Da Siming Honor of Kings new hero leaks: Release date, skills, and more

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that Honor of Kings is set to introduce its 90th hero, Da Siming. This new addition is an assassin/fighter, making him an excellent fit for the jungle role. Although official details about Da Siming will be revealed later by Honor of Kings, I’m excited to leak some intriguing information that you might find fascinating!

Da Siming release date

Starting this month, Da Siming, who was initially introduced in China’s Honor of Kings as King of Glory, is anticipated to make his global debut on the server on July 25. He follows Yao and Loong as the third hero released in July.

Da Siming skills

Da Siming boasts the agile ability to traverse various terrains, much like Cirrus, making him an effective choice for a jungle role due to this desirable trait.

Based on my analysis of the leaked skills description of Da Siming by Shadow HOK from the King of Glory test server in February 2024, I am genuinely intrigued by this upcoming hero. As someone who has spent countless hours playing and analyzing Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, I can’t help but be impressed by the depth and complexity that seems to be built into Da Siming’s abilities.

As a gamer, I want to remind you that the specific names and details of the skills may vary when the game’s hero officially releases on July 25. So keep that in mind as you explore the game.

Passive

Da Siming’s passive ability intertwines with his fundamental attack. Unlike other champions, pressing Da Siming’s attack button causes him to vibrate his weapon, inflicting consistent damage on the target instead of a single hit.

If I’m up against an enemy who stays within my reach for attacks, they’ll keep taking damage from me. The longer the duration, the more damage they’ll endure.

As a seasoned warrior who has faced many battles, I can tell you from my personal experience that after inflicting the maximum damage on an enemy, my weapon continues to deal harm from the get-go. However, if my foe happens to be beyond the reach of my basic attack, I’m sorry to say, I must start over and reset my damage output. The art of war is a constant dance between offense and defense, and every ounce of advantage counts.

Judging by his passive, he needs to stay and fight longer to deal maximum damage.

Skill 1: Way to Death

Da Siming’s Skill 1 creates a trail of destruction leading to the target, inflicting harm upon them. Initially, it appears as a standard damaging ability. However, an intriguing twist unfolds when this skill encounters a barrier such as a wall.

Should the ability come up against an insurmountable obstacle, Da Siming will construct a link to the afterlife in the form of a bridge. This bridge allows for seamless progression over any terrain. As Da Siming advances across the bridge, an added agility enhances his movement speed.

At the conclusion of this ability, a sword materializes in your hand. This temporary boost empowers Da Siming, amplifying his fundamental attack.

When I face an opponent with Da Siming, each of his basic attacks leaves a trace on their health meter. Should the damage I inflict reach that threshold, the target is lifted off the ground and dealt heavy true damage. This effect holds true for both enemy heroes and jungle creatures.

Skill 2: Silent Weapon

Da Siming’s skill number 2 generates a zone inflicting harm and reducing the target’s movement speed. If this ability strikes its mark, Da Siming will leave a tag on the target. With his subsequent fundamental strike, Da Siming deals extra damage to the labeled foe.

I’ve been there, feeling the heat of battle against hordes of enemies, each one threatening to bring me down. But with this skill at my disposal, every engagement becomes a little easier. It’s not just about taking out one foe at a time; no, this ability allows me to mark multiple targets and unleash my basic attack upon them all. The damage isn’t trivial either – it leaves quite an impression. But that’s not all! With each strike, I also receive a small boost to my health. It’s like getting a second wind right when I need it most. This skill is a game-changer, making my journeys through the land of peril feel less daunting and more victorious.

When Da Siming uses Skill 1 and Skill 2 at the same time, the animation speed of Skill 1 will be quicker. You can employ Skill 2 prior to Skill 1 to enhance its casting speed. Moreover, using Skill 2 on jungle monsters results in their being pushed back.

Ultimate: Master of Souls

From the heavens descends the powerful figure of Da Siming. For a span of 8 seconds, he undergoes an elevated condition. In this phase, he acquires a transient protective barrier.

Upon touching down, Da Siming pushes back opponents and inflicts harm. Should this ability strike an enemy hero, however, Da Siming generates a replica of the hero’s spirit to aid him in battles.

During his heightened abilities, the quantity of spirits that appear is contingent upon how many enemies Da Siming’s ultimate affects. If it strikes multiple opponents, several spirits will materialize. Each spirit inflicts damage equivalent to 30% of Da Siming’s physical attack. The duration of this enhanced state extends slightly when you eliminate an adversary within this timeframe.

How to obtain Da Siming

Da Siming is expected to be available in the shop right away on his release day. 

Based on my personal experience and observation of the game world, I’ve noticed that Da Siming is anticipated to join our team with a price tag of 13,888 Starstones. However, it’s important to mention that some other heroes in the game come with a heftier price, specifically those priced at 18,888 Starstones. This is not an uncommon occurrence in the realm of virtual worlds and gaming economies, where rare and powerful characters often demand higher investments from dedicated players.

Players have the option of purchasing him at reduced costs during weekly sales, or they can utilize a Trial Card to use him in games.
