A fire monkey, an artificial scientist and a green soldier come to this week’s sale. The militaristic implications of these products are less than subtle so let’s prepare ourselves for battle.

Conclusion:
While the new model offered by Volcanic Wukong is nothing revolutionary the constantly burning flames add an attractive visual layer of complexity to the skin. As the flames are dynamic, no matter what the Monkey King does the flames react to it. This makes the skin quite an interesting option for fans of fire and Wukong.
Conceptually, Full Machine Viktor is a good view of what could be at the end of the Glorious Evolution. The new model looks optimized to keep function over form; though the latter doesn’t really suffer. While one could ask for more additions besides a new Gravity Field colour the skin is well done. It’s certainly an appealing option for fans of Viktor.
Adapting his classic armour to an army style, Commando Garen is more than just him wearing green. However, the changes are a mishmash of fantasy and modern armour that struggle to coexist. The skin does manage to have a clear military feel but it’s not effectively developed. It’s an all right option but there’re better for Garen.

Conclusion:
When you want to avoid farming IP there’s no better option than to rely on an expert in gardens like Zyra. Her plants will take care of everything though at an expense. Lightning fast speed can also help avoid farming IP so Kennen is worth considering as well. With his worries of the impending invasion from the Void Kassadin is more interested in getting allies than IP. So his IP price is quite reasonable and there’s no need to spend RP.
Far from Harrowing, Zyra doesn’t often feel Haunted by the unnerving visions one usually suffers at that time. Still, they sometimes return, like in February, and so it’s obvious to see how much it affects her. At least, she can let her passion free like Wildfire from time to time to distract herself. Last December she burnt bright with her plants and that made her some good. On the other hand, as she visited not that long ago, chances are we’ll have to wait a while to see her again.
It’s been a long time since we last saw the Eye of the Storm around here. We last recall his diagnostics as the eminent Kennen M.D. in April, 2014. That came not long after his Karate lessons were on sale, in March 2014. At least, it’s nothing as dangerous as Arctic Ops, which he offered in December 2013; it’s understandable he’s not keen on returning to those.
Often has Kassadin faced a Deep One but he’s always come out on top. They are legacy memories now so he can wholly dedicate to the Void. In April 2014, he remembered his time, Pre-Void, and how different life was. Now, he’s ever vigilant, the Void won’t rest until it engulfs the whole world and if he’s to become a Harbinger as well, as could’ve happened in January 2014, then all could be lost.
