A new Secret Level episode just dropped today and it’s a surprising feature! Today marks the release of the Honor of Kings episode of Secret Level on Prime Video. The episode was written by JT Petty and it’s based on the short story by S.L. Huang, “The Way Of All Things.” It introduces an exciting new character, Yi Xing, to the Honor of Kings universe. The episode follows Yi Xing’s story from learning the strategic game of Weiqi (also known as Go) as a child, to mastering it and using his skills to win the most critical match of his life, ultimately saving the city of Chang’an.

Head over to Amazon Prime Video to watch “The Way Of All Things” now. You can also watch the hero trailer here.

Staying true to Honor of Kings’ roots, the Secret Level team adopted a Chinese aesthetic for the animation style. It gives “The Way Of All Things” a distinctive identity that both the community and new fans will enjoy. It provides a glimpse into Chinese culture, particularly highlighted in the scenes where Yi Xing plays Weiqi.

New Story and New Hero

In addition to exploring Yi Xing’s backstory in “The Way Of All Things,” players can now experience him as the latest hero to join the Honor of Kings roster. As a Mage, Yi Xing excels in the mid-lane, providing crucial support in team fights with his powerful wide-area crowd control and burst damage abilities. He pairs especially well with Lu Bu, delivering high-impact attacks on enemies. Here’s a basic rundown of his kit for anyone curious!

Players locking in Yi Xing can utilize his four skills:

• Kiai: Yi Xing periodically becomes immune to lethal damage. His skills apply an “Anti-Qi” mark on enemy heroes upon hitting them, enhancing his own abilities.
• Joseki: Places a Weiqi counter at a designated location, granting vision of the area for three seconds and dealing magic damage.
• Atari: Deals magic damage to a designated area, then spreads to form a Weiqi formation. Enemies within the central area are pulled toward the center, dealing additional magic damage.
• Capture: Yi Xing creates an empty Weiqi board to trap enemy heroes.

The introduction of Yi Xing brings a fresh, strategic Weiqi-influenced gameplay dynamic to Honor of Kings, along with engaging interactions with other heroes from the Yaotian society.

Honor of Kings is one of the many exciting games to be featured on Secret Level so keep your eyes peeled and check it out; hopefully, starting with the Honor of Kings episode first!
