Honor of Kings has been a China exclusive since 2015 and officially launched worldwide in June 2024. The mobile MOBA from developer TiMi Studio Group and publisher Tencent Games has a huge roster of playable heroes, but the best ones still stand out.

Like most MOBA games, Honor of Kings allows you to use different heroes with different roles. The usual 5v5 team setup of using a core hero alongside four other heroes is the name of the game, and the first to destroy the other team’s turrets and base crystals wins the match. Using the best hero choices in teams is crucial to carving your way to victory.

Here's our Honor of Kings hero rankings for July 2024, broken down by the heroes' roles in teams.

The Clash Lane role in Honor of Kings dictates the flow of turret push for a team, meaning that the Clash Laner should always focus on reaching the other team’s crystal as early as possible. You should use heroes that strike a good balance between offense and defense, as they will usually be fighting solo 1v1 battles against the other team’s Clash Laner, especially early in the game.
