Honor of Kings is dishing out a summer treat this month, and players are already logging in early: a free Liu Bei skin, plus a sneaky skill tweak for Guan Yu. Let’s break down the fun, from romantic skins to gameplay shifts.
Romantic Prelude Liu Bei: Skin Details & How to Get It
(1) Design That Sings Romance
Liu Bei’s new “Romantic Prelude” skin is all soft, chivalric vibes: wine-red cape with rose embroidery, silver armor etched with hearts, and a sword that glows pink. “Looks like he stepped out of a period drama,” a fan gushed on Reddit.
Skills get love upgrades too: “Righteous Charge” leaves floating rose petals, and “Unity Barrage” showers sparkles on hit. “Won a team fight ‘cause the enemy stopped to stare at the petals,” a mid-laner joked.
(2) How to Grab the Skin (It's Free!)
Starting July 24, do daily tasks for “Heart Tokens”:
Log in: 5 tokens
3 assists: 10 tokens
Win a match: 15 tokens
Redeem 200 tokens for the skin—easy, even for casuals. “Just doing dailies with friends. Free skin? Count me in,” a new player posted.
(3) Bonus Rewards
100 tokens = “Romantic Prelude” avatar frame; 150 tokens = “Rose Thrust” emote (Liu Bei tips his hat with a rose). “Gonna flex the frame with the skin,” a forum user shared.
Guan Yu’s Skill Refresh: A July Surprise
Alongside Liu Bei’s skin, Guan Yu’s getting a solid update. Here’s the deets:
(1) Passive Boost
His “Holy Aura” heals 5% max HP every 3s near allies—up from 3%. “Turned a losing fight by sticking with my squad. That extra heal kept me alive,” a top-laner said.
(2) Ultimate Revamp
“Red Hare Charge” now smashes enemy shields on impact. “Nuked a full-shield ADC in one hit. Never sleep on a charging horse,” a streamer laughed.
(3) Playstyle Shifts
Players are adapting: “Guan Yu’s more of a team fighter now. I’m grouping up instead of solo ganking,” a Grandmaster noted.
Community Reacts & Pro Tips
(1) Skin Hype
Forums are full of screenshots: “Just got Liu Bei’s skin—those petals feel like they make skills faster,” one user said (placebo, but we get it).
(2) Guan Yu Love
“His passive heal? Game-changer for late pushes. My squad’s running double tanks now,” a coach shared.
(3) Task Hacks
“Grind AI matches for assists—way easier than ranked. Got 100 tokens in two hours,” a casual player advised.
July in HOK blends style and strategy. Chase Liu Bei’s skin, master Guan Yu’s heals—plenty to dive into. Log in, grab tokens, let the fun begin.
