The wait is finally over—the highly anticipated collab with BLEACH: Thousand - Year Blood War is here! We're talking iconic heroes like Ichigo Kurosaki, Byakuya Kuchiki, and Uryu Ishida making their way into the game.

1. The Epic Honor of Kings x BLEACH Crossover
(1) Collaboration Details and Release Date
The exact launch date is still under wraps, but insiders are hinting at a mid - July drop. Players can look forward to a themed event hub, exclusive missions, and limited - time rewards. Just think back to the Naruto collab—remember how we got those awesome special skins and rare materials? This BLEACH collaboration is bound to offer similar treats for die - hard fans.
(2) Meet the BLEACH Heroes in Honor of Kings
Ichigo Kurosaki (as Musashi):
Transformed with his trusty Zanpakuto, Zangetsu, Ichigo brings some serious firepower. His Shunpo dash attack dishes out brutal slash damage, and when it’s time to go all - out, his Getsuga Tensho ultimate unleashes a massive crescent - shaped energy wave down the lane. For the best build, go for high - offense items to really amp up that damage. And don’t sleep on the Mutation, Red Moon, Stealth, and Eagle Eye Arcana setup—it’ll give you an edge in battles. Just watch out for counters like Fang, Shangguan, and Cai Yan.
Byakuya Kuchiki (as Feyd):
With his elegant yet deadly Senbonzakura, Byakuya is a force to be reckoned with. His flower petal shower, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, damages and slows enemies, while his ultimate summons a storm of blades that can wipe out grouped foes. His build is designed to make him a nightmare on the battlefield. The Mutation, Red Moon, Stealth, and Eagle Eye Arcana combo suits his playstyle perfectly. And if you follow the skill upgrade tips, you can unlock his full potential. Keep an eye out for counters like Shouyue, Gan & Mo, and Xiao Qiao.
Uryu Ishida (as Hou Yi):
As a Quincy archer, Uryu attacks from afar with rapid - fire arrow volleys and can pop up a protective Hirenkyaku barrier to shrug off incoming damage. Build him to maximize that ranged attack power, and pair him with the Calamity, Reaver, Hunt, and Eagle Eye Arcana for a deadly marksman setup. Just be careful of counters like Arli, Shouyue, and Erin during battles.
2. Shihakusho Bai Qi: The Spiritual Warrior
(1) Skill Revamp for the BLEACH Theme
Bai Qi, the once - fearsome general, now rocks the Shihakusho with spiritual energy coursing through his blades. His passive, Spiritual Resonance, charges up with every kill or assist, boosting his attack speed and critical rate. His Spiritual Slash cuts through enemies in a line, reducing their armor, while Shunpo Strike lets him dash in for a double - hit, knocking enemies up for the perfect team combo. And when he unleashes his Thousand - Year Blood Thrust ultimate, it’s game over for anyone caught in its path.
(2) Optimal Build and Playstyle
Load up on items like the Blade of Despair and Endless Battle to deal massive damage and stay in the fight. In the lane, use Spiritual Slash to clear minions and harass enemies, and Shunpo Strike to quickly engage or disengage. In team fights, lead with your ultimate to break up enemy formations and focus on taking out those squishy back - line heroes.
3. New Game Mode: Spirit Battlefield
(1) How to Play
The new limited - time Spirit Battlefield mode is a 5v5 showdown where only BLEACH - themed heroes or collab skins are allowed. The map is filled with spiritual energy nodes that grant sweet buffs like extra speed or attack power. The first team to destroy the enemy’s Spirit Core takes the win, adding a whole new twist to the usual gameplay.
(2) Spirit Battlefield Dominating Tips
Coordinate with your team to control those spiritual nodes. Ichigo’s Getsuga Tensho is great for clearing minions and pressuring the enemy core, and Byakuya’s ultimate is perfect for wiping out clustered foes near the core.
