Honor of Kings: Shedding the old image of a mage, the new Golden Cicada skin features a black and gray color scheme and fires magic orbs to exorcise demons.

Season updates, time flies, dynasties change, and mid-lane players are still eagerly awaiting a new mage class. However, the news they received is a new epic skin, the Six-Eared Cinema, which is very exciting. Everyone is very curious about what identity he will have when he enters the Rift. Is he Sun Wukong's nemesis? A twin? They thought he could break free from the constraints of "Journey to the West", until the trailer was released, which showed another monk, Jin Chan.

That's right, the so-called new skin is Jin Chan's design. The image is not as rigid as Tang Shan Zang's. He is a simple mage with unfathomable magic power. He uses the headband to punish Wukong. In the animation, he transforms into a martial arts master who wields a magic weapon. He has a humorous personality and is a cultivator. To some extent, Season 44 will be the old routine of Liu Er fighting Jin Chan. It's just a makeover. Some people like Liu Er's first impression, while others are sad. Those who like him are definitely loyal to Sun Wukong. There is an added dark version of the battle. The two monkeys' brains are in the canyon, starting a fantasy. They can choose two to fight against enemies or teammates. How fun is that?

Jin Chan's cameo appearance in the Six Ears' backstory

People who are indifferent are probably fed up with the unchanging settings. Journey to the West heroes, Journey to the West special edition designs, and then a side story, skin sales collaborations—every move is based on a designated model, as if there is no original design idea. Warriors are prevalent, when will it be the turn of other classes? And then they just port it to overseas servers.

Don't think of things so badly. This season's main focus is on cultural and creative heroes, all of whom are male heroes. Yu the Great, Liu Er, and Wang Wei have dominated the new characters for three seasons. At the beginning of the year, there was the Yuanliu Assassin. In 2026, the schedule is completely full. Instead of focusing on heroes, you might as well look at the skins. For example, Jin Chan's new skin is not bad either.

Both are sorcerers who rescue stubborn macaques. In the world of Six Ears, Jin Chan seems to be a martial arts hero. The color scheme uses a lot of black and gray tones, with gold accents, creating an elegant and calm style. This extraordinary Tang Monk, wearing a wide bamboo hat, raises his magic weapon and leaps into the air, as if ready to fight. He releases a vibrant ancient tree seed towards Six Ears to drive away evil spirits. This is just the skin's entrance animation. The actual story is left for the players to imagine.
