Honor of Kings Lian Po Lucha Libre skin: Release date and more

The Honor of Kings Lian Po Lucha Libre skin will arrive in the Lian Po skin sub-event occurring as a part of the Honor of Kings All-Star Fighters event. This sub-event, named Charge Ahead, will begin on August 16, 2024, and will continue till August 30, 2024.

During this sub-event, players will have to select Mayene, Lian Po, or Lam and fight against the AFO (All-Star Fighters Open) opponents. While they can complete Training Missions to level up their hero to increase health and other attributes, they must win all the fights to get the Lucha Libre skin for Lian Po in Honor of Kings.

The official video posted on the Honor of Kings X page shared a lore for this new skin. Per the caption, Lian Po has put on the Lucha Libre mask and joined the underground wrestling world to gather enough money for his daughter's treatment.

Honor of Kings Lian Po Lucha Libre skin animation

In the hall animation, Lian Po smashes his fists against each other, and pink soft toy-like gloves appear on both of his hands. He jumps into the fighting ring saying "This mask reminds me of why I fight," while wearing a white T-shirt, Denim Jeans, and a wrestling champion's belt wrapped around his waist.

During Lian Po's Basic Attacks, a blue trailing effect follows the movement of his punches and this effect fades out as little yellow stars appear at the end.

Similarly, when using his passive skill (Warrior's Soul) the trailing effect returns and the tiny yellow stars appear at every successful blow delivered to the enemy.

The effect doesn't change much when using Lian Po's first skill (Burst RAM) to dash toward the target direction. It shows the blue trailing effect following his movement, while yellow stars appear upon knocking the enemy airborne.

However, upon using the second skill (Magma blast) while wearing the Lian Po Lucha Libre skin, the face of a pink-colored angry axolotl appears at the center of the area of effect after the smash. Then, when Lian Po jumps in the air and smashes the ground again on his way down, a nuclear blast-like animation emerges from the face of that axolotl.

Finally, when using Lian Po's ultimate, the hero jumps three times in the air, and with each landing, words like "Pow" and "Bang" emerge from the area of effect in typical comic book style. After the third jump, a wrestling ring also appears around the hero.
