Honor of Kings
Guides
Here are our recommendations for strong yet easy-to-use Farm Lane Heroes in Honor of Kings (HoK) that are perfect for beginners.
Honor of Kings (HoK), like other MOBA games, features playable heroes classified based on their role. One of these positions is the Farm Lane, similar to the Marksman or Carry role in other games.
Although Farm Lane Heroes in Honor of Kings have one similarity which is a ranged attack, they do have different gameplays, from those who just need to sit tight at the backline while dealing damage, to the opposites who need to risk themselves and jump into the middle of teamfight.
These are 5 HoK Farm Lane Heroes that are recommended for beginners.
1. Hou Yi
Author’s Note: Hou Yi is a very simple marksman that relies on basic attacking. Combine his Passive and Skill 1 to kite enemies from a safe position, and use his Ultimate to engage or disengage.
Hou Yi is one of the easiest Heroes in the game, as players have to be able to play him to some extent to finish the tutorial phase.
Compared to other Farm Lane Heroes, Hou Yi’s skill sets are very simple and easy to understand: Skill 1 that boosts Basic Attack Speed and can hit multiple targets, Skill 2 that slows and deals AoE damage, and a global Ultimate that deals CC.
To play Hou Yi, you just need to kite your enemies using auto attack while also minding your positioning. Build him around items and arcana that gives attack speed and basic attack boost.
2. Di Renjie
Author’s Note: Di Renjie relies on optimizing his passive stacks to gain extra attack speed and movement speed. Try reaching maximum stacks to make it easier to kite enemies, and use Skill 2 to escape from debuffs and CC.
Di Renjie’s play style is very similar to Hou Yi – both have their Passive and Skill 1 that boost their basic attacks. Di Renjie is considered as harder to play because he has to keep his stacks at five to optimize his passive, while Hou Yi only needs three.
One of Di Renjie’s strong points is a self-purifier on his Skill 2 that makes him able to escape from CC and remove debuffs. When building Di Renjie, ones usually go for attack speed and a little bit of tank items to increase his survivability.

3. Lady Sun
Author’s Note: Lady Sun uses her low-cooldown Skill 1 to deal damage while also kiting her enemies. Use it effectively to position yourself better during teamfight, and use your passive to reduce its cooldown.
Lady Sun is a Farm Lane Hero with high mobility, having a low-cooldown Skill 1 that makes her able to roll around and pass through certain terrain while also enhancing her next basic attack. You can also reduce the skill’s cooldown further by hitting your basic attack.
Use Skill 2 in teamfights to sunder enemies so you may maximize your damage output. Her Ultimate, although has a long range and low cooldown, is the least useful of her skill sets because it has no other effect other than dealing AoE damage.
4. Consort Yu
Author’s Note: Consort Yu is a scaling Farm Laner that masters the art of dueling. Build her Attack Speed to gain permanent enhancement on Skill 1 and Ultimate.
Consort Yu is another Farm Lane Hero that relies on Attack Speed, but not only to boost her basic attack, but also to permanently empower her Skill 1 and Ultimate.
Her Skill 1 deals a massive damage to a straight line, making it easier for players to farm while also hitting enemy Heroes hiding behind minions. Additionally, her Skill 2 gives her upper hand when dueling with the enemy’s Farm Laner, thanks to the physical damage immunity.
Her Ultimate is also a strong addition to her dueling power. But since it’s a single target ability, it is not recommended to be used to jump into the middle of teamfight, unless you are very confident.
5. Shouyue
Author’s Note: Shouyue is a master sniper that bursts enemies from afar using his Skill 2. However, he needs to stand still most of the time, so make sure to mind your surroundings.
Shouyue is a bit different from the rest of Farm Laners in this list. While the others mostly rely on their basic attack and kiting abilities, Shouyue only uses one skill most of the time – Skill 2. It’s not even an exaggeration if we say Shouyue only needs Skill 1 to win a laning phase.
His Skill 2 can burst an enemy Hero from afar. Sometimes you only need three clean hits to eliminate an enemy. However, you need to be very good at skillshots to optimize this Hero’s potential.
His Ultimate can be used to escape from enemies’ flanks, but do note that this skill has a rather long cooldown. While his Skill 1’s active is worthless, the skill’s passive is useful to boost your Skill 2’s damage.
Di Renjie, Lady Sun, and Consort Yu are considered asS-rank Farm LaneHeroes during the season. Stay tuned onesports.ggfor more HoK Heroes recommendations, guides, news and more!
