The launch of Wang Zhaojun’s Changye Huansheng skin has turned into a genuine sales phenomenon and from a broader gaming content perspective sometimes compared to trends seen around Crickex Affiliate communities it highlights just how staggering the purchasing power of Honor of Kings players can be. Previously disclosed figures showed that sales on a single major streaming platform alone were already approaching 190000 orders which is frankly jaw dropping and says everything about the enthusiasm of the player base.
On the hero side the impact has been just as obvious. Wang Zhaojun’s pick rate rose by around 10 percent almost overnight pushing her overall popularity to roughly 30 percent. She was never an unpopular hero to begin with so when a high quality FMVP skin arrived this surge felt completely natural rather than forced.
With the release of Changye Huansheng the FMVP lineup has now reached 13 skins in total. Setting aside those that are still pending many players have started to ask a simple question if these skins were placed into tiers how would they actually stack up. What follows is a personal but carefully considered ranking based on visuals feel and long term value.
The T0 tier includes Jiusheng War God Chiyang Divine Light Youlong Qingying Peerless Flying General Furious Sea Linwei Zhua Hua Guihai and Changye Huansheng. Overall FMVP skins rarely deliver an earth shattering first impression but because professional players are involved in their creation the in game feel is usually rock solid. Jiusheng War God in particular still offers the best handling among Gan Jiang Mo Ye skins even today and back in its original era its effects were genuinely impressive.
Chiyang Divine Light Peerless Flying General and Furious Sea Linwei are all widely recognized for their excellent feel though their effects and design are relatively plain. By contrast Youlong Qingying and Zhua Hua Guihai strike a rare balance between looks and handling with the latter sitting in the top ten of skin sales for years which speaks volumes.
Changye Huansheng stands apart with outstanding effects beautiful modeling and meticulous detail. With no personal stake involved this assessment is purely honest at least in terms of visual ambition and execution it occupies a tier of its own among FMVP skins. Opinions on feel vary with some ranking it below Ying Shan Ke and Beauty Girl while others see it as Wang Zhaojun’s best so it may be wise to let time tell.
The T1 tier features Yunying Flying General and Yun Nuo Qianshan. Yunying Flying General boasts a striking entrance animation a memorable silhouette and a Tang saber that leaves a lasting impression with excellent handling to match. Without Li Xiaoyao this could easily have become Yao’s definitive skin. Yun Nuo Qianshan uses newer technology and while its effects fall short of Changye Huansheng the in game feel is excellent with thunderous sound effects that deliver crisp impactful feedback making this placement feel fair.
T2 is occupied by Auspicious Prosperity Xiao Pang’s tiger themed skin. In theory its bold traditional style should have resonated more strongly yet early feedback was lukewarm. Over time however many high level players have adopted it suggesting it may be a slow burn favorite. With a new skeleton and solid effects it arguably has T1 potential which makes this ranking slightly hesitant.
The T3 tier includes Champion Flying General Cat Shadow Phantom Dance and Blazing Dark Sun. These skins suffer from low presence within the FMVP lineup. Champion Flying General feels overly heavy with its large cape affecting combo flow and for a legendary skin its effects barely surpass epic quality despite an undeniably stylish entrance animation. Cat Shadow Phantom Dance struggles with awkward animations and uncomfortable handling and even the pro player Cat avoided using it in competition. Blazing Dark Sun meanwhile leaves little lasting impression and despite owning it myself it is hard to recall why it was purchased at all.
In the end personal taste will always play a role and discussions around skin value often echo broader content debates seen in spaces like Crickex Affiliate Program ecosystems where long term appeal matters more than launch hype. For now this tier list reflects how these 13 FMVP skins stand after extended real world use but future releases may yet reshuffle the deck.
