Here’s everything in our Honor of Kings tier list.
Overall Honor of Kings tier list
Here’s our overall HOK tier list, ranking every character currently available in the game. These rankings, and the rankings of the individual role tier lists below, are based partially on official data provided by HOK Camp (win, pick, and ban percentages), as well as our personal experience with the game.
Keep in mind that tier lists are meant to be used as a guideline only, and are subject to change with future patches and updates.
| Tier | HOK character |
| S | Angela, Dolia, Heino, Hou Yi, Lady Zhen, Lam, Luban No. 7, Prince of Lanling |
| A | Alessio, Allain, Biron, Consort Yu, Donghuang, Fang, Kaizer, Lady Sun, Li Xin, Luara, Marco Polo, Milady, Mozi, Musashi, Nakoruru, Princess Frost, Wukong, Yaria |
| B | Arli, Arthur, Butterfly, Cai Yan, Daji, Di Renjie, Dian Wei, Diaochan, Dun, Fuzi, Garo, Kongming, Kui, Li Bai, Lian Po, Liang, Liu Shan, Lu Bu, Mayene, Shangguan, Shouyue, Sun Ce, Xiao Qiao, Ying, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu |

Honor of Kings clash lane tier list
Characters best suited to clash lane are generally fighters or fighter-tank hybrids, as this position requires a fighter with both durability and high damage output, capable of dominating enemies, taking down mobs, and, occasionally, split pushing.
Here are the best HOK clash lane characters, ranked from S to D.
| Tier | HOK character |
| S | N/A |
| A | Allain, Biron, Kaizer, Li Xin |
| B | Arthur, Dun, Lian Po, Lu Bu, Mayene, Sun Ce |
| C | Ata, Charlotte, Dharma, Fuzi, Guan Yu, Mulan, Nezha, Wuyan, Xiang Yu, Yang Jian |
Honor of Kings mid lane tier list
Characters best suited to the mid lane are generally mages, due in no small part to their powerful ranged attacks. The midlane is a bit of a hotspot in terms of team fights, as it’s the shortest route between opposing crystals, so a mid laner’s main priority should be clearing minion waves and pushing as hard as possible in order to protect their own crystal.
Here are the best HoK mid lane characters, ranked from S to D.
| Tier | HOK character |
| S | Angela, Heino, Lady Zhen |
| A | Milady, Mozi, Princess Frost |
| B | Daji, Diaochan, Kongming, Liang, Shangguan, Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu |
| C | Dr Bian, Gan & Mo, Gao, Mai Shiranui, Nuwa, Yuhuan |
Honor of Kings farm lane tier list
Farm lane offers plenty of gold and exp, and the best characters for this lane generally fall under the marksman role. However, while marksman characters can dish out plenty of damage, they also have low HP, meaning that farm lane leaves you quite vulnerable, and relies on you executing well thought-out strategies, quick farming of enemy minions, and a little help from support characters – especially in the early game.
Here are the best HOK farm lane characters, ranked from S to D.
| Tier | HOK character |
| S | Hou Yi, Luban No. 7 |
| A | Alessio, Consort Yu, Fang, Lady Sun, Luara, Marco Polo |
| B | Arli, Di Renjie, Garo, Shouyue |
| C | Erin, Huang Zhong |
Honor of Kings jungle tier list
As the name implies, junglers focus on taking down jungle monsters in order to gain buffs, money, and EXP, then roam around the map, hopping into battles to help take down enemy heroes and crystals. Currently, the best characters for the jungle role are generally assassins or fighters, primarily due to their high DPS and damage output.
Here are the best HoK junglers, ranked from S to D.
| Tier | HOK character |
| S | Lam, Prince of Lanling |
| A | Musashi, Nakoruru, Wukong |
| B | Butterfly, Dian Wei, Li Bai, Ying |
| C | Agudo, Athena, Cirrus, Han Xin, Jing, Liu Bei, Luna, Menki, Pei, Sima Yi, Ukyo Tachibana, Zilong |
Honor of Kings roaming tier list
Roaming heroes, otherwise known as support heroes, play an important role in Honor of Kings matches – and it’s quite different from how supports generally work in LoL. Instead of sticking to one DPS, supports in this game roam around the map, getting vision of the map and enemy locations, then offering healing, buffs, and a helping hand to any allies that need it.
Here are the best HoK roamers (or the best HoK supports, if you prefer), ranked from S to D.
| Tier | HOK character |
| S | Dolia |
| A | Donghuang, Yaria |
| B | Cai Yan, Kui, Liu Shan, Zhang Fei |
| C | Da Qiao, Guiguzi, Ming, Sun Bin, Zhuangzi |
How do I unlock new Honor of Kings characters?
As with any MOBA, you can purchase Honor of Kings characters with in-game currency. However, there are plenty of other ways to snap up new heroes.
If you’re a new player, you can choose your first hero as soon as you install the game. Following that, there’s the New Player 7-Day Sign-in event, which allows you to obtain four heroes for free over the course of seven days. You can also draw heroes and skins for free in the shop using the honor points that you earn by completing new player missions.
After that, you can obtain more heroes through the following methods:
- Events – limited-time events like The Road to Greatness allow you to claim free characters upon completing certain tasks or hitting specific milestones, such as climbing rankings
- Make friends and play matches – if you add a friend then play three matches with them, you earn 100 diamonds and a bag of gold, which you can then use to purchase items and heroes from the in-game shop
Now that you know the best heroes through our Honor of Kings tier list, you might want to discover the best League of Legends: Wild Rift champions with our Wild Rift tier list. We also have an Anime Last Stand tier list if you’re after more rankings.
