The big Season 9 update for Honor of Kings – Time for Miracles is finally here after the previous season ended in less than two months. This update is considered massive due to the reform in hero balancing as every single hero has been adjusted in this patch which directly leads to big changes in the meta, new strategies to explore and a fresh experience for all players, whether new or old.

New Hero – Feyd

Feyd, also known as the Son of Jade City, is a highly mobile assassin with a unique skill set that combines dashing vision and damage output. He also has incredible mobility as he can walk on walls and terrain. He can burst down targets in an instant and is now officially available in the game and can be purchased from the shop.

New Skin

Ming’s “Timeless Radiance” skin can now be obtained by participating in the Bargain event that will last until 30th March 2025.

Gorge Optimizations and Adjustments

A lot of changes and adjustments have been made to the game to enhance your gameplay experience and some of them are listed below:

• A one-way door has been added in the jungle before a match reaches 4 minutes.
• The terrain has also been changed and the number of monsters has been adjusted
• The space Sprites starting gold is now increased to 75.

Hero Rebalancing

With the massive patch update, the base stats of all heroes have been adjusted to make each hero more in line with their class position. All crowd control effects have been updated to make the battle more exciting. At the same time, the range of long-range weapons has also increased.

Farm Lane Heroes

Some heroes have received new mechanic changes to their skills improving their scaling and overall play style. The main adjustments can be seen with heroes like Consort Yu whose second skill mechanic has been adjusted and using her second skill now doubles her passive attack speed making her attack faster in fights. In addition to that, Yaria can now ride his dragon, giving him a unique mobility mechanic.

Shuoyue’s passive damage now scales with physical attack but it can no longer crit which changes his overall build and play style.

Mid Lane Heroes

These heroes have received attack range standardization to match their role alongside balance tweaks to their skills and scaling for smoother gameplay and strategic diversity.

The basic attack of Mozi has increased to 500 with slower attack intervals. Yuhuan’s passive healing now scales with max health, emphasizing support builds over burst damage. The ultimate cooldown of Xiao Qiao has been reduced in the early game by 7 seconds but scales slower.

Junglers

Season 9 balanced changes for Jungler Heroes, focusing on refining damage scaling, cooldown efficiency, and survivability to balance early-game pressure and late-game impact. The passive damage of Musashi against low-health targets has been buffed along with the reduction in ultimate skill-based damage of Sima Yi. The second skill-based damage has been massively increased for Ukyo Tachibana.

Clash Lane Heroes

They have been tuned to balance tackiness, sustain, and damage scaling with a focus on late-game viability and build diversity. Mayene’s overall skills got some improvements on her early game damage along with improved synergy between skill combos that enables deep exploration of combo possibilities. Dun’s passive cooldown has been reduced by 5 seconds and starts after the effect ends.

Roamer Heroes

Roamers received attack range standardization for safer zoning and poke alongside tweaks to sustain scaling and crowd control efficiency and this can be best explained by Zia who has received a mechanics upgrade making him even more valuable as a roaming support. His attack range has also been increased by 50, allowing him to poke enemies from a safer distance.

Conclusion

This was a wrap up on this massive update. Tweaks like new jungle monster lane adjustments and the one-way path near firebeaks area make early game rotation in jungle control even more important so some fresh strategies in ranked can be expected. This season is all about refining game play as farming is more rewarding and attack ranges are more standardized.
