11Overview22Yuange (元歌, Yuángē) is a puppet-master character from the base Honor of Kings franchise whose only HoKW presence is through the Yuange Puppet boss encounter in Chapter 4 "古丘城试炼" (Guqiu City Trial). Yuange himself does NOT appear in person as an NPC in the April 10, 2026 S0 launch build, and he is not listed in the 11-Resonance launch roster. His absence is framed as an explicit plot mystery in Tencent's official developer diary.44HoKW Launch Status66Yuange is NOT a playable Resonance at launch. The confirmed S0 roster is Heroes. Yuange is also not confirmed as an upcoming post-launch Resonance by any developer statement in the launch-day or in the news feed. His entire on-screen presence in HoKW is limited to the Guqiu City Puppet boss and the single developer diary entry.88The Puppet as a Gift1010Per Tencent's official developer diary "【开发者日志】特殊的造物, 元歌傀儡" Yuange built the Yuange Puppet before disappearing and left it behind in Jixia as a gift. The diary's direct quote: "元歌傀儡不仅是本次偶戏的导演设计了这场表演，同时也是元歌留给稷下的礼物。那我们的元歌到底去哪里了？具体情节就等玩家自己去挖掘啦" ("The Yuange Puppet is not only the director who designed this performance, it is also Yuange's gift to Jixia. As for where our Yuange has actually gone, the specific plot is for players to dig up themselves").1212The diary describes Yuange's creative lineage as "一直在追求极致的机关美学" ("always pursuing the ultimate aesthetic of mechanism arts"), situating him as a peer of Master Lu Ban and Mozi within the Mohist mechanism tradition, though his artistic focus is on puppet theater rather than pure mechanical engineering.1414Puppet Design Terminology1616主舞 (main dancer) the large central Yuange Puppet that is the boss; a living autonomous puppet that directs the boss fight as a staged puppet-theater performance副舞 (supporting dancers) smaller puppets that fill out the boss fight as companions半成品 (half-finished works) the small puppets are described as unfinished research artifacts, with three functional types: near-combat (近战傀儡), ranged (远攻傀儡), and self-destruct (自爆傀儡)傀儡狂潮 (puppet tide) the small-puppet add-wave assault phase used during the Chapter 4 fight纸雏鸾 (paper crane / paper phoenix) and 丝线 (silk threads) two of Yuange's signature puppetry elements that the main puppet uses in combat1818Transformation Abilities2020The developer diary confirms that Yuange's Puppet can 幻化 (transform / disguise) into the forms of other heroes, specifically Dongfang Yao and Xi Shi. While transformed, the Puppet borrows the target hero's HoKW 淬炼 (Cuilian) combat abilities, which is why Phase 2 of the Chapter 4 boss fight uses Xi Shi's orb pull and lotus-explosion AoE. This transformation mechanic is a purpose-built HoKW feature rather than a port of any base-MOBA kit.2222What Is Not Known23+What is Not Known2424Where Yuange has gone in the HoKW fiction (the developer diary explicitly leaves this as a plot mystery)When or whether Yuange will appear in person in a future seasonAny future plans to add Yuange as a playable HoKW ResonanceWhether the Guqiu City Puppet encounter has a hidden ending or continuation in the Chapter 4 aftermath2626Availability in Honor of Kings: World2828Yuange (元歌) is a hero from the Honor of Kings MOBA. As of the Honor of Kings: World S0 Season launch (April 10, 2026), Yuange is not a playable Resonance (共鸣) in the open-world action RPG. The S0 launch roster contains only 11 playable Resonances: Child of the Primal Flow, Dongfang Yao, Xi Shi, Meng Ya, Master Lu Ban, Sun Bin, Wang Zhaojun, Jialuo, Mulan, Kai, Leng Chun. Any skills or kit descriptions on this page that reference playable gameplay should be read as MOBA reference material, not as Honor of Kings: World launch content.3030In the MOBA, Yuange fills the assassin / puppeteer role. In Honor of Kings: World, Yuange himself is not a playable Resonance at S0 launch, but his signature puppet mechanic returns as the Chapter 1 boss Yuange's Puppet (元歌傀儡) fought at Guqiu City (古丘城). His character is referenced in environmental storytelling throughout the Springbrook Plains.3232For the canonical launch roster, see Heroes and Resonance System.
