Huge Update 13/8 part 1

Dear Summoner, in order to increase the stability of the version, we plan to shut down the "Honor of Kings" Experience Server from August 12th 12:45-00:30 on August 13th, 2022. The Experience Server are going to be closed at 12:15 August 12th, 2022. After the Experience Server is updated, you can open the King of Glory - Early Access to automatically update directly!

A. Jungle area optimization

At present, the jungle position is constantly screening high-level competitive players, and there are relatively few players who are willing to play as the jungler. We hope to optimize the jungle area, increase the lower limit of the jungle position while retaining the upper limit, provide a guaranteed development path, improve the protection of the jungle area, and explore a low-pressure jungle method.

B. Early gold improvement in jungle areas

Due to the limitation of the total amount of resources in the wild area, junglers need to find ways to obtain additional gold from other lane during the spawning interval of wild monsters. For the first 4 minutes of development and laning period, we hope that players in each position can have their own relatively fixed resource fields. Therefore, we appropriately increased the jungle gold reward in the early stage (while reducing the dynamic growth rate of the jungle gold), hoping to reduce the dependence of the early jungle development on the net worth.

Basic gold adjustment of monsters: 100% → 107.1%

Basic gold of red and blue buff monsters: 70 → 75

Basic gold of each pit of small monsters: 56 → 60

The growth rate is slightly reduced over time, and after 12 minutes, the gold will be as same as official server.

C. Jungle monsters' refresh rate increased

At the same time, we have accelerated the refresh frequency of wild monsters, increased the total amount of resources in the wild area, and also facilitated the stacking of jungle knives faster, providing more development space for jungle players.

Red Buff & Blue Buff refresh time: 95 seconds → 90 seconds

Red Buff & Blue Buff Duration: 75 seconds → 70 seconds

Other monsters refresh time: 75 seconds → 70 seconds

D. Jungle monsters' HP decreased

Appropriately lowered the HP of wild monsters to improve the speed at which other branch heroes acquire resources in the wild, which to a certain extent contributes to the diversity of resource allocation in the lineup. At the same time, in order to prevent the wild core from developing too fast after the adjustment of the economy of the wild area, the refresh rate and the blood volume, the damage bonus ratio of the jungler knife has been reduced accordingly. It is hoped that the wild core's brushing speed will decrease slightly, but the economic benefit obtained in a single time will be higher, and the comprehensive development speed will be the same as that of the official server.

Minion Base HP: 100% → 88%

Red Buff & Blue Buff Base HP: 100% → 89.5% (6700 → 6000)

Tyrant/Lord Base HP: 100% → 92%

E. Wilderness protection improvement

The improvement of the monster economy in the early stage and the acceleration of the refresh frequency of the wild area will increase the willingness to invade and the income in the early stage. In order to ensure the guaranteed experience of the jungler, and to ensure that the speed of the snowball of the dominant party will not be further improved after this adjustment, it will be increased accordingly. The strength of the protection of the wild area is to help the jungler go through the early development period more smoothly.

We have adjusted wild area protection from the following four aspects:

1. The Fire Smite items (Sophisticated Shortblade/Patrol Axe/Giant's Grip/Dragon Scale/Flaming Wrath) will no longer have no vision area protection for the first 4 minutes, and the rules of all jungle knives remain the same.

2. In the first 4 minutes, the protection value of elves in the wild area has been increased: 10% → 15%.

3. Optimization of the original trial rules: The team's gold catch-up coefficient has been added to the original trial. When the gold of both sides exceeds a certain range (growth over time), the gold obtained by the winning side defeating the hero is reduced by 10%, and the losing side is increased by 10%. At the same time, the experience buff coefficients under different original trial levels have been adjusted to help the losing side catch up faster when ending the winning side.

4. Optimization of the Buff refresh prompt rule: If our Buff is killed by an enemy hero, our hero can't get the vision of the buff, but the Buff vision is refreshed when going in the middle lane. Then when the Buff is about to refresh, we can see together with the enemy Buff countdown reading bar (Only the enemy can get countdown information on the official server).

F. The refresh time of The Spirit of the River in the midlane has been adjusted

The original intention of the design of the middle lane is to provide a side lane-like laning point in the middle lane, but the high gold and experience gains make it a target for both junglers at the same time. This sets a strong check on the jungler hero's jungling speed and early-stage combat ability. At the same time, the jungler will also bear the risk of being killed or invaded by the enemy jungler due to scrambles. We have increased the first refresh time of The Spirit of the River in the middle lane from 60 seconds to 30 seconds. We hope that after the adjustment, The Spirit of the River in the middle lane will be more contested in the middle lane. We will add this part of the reduced resources to the gold of the jungle itself. Whether the jungler continues to snatch or develops smoothly depends on one's own choice.

The refresh time of The Spirit of the River: 60 seconds → 30 seconds, the refresh rate and gold are unchanged, the experience is adjusted to be the same as The Spirit of the River in the side lane.

G. Adjustment of the function positioning of the jungle item

For a long time, we have not been so clear about the positioning of the two jungle item, Giant's Grip and Flaming Wrath, which also leads to the fact that in different versions, these two jungle item are often substitutes for the upper and lower positions. Their adjustment is also difficult to take into account the jungle and side players at the same time, and it is difficult to balance. Therefore, in this adjustment, we hope to re-organize the functional positioning of the jungler, and split their characteristic positioning, so that when the subsequent adjustment is aimed at a certain group, it can try not to affect the players of other groups.

Other rule adjustments for the jungler:

1. After the jungle item is sold and replaced with another jungle item, the number of layers needs to be re-stacked (the same type of jungle item can still inherit the number of layers, such as selling the Giant's Grip and replacing it with a Patrol axe or Giant's Grip)

2. The passive effect of Jungle Items-Hunting: "Killing jungle monsters will get an additional 30% experience and 20% gold coins" and passive effect of Support Items-Guerilla will not overlap (only for the case of using jungle item and support item at the same time, other situations are completely the same as the official server consistently).

H. Overlord Lane Teleportation Mechanism Optimization

[Original Magic Array] The original design goal is to solve the problems of difficult support and low participation rate in team battles in the early and mid game of the Overlord Lane to a certain extent, and to provide a different confrontation experience for the Overlord Lane under the guidance of the all-star thinking. In the verification of multiple versions of the official server, we found that although the existence of the [Original Magic Array] solved some problems, there were also problems of insufficient utilization and effectiveness. On this basis, we made an optimization and adjustment in the last version of the experience server around the Overlord Lane array, and replaced the teleportation array with a new version of the "Teleportation Flower". After defeating the "Teleportation Flower", you can obtain a one-time teleportation skill , which can be used anytime and anywhere during the cooldown of the skill, and teleports to the original drop point near the Tyrant. In the process of verification, we found that only keeping the "Teleportation Flower" may widen the experience gap between the two sides of the Overlord Lane. On the whole, the feeling of such low confrontation and high income, as well as "zero sum" or even "negative sum", the gaming experience is not something we encourage.

Based on the above background, we have made adjustments around the Overlord Lane array, while retaining the Teleportation Flower and Teleportation Array, in order to optimize the confrontation experience and provide basic choices on the basis of improving the effectiveness and utilization of teleportation, thereby improving the Overlord Lane players' overall gaming experience.

(The version in the development process does not represent the final version)

Specific adjustments

• Overlord Lane will retain the Teleportation Array and the "Teleportation Flower".

• Players destroy the "Teleportation Flower" to obtain a one-time teleportation skill, which can be used anytime and anywhere within 120 seconds.

• "Teleportation Flower" and Teleportation Array are activated at the same time at the beginning of 2 minutes, and the teleportation skills of "Teleportation Flower" and Teleportation Array share the Cooldown (Teleportation Array cannot be used within 120 seconds after using the teleportation skill of Teleportation Flower).

Other details

• The location of the teleportation remains unchanged, and it is still near the Tyrant's position in the river channel of the Tyrant Lane.

• "Teleportation Flower" as an building unit (same type as the defense tower), can only be damaged by normal attacks, and will not be damaged by skills and talent.

• The teleportation skill obtained by destroying the "Teleportation Flower" is a one-time skill (disappears after being interrupted or successfully used).

• 10 minutes after the game started, the Overlord Lane array will be closed, the "Teleportation Flower" will disappear, and it will no longer be refreshed.

(The name of "Teleportation Flower" is only temporary and not final)

I. Tower optimization

The Tower's attack speed is too slow, which will cause some unexpected situations when everyone is attacked by the Tower. This time, based on the overall ability of the Tower, the Tower's attack speed and attack power will be adjusted to a certain extent. The attack frequency is more in line with everyone's expectations, while not affecting the overall rhythm of highland operations.

Tower Adjustment:

Attack interval: 1.6 seconds → 1.2 seconds

Attack damage: 550 → 420

J. Epic Monsters optimization

Lord/Tyrant:

Disappear at: 10 minutes → 9 minutes and 30 seconds

Added exit animation: Overlord, Tyrant, Shadow Overlord, and Shadow Tyrant will play new animations when they disappear at 9:30 and 19:30

Shadow Overlord:

Summoned Vanguard and Shadow Vanguard: At 10 minutes, HP decreased by 20% and 10% respectively, and the growth rate increased accordingly. After 15 minutes, HP was exactly the same as before the adjustment.

Shadow Tyrant:

Base HP: 24700 → 22200 (synchronized to the same HP as Shadow Overlord)

The effect of Buff [Shadow Tyrant's Landing] obtained by killing [Shadow Tyrant] after 10 minutes:

• Damage to non-hero units: 60(+30*Hero level) → 100(+50*Hero level)

• Increase movement speed by 5% when out of combat

Taiyi Zenren (TeeMee)

We hope that more players can feel the unique charm of "Alchemy" and "Frying Furnace" of this Alchemist Master. Therefore, in this version, we have optimized the process gain attributes and refreshed operation logic of Taiyi's skills, reducing the the redundant operation pressure makes the skill process gain more stable and perceptible, allowing players to focus more on their own positioning. We have added mobile casting to the second skill, and greatly optimized the hit judgment and feel to solve the previous second skill. The difficulty of hitting is too high, and when you miss it, it stops in place, resulting in a frustrating experience of not being able to catch up with the enemy. We have observed that Taiyi's Ultimate has a harsh release timing for most players, so the CD return when the resurrection is unsuccessful is added to the ultimate move as a guarantee. Taiyi's passive "Golden Sparkle" adds gold coins to his teammates is his most unique feature, but at present neither Taiyi nor his teammates can clearly see the total gold coin income brought by the passive, we have added a buff icon for the passive display, both Taiyi and teammates can click on the buff icon to view the total amount of the current gold coins increase, improving the perceptibility of Taiyi's passive.

A. New "Skill Picture-in-Picture"

We have observed that players need to observe real-time footage in multiple areas when casting certain abilities. Therefore, in order to facilitate players' observation, a "skill picture-in-picture" function has been added in a single game: when players release some skills that take effect off-screen, a small window to help observation is automatically triggered.

B. Teleportation skills, default camera position optimization

We found that when players release the teleportation skills, the need to observe the end position of the skill is much greater than the need to observe their own position. Therefore, when the player uses teleportation skills, the camera will be positioned at the end position by default to optimize the player's visual experience when casting spells.

C. "Camera Follow Skill" function optimization

In the previous version, in order to facilitate players aiming at long-range skills, the "Camera Follow Skill" function was opened. However, we found that the opening function setting may interfere with the player's operation, resulting in a low opening rate of this function. Therefore, in this version, we have greatly optimized the "reasonableness" and "usability" of this function, in order to look forward to Bring a more comfortable experience to players.

Optimized the "Camera Follow Skill" function in a brief: When the player drags the skill wheel to aim, if the skill indicator is beyond the screen range, the camera will automatically shift to the aiming direction.

Optimization 1:

The triggering method of lens shift is more reasonable, unnecessary lens shift is reduced, and the skill release experience is smoother

Optimization 2:

Customize the lens offset parameters for each skill individually, making the experience more comfortable

Optimization 3:

The experience is more complete, covering all hero skills.

D. Lu Bu's Ultimate Optimization

We found that in the process of releasing his ultimate, Lu Bu could easily lose target information by aiming downwards. In response to this problem, we optimized the usability of Lu Bu's ultimate.

E. Liu Bang's Ultimate Optimization

We found that in the process of releasing the ultimate move, Liu Bang released the second skill again, and the position of the indicator did not match the actual casting position. In response to the above problems, we have optimized it so that during Liu Bang's release of the ultimate, the indicator will appear directly from the end position of the ultimate move when he releases the second skill, so that what you see is what you get.

F. Shadow Vanguard Button Release Optimization

In order to make it easier for players to choose any branch to release the Shadow Vanguard, we have optimized the release logic of the Shadow Vanguard button on the basis of retaining the existing operations such as short-pressing to release the Shadow Vanguard on the branch where the player is located.

G. Mechanism feature information performance optimization

There are a lot of mechanisms and features in Kings Canyon, whether it is a battlefield or a hero, a considerable part of which is very important and requires players to be able to observe clearly so that they can make correct operations and decisions. However, we found that some of the relatively important mechanisms of many heroes were not displayed in a suitable way, which not only hindered the learning and mastery of hero skills, but also caused the opponents to be difficult to pay attention to. These mechanisms cannot make the correct coping behavior.

Based on the above background, we decided to make a series of corresponding optimization adjustments in this update. Including, for some heroes, the casting timing bar that supplements the effect of their key skills; the icon presentation that simplifies the increase and decrease of attributes; and for some heroes, the information presentation form that beautifies or supplements some key mechanisms and characteristics (mainly for various relatively important the stacking and timing mechanism). It is hoped that through these optimizations, players can more easily learn and master the skills of the heroes they use, and at the same time, they can better interact and fight with other players. Optimization adjustments include the following 4 items:

1. Added skill casting timing bar

In order to allow players to better grasp the effective duration of skills, we have added timing bar tips to some heroes' continuous skills.

Applied skills:

Cao Cao (Ultimate), Kai (Ultimate), Dian Wei (Ultimate), Cheng Yaojin (Ultimate), Zhuang Zhou (Ultimate), Li Xin (Skill 3), Shangguan Waner (Ultimate), Lao Fuzi (Skill 2), Sun Wukong (Skill 2), Luban No. 7 (enhanced basic attacks).

2. Status Icon optimization

In order to allow players to better grasp the buffs or debuffs of hero skills, we have optimized the style of attribute icons to make them clearer and more obvious. At the same time, we will apply attribute icons to more hero skills, and allow the enemy and allies to see the attribute icons, so as to help players better understand the effect of hero skills and improve the clarity of confrontation.

Applied heroes:

Ming Shiyin, Cao Cao, Li Bai, Huang Zhong, Kai, Bodhidharma, Sun Ce, Niu Mo, Li Bai, Xiang Yu, Lao Master, Han Xin, Hua Mulan, Li Xin, Dunshan, Meng Tian, ​​Charlotte, Mi month and so on.

3. Passive Stack optimization

In order to allow players to better grasp the mechanics and skills of heroes, we have carried out an overall overhaul and optimization of the characteristic bar.

Optimization 1: Optimization of art performance

We have optimized the color and style of the feature bar, involving heroes: Di Renjie, Huang Zhong, Baili Shouyue, Irene, Goya, Han Xin, King Lanling, Mozi, Yunying, Shiranuiwu, Wu Zetian, Bodhidharma , Liu Bei et al.

Optimization 2: Add a countdown function in the feature bar

A countdown function has been added to the feature bar, which is convenient for players to grasp the duration of the mechanism, involving heroes: Hou Yi, Cao Cao.

Optimization 3: Added feature bars for some heroes

In order to allow players to better grasp the hero mechanism, some heroes have added characteristic bars, such as Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang, Li Bai, Ma Chao, etc.
