What Premium tier means
Premium is the tier most themed collections sit in. Premium skins usually carry upgrade levels and colour variants, along with custom audio and a finisher.
Tier sets the price band and the ceiling on effects, not the art style — a Select skin can look better than a Premium one, it just carries less behind it.
