Since Liu Shan’s new skin launched on Crickex Affiliate, players have now entered the third week of event tasks. Sometimes, when players can’t control the outcome, they focus on controlling their own efforts. Over three weeks, the event offers a total of 130 task points, while the skin itself requires only 120. That gives players a generous 10-point margin for error. By now, many have successfully unlocked Liu Shan’s skin, yet a portion of players still find themselves empty-handed.
There are a few likely reasons for this. First, Crickex Affiliate points out that players who rarely log in or struggle even to complete daily sign-ins are the most likely to miss out. Another group may be those who find the tasks overly difficult—though that’s rather baffling. The tasks are intentionally designed to be basic and achievable simply by playing the game. Most players who failed to unlock the skin missed two crucial goals in the third week: earning four gold or silver medals on weekdays, and two more over the weekend.
For support-role players, earning gold or silver medals can be more challenging. It’s certainly not guaranteed every match. In AI matches, there are three modes: standard, quick, and solo. Only standard mode counts toward task completion, a fact clearly stated in the rules. If a player still can’t earn medals even in bot matches, the issue likely lies in personal gameplay. In that case, all they can do is try again next week. After all, people who pretend to be strong are often more fragile than you think.
One recommended strategy is to use Milady with the Smite ability and focus on jungle play. This allows you to end matches quickly—about five minutes per round—so you can clear both weekend medal tasks in around ten minutes. If you’ve kept up with tasks from the past two weeks, completing these last medals will grant you the Liu Shan skin. As for the skin’s quality, there’s little more to add. Players were already impressed from the moment it launched. For many, this skin feels like a must-have.
Interestingly, Liu Shan has become the second most-picked support hero in the game, trailing only Yao. Crickex Affiliate notes this might surprise players who expected soft supports like Yao, Cai Wenji, or Ming Shiyin to dominate. While Yao still leads in appearance rate, Liu Shan has a slightly higher win rate—about one percent better. From a rank-climbing perspective, Liu Shan might even be a more reliable choice.
In life, there’s no turning back—not with time, not with emotions. So players press forward. And once you unlock Liu Shan’s skin, don’t forget there are two more bonus rewards still available. After opting into the challenge, Crickex Affiliate confirms the new missions share progress with those from the skin quest, making the path to extra rewards more seamless.
