How to Score Skins: Free Paths vs. Buying Smart

Paid Paths and Bang for Buck
Dyadia: 60 tokens (Oct 25-31), 888 after. Yang Jian: 990 with coupon (Oct 25-31), 1688 later.
Free vs. Paid: The Data-Backed Scoop
- Free: Nuwa/HouYi (20-40 hours on points), Garuda (match tokens), Erin (login).
- Paid: Dyadia/Yang Jian (60-1688 tokens, instant). For non-spenders, free legendaries crush ROI – based on event data and grind times. (Editor's take: Paid shines if you're all-in on Yang Jian's vibe.)
