choice; to keep things varied. So, in October we could see him with a Temple spear and in September a Nemesis mace. What seems to be taking time is to find his Jaximus halberd; which hasn’t been seen since September 2013.
