With a touch as light as silk and powers woven from the mysterious southern continent, mage hero Shi arrives in Honor of Kings as both a graceful presence and a deadly force.
Her mastery over distance-based attacks and intricate crowd control skills make her a powerful addition to the roster, allowing players to manipulate the battlefield with precision.
Known for the “gift” of fate that guides her every move, her abilities grow stronger the farther she is from her target, rewarding those who position strategically.
Her silken powers not only ensnare her enemies but also amplify her damage, making her a formidable threat whether initiating fights or supporting from the backline.
Dive into this ONE Esports guide to learn about her skill set and see how she can manipulate fate on the battlefield.
Shi’s skills in Honor of Kings
Passive – Maiden’s Trick
Shi’s skill damage increases with the distance between herself and the enemy. As the distance grows, so does her damage output.
- Shi’s skill damage increases with the distance between herself and her enemy.
- The farther her target, the stronger her output becomes, making her a threat even from a safe position.
- Mastering this passive requires strategic positioning to maximize her impact.
First skill – Silk Imprint
She throws an artifact to a target location, dealing magical damage to enemies in the area and pulling them toward the artifact. Silk will wrap around an enemy hero. If you tap again within a short time, the silk pulls the enemy a short distance.
- This skill allows Shi to control enemy positioning, disrupting their formation and creating opportunities for her team.
- Against opponents with high mobility, Shi can maintain a safe distance while preemptively casting Silk Imprint to draw enemies into her team’s control.
Second skill – The Silky Beauty
Shi releases an energy orb that stops upon hitting a monster, dealing magical damage over time to nearby enemies before exploding. After the first hit, repeated hits on the same target deal reduced damage.
- This skill is the mage’s primary tool for continuous damage and crowd control, setting up enemies for further attacks.
- In team fights, she excels in the backline, using The Silky Beauty to weaken enemies from afar.
Ultimate – Sole Focus
She enhances herself, gaining a greater field of vision and resetting the cooldown of The Silky Beauty. While enhanced, hitting an enemy with Silk Imprint allows her to control the enemy’s movement twice, and the cooldown of The Silky Beauty is halved.
- This ultimate ability amplifies Shi’s crowd control capabilities and damage output, enabling her to take full control of the battlefield.
- At level four, with Sole Focus unlocked, her potential as a crowd controller significantly increases, allowing her to look for solo kills or execute ambushes.
