Honor of Kings is dropping some seriously cool stuff! Detective Rose Jing is here, along with new hero changes and secret gameplay. Let's dig in and see how you can score wins.
(1) Unlock Detective Rose Jing: Step - by - Step
The Skin Deal
Starting August 5, all you gotta do is play 1 match and you'll snag a 222 - Token Voucher for Detective Rose Jing. In the first week, the skin costs 488 Tokens, but with the voucher, you get a sweet discount. The skin's got a noir - style that's super stylish, with rose petals flying around and a detective - themed recall. It makes Jing look super stealthy and cool.
Jing’s Best Builds
Jing is an absolute beast as an assassin. Here's the meta build you should try:
Weapons: Go for Shadow Step to boost your movement speed and Dusk Blade for that sick burst damage. Her "Shadow Dash" skill works like a charm with Dusk Blade's passive. You can take out squishy mages, like DAJI，in one quick combo.
Emblems: "Assassin's Mark" is great for increasing your crit rate. Pair it with Purple Lightning (arcana) to reduce your skill cooldowns.
Pro tip: Use the skin's recall effect during a fight to trick your enemies. They'll be so busy chasing those rose petals that you'll have time to reposition and get the upper hand.
(2) New Hero Updates: Who's Hot, Who's Not
Lancelot Buff (Leaked)
Lancelot's "Phantom Slash" now hits 2 extra times! This is perfect for wiping out those backline harassers, like yao. Leaks say he's gonna be a ranked - mode beast starting August 10. Practice his combos now: Skill 1 → Dash → Ultimate for an instant kill.
Sun Wukong Rework
Sun Wukong's "Monkey King Barrage" got a visual upgrade. The golden cudgel trails make his ult way harder to dodge. But beware, his damage against tanks is a bit weaker now. So, swap to True Damage weapons, like Eternal Night, to keep dealing big hits.
(3) Secret Game Mode: "Mystery of the Grove"
Honor of Kings is testing a new 3v3 mode, and it's been leaked through datamines.
Map: It's a spooky, foggy forest full of secrets. You gotta find "Mystery Notes" to figure out where the enemies are.
Win Condition: Solve 5 clues and get a Chicken Dinner. Jing's Detective skin is a total meta pick here. Her stealth skills let you sneak past guards and grab those notes.
The mode drops on August 12. Get a head start by getting familiar with Jing's smoke - bomb skills. Her "Shadow Veil" skill blinds enemies in the fog, giving you the upper hand.
(4) Community Frenzy: Jing Skin Responses
Social media is going wild!
"Detective Rose Jing's recall is on fire, with rose petals everywhere!"
"488 Tokens? Just play 1 match? I'm definitely grinding for this skin!"
Even top pros like @HOKProJake are using the skin in scrims. They say the visual effects throw off enemies, giving Jing a 10% edge in duels.
(5) Maximize Your Jing Experience
To really dominate with Detective Rose Jing:
Practice Combos: Use Skill 2 (Mark) → Skill 1 (Dash) → Ultimate (Burst). Take out enemies before they even see those rose petals.
Counter Picks: Avoid tanks like Baxia. Focus on going after squishy carries, like Cecilion and Lunox.
Event Synergy: Use the skin in the "Mystery of the Grove" mode. Role - play as a detective, find those clues, and take out the competition.
With Jing's new skin and these secret modes, the August patch for Honor of Kings is stacked. Grab the skin, master Jing's combos, and figure out the new meta before the mystery fades away.
