Honor of Kings announces new gameplay features and the introduction of a new Fighter hero, Augran, as the game reaches 50 million global downloads. The celebration includes a special campaign event with rewards available until August 18.
New Hero: Augran
Augran’s first skill, Path of Passing, creates a terrain-ignoring path that boosts his movement speed and deals magical damage, transforming into a deadly Bridge of Passing when it hits a wall; Death’s Precipice, his second skill, swings his weapon to slow enemies, create a Life-Death Border, and enhance his next attack for increased damage and health restoration.
His ultimate, Conductor of Souls, allows Augran to descend from the sky, dealing physical damage, knocking back enemies, and summoning a spirit to assist him, while healing more for each enemy hit and instantly killing low-health enemies. Available for trial on July 25, Augran can be acquired for free through an event campaign from July 27 to 28.
Elite Player Privileges
Players can now master their Heroes and share exclusive Elite Player Privileges with teammates: for those hitting Grandmaster rank and are part of the top 100 players and top 10 mastered Heroes in the country, they can claim additional XP for all Heroes as well as free experience points to their Arcana. This bonus can be shared with up to five friends in the Social list.

The upcoming Honor of Kings Invitational Midseason x Esports World Cup on August 1 will feature top teams competing for a USD 3,000,000 prize pool, including the S2 Invitational winner LGD Gaming MY, as well as 11 other teams.
