List of dominant Marksman Heroes in Honor of Kings (2024)
1) Hou Yi
Hou Yi is an attack specialist whose primary attribute is ranged accuracy. His passive, Chastising Shot, increases his basic attack damage by 25 percent for every three hits in a row. His last ability, Sun Arrow, is a huge AoE (Area of Effect) burst, which is perfect for team fights and controlling space.
His Sun Arrow also has utility in slowing down enemies, which makes it great for kiting, and it puts pressure on melee heroes as they try to close the distance. Hou Yi is a character who is all about staying as far away from the enemy as possible while slowly whittling down their health before using his ultimate ability.
2) Luban No.7
Luban No. 7 is one of the marksman heroes in Honor of Kings that was designed for sustained fire. Her passive, Suppressive Fire, increases his attack rate by 20% after each hit, making her a reliable and constant DPS (Damage Per Second) machine. Her Air Support ability deals massive damage to enemy tanks due to its continuous attack and Sonic Bomb provides AoE damage in case enemies are packed.
She is great at immediately destroying squishier targets and tearing through frontline tanks. This makes her ideal for teams that are constantly applying pressure. Positioning is important because while Luban No. 7 can deal damage rather fast, she does not have strong tools to get away from the opponent.
3) Marco Polo
Marco Polo is a marksman who specializes in mobility and constant poke damage. His ability Chain Reaction enables him to shoot with great speed and while on the move, so it is hard for enemies to focus on him. His final, Fevered Barrage, hits everything in the area of effect and allows him to move to better positions for team fights.
The Roaming Gun skill allows Marco Polo to teleport through enemies and can be used as an effective way to kite opponents. This hero is perfect for players who like to play a hit-and-run style and are constantly probing during fights.
4) Garo
Garo is a burst damage dealer with stealth mechanics. This makes her an assassin-like character. Her Silent Arrow deals damage while silencing and slowing enemies down. Sphere of Purity is Garo’s last move. It is an attack that shoots multiple arrows that can take down a target in a matter of seconds. The arrows also deal 30% additional critical damage.
Her burst damage is dangerous against softer targets and her ability to avoid being targeted allows her to decide when and where the fights occur. Because of this, Garo always has a lot of tactical options available.
5) Lady Sun
Lady Sun is great at chipping away at her opponent’s health while also manipulating the board through her Dancing Blades. Her passive, Energy Burst, reduces the cooldown of Skill 1, which makes her a perfect option against tanks.
Her final, Ultimate Shell, is an excellent zoning tool that can be utilized to control objectives or push the enemy back so that the rest of her team can take advantage of the situation. It is most effective in teams that are looking to control space and play around objectives since Lady Sun’s abilities do not allow opponents to attack directly.
