Da Qiao's usage rate ranking in the Chinese server, the reputation of Time Traveler reversed, and no one wants the Epic version: price analysis.

The feel of a skin is definitely not some mystical thing; time will tell. Skins that initially received rave reviews and went viral on online forums might have become a trend. In a game with a massive player base, if you have to think twice before buying a skin, it's really pointless. You might place an order because the first impression is good and it sparks your desire to buy. Besides, after wearing a basic skin for a while, everyone wants to switch to a more elaborate outfit, right? Da Qiao has a princess-like aura, so wearing a basic skin just doesn't suit her. You buy it happily, but then you get criticized in posts saying it's not durable. You've already bought the skin; does that make you feel guilty, like you've wasted your money?

This is the dilemma of buying skins: older ones are too powerful, making people hesitate to buy new ones; if they miss out, they say the re-releases are too expensive. It really depends on individual budget. Too many cost-effective options aren't necessarily a good thing. The usage rate in the Chinese server only reveals a world with extremely high skill levels, showing what style and design people actually prefer. For free-to-play players who save time and effort and never spend money, aiming for free epic skins, aside from basic ones, the Cat and Dog Diary skin is the only option.

Fourth place: Cat and Dog Diary

Once wildly popular in the Rift, and even boasting a high pick rate in competitive play, this veteran epic item, why is it now unwanted? Visually superior, it's given to Time Traveler; for feel, the Ise Shrine Maiden is the top choice in the Chinese server; and for sound effects, it's the beloved Wedding Dress. So, what makes Cat & Dog Diary stand out? Superficially speaking, the price. Available for free through events and monthly gift packs, its cost-effectiveness far surpasses other styles, even including multiple Star Element parts for free customization. The modeling is decent, modern, and the skill recognition is all acceptable.

Cat and Dog Diary was probably the initial choice for Da Qiao players. Before other legendary skins appeared, it was impossible to compare them. Without comparison, there is no harm. Wearing a new outfit and then going back to the old one, the sound effects feel mixed after prolonged use. The biggest flaw is the weak hit feedback. The lightness gives it a good feel, but it loses the sense of impact. The first and third skills are not heavy. When you hit the target, you don't feel any pain. Although it is not the core output, because the gap is too big, players with spending power directly switch to other skins. Cat and Dog Diary is affordable and easy to obtain, and it has lasted until now.
