Winter has arrived in Honor of Kings, and with it comes the thrilling Snow Carnival event, running through various phases until January 8th. This seasonal celebration brings frosty events and new gameplay mechanics to the battlefield, allowing players to engage in limited-time challenges and earn exclusive rewards during these chilly weeks.
The Snow Carnival event unfolds in several engaging phases to keep the excitement high. Currently, the Glacial Twisters phase is active, challenging players to navigate through icy tornadoes that impact movement and positioning. Additionally, you can battle the Snow Overlord and Snow Tyrant for a chance to apply an extra freeze effect on victory.
Moving into phase two, starting December 12th, the Ice Path effect comes into play. Here, you can summon the Shadow Vanguard, who can freeze enemies in your path. Also introduced is the hero's Ice Burst skill, which unleashes an ice explosion, dealing area of effect (AoE) damage and slowing down opponents.
Phase three, launching on December 24th, introduces the River Sled event. By defeating the river sprite, you'll gain a sled that provides a speed boost when retreating. For those looking for a more relaxed experience, there are two casual modes to enjoy: Snowy Brawl and Snowy Race.
Beyond the intense battles, the Snow Carnival offers a variety of reward-focused events. The Zero-Cost Purchase event allows you to secure valuable items, including skins, through daily selections. Engaging in tasks such as Mutual Help and the Scoreboard Challenge offers the chance to earn exclusive cosmetics, like Liu Bei's Funky Toymaker skin and the coveted Everything Box.
In other news, Honor of Kings has unveiled a sneak peek of its 2025 esports calendar, promising a year filled with regional tournaments and global showdowns.
