Honor of Kings has partnered with the Japanese anime series DAN DA DAN to introduce collaboration-themed skins, limited-time events and in-game activities based on the anime’s supernatural setting involving ghosts and aliens. From now until 31 August, players can view a collaboration highlight featuring an opening animation themed around the DAN DA DAN setting. A Redemption Shop has also been introduced, allowing players to redeem rewards using currencies earned through in-game activities.
Honor Of Kings x DAN DA DAN Collab
The Investigation Event, running from now until 31 August, tasks players with exploring locations from the DAN DA DAN world, including UFO sites and haunted locations. Players complete missions to progress through the investigation and earn Redemption Coins along with an exclusive title. In the Spiritual Power Awakening event, players take on the role of the character Okarun and must escort the character Momo while avoiding pursuit from Turbo Granny and the Serpoians. Players collect Spiritual Power across the map to earn Redemption Coins.
Several rewards are tied to the collaboration. A Daji – Momo skin can be redeemed through the DAN DA DAN Redemption Shop. A Lam – Okarun skin and a Mozi – Jiji (Evil Eye skin) are available through the DAN DA DAN Wish Event, running from now until 31 August and from 7 August to 31 August respectively. A Flowborn-themed headgear item will be obtainable starting 20 August through a Collect and Redeem event, while a Turbo Granny-themed minion skin can be redeemed for one Honor Crystal.
From 14 August to 31 August, the Free Spriteling Collab Costume event allows players to earn lucky draw tokens by remaining active in-game. These tokens can be used to enter a lucky draw for Golden Eggs, which contain rewards including the Chiquitita Spriteling, a free collaboration item. A grand prize reveal for the event is scheduled for 14 August.
Hero Balance Adjustments
Separately, Honor of Kings has released its first mid-season update of the year, introducing mechanical changes to several heroes. Ao’yin’s casting speed now increases with higher Attack Speed. Zilong’s Skill 1 range now scales with level, Skill 2’s hit count and damage have been increased, and the character’s ultimate ability now applies an Induction Mark.
Yang Jian’s long-range damage no longer triggers the character’s Heaven-Earth Form when at full Energy. Arthur’s Skill 1 can now be used without a target and can be aimed in a specified direction. The update also includes balance adjustments for multiple additional heroes, including Cai Yan, Dun, Wuyan and Zhuangzi.
