Honor of Kings tier list - Every character ranked by their potential
MOBA can be especially difficult when you're trying to find the right hero, so we have compared all of them on the Honor of Kings tier list.
Get your MOBA urges in check, as Honor of Kings continues to be one of the games that spearhead the genre on mobile platforms. After gaining a considerable amount of fame in its homeland China, the title has seen mass acceptance in the West and Brazil, partly due to heavy similarities with another Tencent game Arena of Valor.
Being a diverse MOBA with 5 main roles to be played on the map, players are often left confused as to which heroes are currently “meta”. In this tier list, I have presented a complete list of all available characters and ranked them according to various factors that I see fit. Keep in mind that each hero possesses a unique skill set and gameplay style that may be suited for you but not for all players. Tier lists are made keeping in check what heroes the players at the highest elo (rank) are playing and succeeding with.
If you're playing other mobile MOBAs, you'd love the fact that we have covered the most popular ones. You can find the tier list for Mobile Legends and Wild Rift tier list that has been updated to the latest version of the game. But enough about that - let's take a closer look at the Honor of Kings tier list. That's why you're here, after all.
Honor of Kings is a difficult mobile MOBA game where you need to cooperate with your team members to seize objectives and finally break the opponent’s base to lock in the victory. A host of strategic decisions also influence the outcome of the game. Mastering a particular hero is not only sufficient but can also reduce the burden of victory on your team.
We have made this tier list in accordance with community feedback and the latest patch data, ranking the most loved heroes at the top by analysing their win rates. Go ahead and view the full Honor of Kings tier list by clicking the big blue button below!

| Sima Yi, Xishi, Yi Xing, Genghis Khan, Ge Ya, Shieldun, Zhu Bajie, Liu Shan |
If you like some out-of-body experiences, Sima Yi is the character you should try out! He scales like a beast, and deals some of the highest magic damage in the entire game. Sima Yi can be flexed in the jungle or the mid-lane, depending on the team. His 1st ability allows his soul to roam freely at a higher movement speed and bring along his body with him if he tags an enemy hero. His 2nd skill can wreak havoc on a group of enemies with an AOE-targeted silence and magic damage circle. Oh, and Sima Yi can also quite literally jump towards you from half a map distance, thanks to his ultimate ability. Right in the middle of the Honor of Kings tier list, we have Genghis Khan, which is a strong hyper carry but takes too long to scale into oblivion. He is preferred in the dragon lane, ideally with a support hero constantly guarding him due to his low mobility. To compensate, this guy packs some serious punch in the form of his stackable arrows that can even critical-hit enemies. His abilities are also quite long-ranged, making Genghis Khan one of the safest marksmen to play against assassins. Fond of landmines? Well, Genghis Khan loves them! His 2nd ability can entrap enemies in landmines that slow them, damage them, and reveal their location.

D Tier
- Tigerous
- Daji
Both Tigerous and Daji are consistently rated the worst by both win rate statistics as well as by community veterans, hence their spot at the bottom of the Honor of Kings tier list. While Daji is a decent point-and-click hero with little to no intricate mechanics, Tigerous is simply unusable in most situations due to extremely low damage multipliers and slow wave clear. Oh, and both the heroes are given for free. Coincidence? We hope not!
