After the match begins, go to the Mid Lane and help the mage clear minion waves. If you do so, the mage can also rotate to help other lanes. Then, rotate to the bottom lane and help the Marskman hero. You can stick to your carry until the lane is safe. However, don’t engage or initiate flights if you are outnumbered.

Ideally, your job in Farm Lane is to protect the marksman, help him get kills, and endure damage from the opponents if your hero is a tank. It's also a better strategy to rotate to the Farm Lane after your Jungler has finished slaying the monsters. You can work with the Jungler to gank enemy heroes in the bottom lane.

However, immediately go to the farm lane if the marksman hero in your team is threatened by the opponents or is getting killed too often. Note that as a Roamer, you should always roam in the Hero’s Gorge and help other lanes to clear minion waves or support your teammates.

You must be able to go to the Clash, Mid, or Farm Lane whenever they need support. Additionally, you can help your Jungler invade the enemy’s Jungle and slow their farming.

Here are some of the general tips to help you master the Roaming role in Honor of Kings:

• Stick often with those allies that have the highest kills, and gold, or perform excellently in their positions. They will usually be the target for your opponents and helping them will get your team kills.
• Always play around the team and take damage from opponents if you are a tank roamer. Try to soak as much damage as possible, block the enemy’s escape paths, and assist them in getting kills.
• If your roamer hero has Stunning abilities, create a stun-chain with your allies to immobilize enemy heroes for a longer period.
• Initiate fights when you have an advantage over gold or your allies outnumber the opponents. Additionally, always stay in the frontline during team fights.
