Honor of Kings has 5 roles. Here's what each one does:
Difficulty: Medium Heroes: Bixi, Lian Po, Arthur, Sun Ce
Your job: soak damage and start fights. Stand in front of your team and disrupt the enemy formation.
Pro tip: Freeze the minion wave near your tower. Let the enemy push, then your jungler can gank easily.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard Heroes: Diaochan, Angela, Menki, Zhou Yu
Your job: clear waves fast, then roam to side lanes. Every time you clear mid wave, you have 10-15 seconds to help top or bottom.
Pro tip: Always contest the river spirit. It gives your whole team extra gold and XP.
Difficulty: Hard (positioning required) Heroes: Hou Yi, Luban No.7, Marco Polo, Gongsun Li
Your job: farm safely in early game, carry in late game. Do NOT die in the first 5 minutes.
Pro tip: Last-hit every minion. A single missed minion wave is 150 gold lost.
Difficulty: Hardest Heroes: Han Xin, Li Bai, Han Shin, Jing Ke
Your job: clear jungle camps, gank lanes, secure objectives (Dragon and Tyrant).
Pro tip: Path from blue buff to red buff, then gank the nearest lane at Level 4.
Difficulty: Medium Heroes: Cai Wenji, Sun Bin, Zhang Fei, Niunai Tuan
Your job: provide vision, peel for carries, and control the map with roams.
Pro tip: Buy the roaming item first, then stick with your jungler for the first 2 minutes.
