MANILA, Philippines – Yi Xing has arrived in the Honor of Kings universe.

Yi Xing, now playable in-game, is a mage best suited when roaming the mid-lane and providing support in team fights where his powerful wide-area crowd control and burst damage abilities are invaluable.

He also works very effectively when partnered with Lu Bu, delivering high-impact attacks on enemies.

Here is the skillset by this powerful mage:

* Kiai: Yi Xing periodically becomes immune to lethal damage. His skills apply an "Anti-Qi" mark on enemy heroes upon hitting them, enhancing his own abilities.

* Joseki: Places a Weiqi counter at a designated location, granting vision of the area for three seconds and dealing magic damage.

* Atari: Deals magic damage to a designated area, then spreads to form a Weiqi formation. Enemies within the central area are pulled toward the center of the formation, dealing additional magic damage.

* Capture: Yi Xing creates an empty Weiqi board to trap enemy heroes.

The hero's lore could also be grasped through “The Way Of All Things,” an Honor of Kings episode of "Secret Level" — the animated anthology from Prime Video, released Thursday.

A viewing party was also held at Cinema '76 Cafe in Quezon City, also today, for the said episode written by JT Petty and based on the short story by S.L. Huang.
