Conclusion:
The eastern elegance of Guqin Sona is evident but the skin impresses not because of its visuals. It’s the new sounds, applied whenever her Etwahl is used, that provide the skin with a unique feel. For fans of the Maven of the Strings and those that appreciate depth in a skin this is a great choice.
As far as classy clothing is concerned Debonair Ezreal suffices. The rest is just business as usual and his extroversion does clash with the dignity of his new style; as if it were imposed. It results in an acceptable skin, certainly not bad, but nothing remarkable.
The approach of Pharaoh Nidalee is that of a Hollywood representation of an Egyptian queen: covered in gold as either human or cat. Because of this, there are problems: small but multiple and can add up in the end. Ultimately, the price is quite low and both concept and implementation are really good; it just isn’t perfect despite being not too far.

Conclusion:
If you need to save some IP be aware that the Queen knows which strings to pull to give you a hand. However, be warned: Elise would require a token of your gratitude in RP. The Will of the Blades is also adept at avoiding incoming dangers like IP expenses. Yet, Irelia would gladly accept some RP in compensation to keep her blades in top form. Finally, there’s no reason to fear the scarecrow: Fiddlesticks IP price is quite reasonable so RP doesn’t need to be used.
One of these days everybody may have access to Elise’s exquisite Victorious armour. Until that day we can only wait for her Blood Moon dress to reach a sale; a wait that the Queen is handling with great expectation. At least we received her visit in full Death Blossom last December. Elise knows how to delight with her smell or puncture with her thorns when she wants to.
You never know when Fiddlesticks will strike with a Surprise Party but he’s always ready for celebration. That’s quite a good attitude considering that the Legacy Vault keeps swallowing his wardrobe. For this reason, this year’s March already showed all that the scarecrow can offer: his Bandito costume and his Spectral guise. There’s no respect for cranky contraptions with a life of their own nowadays.
