Revision 2

Overview

Xi Shi (西施) is a Resonance (共鸣) in Honor of Kings: World, confirmed in the S0 Season launch roster on April 10, 2026. She is a member of Jixia Academy and functions as a 辅助 (Support) Resonance whose kit provides damage amplification and healing to allied party members. She is one of the classical Four Beauties of ancient China, reimagined as a mage-support hybrid in the Honor of Kings franchise.

Identity

In Honor of Kings: World, Xi Shi is framed as a Jixia Academy student or practitioner whose combat style uses her traditional association with grace and influence as a foundation for a supportive magical toolkit. She wields an enchanted silk ribbon or similar elegant weapon consistent with her MOBA identity, and she operates from the back line where she can buff allies and heal the team.

Combat Role

Per Baidu Baike primary text, Xi Shi's Honor of Kings: World kit provides bonus damage amplification and healing. She adapts her MOBA support kit into a HoKW Support Resonance with emphasis on team utility. Her exact ability names and numerical kit details have not been fully documented in English-language coverage as of the April 10, 2026 launch, but her functional role is clear: she is a backline Support whose presence raises allied damage output and keeps the team alive.

Playstyle

• Position behind the frontline where you can maintain lines of sight to multiple allies

• Prioritize damage amplification on your strongest Offensive allies to multiply party damage

• Keep healing available for emergencies rather than topping up full-HP allies

• In co-op dungeons, communicate with the party to time your buff windows with boss break states

• Pair Xi Shi with burst-focused Offensive Resonances (Wang Zhaojun, Leng Chun) to maximize the benefit of her amplification

Note on Unverified Claims

Earlier English-language coverage of Xi Shi described a "Maiden's Trick" distance-scaling passive and specific ability names like "Silk Binding Seal" and "Illusionary Silk Spirit." These names are carryover from the Honor of Kings MOBA and have not been verified as her Honor of Kings: World kit. The verified HoKW role is a backline Support with damage amplification and healing, adapted from her MOBA support kit for the action RPG format.
