🎮Honor of Kings (HoK) Classification
Like other MOBA games, HoK features playable heroes classified by their roles. The Mid Lane is dominated by Mages, and these mages are further categorized based on playstyles: Artillery Mage, Formation Mage, Ambush Mage, Control Mage, and Crowd Control Mage.
🌟Now, presenting 5 HoK Mid Lane Heroes for Beginners:
1.Angela
- Flame Incantation (Passive): Skills increase Movement Speed and deal damage when hitting enemies.
- Scorching Barrage (Skill 1): Unleashes multiple fireballs for multi-phase damage.
- Chaos Cinder (Skill 2): Fires a massive fireball in the target direction, dealing damage and inflicting stun and slow.
- Blazing Brilliance (Ultimate): Channels a blazing beam in the target direction, dealing damage over time. Also gains a shield and immunity.
- Author's Note: Master Angela by quickly executing Skill 2 + Skill 1 + Ultimate combos for massive burst damage. Angela is one of HOK's easiest heroes, recommended during the tutorial phase. With crowd control in Skill 2 and immunity/shield in her ultimate, she's a force to be reckoned with. As an Artillery Mage, her AoE skills and low cooldown make farming easy. Ensure you land all combos swiftly to take down enemies. Don't hesitate to use her ultimate for damage and survival, as its cooldown is relatively low.
2.Princess Frost
- Frozen Heart (Passive): Leaves combat to gain a shield that chills attackers on damage. When the shield disappears, it damages nearby enemies. Every third Basic Attack is enhanced for extra damage and chill effects.
- Shattered Ice (Skill 1): Damages and slows enemies in the target area while granting vision.
- Frigid Prison (Skill 2): After a brief delay, freezes enemies in the target area and slows them. Attacks on frozen targets deal extra damage.
- Winter is Here (Ultimate): Continuously damages and slows enemies in the target area.
- Author's Note: The key to playing Princess Frost is freezing enemies with Skill 2. Combine Skill 1 and Ultimate to make it easier to land Skill 2. As one of the best Crowd Control Mages in HOK, all her skills deal slowing effects, and Skill 2 has a long freeze duration. However, she has low mobility and survivability, making her an easy target for enemy assassins. Position safely during teamfights and have your Roamer protect you.
3.Milady
- Mechanical Minions (Passive): Summons a mechanical minion on enemy unit defeat. Minions explode at the end of their lifespan, dealing area damage.
- Air Superiority (Skill 1): Commands her aircraft to move in the target direction, dealing damage. Using it again splits the aircraft, dealing damage and inflicting slow.
- Forced Invasion (Skill 2): Summons mechanical minions in the target area, dealing area damage before automatically attacking nearby enemies.
- Chaos Field (Ultimate): Marks a target enemy or structure, damaging them over time. Non-structures are stunned and slowed. Enhances nearby mechanical minions. Marks explode on expiry, dealing damage proportional to the damage taken.
- Author's Note: Milady is an easy Mid Lane Hero that doesn't require much aiming skill. Use Skill 2 to summon robots that attack enemies and turrets and protect from skill shots. She's a good split pusher who can destroy enemy turrets without minion waves. Recommended for beginners, Milady doesn't need precise aiming. Her Skill 2 summons robots that chase enemies, and her ultimate has an on-hit stun effect. Her common combos are Ultimate + Skill 2 + Skill 1. Choose targets wisely as her ultimate can only mark one enemy. Another way to play is to split push and destroy turrets using her robots and ultimate.
4.Xiao Qiao
- Encouraging Thoughts (Passive): Becomes enhanced when skills hit, gaining Movement Speed.
- Blossoming Fan (Skill 1): Throws a fan in the target direction that returns on reaching max range, damaging enemies on both paths.
- Honeysweet Breeze (Skill 2): Deals damage to enemies in the target area and launches them.
- Meteor Storm (Ultimate): Summons meteors, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
- Author's Note: Xiao Qiao is a simple and direct Mid Laner with short skill descriptions. Knock enemies with Skill 2 and follow up with Skill 1 and Ultimate. Her abilities are easy to understand compared to others. Her gameplay is similar to Angela, relying on accurate combos and bonus movement speed. Skill 1 is useful for clearing minion waves, and her ultimate is great for teamfights, combined with her movement speed for kiting.
5.Liang
- Power Word - Trance (Passive): Every second hit on the same target within a short time deals extra damage.
- Power Word - Barrier (Skill 1): Summons 4 barriers that shatter on enemy touch, inflicting damage, stun, and slow. Reduced effects for multiple barrier touches.
- Power Word - Fate (Skill 2): Summons a magic circle that deals damage and grants vision. Liang gains Movement Speed inside.
- Power Word - Control (Ultimate): Suppresses an enemy hero, dealing damage over time. Completes with damage and stun to enemies in range.
- Author's Note: Liang is a Mage who can be used as Mid Laner or Roamer. He has a powerful ultimate with suppression, an uncancellable CC that immobilizes enemies for a long duration. As one of HOK's best Crowd Control Mages, he has two hard CCs in Skill 1 and Ultimate. His ultimate is especially strong, and Skill 1 summons walls that slow and stun. Liang is a multi-role hero who doesn't need aiming skills. Skill 2 automatically hits nearby enemies, and the ultimate is an on-hit skill that targets an enemy hero.
