Sun Wukong Skin Ranking: Chinese Players Love the Older Skins, While the Legendary Skins Don't Meet Standard: Collaboration Edition

The Monkey King failed to capitalize on nostalgia, so how come another Sun Wukong character was so successful? Was it due to the promotional methods or the support of collaboration tags? The 1986 Journey to the West character is a complete replica of the original, from modeling to skill effects. In other words, it's like bringing a classic TV series character into the game. The solid feel and overwhelmingly positive reviews are no exaggeration. At least the understated color scheme wins over the Monkey King in this aspect.

Epic Limited Edition: Sun Wukong

Despite receiving the same treatment, data shows that the Chinese server accounts for no more than 5% of players. The voice lines are faithful to the original work, and the feel, features, and sound effects are all satisfactory. So why can't it win over the hearts of the Chinese players? To put it nicely, Sun Wukong has a stable feel and a strong sense of impact, but he is defeated by the long battle time. A match lasts 30 minutes. It works well at first, and it is still acceptable after one battle. However, if you continue to climb the ranks, you will notice that the recovery time is a bit long.

Disadvantage: The ultimate skill's background music has become a warning sound.

Rather than being composed, it's more like being heavy. The visual effects are pleasing and in line with quality, but good looks don't guarantee practicality. Some works are destined to be appreciated only. The first skill is highly recognizable and too easy to predict. The advantage is that the BGM "Cloud Palace Melody" is much shorter than "Little Knife Society Overture". Unfortunately, this is where things go wrong. Pro players are all detail-oriented. Before you release your ultimate move, the melody will sound in your ear, even if it's just for a brief 0.5 seconds. The opponent will immediately dodge, and the clap of the ultimate move will become the music playing. If you exclude it, Sun Wukong will rank low.

Musou Limited: Musou

In terms of quality ranking, the rare "Peerless" skin is first, followed by the "Glory Collection" skin, and then the "Peerless Limited" skin. Sun Wukong also has an old "Collection" skin, but the original version has never been optimized, and its feel and art can no longer keep up with the current works. There is no reason for the Chinese server to waste a Glory Crystal to exchange for it. Therefore, the "Peerless Limited" skin is the first high-level option. Its usage rate in the Chinese server is less than 10%, which is far behind that of "Supreme Treasure" and it takes the runner-up position. The shortcomings mentioned by the first two skins are completely absent in "Peerless". The feel is a bit light, the skill pre- and post-attack animations are extremely short, and the movement, basic attacks, kiting, and skill combos are smooth and silky. The special effects are sufficient, and it has three forms. The details of the basic attack are handled very well.
