Sun Bin (孙膑), time and gravity support in Honor of Kings: World — Sun Bin, time and gravity support

Overview

Sun Bin (孙膑) 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 identity revolves around spacetime manipulation. His kit is built around delayed-detonation bombs, a state-based energy wave that converts incoming damage into ultimate charge, and a time-slow zone that debuffs enemy attacks. IT之家's combat mechanics feature explicitly calls out that Sun Bin can generate ultimate charge for other Resonances in team play, making him one of the most valuable Support picks for coordinated co-op content.

His official world.qq.com S0 tagline is "时光无终始，前路自可期" ("Time has no beginning or end, the road ahead holds promise").

Verified HoKW Kit

Skill names below are taken from GamerSky's official HoKW hero compendium (https://www.gamersky.com/handbook/202604/2117382_4.shtml), which carries Tencent-sourced skill text verbatim.

Skill	Chinese	Description
Basic	普攻	Continuously fires spacetime energy; charged basic is a laser; perfect-dodge counter triggers a laser beam
Spacetime Bomb	时空爆弹	Throws a delayed bomb that detonates harder when hit before the timer expires
Temporal Wave	时之波动	Enters a wave state that absorbs energy from incoming damage and converts it to ultimate charge; switching Resonance also converts accumulated energy
Time Flow	时光流逝	Detonates spacetime force across a targeted area, dealing damage and slowing enemies inside
Spacetime Barrage	时空连珠	Ultimate: continuous rays of spacetime energy for heavy sustained damage

Time Flow (时光流逝) is the skill responsible for Sun Bin's boss slow-zone effect. It creates a debuffed area where enemies move and attack more slowly, which opens windows for the party to land combo ultimates. Temporal Wave complements this by turning incoming damage into a resource that Sun Bin can pump into his own or his allies' ultimates.

Note on "Reverse Flow Time"

Earlier wiki drafts attributed Sun Bin with an ability called "Reverse Flow Time" (逆流之时) that slowed bosses and charged ally ultimates. The name 逆流之时 does NOT appear in GamerSky's compendium or any other Tencent-sourced material. The real skill that slows enemies is 时光流逝 (Time Flow); the real skill that charges ally ultimates via damage absorption is 时之波动 (Temporal Wave). The wiki has been updated to use the verified skill names. "Reverse Flow Time" should be treated as a third-party paraphrase rather than an official skill name.

Combat Role

Sun Bin is positioned as the premier Support Resonance in the S0 launch roster for co-op boss fights. His contribution is primarily utility rather than raw damage: the time-slow zone reduces boss DPS on the party, and the energy-wave state turns defensive play into offensive setup. In parties running Sun Bin alongside Offensive Resonances with long-cooldown ultimates, the tempo of the fight is dictated by Sun Bin's wave timing and his ability to convert absorbed energy into chain ultimates.

Playstyle Tips

Place Time Flow (时光流逝) in choke points or during boss wind-up animations to maximize the slow's value
Enter Temporal Wave (时之波动) when the boss is about to unleash a heavy attack; the incoming damage will convert to ultimate charge for the party
Save Spacetime Barrage (时空连珠) for break windows after a boss's stance is shattered
Communicate with allies about when Temporal Wave is active so their burst damage timing can be extended
Throw Spacetime Bomb (时空爆弹) ahead of high-movement bosses and let them walk into it when it detonates
