Honor of Kings 2025 Plus Tanks Tier List: 55% WR S

Quick Dive into the 2025 Plus Update Nerfs

What's Shaking in the Nov 1-27 Global Patches

Patch 1.10.5 dropped Oct 16: Sun Shangxiang's ult dialed back from 200% to 180% AD, Athena's CC from 2.5s to 1.8s. Buffs flowed to Charlotte's MS and Zhou Yu's damage. The big swings? Assassins -5% early damage, tanks +10% HP, mages capped at 45% CDR, supports grabbing +15% gold. Rollout hit NA/EU Nov 1, Asia-Pacific Nov 8, everywhere Nov 15. Keep eyes on the Int Championship Nov 14-30—$1M prize pool on the line.

Diamond+ tanks now flex 53.8-55.1% WR. Pre-patch, assassins hovered at 50% WR; now Lam/Augran spike to 54.9-55.1% WR, while C-Tier dips below 47%.

Here's the play: 1. Check in-game notes daily through Nov 1-27. 2. Binge KWC 2025 replays—Lam's at 67% pro WR. 3. Ban tanks first in draft.

How It Hits Tanks and Assassins

That +10% HP juices up Resistance Boots and Dominance Ice. Lam's sitting pretty at 54.9% WR (38.7% ban rate), Augran's a beast at 55.1% WR (45.2% ban, flexing Jungle/Top/Clash). Rush Down comps? 68% WR. No wonder.

Tank Tier List: From Gods to Garbage

S-Tier Tanks (Arthur, Dun, Augran)

Honor of Kings S-Tier Tanks: Arthur, Dun, Augran character portraits

Arthur locks it down at 54.2% WR with silence and area denial. Dun's 53.8% WR (33.3% pro pick) pulls and heals under 50% HP—perfect anti-Lam tech. Augran's 55.1% WR (22.3% PR) hybrid sustain feels unfair.

Core build: Resistance Boots > Dominance Ice > Shield of the Lost > Twilight Armor (+10% HP). Augran flex: Warrior Boots > Dominance Ice > Shield of the Lost > Cursed Helmet > Crimson Banner.

Rush it: 1. Dominance Ice by 4:00 (20% CDR). 2. Stack health against Lam. 3. Gank 1:30-2:00 after Azure/Crimson.

A-Tier Solid Bets

Charlotte/Sun Ce hit 53.2% WR thanks to MS buffs. Zhang Fei/Lian Po at 52% WR bring health and CC reduction. They stonewall 55% of assassin dives with smart wards.

Resistance Boots first rush. 2. Team with Daji (53-54% WR). 3. Dodge Terra dives pre-4:00.

B/C-Tier – Niche or Nope

B-Tier: Terra under 47% WR (Earthquake stun, 3s Rock Wall barrier, +10% HP stacks). Zephyr's situational. C-Tier? Below 47% WR.

Standard: Resistance Boots > Dominance Ice. Terra vs Augran flops on scaling (Augran's 55.1% WR).

Post-nerf glow-up: S-Tier +3-5% WR. Arthur's silence owns Lam, Dun blocks 67% ganks, Augran hits 58% pro WR (94% presence).

Pro move: Ban Augran (45.2%); snag Arthur/Dun in Diamond+.

Assassin Tier List: Who's Left Standing?

S-Tier Assassins (Lam, Augran, Feyd)

Honor of Kings S-Tier Assassins: Lam, Augran, Feyd character portraits

Lam dominates at 54.9% WR (24.1% PR, 67% pro WR, 98% P/B over 64 KWC matches, 8.7 KDA, fastest clears). Augran's sustain carries. Feyd's 52-55% WR with wall-jumps and executes. Lam's red buff paths? +73% WR. Bans: Lam 38.7%, Augran 45.2%.

A-Tier Speed Demons

Wukong clears 15-20s faster at 52.7% WR. Dian Wei/Prince of Lanling 47-52% WR with stealth edge.

Wukong path: Azure 00:30, small 00:45, Crimson 01:15, gank 01:30-02:00 (+73% WR).

Lower Tiers After the Axe

C-Tier scrapes <47% WR—like Kai after mobility nerfs. Lam's 54.9% vs Kai's sub-47%.

Patch Shifts and Meta Twists

Tanks Getting Tankier

+10% HP baseline. Zephyr +15% MS near enemies; 12 items reworked for penetration. Arthur/Dun silences, Guardian's Garb wards shut down assassins. Terra passive stacks +10% HP; supports +15% gold fuel CC chains.

Assassins Feeling the Pinch

-5% early damage, Dec CDR nerfs looming. Sustain tanks laugh at burst now—Dun/Lam hypercarry comps at 68% WR.

The shift? Pre-patch balance at 50% WR. Now tanks rule S-Tier (Arthur/Dun/Augran), Lam clings to S.

Track it: 1. River Sprites (126g/60s) to 4:00. 2. Rotate Dragon at 3:30. 3. Lord push over 70% HP.

Pitfalls and Pro Tips

Don't Feed the Meta

Skip pre-4:00 tank dives, invades without CC, blind counterjungle. Lam crumbles vs grouped Arthur/Dun. Ward rivers 45s early. Objectives over kills—200-300 games for 60%+ WR.

Lam combo flows: Wavebreaker → Space Split (mark/dash) → Death From Below (drag). Anim cancels + AA under 60% HP. Feyd lvl2 gank 1:00-1:30 (Thunder Belt). All junglers? Hunting Knife start.

Quick hits: 1. Lam red path lvl3 01:15 (+73% WR). 2. Augran blue lvl4 02:00-02:30. 3. Min specs: iOS 12+/Android 8.0+ 3GB (optimal 15+/12+ 6GB, 20% FPS boost).

(Editor's take: I've queued these paths a ton—red Lam feels like cheating sometimes.)
