Honor of Kings’ latest Clash Lane, Liu Bang, has an Ultimate that can let him teleport to teammate miles away.

The Honor of Kings (HoK) just released their 92nd hero, Liu Bang, a guardian tank that has the ability to join a team fight miles away by teleporting to his ally.

Who is Liu Bang in Honor of Kings?

Putting one's interests first has always been the main principle of Liu Bang, the great conspirator. Always an outsider amongst the pious peasant folk of the Riverlands, he was a man who truly believed that the end justifies the means.

Oppressed by the ruler of his land, he devised a plan with his friend Liang to replace him: infiltrate one of the rituals of the followers of Omniscient, slay them, and devour the power from the ritual. Liu Bang firmly believes that fate is on his side, and thus his desire to rule was never going to be satisfied with just the Riverlands.

Liu Bang was one such heretic. He had little patience for faith and preferred gold over religion. To him, the end justified the means.

He did everything he could to eventually become a minor civil servant, but he quickly realized that what he got in return was not satisfactory. His superiors used him, but they were also wary of him. He was no fool, and eventually, a bold idea came to mind.

The Omniscient needed to perform rituals to display the ancient powers that only they could wield. If he somehow managed to perform the "Wonder," could he take their place and become the ruler of the land?

The idea enthralled him.
