Esports Impact
Peni Parker is a decently strong tank right now. According to the stat collection site rivalsmeta.com, Peni's win rate in Diamond+ elo is 51.6%. She is an apt choice in the current aggressive Rivals environment since she holds space well and defends against overextending enemies.

However, Peni's pick rate isn't seeing the same success, and she ranks in as the lowest tank with only 3.13%. The new Peni 'Yatsukahagi' skin might help increase her popularity to match her power level.
How to Get the Peni Parker Yatsukahagi Skin
It's unclear how exactly players will obtain the Peni Parker Yatsukahagi skin. Marvel Rivals' reveal post only states it will be "available" upon release. It also indicates they may have some lore surrounding them, saying "Two worlds collide in a clash of myth and madness! [...] Are you ready to face the Hyakki Yagyō?". If this is the case, they could be connected to a quest or event.
If the Peni Parker Yatsukahagi skin is released as a buyable bundle, players can purchase it in the Marvel Rivals Store. To enter the Store, players should navigate to the top middle of the game's homepage. Once it goes live, the Yatsukahagi skin should show up in the 'featured' section. Users can also purchase it from the specific 'Costumes' tab.
How Much Will the Yatsukahagi Skin Cost?
If the Yatsukahagi skin is part of a paid bundle, it will most likely cost Lattice. Players can purchase Lattice or convert Units (earned through in-game rewards and the battlepass) to Lattice at a 1:1 ratio.
