The King update has arrived in Basketball Zero, introducing a powerful new style designed for total court domination. This update brings a suite of aggressive offensive abilities, dramatic defensive reactions, and cinematic effects that make every play feel spectacular. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about the King update, from its core abilities to limited-time event rewards.
King’s New Abilities & Playstyle
The King style focuses on creating scoring opportunities through flashy passes and self-sufficient plays, while also punishing opponents on defense. Here are the core abilities that define this new style:
NO-LOOK: King throws a pass in the opposite direction he is facing. This deceptive ability is perfect for tricking defenders and creating wide-open scoring chances for your teammates.
Self Alley: King performs a self-alley-oop by throwing the ball off the backboard and catching it for a powerful dunk. This is a key tool for solo scoring when a path to the basket is clear.
Flop: A high-risk, high-reward defensive reaction. When an opponent collides with King while he is using Flop, one of two outcomes can occur:
Charge Called: A penalty is called on King. The opponent retains possession of the ball, and King is stunned for 3 seconds.
Offensive Foul: A penalty is called on the opponent. King falls to the ground but receives the ball from the referee, resulting in a turnover.
Awakening Moves: TURNOVER and THE Block
When his Awakening meter is full, King can unleash one of two game-changing cinematic moves:
TURNOVER: This move triggers a cinematic scene where the opposing team loses possession of the ball. Following the turnover, King finishes the play with a powerful reverse windmill dunk.
THE Block: King executes a dramatic chase-down block on an opponent attempting a fast-break layup. This move can completely shift the momentum of a game by denying an almost certain score.
Majestic Zone Buff
Upon activating his Zone, King enters the “Majestic Zone,” granting him a significant power spike with the following buffs:
Immunity to unblockable dunks.
Increased block range.
Faster passing speed.
This makes King an even more formidable force on both ends of the court during his Zone activation.
