Conclusion:
A nice set of skins is offered this weekend. They cover rather diverse themes but they, nonetheless, provide lots of style to the respective champions. Let’s give them a quick look.
Full Machine Viktor is a version of the Machine Herald’s vision applied to his own body. While it may only be one of multiple possibilities its steampunk aesthetic fits rather well with Viktor. It’s a skin that could’ve been more polished but that, ultimately, effectively conveys its idea.
The Lady of Luminosity also receives a fitting concept that suits her magical mischief in Spellthief Lux. The dark tones differ from her usual colourful personality and aspect. Regardless, it exposes another facet of Lux that is as interesting as it is well presented.
The last skin provides an elevated sense of fashion with a clear steampunk inspiration. Aristocrat Vayne might seem rather flamboyant but it’s also an attractive and different look at a night hunter. Considering its price and distinct appeal it’s worth having in mind for Vayne fans.

Conclusion:
This weekend if you want to save quite some time from farming IP you have two options: one hexplosive and the other enticingly poisonous. Ziggs and Cassiopeia are the chosen ones to keep your IP reserves up. In LeBlanc’s case, she has a reasonable price which shouldn’t take too long to reach.
Moving on to looks, you won’t be making any kabooms anytime soon dressed as a Major or for a Pool Party. Chances are that a Mad Scientist is also out of consideration but as it was discounted on February it could be a possibility. Regardless, if you have your sights on a Snow Day then now is a great opportunity to play it safe.
Cassiopeia dons many skins but her Jade Fang one will take a while to be on sale. It could probably do so after the next Lunar Revel as evidenced by the slow rate at which new skins are discounted and the previous Lunar Revel sale. That aside, only Siren Cassiopeia was discounted this year, on March, so there are other options.
Finally, if you have your mind set on Mistletoe LeBlanc the now could be the time to get the Deceiver. While you could gather enough IP by Snowdown you might also want to reserve it for other champions on Showdown. At any rate, as LeBlanc’s other skins were on sale on May and July they aren’t much of a reason to rush.
