Honor of Kings introduces Tri-National Clash Mode: Here’s how to win

As part of Ranked Season 13 update in Honor of Kings, a new limited-time mode, Tri-National Clash will be available as from December 31st, 2025. This new 3-team gameplay mode will allow players from the same Country to Fight and defend their Nationality. Thanks to its unique gameplay and strategy, this new HOK mode offers both challenge and thrill for all players looking to prove their nation’s supremacy.

Honor of Kings Tri-National Clash Mode: Overview

In the new Tri-National Clash mode, you’ll be grouped with 4 other players who share the same in-game flag or nationality. Together, your five-man squad will go head-to-head against 2 rival teams from different nationalities, battling it out in a fast-paced, three-way battlefield showdown.

This 3-way battlefield map, is structured like a triangle, allowing you to control a specific part of the map early-on.

The goal of the Tri-National Clash Gameplay mode is straightforward: defeat the other teams and prove that your nationality is the strongest! However, achieving this isn’t that simple, as the Tri-National Clash mode features multiple gameplay stages, each adding a unique and challenging twist to the battlefield.

HOK Tri-National Clash Mode Gameplay Tips

The all-new Tri-National Clash mode will bring challenging new gameplay to the game. Therefore we’d be breaking down the 2 main gameplay stages down, while highlighting the major details about them.

Early Gameplay

In the early gameplay of the HOK Tri-National Clash mode, your team will be matched with 2 other 5-man team. Prioritize Defeating enemies to collect the tokens they drop upon Death. You and your team can accumulate lots of these tokens by taking down, minions, turrets and enemy Heroes.

The First Team to accumulate 100 tokens will immediately be regarded as the winner of the Early Gameplay, immediately moving on to the second round. Therefore, it is best to focus on farming, and team coordination to scale and defeat enemies easily.

Late Gameplay

In the late gameplay stage of the Tri-National Clash mode, the two teams that lost the early game will immediately form an alliance to challenge the early-game winner. This sets up a challenging 5v10 scenario, with the winning team facing both losing teams at once. As expected, this phase is far more intense and difficult, which is why the objective changes.

The goal is to secure and maintain the point lead for 90 seconds to prove your supremacy. Therefore, this is the most crucial gameplay stage where your team must either hold onto its dominance as the “Strongest” or work together to strip the winning team of its title.

Tri-National Clash Mode: Rewards

Participate in the Tri-National Clash mode to completing event missions in the National Star: Rise Up event. There, you can claim limited-time skins, titles, an exclusive KIS4 Flag and lots more other rewards for Free. These rewards will encourage all players to join this exciting and challenging mode.

Final Thoughts

Tri-National Clash is a mode that tests strategy, teamwork, and skill at every stage. Either be the Strongest or prevent others from snatching up that title! This new gameplay mode is indeed a must-try for all players aiming to dominate the battlefield and showcase their nation’s strength.

And honestly, kudos to the developers for bringing a lot of variety to the ranked mode. Very recently, the game also introduced a new ranked rule, and now this! It seems like HOK players are off to a fun-filled 2026!
