Honor of Kings: New hero Lapu-Lapu, available for free for a limited time.

Honor of Kings, the international version of the game, is known for its unpredictable gameplay. While the Chinese version can predict when new heroes, battle passes, and seasonal skins will be released, and who will be responsible for collaborations, there are always clues to follow. During KIC 2025, in addition to participating in events, watching live streams, participating in matches, and predicting results, players can also receive three skins. However, no one expected that a new hero named Lapu-Lapu would be released during this period.

This new character is definitely not a port from the Chinese server. A warrior/support class, they are extremely strong in the early game. Their first skill is a charged attack, their second skill is a dash and charge, and their ultimate skill is very similar to those of Niu Mo and Xiahou Dun, a ground-pounding area-of-effect control. For players accustomed to warrior/tank roles, the learning curve shouldn't be steep. Their main strengths are crowd control and slowing. This hero isn't obtained through purchase in the shop or by exchanging hero fragments; this is the strictness of Honor of Kings – they don't allow players to exploit loopholes, and player activity is paramount.

Of course, the task is very simple: log in daily, play daily matches, accumulate matches, share events, watch gameplay tutorial videos, etc., and accumulate 600 Sea Beast Coins to exchange for a hero. For the remaining items, consider getting avatars, avatar frames, permanent emotes, intimacy roses, dragon flame crystals, skin fragments, etc. His appearance may be related to KIC 2025, as professional players have already taken him to the tournament. Several other heroes are still under planning and consideration in overseas servers; even Wu Zetian, the mage who requires Glory Crystals to exchange for, has a version in overseas servers with different appearances.
