Today sees the release of the Honor of Kings episode of Secret Level, the animated anthology from Prime Video. Written by JT Petty and based on the short story by S.L. Huang, “The Way Of All Things” introduces an all new character – Yi Xing – to the Honor of Kings universe and tells of his journey from learning the highly strategic game of Weiqi (known as Go outside China), as a child, to his mastery of the game and how he must use his skills to win the most important match of his life and save the city of Chang’an.

Head to Amazon Prime Video now to watch “The Way Of All Things”

Given Honor of Kings’ roots, the Secret Level team chose to adopt a Chinese aesthetic for the animation style and give “The Way Of All Things” a clear identity that would be appreciated by the community and an insight into Chinese culture for those who have not previously been exposed to the game. This is most clearly demonstrated in those scenes where Yi Xing is playing Weiqi.

All new Hero

Not only can players learn about Yi Xing’s backstory in “The Way Of All Things”, he is also available right now as the latest Hero to join the Honor of Kings roster. A Mage, Yi Xing is 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.

Players selecting Yi Xing will be able to utilise his four skills:

  • Kiai: Yi Xing periodically becomes immune to lethal damage. His skills apply a “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 introduction of Yi Xing brings strategic Weiqi influenced gameplay to Honor of Kings along with cosplay and engaging interactions with other Heroes from Yaotian society.
