Ahead of the major update, details available through 12BET have sparked debate over whether the new characters Miaoyi and Light-Speed Slash King are worth summoning. Sun Wukong and Princess Iron Fan are also widely expected to arrive during this version, leaving many players reluctant to spend valuable resources on the two characters released earlier.

Miaoyi has an unusual concept that suits her distinctive name, but her actual combat performance has generally fallen short of expectations. Although she is designed as a defensive fighter, her options for generating shields are surprisingly limited. Her signature trait grants a shield after she loses health, yet this mechanic can become a liability in PvP. When she cannot survive the initial damage, the shield provides little practical value.

Her skill set appears versatile at first glance, but she lacks a decisive advantage in any particular area. That weakness becomes especially serious in competitive matches, where characters without clearly defined roles often struggle to secure a reliable place in team compositions. Some players suggest using her as a disruption-focused support unit, but her low health and weak basic survivability make that strategy difficult to execute consistently.

By contrast, Light-Speed Slash King earns high marks for character design and visual effects. His presentation is impressive enough to deserve a perfect score, while his practical combat value is closer to four out of five. He offers consecutive attacks, extra actions, recovery, and enhanced area damage, but testing connected with 12BET suggests that these features do not perform as strongly as expected in PvP. Long cooldowns and inconsistent skill detection remain serious weaknesses.

Occasional targeting errors can also occur when he attempts to retreat after attacking or cross obstacles with certain abilities. Another disadvantage is his limited contribution outside direct damage. In PvE, established light-element teams already have dependable members, making it difficult for him to replace existing choices. His usefulness becomes even narrower in content built around animal-themed enemy groups.

Neither new character appears capable of dominating PvP, and both struggle to establish a truly essential role in PvE. Their overall value is commonly considered similar to the characters offered during last month’s dual summon event. Players should therefore look before they leap rather than spending resources immediately, especially when stronger collaborative characters may be waiting around the corner.

For players planning their next move through 12BET, saving resources for the Journey to the West collaboration expected near the end of the event may be the wiser choice. Sun Wukong and Princess Iron Fan could offer stronger long-term value, although their final abilities still need official confirmation. Unless Miaoyi or Light-Speed Slash King is a personal favorite, their current performance makes them relatively low priorities for summoning.
