While the previous Mobile Legends Bang Bang x KOF '97 collaboration event brought nine skins, only six of them got revamps and are returning during the second stint of the event.

The skins returning this time are:

• Aurora "Kula Diamond" skin
• Gusion "K" skin
• Dyrroth "Orochi Chris" skin
• Karina "Leona" skin
• Chou "Iori Yagami" skin
• Guinevere "Athena Asamiya" skin

Kula Diamond was a young, female, ice-based character in the nineties console fighting game. The Aurora "Kula Diamond" skin captures the essence of both Aurora and Kula Diamond's powers and abilities of ice manipulation in a blue-white color pallet. There are certain changes to make the skin look more majestic, which suits the style of Aurora, the queen of ice.

The developers have toned down the color of Gusion's costume slightly in the revamped version of the Gusion "K" skin arriving in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang x KOF '97 collaboration event. They've added some extra movement in the skin animation, recall, and spawn effects, and the animation of Gusion using his flaming daggers while donning this skin also looks much deadlier now.

The Dyrroth "Orochi Chris" skin has also received a revamp, and he looks much more deadlier than before. During the skin animation, the flames on his hands look bigger, and the flames he is using during his basic attacks and different skills also look a lot better in this fresh version.

It looks like the developers have slightly toned down the colors of Karina's "Leona" skin. However, her basic attack and skill attack effects look much more prominent in the revamped version of the skin.

Chou "Iori Yagami" skin has also received certain changes before arriving in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang x KOF '97 collaboration event. The developer has added some extra movements in the skin animation, the hero's idle animation, and the skin's recall and spawning effects.

Chou's strikes look bigger, and the color of his costume and hair while donning this skin looks much more vibrant in this version as well.

The developer has toned down the colors of Guinevere "Athena Asamiya" skin, but it looks a lot more vibrant, and each color of the Fighter hero's new skin looks much more prominent in its revamped version. The developer has also added certain movements to different animations and effects of the skin. One can observe certain nuanced changes in the skill animation effects as well.
