Ilumia's first-ever SS-tier skin is attracting the attention of numerous Liên Quân Mobile players.
As per information from Garena, the hero Ilumia of Liên Quân Mobile is set to officially receive her initial SS-tier skin after a prolonged period of being overlooked. Dubbed 'Celestial Empress,' this exceptional skin is the outcome of the latest collaboration with the game Honor of Kings in 2023. Specifically, Ilumia's original version, Celestial Empress, corresponds to the renowned skin 'Võ Tắc Thiên Nghê Khắc Tư Thần Dụ' from Honor of Kings.
Not only transforming the effects of all skills, but Nghê Khắc Tư Thần Dụ is also categorized among the most expensive purple gem skins in Honor of Kings. Despite the anticipated excitement of this collaboration, a series of concerning issues have surfaced over the past few days for Liên Quân Mobile players.
First and foremost is the pricing concern. Despite being classified as SS-tier, this is a limited edition skin inspired by one of the most expensive prototypes of the Moba game in the country. At present, regular SS skins typically have a value equivalent to around 799 vouchers. However, it cannot be confirmed whether this figure will remain unchanged or rapidly increase after the launch of Celestial Empress.
The next issue making gamers contemplate is compatibility with mobile devices. While acknowledging that numerous improvements in animations and an upgraded graphics system will completely transform Ilumia, the more effects added, the higher the likelihood of stuttering, lag, and increased heat when players use it.
Despite Garena's efforts to optimize the compatibility of Liên Quân Mobile, maintaining a game with a file size reaching tens of GB has long been a challenging story for older devices.
Another topic capturing the interest of many gamers is the 'downgrading' level of Ilumia's Celestial Empress skill effects. Despite praises for the 'revival' of Ilumia in a new form, some players feel that this collaboration is still not 'perfect' compared to the original Võ Tắc Thiên Nghê Khắc Tư Thần Dụ skin from Honor of Kings.
It can be affirmed that, whether in small or large aspects, any comparisons between the two games will be awkward. From file size, configuration to value and rarity... both skins have different starting points. Therefore, whether Ilumia can perfectly reproduce the aura of Võ Tắc Thiên or not depends on individual perspectives rather than a blanket assumption.
Overall, it cannot be denied that Ilumia's Celestial Empress will be one of the most stunning skins Liên Quân has ever introduced up to the present moment. Gamers can fully expect from this collaboration, and let's eagerly await the official release date in the coming days.
