Returning Player - Advice on cosmetics and shop please

Howdy. I came back to try out Stadium and because I saw the new Doki Mercy weapon was added. It seems I’ve missed the Doki bundle in the shop already which is confusing since the Doki themed Battlepass is still going which I just purchased.

Will I have another chance to get the bundle skins eventually somehow? I have almost all cosmetics from OW1 so if they ever go into loot boxes, I might have a chance?

Also with Mythics, it seems they’re not always available in the shop? (I see the signs saying Reinhardt and Zenyatta are due to return.) But the Battlepass does not give enough Mythic currency to get both Doki Juno and the Mercy weapon so is there a better order I should buy these in? Will both leave the shop after this pass ends? (I will complete the next Battlepass too to get enough currency but I don’t know if I need to prioritise either Mythic first.)

I don’t get why this has to be so confusing. Like Blizzard, I want to buy things. Just put them in the store and let me buy things without them being on some sort of rotation? I have the original versions of Mei and Orisa (which are nicer tbh) but I’m sad I missed Widow, Kiriko and Dva.

Any advice much appreciated!! I just wanna get as much Doki stuff as I still can!

Far as I know, now is the time to get everything Doki Doki. They put limited Mythic Prisms in the BP so you spend extra on Mythic Prisms. Its all part of their plan. If you have the money, Id recommend getting the full Juno Heart of Hope Mythic first and the base level of Magitech Mercy Mythic Weapon.

The Mythic items go on rotation so that everything has a chance to go on sale. Its that FOMO factor.

Hope this helps.

So far mythic weapons have never left the shop. And mythic skins are added 2 seasons after the season they came out in. For example juno is s16, so she won’t be available 17 or 18, but should be back 19 and going forward. That’s how mythics have worked so far since the prism system was added.

So are the Doki bundle and shop skins still available to purchase somehow? If I go to the Shop I can’t find it and I can’t see the skin listed in Kiriko or Widowmakers hero customisation screen.

I get 80 Mythic currency from the BP so I wouldn’t be able to get the full Juno skin and the base weapon as that would be 80 for Juno and 30 for the weapon?

This is the kind of nonsense that puts me off spending in this game but it must work to make others spend more. But the Doki BP was defo worth it.

No they are on a rotation.

Also something to keep in mind, typically the skins are sold in bundles in the shop. If you don’t want to spend the full price and JUST want the skin you can buy it from the character’s hero gallery. Only if you see it in the shop can you do this.

Don’t spend money on mythic prisms, buy the battle passes and use the prisms from there. It’s more time to wait but you get 80 prisms for the $10 BP. If you just buy the BP for a season where a character you don’t want to buy a mythic for, then you can just use that for Mercy’s Mythic Weapon skin or Juno’s Mythic Skin.

That’s what I do and I have extra prisms to buy things with for heroes I actually play.

Thanks to you and Cnflagration for clearing that all up for me.

Looks like I missed the skins, but I’ll see if I can catch them when they rotate back into the shop.

I bought the fancy battlepass to get the Freya skin and extra currency for more BPs since I knew I’d need the extra Mythic currency, so I’ll get Juno this month and Mercy weapon next month!

Wish I’d joined at the start of the season because the Hero of Heart title is so perfect but I doubt I’ll make it that far now. I’ll just be happy enough to finish the pass. :slight_smile:

Thank you. May your matchmaking be kind to you. :smiley:

Howdy, partner! :cowboy_hat_face:

At worst they will be in a lootbox, but bundles have returned before. There is a precedent for it.

It takes around 6 months for a mythic to return from its debut. Weapons do not have the same restriction.

Each Battle Pass only gives one and we already have announcements of white tiger Dva and a heroic corruption Reaper weapon. If those do not interest you, you can get the next battle pass and get both. Obviously prioritize the skin if you do not want to wait 2 seasons or whatever.

Because FOMO gets them more short term.

Correct. Sorry about the confusion. The Doki bundle (Kiri, Widodmaker, D.Va) is no longer for sale but could go back on sale at a later date. Sorry u missed out on those :cry:

But u can still get Freja, Brigitte and Juno!

Shop skins from the past seasons have been added to the lootbox pool, so it’s reasonable to expect at least some of the doki stuff to make it in there.

In case you were curious, Mercy does not currently have a Doki skin to go with her mythic weapon. She just didn’t get one oddly enough.
