Winter has arrived in Honor of Kings with the launch of the Snow Carnival, bringing a series of frosty events and new mechanics for players to enjoy over the coming weeks. From now until January 8th, immerse yourself in seasonal festivities on the battlefield, participate in limited-time challenges, and earn exclusive rewards as the cold sets in.
Honor of Kings’ Snow Carnival event unfolds in different phases to keep the excitement going. Currently, the Glacial Twisters event is live, challenging you to navigate icy tornadoes that affect movement and positioning. Additionally, you can take on the Snow Overlord and Snow Tyrant, which rewards you with an extra freeze effect upon victory.
Moving into phase two, starting December 12th, the Ice Path effect becomes available. You'll be able to summon the Shadow Vanguard, capable of freezing enemies in your path. Alongside this, the hero’s Ice Burst skill will be active, triggering an ice explosion that deals area-of-effect damage and applies a slow effect to opponents.
Finally, phase three introduces the River Sled event, running from December 24th. Defeating the river sprite will grant you a sled that provides a speed boost during retreats. For a lighter experience, enjoy two casual modes: Snowy Brawl and Snowy Race.
