Bountiful rewards, new Heroes, skins await those joining the celebrations, plus latest on 2024 Open Series Split 1
Running until May 24, this year’s High 5 Festival promises to be the biggest to date, with players from Turkey plus those from the MENA and CIS regions and several SEA countries coming together with those from Brazil to participate in events and earn rewards aplenty.
Three new Heroes – Yuhuan, Erin and Nezha join the festivities
The musical Mage Yuhuan arrived in Honor of Kings on May 3, and depending on the tune she plays can protect teammates or attack enemies. Yuhuan’s Ultra makes her untargetable so she can easily avoid taking damage.
Available from May 14, the Elf Princess Erin is an agile Marksman who utilizes her Mage skills to launch her unique attacks. Erin is at one with the forest and her Ultra showers laurel leaves on the enemy.
Reborn in fire, the rebellious Nezha joins the roster on May 29. A Fighter, Nezha roams the lanes on his flaming wheels allowing him to swiftly provide support where needed, dealing damage with his trusty spear.
