Overview
A hammering yordle, a corrupted amphibian and a magical gargoyle make their way to this week’s sale. It sounds like a fairy tale so let’s take a seat and listen.

Conclusion:
The red armour and stern visage surely present Scarlet Hammer Poppy as a dangerous warrior. It also deviates from her cute yordle style a bit too much and may seem unfitting for fans. Regardless, it’s a skin with a distinct style that, at least, communicates a clear message.
The mix of Void horror and playful trickster offered by Void Fizz doesn’t convince. The two elements clash with each other and so the terror of the Void is diminished; something that neither particles, animations nor sounds salvage. For Fizz fans it’s an acceptable option that doesn’t embrace its theme as much as it should.
For a re-texture Enchanted Galio is much more than a re-colour. However, the brimming potential of the skin is wasted by the static textures. Therefore, the skin fails at making the most of its appealing concept. Fans of Galio may find it a cheap alternative as he is in dire need of a better wardrobe.

Conclusion:
Among her furry friends Lulu is the best at saving IP but she’ll need quite a bit of RP. Anyway, where did all these critters come from? Staying in yordle territory you may want to have a blast with Ziggs. If you have the RP there’s some IP to save. Finally, the Lady of Luminosity can also help save RP but most will find Lux’s IP price reasonable enough.
Let’s put on our thinking caps and go for a twirl around Lulu’s skins. It’s too early for another Pool Party and also to expect a Winter Wonder. Thus, as her Wicked magic was sighted on March we should expect her Bittersweet sorcery and Dragon Trainer services this year. After all, she hasn’t presented them since November and October 2014.
Ziggs skins incoming! Besides waiting for a nice Snow Day we haven’t had a chance to meet the hexplosive yordle at a sale this year. This means that we should find him crushing prices with Major grenades, Pool Party bombs or Mad Scientist chemicals as he did in August, May and April. His research into volatile elements has gone well beyond the call of duty so, no matter the profession, he’s ready to have a blast.
This year has seen its fair share of Lux but there’s always some light at the end of the tunnel as the Star Guardian would say. Recently, her Imperial uniform was retired but we’ve enjoyed her other visits. In August it was as part of the Steel Legion; in June, as a Spellthief; in March as a sorceress and in January as a Commando. Don’t despair though, she will be back when we least expect her to save the day.
