Updated to live status: S1 launched May 29, confirmed Longya as warrior-support role
S1 "World Beginning" went live on May 29, 2026. The following details are now confirmed in the live build:
Role: official live coverage lists Longya as a warrior-support (战士辅助) Resonance. Chinese coverage describes the playstyle as an aggressive frontline support, the 暴力辅助 (fierce support) archetype, fighting at the front to create space for the team.
Weapon and lore: a hammer-wielding blacksmith from the 铸云庐 forging sect attached to Jixia Academy.
Availability: launched on the S1-opening banner alongside Sun Shangxiang on May 29, 2026.
Longya (龙牙) is a new Resonance arriving in the S1 World Beginning Season of Honor of Kings: World, which launched on May 29, 2026 alongside Sun Shangxiang. Longya is a hammer-wielding blacksmith from the 铸云庐 forging sect inside Jixia Academy, entering the playable roster as the first dedicated hammer Resonance after the protagonist's four-weapon cycle.
Arrival window: first half of S1 (May 29, 2026)
Class identity: Scorching Flow (灼流) Support, framed in CN coverage as 淬焰锻匠暴力辅助 (fierce-flame forging support)
Weapon: hammer (锤)
Lore anchor: blacksmith of the 铸云庐 forging sect, attached to Jixia Academy
Acquisition: launches on the S1 Heavenly Reward Banner alongside Sun Shangxiang
Pre-show profiles place Longya squarely in the Support role, but with what CN coverage repeatedly calls an aggressive playstyle, hence the 暴力辅助 label. Rather than a back-line healer, he is positioned as a frontline support whose hammer slams generate pressure relief for his ally while still doing meaningful damage. The 铸云庐 forging sect framing ties him narratively to Jixia Academy's lore: the sect supplies the academy's weapons and armor, including those used by the protagonist Child of the Primal Flow.
Longya channels Scorching Flow (灼流), the new Flow archetype debuting in S1. The Support framing implies kit elements oriented around enemy pressure rather than direct healing, which fits a forging-sect identity: in CN previews his work is described in terms of forging strikes that bleed momentum from opponents while letting an Offensive partner press a window. The dual-Flow loadout system means a Longya player will typically pair him with a Strong Attack partner such as Sun Shangxiang or the S0 burst Resonances like Jialuo or Dongfang Yao.
Longya is part of the S1 launch banner alongside Sun Shangxiang. The exact direct-shop Jingpo price (if offered) and Heavenly Reward pull rates will be confirmed on the May 29 patch. The current pre-show plan does not list a Battle Pass tier unlock for Longya; see Monetization for live price verification once S1 opens.
