About
Honor of Kings is a 5v5 mobile MOBA featuring a roster of over 100 unique heroes across Tank, Fighter, Assassin, Mage, Marksman, and Support roles. Inspired by figures from Chinese mythology and history, each hero brings a distinct set of abilities and playstyles, creating a competitive landscape defined by strategic depth, coordination, and decisive team fights — all in pursuit of destroying the enemy base. At the highest level, victory in Honor of Kings is earned through lane control economic growth, and smart map pressure.
Teams battle for objectives, manage waves of enemy mobs, and contest the jungle to gain advantages that snowball into late-game dominance. As one of the largest mobile esports in the world, the Honor of Kings World Cup 2025 peaked at over 650,000 concurrent viewers, marking a major viewership milestone for the title, and with a $3 million prize pool on the line, the event stands as a showcase of elite competition and its passionate global fanbase.
