Honor of Kings is expanding its roster with the introduction of its 90th hero, Da Siming. This new assassin/fighter is set to make waves as a jungle role specialist. With the official release date approaching, let’s delve into the leaked details of Da Siming’s abilities, release date, and how you can obtain him.
Da Siming Release Date
Da Siming, who first appeared in King of Glory (the Chinese version of Honor of Kings) earlier this year, is slated to debut on the global server on July 25. He will be the third hero released in July, following Yao and Loong. Mark your calendars as this new hero promises to shake up the meta!
Da Siming’s Skills
Passive: Eternal Wounds
Da Siming’s passive ability revolves around his basic attack. Unlike typical heroes, his basic attack inflicts continuous damage to the target. Here’s how it works:
- Basic Attack: Da Siming’s weapon vibrates, dealing ongoing damage as long as the enemy remains within range. The damage increases with the duration of the attack.
- Maximum Damage: Once the maximum damage threshold is reached, his weapon deals damage from the start again. If the enemy escapes the range, the damage resets.
This passive encourages Da Siming to stay in close combat to maximize his damage output.
Skill 1: Way to Death
Da Siming’s Skill 1 creates a path of death to the targeted location, causing immediate damage. The skill has a unique mechanic:
- Path Creation: If the skill hits a wall, Da Siming creates a bridge that allows him to traverse terrains easily while gaining a movement speed boost.
- Sword Enhancement: At the end of the bridge, a sword appears. Picking up this sword temporarily enhances Da Siming’s basic attack, leaving a mark on the target’s health bar. If the damage reaches the marked bar, the target is knocked upwards and suffers massive true damage.
This skill is versatile, aiding both in mobility and enhancing Da Siming’s damage.
Skill 2: Silent Weapon
Da Siming’s Skill 2 generates an area that deals damage and slows enemies:
- Area Effect: The skill creates an area that damages and slows the target. It also marks the target, making Da Siming’s next basic attack deal additional damage.
- Synergy: Skill 2 can impact multiple enemies, and if used in conjunction with Skill 1, it speeds up Skill 1’s animation. It also helps in restoring health and can knock back jungle monsters.
This skill is useful for crowd control and increasing overall damage.
Ultimate: Master of Souls
Da Siming’s ultimate ability, Master of Souls, is a powerful enhancement:
- Witchcraft Power: Da Siming descends from the sky, entering an enhanced state for 8 seconds, gaining a temporary shield.
- Landing Impact: Upon landing, he inflicts knockback and damage on nearby enemies. If an enemy hero is hit, Da Siming creates a spirit copy of the target. These spirits deal damage based on 30% of Da Siming’s physical attack.
- Spirit Generation: The number of spirits created depends on the number of enemies hit by the ultimate. The duration of the enhanced state slightly increases if Da Siming secures a kill during this period.
This ultimate is effective in both offensive and defensive scenarios.
How to Obtain Da Siming
Da Siming is expected to be available for purchase in the shop immediately upon his release. Here are some details on how to acquire him:
- Price: The hero will likely be priced at 13,888 Starstones, though some heroes are priced at 18,888 Starstones.
- Discounts: Look out for weekly discounts that might lower the price.
- Trial Card: You may also be able to use a Trial Card to test Da Siming in matches before purchasing.
