When is HoK ranked season 9 reset time?

Honor of Kings (HoK) features a ranked mode that reset the progress every season for competitive players who seek greater challenges. Players can climb the ranks by winning matches throughout the season. The current season, Season 9, began on March 5 and is expected to conclude faster than usual.

Currently, HoK leads players to confusion by not displaying the exact end date for Season 9 within the game. The developers have only posted an announcement that Season 9 will last for about two months, which is a month shorter than usual, suggesting an end in early May since the current season started on March 5.

In ranked mode, players earn a star for each match they win and lose a star for each loss. Players can also earn two stars with the Tier Double Star Card and MVP Double Star Card while also avoiding losing stars with the Tier Star Protection Card.

The ranked mode consists of seven major tiers, from Bronze to Grandmaster, with three to five sub-tiers each depending on the tier. Players who reach Grandmaster can advance further to Mythic (25 stars), Epic (50 stars), and Legend (100 stars) to earn exclusive in-match titles.

There are two types of rewards: instant rewards and season-end rewards. To instantly claim all available rewards, including a free Epic Skin, players should aim to reach Grandmaster.

At the end of Season 9, additional rewards will be given to eligible players depending on the highest rank they successfully reached, including an exclusive animated sticker, avatar frame, glory cast, and top 100 battle sector title.

To reach Challenger or higher quickly before the season ends, you should play ranked matches as much as possible. However, you should also know when to stop — like losing three stars in a row. You can make use of the Double MVP Star Card and Tier Protection Card to rank up more efficiently as well.

It's also advisable to play roles and heroes you have mastered — particularly those that are currently strong in the meta. Additionally, make sure you are proficient in at least two roles and set your preferred lane options accordingly. Playing with trusted duo or trio partners will also minimize the risk of being matched with trolls.

We'll be right back as soon as we have more information about the exact end date of the season, so stay tuned on esports.gg!
