Ziya build in Honor of Kings: Best Equipment, Arcanas, Battle Spell, and Skill combos

Our Ziya build in Honor of Kings focuses primarily on boosting his damage and reducing his skills’ cooldown period. While Ziya is a mage-class Hero perfect for the Mid-Lane in HoK, players can also use him for the Roaming Lane. He is a hard-to-play Hero who excels in the late game. This mage is adept at poking enemies and buffing one of his allies by increasing its level cap to 25.

Ideally, he should stay at the backline and damage enemies with long-range attacks during team fights. Players should be particularly careful about Ziya’s position during fights due to his low survivability.

That said, this guide may help players make the best Ziya build in Honor of Kings.

Note: Some aspects of this article may be subjective.
