Honor of Kings Arcana Builds: Lam 54.9% WR S-Tier

Getting Started with Arcana and Spells in Honor of Kings

Arcana Basics—And Why They Can Make or Break Your Game

Arcana pack 30 slots at max L5 level. Think Red Mutation for +2 phys atk/+3.6 pierce, Blue Longevity slapping on +75 HP, or Green Eagle Eye delivering +6.4 pierce. Damage formula? It's Def/(Def+100)—so 100 Def halves your output, 200 slices it by 67%. Hit those breakpoints: 64 Pierce with Eagle Eye x10, 10% CDR via Compassion x10, or 1162 HP stacking Longevity/Fate/Harmony x10.

Grab 10 per type, laser-focus on pierce/HP/CDR first. Upgrade to L5 in the shop. On a budget? Eagle Eye > Hunt > Mutation gets you 70-80% of the punch.

Ever notice how pros never skimp here? It's the quiet edge that turns feeds into feeds.

Spells That Actually Win Fights: Flash, Smite, Purify, and Crew

Purify blocks CC for 1.5s. Smite owns jungle: Crimson (00:30 spawn, 15% slow/true dmg 70-256), Azure (20% CDR). Flash? Pure mobility magic.

Junglers lock in Smite for buffs. Assassins and marksmen? Purify to dodge CC hell. Quick plays: 1. Smite Crimson at 00:30 or Azure 00:45. 2. Purify on Lam for that 54.9% WR burst. 3. Flash into ganks around lvl4 (02:00-02:30).

Assassin Arcana Builds That Shred

Lam assassin hero in Honor of Kings

Assassins crave 64 Pierce, then +36% Crit Dmg (Unparalleled x10) or 16% Crit (Calamity x10), topped with Hunt x10 for 10% MS/AS. Lam dominates at 54.9% WR, 98% pro ban/pick. Her setup: Eagle Eye x10 (64 Pierce), Hunt x10, Mutation. Core items: Boots Tranquility, Axe Torment, Pure Sky, Cuirass Savagery (67% pro WR).

Run it like this: 1. Max Ult at 6/11/15. 2. Combo flows Wavebreaker → Space Split (AA reset) → AA → Death From Below. 3. Emblems: Assassination CDR. Alt for Arke: 7% Crit/10% MS/AS + anti-heal (40-60%).

Lam's not just stats—she's a mindset. Play her right, and enemies melt.

Jungle Mastery: Arcana, Paths, and Smite Shenanigans

Mage Arcana: Burst, Control, and CDR Magic

Mages need 10% CDR (Compassion x10) +88 Magic Pierce (Mind’s Eye x10 +6% AS). Daji hits 54.7% WR; Angela 53.3%. Daji kit: Magic Boots, Fleeting Time, Holy Grail, Tome Reaper; lvl2 roams.

Why CDR first? Mages live or die by rotations—data backs it.

Tank Sets to Anchor the Frontline

Tanks bulk to 1462 HP (Longevity x10) +23 Phys Def (Fate x10) for >1800 eHP. Arthur's 54.2% WR, 33.3% pro pick: Resistance Boots, Dominance Ice, Shield Lost, Twilight Armor. Liu Bang hybrid: 618.5 HP, 38.5 Phys/27 Mag Def.

Prioritize CC duration. 2. Early Resistance Boots/Dominance Ice. 3. Vacuity x10 (0.6% CDR +37.5 HP). Augran (55.1%): Warrior Boots, Dominance Ice, Shield Lost, Cursed Helmet self-heal.

Tanks aren't glamorous. But they enable those 70% kill parts.

Warrior Duelists: Bruiser Builds That Brawl

Warriors like Augran run Fate (R +33.7 HP/+2.3 def), Harmony (B +45 HP/regen). Items: Warrior Boots, Dominance Ice, Crimson Banner. Scaling shines: 20% early dmg Vitality, Hunter true dmg.

Anti-heal vs sustain. 2. 25-30 resist + HP. 3. 64 Pierce for duels.

Support Arcana and Spells: The Unsung Heroes

Supports hit 1162+ HP +6-20% CDR. Yaria's 53.8% WR, 20.2% pick: Magic Boots, Fleeting Time, Holy Grail; Verdant Predator amps. Da Qiao loves CDR. Green: Void x10 (23 Phys Def) + Harmony.

Flash/Purify for roams. 2. 375 HP from Void. 3. Lvl2 ganks.

Supports win games quietly—trust me on that.

Tier Breakdowns, Common Screw-Ups, and Pro Secrets

Honor of Kings hero tier list chart

Tier lists (straight from data dives): S-Tanks Arthur/Dun/Augran (54.2-55.1% WR); Assassins Lam (54.9%); Marksmen Loong/Marco (55.3/53.6%); Mages Daji/Angela (54.7/53.3%); Supports Yaria (53.8%).

Big pitfalls? Overstacking stats without Pierce. Ignoring patches—like Oct 16 Sun ult drop from 200→180. Fix: Pierce every phase; grind 20 matches/hero over 52% WR.

Pro gems: Lam's 98% p/b on lvl2 red ganks; Loong 96% p/b; Rush Down comp (Charlotte/Lam/Daji/Marco/Yaria) at 68% WR.

(My take: Lam invade? Chef's kiss—editor's been there in ranked.)

Testing and Tweaking Your Builds Like a Pro

Practice mode for breakpoints. Track patches (Nov 2025, King's World Cup Sep 15-Oct 24). Master 2-3 S-tier per role; adapt to comps (counter Mar-Yaria Jing/Lam invade).
