Choosing the best marksmen in Honor of Kings can help you win more games and push rank easily.
When it comes to climbing the ranks in Honor of Kings, selecting the right hero can make all the difference, especially for heroes in the farm lane.
Marksmen heroes are usually played in this lane and are responsible for amassing gold and experience to become the team’s primary damage dealer and carry. With so many heroes to choose from, the task can be overwhelming.
ONE Esports sought advice from one of the top Honor of Kings teams in the world to find out which are the best marksmen in Honor of Kings to choose to push rank.
Black Shrew Esports lists the 3 best marksmen in Honor of Kings for climbing the ranks
1. Loong
For players looking to dictate the flow of the game, Loong is undoubtedly one of the best marksmen in Honor of Kings.
Honor of Kings Invitational Season 2 champions LGD Gaming, now known as Black Shrew Esports, highlights mobility as a critical factor in rank climbing as a marksman, and Loong excels in this area.
“Heroes with high mobility can easily engage or disengage from fights, dodge enemy skills, and apply pressure across the map, which is essential for controlling the pace of the game,” Black Shrew Esports told ONE Esports.
His high mobility allows him to engage in and disengage from fights with ease, making him a difficult target for enemies to pin down.
Loong’s abilities not only grant him superior positioning in team fights but also allow him to kite effectively, keeping enemies at bay while dishing out consistent damage.
2. Arli
Black Shrew Esports listed Arli as one of the best marksmen in Honor of Kings. She is a marksman who embodies mobility, one of the key attributes Black Shrew Esports emphasizes for rank climbing.
Arli excels in dealing sustained damage from a distance while maintaining enough mobility to reposition herself in critical moments.
Her kit allows her to be effective in both team fights and one-on-one duels, making her a consistent threat throughout the game.
3. Lady Sun
Lady Sun is another hero that Black Shrew Esports considers as one of the best marksmen in Honor of Kings.
“Lady Sun has exceptional mobility compared to other marksmen, allowing her to reposition quickly during fights and escape dangerous situations,” Black Shrew Esports explained to ONE Esports.
They added that her mobility makes her harder to catch and allows her to kite enemies effectively. Her abilities also have strong area-of-effect (AOE) damage, which makes her highly effective in team fights.
“She can deal significant damage to multiple enemies at once, making her a threat even in crowded [fights],” Black Shrew Esports added.
In ranked games, where team fights often dictate the outcome, Lady Sun’s ability to deal significant damage to multiple enemies at once makes her a game-changer.
