All playable Heroes in Honor of Kings (HoK) (2024)

Honor of Kings, or commonly abbreviated as HoK, is a mobile Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) that is set to be launched globally on June 20, providing over 80 heroes with unique and exciting playstyles.

Currently, there are 87 playable characters (known as ‘Heroes’ in HoK) for five positions: Clash Lane, Mid Lane, Farm Lane, Jungling, and Roaming.

In Honor of Kings, heroes are generally divided into the following classes:

Assassin

Fighter

Mage

Tank

Marksman

Support

We've put together a full list of all Heroes in HoK, sorted by their official registered classes. Some heroes which are more dynamic can fit into multiple classes.

In HoK, assassin heroes combine high lethality and mobility to eliminate their enemy quickly, and sometimes stealthily. These heroes commonly fill the Jungling position, seeking for the right opportunity to eliminate their enemies.

Lam is currently the most popular (and probably the most hated) assassin in HoK, although, you won't see him often because he is almost permabanned across all ranks.

Being so slippery and lethal because of his Skill 2, he is near impossible to kite, leaving the opposite team's marksman in frustration. He is also considered an easy-to-play hero, with a simple kit that only consist of effectively using Skill 1 and Skill 2 to gain infinite dashes. If you like a more tanky assassin, we would recommend you to try semi-fighter like Wukong and Ying.

Wukong (also a ‘Fighter’)

Ying (also a ‘Fighter’)

Zilong (also a ‘Fighter’)

Fighter is a role that combines offensive and defensive, making them versatile to the team lineup. They are usually more balanced, or sometimes even weaker during the early game, but will shine during the late game.

Fighters, just like their name, are natural born duelists that excel in 1v1 situation. They are supported with sustain skillsets that allows them to fight as long as possible.

Fuzi, for example, has an Ultimate that locks down an enemy and forces them into a 1v1 situation, which plays into Fuzi's favor due his high attack speed and lifesteal.

How about taking on 1v2 or more, would a fighter still win? Semi-tank fighters, like Wuyan and Kaizer, have no fear being outnumbered because they are more defensive than a pure fighter hero like Fuzi.

Mage heroes in Honor of Kings, usually positioned on the Mid Lane, commonly rely on using abilities to deliver magical damage that produces high burst or area damage.

Sima Yi (also an ‘Assassin’)

Sun Bin (also a ‘Support’)

Xiao Qiao

Yuhuan

Zhou Yu

If you like someone with high burst damage that trigger 'Instakill', Mai Shiranui and Daji would be perfect. Although, these types of Mage relies heavily on combo, so make sure you accurately land all of your skill shots.

Poke mage is also popular, for example Milady and Mozi, who deals damage slowly but surely by spamming their abilities, but in expanse of your Mana. Buy items that boost your maximum Mana and/or Mana Regeneration to let you spam abilities non-stop.

My personal favorite would be control mages like Princess Frost and Lady Zhen. These two have AoE crowd control effects that are crucial during team fights, dealing damage to enemies while also help the support protecting marksman from assassin.

Tanks heroes are the most durable among all other classes. They usually act as the front-line to protect their teammates while absorbing damage from enemies, and are equipped with abilities to initiate teamfights.

Wuyan (also a ‘Fighter’)

Xiang Yu

Zhang Fei (also a ‘Support’)

Zhuangzi (also a ‘Support’)

Most of the tanks in HoK have similar kit and playstyles, so you might find it boring just being a massive meat shield. If you like to collect high number of kills while being a tank, try semi-fighter like Kaizer and Lu Bu who deal high sustain damage.

One tank hero I find fun to play is Sun Ce, who has a unique Ultimate that summon a ship that allows him and a teammate to sail across the map. Naturally, most of the tanks belong to Clash Lane, but a few of them would be more suitable as roamer because of their limited solo laning kit.

Zhuangzi and Zhang Fei, for example, have abilities like cleanse debuffs and give shields to their teammates, making them a waste if being used in Clash Lane.

Marksman heroes have high damage and range, with additionally high critical rate and attack speed. Commonly found in Farm Lane, marksman plays an important role as the team’s main damage dealer.

Marco Polo

Shouyue (also an ‘Assassin’)

For those who like simple marksman, Hou Yi definitely is the best choice. Hou Yi is an attack speed monster because of his passive and Skill 1, you just need to mind your positioning while kiting enemies from a far with your auto attack.

He is also one of the few marksman that have crowd control, with slow effect on his Skill 2 and stun on his Skill 2.

If you want someone more challenging, you will find yourself enjoying Marco Polo. Rather than keeping yourself safe, Marco Polo dives into the middle of team fight with Skill 2 and deal massive AoE damage with his Ultimate. Make sure to pair yourself with support heroes that can heal and shield to help you survives the teamfight.

Support heroes usually rely on the ability to deliver crowd control, heals, buffs, or debuffs that will help their teammates stay alive, get stronger, and take out the enemy.

These types of heroes usually fill the Roaming position, exploring the whole map to aid their teammates.

Cai Yan

Da Qiao (also a ‘Mage’)

Dolia

Donghuang (also a ‘Tank’)

Guiguzi

Kui (also a ‘Mage’)

Liu Shan (also a ‘Tank’)

Ming

Sun Bin (also a ‘Mage’)

Yaria

Zhang Fei (also a ‘Tank’)

Zhuangzi (also a ‘Tank’)

If you enjoy playing utility support, Dolia will definitely be the right one for you. Her Ultimate is one of the strongest in HoK and maybe in any Moba games, because she can reset her teammates Ultimate.

Combine her with Heroes with strong Ultimate Heino and Lu Bu, then you will be unstoppable in the teamfight. Heino, especially, has a unique Ultimate interaction that can only be delivered while partnering with Dolia.

Additionally, Dolia's Skill 2 is also no less useful, where she can leaps around, creates a small pond that can heal her teammates, while also passively healing herself when in the water (including the river).

If you prefer a support that can engage into a teamfight, I would recommend Donghuang as he can lock down enemy's assassin and marksman with his Ultimate. Although just like Lam, this hero has a high pick rate and ban rate.

In Honor of Kings (HoK) players can buy a hero using two types of currencies: Starstone and Token.

Starstone is a free currency that can be gained from playing matches and completing missions, while Token is a paid currency that can be gained from doing a top up with real money.

Each Hero’s price may vary from the range of 13,888 Starstones/468 Tokens to 18,888 Starstones/568 Tokens.

Additionally some selected Heroes can be obtained by exchanging 58 Hero Fragments, an item which also can be gained for free from playing matches and completing missions.

You can also use Hero Draw Voucher to randomly draw random Heroes, although the rate is quite low.

Players may also be able to temporarily unlock the Heroes they want to play by using All Heroes Free Trial Pass. This item allows the player to use any Hero for free by consuming one Trial Pass per match.
