Short Answer
You do not pick a hero — you create a custom protagonist and channel heroes from the Honor of Kings universe through a resonance system, swapping their combat styles in battle. The complete English roster is not confirmed; this page currently documents the Child of the Primal Flow (Player), Sun Shangxiang, Jialuo, Wang Zhaojun, Kai, Hua Mulan, Leng Chun, Luban Master, Sun Bin, Meng Ya, Xi Shi, Dongfang Yao, Longya, and Feihan from user-captured China-server references.

Documented hero files
Only characters visible in supplied China-server material are listed here.
元流之子（玩家）
Child of the Primal Flow (Player)
Assault(Burst DPS)
A new student of Jixia Academy, bereft of all memory of the past—the story's protagonist, a traveler of the world, and the player's own avatar.
孙尚香
Sun Shangxiang
Assault(Burst DPS)
A Princess of Wu and martial prodigy, she moves with quick precision and a keen tactical eye—catching an enemy's opening amid the thunder of gunfire. Unfazed by courtly intrigue, the Jewel of Jiang Commandery would rather let cannon fire speak for her.
伽罗
Jialuo
Assault(Burst DPS)
Guardian of the Thousand Caves. Chronicler of Civilization. A wanderer devoted to dispelling ignorance, she bears the Demon-Bane Bow to keep the realm in peace.
王昭君
Wang Zhaojun
Support(Healer / Buffer / Control)
Once a princess of Chang'an, sent to the Wolf Banner in marriage, she became the icebound goddess who keeps watch over the Northern Wastes. Gentle in bearing yet steadfast in resolve, she shields the hard-won peace of the frontier.
铠
Kai
Vanguard(Tank / Bruiser)
Once the eldest son of a coastal house, Kai inherited the power of a demonic armor and fled home to escape the fate closing around him. Yet the memory of what it means to protect remains his anchor. Now, among the Great Wall defenders, he meets destiny as a mortal—and refuses to yield.
花木兰
Hua Mulan
Vanguard(Tank / Bruiser)
Commander of the Great Wall defenders, she follows neither glory nor prey, but justice. Lightblade swiftness and Heavyblade resolve are two expressions of the same vow: to stand watch where the realm needs her most.
Lightblade Form
Heavyblade Form
Shared Ultimate
冷春
Leng Chun
Vanguard(Tank / Bruiser)
Jixia Academy's school physician, composed in manner and free in spirit. An otherworldly eye glints beneath her monocle, while an old sealblade bears the mark of the Wind Song. The past she carries into the Academy remains unwritten.
Physician Form
Mosha Form
Shared Ultimate
鲁班大师
Luban Master
Support(Healer / Buffer / Control)
The Heart of the Star Team, and a true master of mechanisms. He fashions tenderness from cold machinery, and shapes the future from blueprints of truth.
孙膑
Sun Bin
Support(Healer / Buffer / Control)
The beloved of the Star Team, he longs to uncover the mysteries of the Gate of Time and Space—a bright young soul who carves time itself with sheer will.
蒙犽
Meng Ya
Assault(Burst DPS)
The Star Team’s resident hothead and firecracker, Meng Ya is a master cannonmaker. Like the cannon he builds, his temper is liable to ignite without a spark.
西施
Xi Shi
Support(Healer / Buffer / Control)
The shining face of the Star Team, a gifted treasure hunter, and a treasure in her own right. More than any rare find, she longs for a heart that cherishes her.
东方曜
Dongfang Yao
Assault(Burst DPS)
Captain of the Star Team and heir to the power of the stars. To protect his companions, he takes on every responsibility he can—and never stops striving to become worthy of it.
龙牙
Longya
Support(Healer / Buffer / Control)
A student of Jixia Academy and heir to a master artisan of the Zhuyun Order. Though she looks young, Longya is a gifted weaponsmith—skilled, perceptive, and fiercely capable. Hot-tempered and often saying the opposite of what she feels, she becomes all focus in battle, lifting her blazing mechanism hammer to send any foe crashing into the incandescent earth.
妃寒
Feihan
Assault(Burst DPS)
A student of Jixia Academy from the Northern Wastes, Feihan can command ice and snow. Her unusually sharp intuition lets her sense the world’s subtle changes—and notice danger and anomalies earlier than most.
What Is Confirmed
Players create a custom protagonist (元流之子（玩家）, community-translated as 'Child of the Primal Flow (Player)') rather than locking into a single hero.
Heroes from the MOBA universe are integrated as resonance/combat styles that the protagonist can invoke and swap.
User-captured official Chinese character references document the Child of the Primal Flow (Player) (元流之子（玩家）), Sun Shangxiang (孙尚香), Jialuo (伽罗), Wang Zhaojun (王昭君), Kai (铠), Hua Mulan (花木兰), Leng Chun (冷春), Luban Master (鲁班大师), Sun Bin (孙膑), Meng Ya (蒙犽), Xi Shi (西施), Dongfang Yao (东方曜), Longya (龙牙), and Feihan (妃寒). The source labels 强攻, 辅助, and 对抗 are presented here with editorial English equivalents—Assault, Support, and Vanguard. Their parenthetical MMO-function notes are explanatory shorthand, not official class names.
All fourteen references document full kits: the Child of the Primal Flow (Player) has Basic Attack, Turning Current, Surging Lance, Whirling Hammer, and Primal Flowbreaker; Sun Shangxiang has Basic Attack, Charged Basic Attack, Perfect-Dodge Counter, Vigor Assault, Red Lotus Bomb, Ultimate Ballista, and Heiress's Formation-Breaker; Jialuo has Basic Attack, Charged Basic Attack, Soul-Ferrying Arrow, Silencing Arrow, Purity's Domain, and Divine Arrow of the Thousand Caves; Wang Zhaojun has Basic Attack, Charged Basic Attack, Withering Ice Crystal, Gloam-Amber Frost, Frostward, and Winter's Arrival; Kai has Basic Attack, Charged Basic Attack, Ricochet Blade, Razor Tempest, Clash of Blades, and Undying Demonform; Hua Mulan has Lightblade Form and Heavyblade Form plus the Shared Ultimate, Warden's Blade; Leng Chun has Physician Form and Mosha Form plus the Shared Ultimate, Blood Feast; Luban Master has Basic Attack, Charged Shock, Boosted Leap, Power Link, and Automaton Command; Sun Bin has Basic Attack, Spacetime Bomb, Temporal Ripple, Spacetime Volley, and Time's Passing; Meng Ya has Basic Attack, Rapid-Fire Rounds, Wingman Response, Grenade Rounds, and Scorched-Earth Bombardment; Xi Shi has Basic Attack, Silken Binding Sigil, Phantom-Silk Spirit, Undivided Focus, and Phantom-Silk Array; Dongfang Yao has Basic Attack, Rift Cleave, Star Pursuit, Return to Dust, and Starriver Rupture; Longya has Basic Attack, Furnacebreaker Charge, Hundredfold Forge, Furnacefire Mountainbreaker, and Scarlet Ten-Thousandweight; Feihan has Basic Attack, Snow-Spirit Boomerang, Rabbit Barrage, Giant Rabbit Impact, and Full Rabbit Power. The English ability names are community translations.
Team play is presented through a Vanguard / Assault / Support functional triad.
What Is Still Unknown
The complete China-server character list and exact global launch roster.
Which heroes the global version will launch with, and their official English names and role labels.
How hero acquisition is monetized in the global build.
Guide Notes
If you come from the MOBA, recalibrate: this is not 'pick Arthur and play Arthur.' Your persistent character is your own creation, and MOBA heroes function closer to swappable stances or summoned combat styles. Fluid mid-fight switching is the core combat fantasy.
Treat current China-server names and role labels as source-language references until the publisher releases global localization. Assault, Vanguard, and Support are this site's editorial English equivalents; the parenthetical MMO terms are functional shorthand, not official English class names.
Do not memorize tier lists yet. Whatever balance exists on the China server today will shift by global launch — treat current hero rankings as a preview of the meta's shape, not its content.
What This Entry Confirms
This is a source-bounded reference, not a complete roster. It records only the character facts visible in the supplied China-server material and rewrites them in original English rather than copying a long translation.
Send further official character-list screens or an official page link to keep expanding this directory. Until a character is documented this way, it is intentionally not treated as a confirmed entry.
FAQ
Can I play as a specific hero like in the MOBA?
Not directly. You play a custom protagonist who channels heroes as combat styles through the resonance system.
How many heroes are in Honor of Kings: World?
A complete official English roster has not been published. This directory currently names the Child of the Primal Flow (Player), Sun Shangxiang, Jialuo, Wang Zhaojun, Kai, Hua Mulan, Leng Chun, Luban Master, Sun Bin, Meng Ya, Xi Shi, Dongfang Yao, Longya, and Feihan because their China-server references were available for review.
Are new heroes being added?
Ongoing additions and their global schedule are not confirmed on this page. We will add entries only when a source can be checked.
Do I need to know Honor of Kings lore?
No. The world is built to introduce the universe fresh, and most Western players will be meeting these characters for the first time anyway.
