Overview
This week we welcome a crimson paladin, a warring zombie warrior and a slightly miscalculated experiment. Seems like we’ll have to be careful where we tread so let’s give the sale a discreet look.

Conclusion:
For those that want a warrior to inspire dread and fear in opponents Bloodstone Taric is the option to make this paladin a fiery adversary. The skin suffers from a lack of polish but has a distinct style. Fans of Taric and fearsome warriors will find it an interesting option.
A natural evolution of the Undead Champion is Warmonger Sion with its heavy armour and deadly axe. The intent is clear but the skin can look as lugubrious as comical; due to the classic base. In the end, it’s a skin with a nice appearance that struggles to overcome its limitations.
In spite of the low price Blast Zone Heimerdinger doesn’t feel like a worthwhile option. It barely modifies his look and the changes are centred on his head. The idea isn’t bad but the implementation doesn’t go far. Therefore, it’s an option better left for dedicated Heimerdinger fans or collectors.

Conclusion:
If you don’t want to farm IP you don’t have to and if anybody wants to say otherwise you can always direct your trusted bodyguard to them. Nautilus’ anchor is a weighty argument and he the best option in that regard. Of course a giant sword can serve almost as well but Riven prefers more finesse so it’s not as heavy an argument. Finally, you can always distract everyone with a nice tune and escape while they are entranced. Sona would be the ideal choice but she doesn’t ask for too much IP which shows that music is not for everybody.
When travelling through the depths it’s essential to wear the optimal equipment. In June Nautilus showed his Subterranean gear and in May his Astro suit. For this year then, all that’s left is his Abyssal outfit which we last saw by the end of August, 2013. Prepare for the year anniversary.
In spite of always hopping all around Riven hasn’t visited us often this year. Except for her May Battle Bunny demonstration this year has seen little of her. We have to look back to December to find her Crimson Elite uniform or October for her Redeemed armour. Thus, there should be much more Riven soon but, who knows for sure?
A musician knows the importance of dressing right for each occasion. Therefore, if July meant metal then Sona had Pentakill. On March there were eastern tunes and Sona had her Guqin. In February 8-bit tunes were enough so Sona readied her Arcade Etwahl. So, sounds like there won’t be much Sona left for the rest of the year.
