Revision 2

Overview

Meng Ya (蒙犽) 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 强攻 (Offensive) Resonance whose kit revolves around artillery and ranged firepower. His in-game tagline is "用炮火轰碎所有束缚" ("Use cannon fire to shatter all constraints"), which captures his identity as an aggressive ranged specialist.

Identity

Meng Ya is a student at Jixia Academy who specializes in the Mechanism Way (机关) branch alongside Master Lu Ban. His weapon of choice is a hybrid artillery piece that combines rapid fire capability with heavy ordnance payloads. This places him thematically within the Mohist Machinery engineering tradition descended from Mozi, though his personal style leans toward offensive application rather than construction.

Combat Role

As an Offensive Resonance, Meng Ya provides sustained and burst ranged damage. He is one of two ranged options in the S0 launch roster (the other being Jialuo with her bow), and the two differ in approach. Where Jialuo focuses on precision shots with positional play, Meng Ya emphasizes area-of-effect firepower and aggressive suppression. His kit rewards players who stay mobile enough to maintain line of sight while unloading sustained barrages.

Playstyle

• Maintain medium to long range from enemies where his firepower excels

• Use area attacks against clustered enemies to maximize his burst output

• Reposition frequently to avoid being pinned in a spot where the sustain fire cannot track

• Pair with Confrontation Resonances (Kai, Mulan) who can hold the enemy's attention

• Against bosses, focus fire on weak points during break windows

Note on Unverified Claims

Earlier English-language coverage of Meng Ya described specific ability names like "Apocalyptor," "Fiery Temper," "Awesome Barrage," "Heavy Shot," and "Missile Mayhem." These names are not confirmed by any primary Chinese source and appear to be third-party fabrications or speculative translations. The verified HoKW role is a Jixia Academy artillery-focused Offensive Resonance, without specific ability names being officially documented in English-language material. Treat any such names as unverified until TiMi publishes them in official materials.
