New Hero – Ziya
Ziya, joins the Honor of Kings roster on August 20. He is a Mage and a great pick for newcomers.
Three key reasons to select Ziya
● Unleash long range attacks from a safe distance
● If the enemy dies within a couple of seconds after Ziya deals damage he receives extra EXP
● Upon reaching Level 15, his sanctification ability provides a buff to a teammate, increasing their max level limit to 25
Ziya’a background story
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 in the process.
He then served as their secret leader, selecting new members at the superbeings’ behest. 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, the Dark Master Diqun seeks to once more invade the mortal world. Hearing this, Ziya could not sit idly by. The ancient Sanctifier broke out of his imprisonment, determined to protect the world in his own way.
