Conclusion:
One of the staples of fantasy is a high degree of stylization and Ice Drake Shyvana is a good example of that. From the revealing human outfit to the predictable dragon form the skin tries to incorporate ice in every possible way. In the end, that becomes the most attractive characteristic of the skin and makes it a nice option for fans of the dragon lady.
Some skins struggle to justify their price but Tyrant Swain isn’t one of them. The fantastic new models display the Master Tactician as an imposing warlock with a peculiar power. The new particles and animations only serve to enhance the concept so the skin stands as a great choice for fans of Swain.
In spite of the perceived modesty of Marble Malphite it’s a skin that delivers a unique aesthetic. The new model is simple but distinct and while there’s an apparent fragility the appearance is appealing. Fans of the Shard of the Monolith will find this skin a cheap and attractive alternative to his classic aspect.

Conclusion:
When it comes to farming and avoiding it a lady of plants like Zyra can surely provide some valuable advice. Of course, to reap the rewards of your efforts an expert with the blade like Renekton is worthy of consideration. Unfortunately, a being with a heart of rock wouldn’t be of much assistance; so Malphite is better unlocked with just IP.
If we speak of the fury of nature then Wildfire Zyra is a mix of unequalled characteristics. We are practically one month before a full year clocks by before it last went on sale and July doesn’t seem to change that. Therefore, unless you want to get ready for an eventual Haunted experience, or June has some surprises in store, there’s only patience ahead.
As a versatile crocodile Renekton knows the importance of wearing the right clothes for the right moment. He has already demonstrated that with his Galactic suit, on May, and his Outback clothing, on March. Moreover, last year he also displayed a couple of armours: Rune Wars on October and Bloodfury on August. These last two have a better chance of returning but it won’t be on July, at least.
Finally, Malphite has displayed a lot of variety in the way he crystallizes his body. Right now we a have an example of pure Marble but there was much more than that. According to the season we could find: Obsidian April, Shamrock March, Coral Reef February and Glacial August. In fact, Glacial is the one that draws the most interest as July will incorporate it into a sale.
