Hero Information

Hou Yi

Class: Marksman

Chinese version name: 后羿

Hou Yi is the only heroic marksman in the world to be made an by superbeings and trusted to carry out their will. He was ordered to destroy the Sun Tower as atonement for the superbeings' enslavement of the ferali.
In his pursuit of destruction, the power-seeking sharpshooter felt inevitably drawn to the Sun Tower's brilliance and thus absorbed the Wonder's power, which cursed him to a deep slumber. When he woke up, the world was truly Hou Yi's hunting ground.

During this period, each hit will refresh the duration.
Each arrow causes 50% of the magic ball effect.

When it hits an enemy hero, it will stun him and cause an explosion, which will cause 700/1000/1300 (+90% physical bonus) physical damage to enemies within the range; enemy heroes directly hit by the flaming arrow will be stunned for 0.5~3.5 seconds depending on the flight distance of the flaming arrow, and the splash damage after the skill hits will cause a 90% slowdown for 1 second.

Tips and easy combos to learn

After triggering the passive punishment shooting, activating skill 1 - multiple arrows can maximize Hou Yi's normal attack output. After reaching level 4, always pay attention to changes on the field and use the ultimate skill to support teammates when necessary.
Release the ultimate skill from a long distance to actively start a team fight. Once it hits, you can focus fire on the enemy hero. Because the split arrows of the multiple arrows will only look for enemies in front of Hou Yi and within the range of the general attack, you need to adjust your attack direction when attacking so that the split arrows can hit the enemy as much as possible.
