Furthermore, this unit will get extra HP if the enemy dies within a few seconds after Ziya deals damage. Therefore, it seems like entering teamfights and assisting your teammates will help the hero upgrade skills faster.

Once Ziya reaches level 15, he will also be able to provide a buff to one of his teammates using the Sanctification ability, increasing their maximum level to level 25.

The new hero will arrive on August 20, 2024, as per the official Press Release.

A small backstory for Ziya ahead of his arrival in HoK

For the good of all humanity, Ziya set out with his best friend, Fuzi, on the Journey of Divinity, becoming the first of the Enforcers. He then served as their secret leader, selecting new members after being asked to do so by the super beings. But the good times did not last.

To defeat the Dark Master, he sacrificed the greater part of his divine power, and later on, his willful nature led his disciple, Wu Zetian, to seal him away. However, during his captivity, Ziya achieved enlightenment and recovered his divine power.

Now, Dark Master Diqun seeks to once more invade the mortal world. Hearing this, Ziya could not sit idly. The ancient Sanctifier broke out of his imprisonment, determined to protect the world in his own way.
