Honor of Kings Season 7 patch notes: Battlefield changes

Level Infinite has made three changes to the Hero's Gorge in Honor of Kings Season 7. Here are the details:

  • Minions in all lanes will be more potent after players destroy all opponents' high-ground towers. After the update, the minion waves will change to Melee Super Minion, Ranged Super Minion, and Cannon instead of standard Melee Super Minion, Melee Minion, and Ranged. The new Ranged Super Minion will have 3,000 Health, 300 Basic Attack, and 300 Magical Attack. However, the gold obtained by slaying it remains the same as the Ranged Minions.
  • Killing Firehawk in Farm Lane grants an equal amount of gold to all teammates. Defeating it gives a base reward of 40 gold and 80 EXP. Additionally, it rewards 100 gold to the entire team, split evenly among the team members.
  • A new unit, Space Sprite, will be available in Clash Lane’s teleportation portal. The teleportation portal will activate only after slaying the Space Sprite. Killing it rewards 40 Gold and 50 EXP. The sprite will spawn only once per match.

New theme modes

In addition to the above changes, new theme modes will be available in the Hero’s Gorge as a limited-time game mode.

The first theme is Spirit of the Gorge, available from September 25, 2024, to October 17, 2024. In this theme mode, players can use a new Common Skill, Prison Sprite.

Prison Sprite has a cooldown period of 90 seconds. It slows enemies down by 75% and imprisons those within a four-meter range.

Prison Sprite won’t follow enemies and lasts seven seconds. It will also immobilize enemies who stay within its range for two seconds. Immobilized enemies cannot move and use Flash or movement skills. However, they can use their Basic Attacks or skills.

Prison Sprite can imprison an enemy only once, and the effects of multiple sprites from the same team won’t stack.

A new mechanic, Vision Sprite, will also be available as a Theme mode from October 17, 2024, to October 31, 2024. Level Infinite will reveal the details of Vision Sprite in the future.
