Passive skill: Frenzy Prologue

Xuance in Honor of Kings wields a chained sickle that lets him perform deadly long-range melee attacks. He inflicts 25% extra damage with it to distant enemies, reducing their movement speed while boosting his own for a second.

First skill: Magic Sickle

When you use Xuance's first skill, he dashes toward your desired direction and deals extra damage with this basic attack. The amount of damage dealt by this move depends on the percentage of maximum health the target has.

If a hook icon is present on an enemy before the character dashes, Xuance drags that target for a short distance in any direction you want. Furthermore, upgrading this skill increases the movement speed of the character's passive effects. This boosts his speed and slow effects inflicted on foes.

Second skill: Nightmare Hook

The Nightmare Hook ability allows Xuance in Honor of Kings to swing his chained sickle, increasing his movement speed and the weapon's attacking range. When you release the sickle, it charges toward an enemy, dealing damage to whoever comes in its way and freezing the target for a few seconds.

The sickle retracts when it reaches the furthest point and marks the first enemy it hits. After this, the marked enemy receives extra damage from Xuance while they deal lesser damage to the character. Furthermore, using this skill twice hooks a target and throws it behind Xuance, dealing colossal damage.

Ultimate skill: Quick Scythe Flash

The ultimate skill of Xuance enhances his ability to chase and reposition in a battle. When you hook a target using the second skill, the character's ultimate allows him to dash behind them and inflict lethal damage on whoever comes his way.

Furthermore, Xuance can run along the chain and cover long distances with this ability. The ultimate skill also entails a passive effect when Xuance eliminates a foe: it increases his movement and attack speeds for a few seconds.

Here are a few gameplay tips for Xuance in Honor of Kings:

Use Xuance's second skill when fighting jungle monsters, as this ability deals bonus damage to these adversaries, which is effective for jungle clearance.
Use Xuance's first skill to isolate targets and disrupt their formations.
Use Xuance's hook to your advantage, create space, and control enemies around the battlefield.
Since Xuance's sickle can only hook a single target at once, facing a horde of enemies is difficult when using the character. Therefore, try to engage in single combat or isolate enemies using the first skill.
