Hi everyone, I'm Game Xiaodi.

The three-year period has come—"Huai Zhen Emperor" is about to make a return. This phrase circulating among players recently refers to Zhao Huaizhen, as the official side of King of Glory officially launched the Zhao Huaizhen gameplay upgrade co-creation on August 21. Upon hearing the news, many veteran players felt quite emotional, since Zhao Huaizhen has undergone numerous adjustments since his release, from his initial extreme strength to gradually falling behind the version and meta, and now he is almost invisible. Finally, the official side has decided to hand the decision-making power to the players and start collecting directions for gameplay upgrades. So, in this episode, let's first discuss it.

Gameplay upgrade direction

In this co-creation announcement, the official side first admitted two major problems with Zhao Huaizhen: the clunky basic attacks and low damage. In fact, these two points are also a consensus among players.

Zhao Huaizhen's basic attack mechanism is quite unique, split into four different basic attack effects, making combos prone to being clunky and the feel not smooth enough. As for damage, although the unique "borrowing force to strike" mechanism can deliver outstanding performance against specific lineups, the damage support is usually insufficient. This is why many players later started playing support Zhao Huaizhen, and even in professional matches, it appeared because the mechanism is fine but the damage is lacking.

Of course, generally speaking, all hero upgrades are not complete overhauls. Referring to previous hero upgrades, they all retain the hero's unique playstyle while adding innovative elements or mechanisms. Therefore, for Zhao Huaizhen, it is hoped that on the basis of retaining the core feature of "borrowing force to strike," the feel can be optimized and damage supplemented, allowing this hero to have opportunities to appear in more lineups. After all, the mechanism of absorbing projectiles and counterattacking is Zhao Huaizhen's most unique label and the biggest difference between him and other warriors.

Therefore, everyone's submissions should preferably focus on specific skills and scenarios, such as optimizing basic attack transitions, adjusting skill damage values, or improving the ultimate ability experience. Secondly, the degree must be well-controlled; gameplay upgrade does not mean a complete rework. Too big changes may easily lose the original characteristics. Making additions and subtractions while retaining the core mechanism might better meet everyone's expectations. Finally, do not just point out problems; it's better to include adjustment ideas. For example, how to fix the clunky basic attacks—should we speed up the casting animation or adjust the combo rhythm? Well-reasoned proposals are more likely to gain favor.

How to participate in the co-creation

Let's talk about how to participate. The path is simple: in the game lobby, find "Discovery," enter "Co-creation," and you will see the activity entry for Zhao Huaizhen's co-creation. The activity is divided into three phases: the submission period is from August 21 to 24, the voting period is from August 31 to September 3, and the award announcement is expected on September 14.

There are mandatory conditions for submission: the account level must reach 30, and Zhao Huaizhen's proficiency must be at least Elite. Each account can submit up to 3 entries. As for rewards, if the submission passes review, you can get Co-creation Planner Growth Value and Interaction Points. If your proposal wins the Positive Suggestion Award, there is also a reward of 300 Q coins and 150 Co-creation Planner Growth Value. This is quite appealing, especially the Co-creation Planner Growth Value. If you want to get the Source Dream skin, you must participate in such co-creation activities frequently and level up as soon as possible.

The final outcome of Zhao Huaizhen's gameplay upgrade depends on the players' proposals this time. So, will you submit? Feel free to discuss.

That's all for the content. If you think it's good, feel free to give a like to support. If there's anything else you want to say, ask, or see, leave a comment below, and I'll read them all~
