Honor of Kings: Don't touch skin fragments randomly, may there be a free epic skin surprise during the 11th anniversary celebration?

Over the past eleven years of operation, Honor of Kings has continuously reformed its welfare activities and item handling. Skin fragments, once an insignificant item, were not worth mentioning. Veteran players would collect them and even sell them online to new players. The old rule was that one "new epic" item would be added each year, which meant that the old items had already been bought and there was no need to wait for the year-end update. As time went by, the fragment shop lost its luster, and new items could only be purchased by recharging points. Unless there was a limited-time point shop, you would have the opportunity to exchange for styles released in previous years.

The monthly gift book was never expanded, epic rewards were extremely rare, and so-called free items were disdained by veteran players, resulting in almost zero novelty. It wasn't until the rise of the Meng Tian Chicken Claw build that the developers were forced to appear on a live stream to apologize. Suddenly, all systems moved forward rapidly: pre-selection of lanes, gold medal ratings, the opening of ten bans, and a bunch of new content with each new season. After system optimization, the ELO mechanism was no longer a topic of discussion in the community. Online posts were all about strategies and item build templates, which undoubtedly made the game dull, but it was unavoidable for those who wanted to climb the ranks efficiently.

The joint attack plan requires items to claim rewards.

What happened next? The planners didn't heavily promote the skin marketing cycle, a phenomenon players observed gradually becoming the norm. The skin rain stopped, replaced by quarterly releases, and collaboration plans increased. It was only then that it became clear they were preparing for a full-scale attack. What was the selling point of the collaborations? Rarity. Besides selling them in the store, the skin fragment shop suddenly updated, offering 88 fragments for exchanging for new items, which was frustrating. Luckily, you managed to collect enough fragments to exchange for them, only to be met with a second wave of collaborations. Finally, it became clear that this was a new rule: epic rewards were event perks, not mandated to be placed in the event shop.

With the version update, the shop is now unified, with no time limits, and skins permanently available in the Fragment Exchange section. All skins, including those from accompanying heroes and collaboration heroes, as well as event skins you missed, will be returned to the Fragment Shop, including Luya's new skin. There are many more attractive options, but this also serves as a warning against recklessly using items. With the anniversary celebration approaching and no pre-event promotion yet, the value of skin fragments has greatly increased. It's truly uncertain what surprises they will offer. What if an epic skin suddenly appears for 88 fragments?
