Wang Wei Honor of Kings Malaysia: 8 Oktober 2026 Launch & 588 Vouchers Plan
Published: 2026-09-25
Wang Wei drops on the mid lane 8 October
Honor of Kings sets the Poet Buddha loose on 8 October 2026. That is 15 days after Season 16 "Flow As One" opened on 23 September, and the countdown matters because the discount he lands with only holds for a week. Wang Wei costs 588 Vouchers or 13,888 Gold. A 50% Voucher discount runs the first week only, which drops him to 294 Vouchers between 8 October and roughly 15 October. The whole game will try to lock him during that seven-day window, and the price snaps back to 588 the moment Malaysian midnight of 16 October ticks over.
Verdict up front. If you already play mid, grab him in the discount week and skip the Gold grind. A serious mid player from Petaling Jaya will burn 13,888 Gold on Arcana refunds faster than they will ever grind it back for one hero unlock, so direct top-up beats waiting every time. REDX Game's Honor of Kings top-up starts from RM 0.36 and clears in the advertised 1–3 minutes. You can be on the practice range the moment the patch flips.
What actually ships with the Flow As One patch
The 23 September update did four things at once, and the launch calendar is tighter than most players noticed on the day. Two Flowborn classes, Flowborn Assassin and Flowborn Roamer, went free on the drop day. Honor Royale, a new 2v2v2v2 battle royale mode with three-minute matches, went live in the same build. Ten regions began the Asian Games esports event on 27–28 September, and then Wang Wei arrives on 8 October, followed by a second hero, Dunshan, whose date Level Infinite has not confirmed beyond "September update".
Wang Wei's kit reads like a control mid rather than a burst assassin. His passive is a positional dodge tied to poetry marks. That ultimate is a global support cast rather than a lane-clear, so he answers a different question than a Wang Zhaojun or a Milady. Early Chinese-server test data on One More Game described him as "that person on the King's Continent who arrives from within the great mist" — flowery, but the mechanical version is a probe mid who trades burst damage for map coverage.
Voucher tags matter here because Honor of Kings prices heroes on a fixed ladder. 588 Vouchers is the top tier, which Wang Zhaojun and Ying (Umbrosa) also sit on, and first-week discounts on that tier only appear once per hero, so the 294-Voucher price will not return after 15 October.
What Wang Wei costs in ringgit
Do the maths before you top up. Your target is 294 discounted Vouchers, but you also want a small buffer for the ranked reward Arcana slots that Season 16 opens up on the same login. A 300-Voucher pack via REDX Game direct top-up covers Wang Wei's discount price with six Vouchers to spare and hits your account inside the 1–3 minute REDX Game delivery band the site advertises, whereas the full 588-Voucher price after 15 October means a 600-Voucher pack instead and roughly double the outlay.
Apple IAP in Malaysia charges the standard 30% platform cut on identical Voucher packs. The RM 4.90 App Store tier is Apple's smallest IAP for MY accounts. That same 60-Voucher pack via developer-side top-up sidesteps the surcharge entirely. Senang gila. The maths only gets steeper as you climb the ladder toward the 3,000-Voucher slots that funders like. Buy the pack that matches your target price, not the one 100 Vouchers larger "just in case".
How much Gold do I need if I skip Vouchers?
13,888 Gold. Ranked wins at Diamond and above return around 40–60 Gold, so a full grind from zero is roughly 250–300 games. Season 16's free-hero rotation includes both Flowborn Assassin and Flowborn Roamer from 23 September, so the Gold saved on those two heroes is real, but neither of them is Wang Wei.
Do I lose the discount if I top up before 8 October?
No. Vouchers sit in your wallet until you spend them. Top up on 7 October, log in at maintenance, buy Wang Wei at 294 Vouchers. Discounts apply at purchase, not at top-up.
Is the 588 Voucher tag the same in every region?
Yes, for the Global client that Malaysian players are on. Chinese-server Honor of Kings prices heroes in Tokens instead of Vouchers, and Wang Wei launched there on 19 August 2026, a full seven weeks earlier than the Global build. So the 8 October date and the 588-Voucher tag apply to the Level Infinite build we play here, not the Tencent domestic one.
Does REDX Game accept DuitNow QR for Honor of Kings top-up?
Yes. DuitNow QR, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost and FPX all clear on the REDX Game checkout. For sub-RM 50 orders from a Shah Alam or Johor Bahru address the QR rail is the fastest, whereas FPX is safer for RM 100+ orders because the bank confirmation carries an audit trail if the top-up ever needs disputing.
Will Dunshan drop with the same discount week?
Level Infinite has not published a Dunshan launch date beyond "September update", so watch the in-game news tab. If history rhymes, expect the same 50%-off Voucher window on Dunshan too.
Pro read: does he fit the MY meta?
Malaysian ranked at Legendary and above still leans on burst-mage mid — Angela flex, Milady, Ying. Wang Wei's global ult overlaps with the roaming supports that pro squads like Selangor Red Giants have leaned on since MPL MY Season 16, so in practice this new pick rewards a coordinated duo queue with a Flowborn Roamer far more than a solo climb up the ladder.
Boleh tahan for KL ladder pushes if you already communicate with a friend on comms. Solo grinders in Kuching or Ipoh who queue at 2 a.m. MYT should stick with Milady this cycle. A hero who needs coordination is worthless on a random duo. That is the honest read. Do not buy him just because he is new.
The 5-minute top-up flow from KL
- Open the Honor of Kings order page on REDX Game in your browser.
- Enter your HoK Player ID (found in the in-game Profile card, top-left avatar tap).
- Pick the 300-Voucher pack (covers 294 discounted Vouchers with 6 buffer).
- Choose DuitNow QR for sub-RM 50 orders, FPX for RM 100+.
- Pay in the Maybank or CIMB app; the Vouchers land in HoK within 1–3 minutes.
Do this on 7 October evening. Wake up on 8 October, buy Wang Wei at the discount, load into Honor Royale for the free-hero warm-up.
Local tips for a KL grind week
Ping is the second cost nobody mentions. Kuala Lumpur's data centre routes Honor of Kings cleanly on Unifi and TIME fibre, though Maxis Fibre has spiked past 90 ms in Sri Petaling since the September patch, which is enough to wreck the timing on the passive dodge. On mobile, Yes 5G in Cheras holds under 45 ms on the Wang Wei build, so a rooftop hotspot from a Sri Petaling condo is genuinely playable if wired Maxis is misbehaving. Murah giler if your carrier is stable, because the 5-minute practice sessions after every ranked loss are where mid mains actually learn a new pick.
For MPL MY viewers, Wang Wei is likely to appear in the stage pool by Season 17 group stage, though he will not shift the tournament meta on release week because new heroes rarely do. The last mid launch to genuinely shift Malaysian pro drafts was Yu Ji, and even then it took three weeks after her global drop before we saw her regularly in Selangor Red Giants comps, so plan your practice around solo climb first and drafts second.
Between 8 October and 15 October, ranked queues will be full of first-time Wang Wei picks and their inevitable mistakes on the poetry-mark passive. Ban him in Legendary and above until you own him yourself; play him in Diamond IV Casual to learn the passive-dodge timing without dropping stars. That is the cheapest ranked plan a REDX Game customer can run this week.
