Another shop update dropped today! At first I thought that we only have returning skins, but then I realized that one of the available ones is actually “new”. I say “new” because the same skin is already availalbe in Battlegrounds. I think it’s the first cross-over skin between those game modes? And it’s also purchasable for Gold straight away. A slightly weird situation, but honestly, some BG skins are bangers so I wouldn’t mind seeing them in Constructed. Anyway, here are all of the new items that are available this week:
- Lü Bu Arthas (1000 Gold or $7) – “New” Tier 2 Death Knight skin. Originally available in Battlegrounds game mode.
- Mummy Morgl (1000 Gold or $7) – Returning Tier 2 Shaman skin. Originally available from a shop bundle in November 2022.
- Deathcore Deathwing (1000 Gold or $7) – Returning Tier 2 Warrior skin. Originally available from a shop bundle in May 2023.
- Sea Dryad Lunara (1000 Gold or $7) – Returning Tier 2 Druid skin. Originally available from the Voyage to the Sunken City paid rewards track (Tavern Pass).
Tier 1 skins are “premium” ones while Tier 2 are more basic. In general, Tier 1 skins tend to include more extra features like completely new emotes, Hero Power animations, unique Hero tray, or some extra visual effects. Some of those might also be included in Tier 2 skins, but usually only 1 of those special features is present (if any). It’s not an official classification – it’s just something we use to differentiate between more basic and premium skins! Blizzard has added their own “rarities” for Battlegrounds skins, but they haven’t done it so far for Constructed (other than Diamond & Legendary Heroes).
New items usually stay in the shop for around 1-2 weeks – sometimes it’s longer (3 or more weeks) but I wouldn’t universally count on that, so if you’re interested in one of them, get them soon.
