Biron is a heavy fighter who excels at sustain. He has a lot of life regen in his kit, and the amount of mobility in his kit makes him an excellent clash lane hero. He's one of the best in the game right now.

With the outstanding skills Nezha has, he can easily obliterate any opponent. In team fights, especially, his Red Armillary Sash - Bind can easily make him a nightmare for any marksman. With his ultimate, he also becomes a lot tankier, while still retaining the mobility.

Kong Ming continues to wreak havoc in both the mid-lane as well as the jungle. Past buffs have reinvented the constant passive tech on Kong Ming, where his lightning bolts last longer, and he is able to always target heroes first. Kong Ming’s domination comes in the form of very high mobility accompanied by high damage output. His 2nd ability also helps him manoeuvre around the map more easily, as it charges up to three dashes at the maximum level. If you’re a low HP target, then beware, as his ultimate ability can directly execute you if you’re in fatal range. Plus, it has quite a long range.

If you like some out-of-body experiences, Sima Yi is a character you should try out! He scales like a beast and deals some of the highest magic damage in the entire game. Sima Yi can be flexed in the jungle or the mid-lane, depending on the team. His 1st ability allows his soul to roam freely at a higher movement speed and bring along his body with him if he tags an enemy hero. His 2nd skill can wreak havoc on a group of enemies with an AoE silence and magic damage circle. Oh, and Sima Yi can also quite literally jump towards you from halfway across the map, thanks to his ultimate.

Both Tigerous and Daji are consistently rated the worst by both win rate statistics as well as by community veterans, hence their spot at the bottom of our Honor of Kings tier list. While Daji is a decent point-and-click hero with little to no intricate mechanics, Tigerous is simply unusable in most situations due to extremely low damage multipliers and slow wave clear. Oh, and both the heroes are given for free. Coincidence? We assume not!

-

Huang Zhong is not your regular marksman, as he possesses the ability to turn into a turret, quite literally. His main appeal remains his ultimate ability that allows him to shoot unlimited turret shots from a long range, for a set duration. This helps your team siege towers and other important objectives quite easily. On the negative side, being a turret naturally leaves Huang Zhong as an immovable object that can be easily preyed upon. His passive makes good use of his fury, giving Huang Zhong stacking Crit rate and attack damage.
Gongsun Li, the apprentice of a legendary master, is classified as the protégé who will carry forward his teachings. Donning a stylish umbrella, she’s not as cute and innocent as first perceived. All of her abilities revolve around the positioning of her umbrella. She can transport to it by using any of her abilities, provided she is in range and the cooldown of the ability hasn’t run out. Gongsun Li can quite literally shred tanks due to her mixed damage-dealing capabilities, involving a lot of true damage.
Hou Yi is another of those cool-looking marksmen who just gets the job done when you need him. Blessed with the power of the Sun God, this guy can shred through waves of minions thanks to his 1st ability that splits his normal attacks into multiple arrows. Sounds sick? Well, wait until you know what the rest of his abilities do. He gets passively more attack speed when he attacks anything on the map - towers, minions, heroes, or objectives. Hou Yi can also be quite the playmaker with his ultimate ability that spans globally and can stun an enemy character upon being hit. The stun duration depends on how long the ability was charged for.
Di Renjie is the free hero that every player gets upon completing the initial tutorial. Does that make him bad? Not at all! In fact, he enjoys quite the success in early-mid game scenarios, thanks to his passive ability that allows constant stacking of attack speed and attack damage. Di Renjie lacks mobility, allowing him to be a free target for pretty much all assassins in the game. Di Renjie can dish out a ton of magical/physical mixed damage due to his extraordinarily high damage multipliers on his ultimate ability.

Kai has long been treated as an off-lane tanker that can handle even the mightiest of bruisers in the solo lane. This is thanks to his passive skill, which deals additional damage when fighting only one enemy. Almost majestically, his entire skill set revolves around demolishing opponents in 1v1 situations. Kai can self-sustain through his 1st ability, crowd control and push back enemies with his 2nd, and gain a huge chunk of damage mitigation with his Ultimate. Use this beast of a character in the solo lane to crush the willpower of your opponents as they struggle to even farm safely in the lane!

Right in the middle of our Honor of Kings tier list, we have Genghis Khan, who is a strong hyper carry but takes too long to scale into oblivion. He is preferred in the dragon lane, ideally with a support hero constantly guarding him due to his low mobility. To compensate, this guy packs some serious punch in the form of his stackable arrows that can even critical-hit enemies. His abilities are also quite long-ranged, making Genghis Khan one of the safest marksmen to play against assassins. Fond of landmines? Well, Genghis Khan loves them! His 2nd ability can entrap enemies in landmines that slow and damage them before revealing their location.

Dyadia is a powerful support hero - actually, the best in Honor of Kings, right now. She can heal allies with her Skill 1, and if she happens to heal two teammates at the same time, she also grants them movement speed. She excels in teamfights, since she can heal the entire team, while also dealing good amounts of damage over time to the enemies.
Dolia is an excellent roamer, since she can transform into a mermaid while in the river. She can damage enemies, and depending on her positioning, she can even inflict various crowd control debuffs on your opponents. Furthermore, she can also speed up the cooldowns of her allies' skills.
