Applied Title Case to body headings
Master Lu Ban (鲁班大师) is a Resonance (共鸣) in Honor of Kings: World, confirmed in the S0 Season launch roster on April 10, 2026. He is a member of Jixia Academy and functions as a 辅助 (Support) Resonance whose kit revolves around piloting and commanding mechanical constructs. His narrative identity is tied to the Mohist Machinery tradition descended from Moziwho built the mechanical infrastructure of Jixia Academy and the city of Chang'an. His S0 tagline is "空谈终无益，实干破万疑" ("Empty talk brings no benefit; action breaks through ten thousand doubts").

Laser Impact | 激光冲击 | Post-perfect-dodge or post-skill enhanced attack |
Energy Charge Shock | 蓄能震击 | Teleports Lu Ban Number Five in front of the target and empowers the next basic attacks into 激光冲击 |
Boost Jump | 助推跳跃 | Jet-assisted vertical movement skill |
Energy Link | 电能链接 | Ultimate: re-casts the shock effect while putting Number Five into an excited state with bonus crit |

Number Eight Descent | 八号降临 | Charged-up form: summons and pilots Lu Ban Number Eight with a shield |
Per 's combat mechanics feature, Master Lu Ban's Honor of Kings: World kit has been redesigned from his MOBA version. The MOBA version had a displacement-pull ability as its signature; the HoKW version replaces this with a mechanical-summon combat kit where Master Lu Ban pilots and commands smaller mechs (Lu Ban Number Five) and can transform into a larger mech (Lu Ban Number Eight). This redesign fits the action RPG format better than a static pull ability and gives him a more distinctive mechanical identity.
As a Support Resonance, Master Lu Ban provides utility through mechanical summons that extend the party's effective damage output. His 八号降临 (Number Eight Descent) transforms him into a shielded mech pilot form, giving him a secondary tanking capability in emergencies. He is one of the more mechanically distinct S0 Resonances because he essentially operates two entities: his pilot form and his summoned mechs.
Use Energy Charge Shock (蓄能震击) to teleport Lu Ban Number Five onto priority targets
Chain empowered basics through Laser Impact (激光冲击) after landing the teleport
Save Number Eight Descent (八号降临) for moments when the party needs an extra tank or when you need a damage burst
Use Boost Jump (助推跳跃) to reposition vertically in open-world traversal and combat
Pair with Offensive Resonances whose damage benefits from the enemy distractions created by your mechs
Current launch-week guidance places Master Lu Ban among the Support Resonances that grow in value after the earliest opening hours. He is described as a damage-amplifying mechanical support rather than a pure healer, which makes him more team-shaping than individually self-sufficient.
Master Lu Ban also matters narratively because Jixia Chapter 6: When Stars Converge begins with Luban's Heart Knotturning his academy-side thread into a direct story driver even before the later star-team scenes resolve.
The Suwen task 英雄所归 (Heroes Return) awards Master Lu Ban's 青云问 (Qingyun Ask) weapon appearance. The reward is a launch-build cosmetic for Master Lu Ban's mechanical-wing weapon and is sourced from the Suwen exploration chain rather than the cash shop, which makes it one of the cleaner free-track customization paths for Master Lu Ban players.
