Recently, the popular mobile game “Honor of Kings” has embarked on an ambitious journey of continuous updates. These updates go beyond just refining the software’s inner workings; they also address and rectify various issues that players have encountered. Furthermore, these updates bring forth a dazzling array of new character skins, enhancing the gaming experience. Even more noteworthy is that “Honor of Kings” successfully made its mark on the global stage by hosting esports competitions at the prestigious Asian Games. This groundbreaking event provided a platform for players and enthusiasts to showcase their skills and passion for competitive gaming. It served as a significant milestone in raising awareness about esports and its legitimacy as a mainstream form of entertainment and competition.

The brand-new inscription system
Inscriptions in the game are roughly divided into blue inscriptions, green inscriptions, and red inscriptions, each inscription can be equipped with 10 inscriptions, and the highest level of a single inscription is 5. Players can get a full set of Level 1 inscriptions for free from the start, and in the process of obtaining advanced inscriptions, there is no need to buy or raffle inscriptions for individual levels as in earlier versions, but only need to consume inscriptions to continuously upgrade the lower inscriptions. Many players complained that it was too difficult to collect the inscriptions, with all diamonds and gold being used to extract the inscriptions, but the number of Level 5 inscriptions collected was still far from enough. Finally, “Honor of King” officially announced plans to fully upgrade the inscription system. First of all, the inscription system upgrade is a “loss” for older players who have collected all Level 5 inscriptions. Because the official “credit system” will increase the “inscription privilege”, as long as the player with no bad record can use the full set of Level 5 inscriptions for free, which is better for new players, but less friendly for older players who have toiled for years to collect the fragments of the inscription. Before the update, in the preparation phase, many players would choose different hero costumes and inscriptions depending on the lineup of enemies, which was very time-consuming; After this adjustment, each hero’s three inscription systems are directly matched to the main mounting system, allowing players to easily choose between installation and inscription matching with one click.

New relationship system
Relationships have more possibilities now. Three new relationship kinds are introduced in the upcoming season: brother and sister. When the prerequisites for intimacy are met, participants will be notified via the chat channels and secret pages of the two milestone nodes. The new temporary friend method in the new season will allow you to connect with additional people on a regular basis. When players join up with friends to open the black, if there is a pleasant interaction, such as mutual praise, both sides will appear on the other party’s team list for a period of time, during which you can team up to open the black invitation and other behaviors. After a specific length of time, if no gang hacking or in-game friends are added, both parties are removed from each other's friend list.

Anti-cheat system
“Honor of Kings” leaves so much to be desired, and the game itself bears a strong resemblance. In less than two years, the user scale of “Honor of Kings” reached 201 million people, the average daily active users reached 54.128 million, and the average daily active users reached 100 million by 2020, according to Tencent Game Tianmei Studio. Set a new daily active user record for mobile games. As a developer and operator of online games, I have strictly prohibited the use of plug-ins. The “Honor of Kings” operation team, like most online game operation teams, will release a notice almost every week, notifying the punishment specifics of some external user accounts. This collection of methods for plug-in users was discovered by early domestic online gaming agents, who discovered that by alarming and rewarding the masses for reporting the plug-in makers, they could not entirely defeat the plug-in, and then summarized the experience formed. Although external hangers cannot be eradicated, their quantity can be kept low, ensuring that most players will not experience external hangers in most circumstances.
