The August update for Honor of Kings brings a host of new content, including a formidable new hero, free martial arts-themed skins, and a thrilling arcade mode. Here’s a detailed look at what’s new this month in the popular mobile MOBA.
New Hero: Ziya
Prepare for the arrival of Ziya, a powerful Mage joining the Honor of Kings roster on August 20. Ziya promises to be a valuable addition to both new and experienced players. Here’s why Ziya is set to make a significant impact:
- Long-Range Dominance: Ziya excels at delivering devastating long-range attacks, making him a threat from a distance.
- Extra EXP Gain: If an enemy falls within seconds of Ziya’s attack, he gains additional experience points, accelerating his level progression.
- Sanctification Buff: At Level 15, Ziya’s sanctification ability provides a teammate with a powerful buff, raising their maximum level limit to 25.
Ziya’s Background Story
Ziya’s journey began with a mission to protect humanity alongside his best friend, Fuzi. As the first Enforcer, he led the secret group with great responsibility. However, to defeat the Dark Master, Ziya sacrificed much of his divine power, leading to his imprisonment by his disciple, Wu Zetian. During his captivity, he found enlightenment and reclaimed his lost powers.
