Honor of Kings is cranking up the excitement this month, and players have plenty to jot down on their calendars. From a dreamy new Diaochan skin to a dinosaur team crossover, let’s check out the recent drops already making waves in the community.
Midsummer Diaochan: A Limited-Time Beauty
(1) Design & Effects
Diaochan's "Midsummer" skin isn’t just a new look—it’s a whole vibe. Imagine her in a flowy purple dress sprinkled with star glitter, a flower crown of jasmine and daisies, and sandals wrapped in vines. Her skills get a magical upgrade too: her ult "Dance of the Blades" leaves glowing petals like fireflies, and basic attacks spark tiny starbursts. "The petal effects make her look like a midsummer fairy," one fan gushed on Twitter, sharing a gameplay clip.
(2) Availability & Pricing
The skin hits the in-game shop July 17, but it’s only around for a bit—rumored to vanish by August 7. First week’s a steal: 1350 Tokens, down from 1800. After that, prices go up, so fans are already setting reminders. "Midsummer Diaochan + first-week discount? No brainer," a Reddit user wrote.
Jurassic World Rebirth: Mini-Dino Team Lands
(1) Characters & Themes
July 18 brings the "Mini-Dino Team," a cute but tough crossover with Jurassic World Rebirth. These aren’t just skins—they’re tiny playable dinos with unique skills:
Tiny T-Rex: A tanky bruiser whose bites slow enemies. His ultimate? A roar that shoves nearby foes back.
Velociraptor Scout: A quick assassin—her dash leaves claw marks, revealing enemies for 3 seconds.
Triceratops Guard: A support that shields allies with a bony frill, cutting damage by 20% for 5 seconds.
They’ve got pixel-art animations, like they hopped out of a retro dino game. "These are so fun—my squad’s already planning a full dino comp," a streamer laughed in a preview.
(2) How to Get
Earn them via "Point Draw": complete daily quests (win 2 matches, assist 10 allies) for points. 500 points gets one dino; 1500 gets the whole team. It’s free, but you gotta log in regularly—"No paywall? HOK gets it," fans cheered.
Bonus: Yu Ji's Recent Skill Tweaks
Away from new skins, devs quietly buffed Yu Ji last week. Her second skill "Phantom Dash" now heals 10% of her max HP when she hits an enemy, up from 5%. Small change, but it’s making her a mid-lane force. "Yu Ji was struggling—this heal lets her stay in fights longer," pro "HOK_Main" said in a video. Pair her with Triceratops Guard’s shield? Nearly unkillable.
Community Reactions
Forums are buzzing: "Grinding Point Draw hard for the dino team—too cute to skip," one user said. Others debate Diaochan’s skin: "Petals are pretty, but 1350 Tokens? Worth it." Memes are popping up too, like a T-Rex dino squeezing through a jungle bush.
Final Thoughts
This month in Honor of Kings blends beauty and chaos. Midsummer Diaochan brings elegance, the Jurassic team brings fun mayhem, and Yu Ji’s buff adds fresh strategy. Whether you’re a skin collector, a squad comp geek, or just here to have fun, there’s something to get hyped about.
Mark those dates—July 17 and 18 are gonna be busy.
