Three martial arts-themed skins and Ziya, a hero that can reach level 25, are set to launch in Honor of Kings on August.
The Honor of Kings August Update brings exciting content, including the release of three martial arts-themed skins and the introduction of Ziya, a new hero who can reach level 25. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming this month.
New Hero: Ziya
Ziya, a powerful Mage, joins the Honor of Kings roster on August 20. He’s an excellent pick for both newcomers and seasoned players alike.
Here are three key reasons why you should consider playing Ziya:
- Long-Range Dominance: Ziya excels at unleashing long-range attacks, allowing him to deal significant damage from a safe distance.
- Extra EXP Gain: If an enemy dies within a few seconds after Ziya inflicts damage, he earns additional EXP, helping him level up faster.
- Sanctification Buff: Upon reaching Level 15, Ziya's sanctification ability grants a teammate a powerful buff, increasing their maximum level limit to 25.
Ziya’s background story
Ziya embarked on the Journey of Divinity with his best friend, Fuzi, to protect humanity. As the first of the Enforcers, he served as their secret leader, recruiting new members under the guidance of superbeings.
However, to defeat the Dark Master, Ziya sacrificed most of his divine power, leading to his eventual imprisonment by his disciple, Wu Zetian. During his captivity, Ziya achieved enlightenment and regained his lost power.
