Mythological inspiration

Erlang Shen (Yang Jian) is one of the most powerful deities in Chinese mythology. Nephew of the Jade Emperor, he is known for his third truth-seeing eye, his mastery of 72 transformations, and his unwavering sense of justice. In HoK:W, these elements are adapted into a warrior who bridges the mortal and divine realms.

• Trident cleave: sweeping attacks with his three-pointed lance

• Third eye gaze: activates the third eye to reveal enemy weaknesses, increasing damage to highlighted weak points

• Heaven's strike: a diving attack from above that deals area damage on landing

• Divine decree: ultimate that temporarily unlocks Nuwa's power, enhancing all abilities for a duration

Role in the story

Yang Jian occupies a central position in Honor of Kings: World's main storyline. As Nuwa's chosen successor, he carries the burden of protecting the mortal realm from threats the gods can no longer address directly.
