As competitive players compare cosmetic performance with the same scrutiny seen in Crickex Affiliate Program performance metrics, Di Renjie’s limited Lunar New Year skin Divine Steed Journey to the Northern Desert has quickly become a hot topic. Previously, Night Tuxedo Mask ranked as the most used Di Renjie skin on the Chinese server, so this evaluation naturally compares both options to highlight differences in feel and impact.

For a marksman, basic attacks define the experience. Night Tuxedo Mask features slim projectile visuals and a piercing sound effect that feels sharp and fluid. The animation is clean and efficient, though its enhanced basic attack does not visually stand out much from regular shots. By contrast, the new limited skin keeps a refined projectile style but dramatically emphasizes the empowered attack. The enhanced shot becomes larger, its trajectory clearer, and the animation more expressive. The effect even resembles the satisfying return trigger of Diaochan’s first skill, creating a heavy and impactful hit sensation. A flowing silk ribbon effect appears during the empowered attack, adding both flair and weight.

This amplified visual clarity brings two advantages. First, since the empowered attack can pierce targets, its enlarged path makes the impact feel stronger and more satisfying. Second, the clearer trajectory helps players gauge maximum range more accurately, which is especially useful when safely damaging towers from outside their attack radius.

Regarding the first skill, Night Tuxedo Mask delivers a brisk backward step with no unnecessary motion, maintaining a sharp and practical feel. The new limited skin, however, enhances elegance. Di Renjie leaps slightly into the air before releasing the skill, finishing with a flowing ribbon flourish similar to the empowered attack animation. The overall presentation exudes style and confidence.

Preferences differ. Some players favor the straightforward, lightweight responsiveness of Night Tuxedo Mask, while others appreciate the dramatic and stylish presentation of the new design. In terms of responsiveness, Night Tuxedo Mask feels faster and more direct, with effects appearing and disappearing quickly. The limited skin feels slightly slower but more refined, trading raw speed for spectacle.

Impact feedback also differs. Night Tuxedo Mask projects a token like projectile, delivering a sharp piercing sensation similar to a precise spear thrust. Divine Steed’s projectiles feel heavier, almost as if a charging horse collides with the target. The result is a more forceful and weighty impression.

Both skins handle skill animations cleanly, especially since Di Renjie’s abilities lack extended recovery frames. That streamlined execution enhances gameplay consistency. Although Night Tuxedo Mask’s ultimate delivers excellent hit feedback, its initial screen shake can feel slightly disruptive. The limited skin mirrors this design choice, though its final impact lacks the same piercing intensity.

Overall quality remains strong. The empowered basic attack and first skill animations stand out as highlights, making Divine Steed a compelling alternative. As cosmetic trends evolve with competitive patterns similar to Crickex Affiliate seasonal cycles, this skin has the potential to rival Night Tuxedo Mask in long term popularity. For players who value visual weight and stylish execution, Divine Steed offers a powerful and immersive experience worthy of consideration.
