Honor of Kings: World PvE Hero Tier List
A source-bound community ranking for PvE progression. It reflects the supplied China-server assessment, not official global balance data or a final global-release tier list.
Source material: user-supplied China-server community tier list and evaluation notes.
Tier placement is opinion-based and balance-sensitive. Terms such as Break, Toughness, Super Armor, and Time Slow follow the supplied China-server PvE discussion; no global-release availability or balance claim is implied.
Tier list at a glance
T0
Jialuo
Jialuo is rated as top-tier ranged burst DPS. Alongside Kai, Hua Mulan, or Dongfang Yao, she can convert a Break window into a full burst rotation and then swap out. The supplied assessment gives her extra value after a Boss’s Toughness gauge is broken, while ranged positioning also lets her avoid many incoming attacks.
Sun Bin
Sun Bin is rated as a top-tier support and a team-wide energy battery with Time Slow. The source recommends using his Ultimate after a Break: his strength is extending the Break window. Unlike the original Honor of Kings version, the supplied notes say this Time Slow is not a Silence; it directly slows Boss actions. That can change the attack rhythm, so teammates using simplified effects may need to adjust their dodge timing.
T0.5
Xi Shi
Xi Shi is described as an all-purpose support: she groups enemies, restores HP, and fits many teams, including the Child of the Primal Flow, Hua Mulan, and Meng Ya. In this version, the field she throws provides both a damage increase and healing, making her particularly flexible for PvE parties.
Kai
Kai is rated as a strong Break specialist. He retains a block/parry identity and gains Super Armor through his Ultimate. The supplied notes distinguish this version from the original game by treating him as a defense-scaling fighter-tank rather than a pure damage dealer.
Hua Mulan
Hua Mulan is powerful but execution-heavy. She rotates between Lightblade and Heavyblade Forms; Heavyblade still emphasizes charged damage. Her output is strong, but the source does not recommend her for beginners unless they are prepared to learn the full rotation.
T1
Child of the Primal Flow
The Child of the Primal Flow is a balanced melee DPS with a particularly good early-progression experience. The supplied assessment considers the hero a dependable damage choice across the board rather than an extreme specialist.
Meng Ya
Meng Ya is smooth and comfortable in the open world, but the source notes that grenade targeting can miss at long range. The comparison with Jialuo centers on Break windows: Jialuo delivers higher post-Break burst and has higher base attack, while Meng Ya is expected to approach parity later with roughly 80% penetration.
Wang Zhaojun
Wang Zhaojun is a shield support who can protect Jialuo during early progression. Her shield can inherit damage bonuses from equipment, but the source cautions that it is relatively thin early on.
Master Luban
Master Luban is another shield support. His shield is not as substantial as Wang Zhaojun’s, but he can increase critical-hit damage, making him a useful alternative when the party needs offensive support.
T2
Dongfang Yao
Dongfang Yao is execution-heavy and has modest early damage. Because key talents unlock later, the supplied assessment finds his early-progression experience weaker than the Child of the Primal Flow’s despite his more elaborate toolkit.
Leng Chun
Leng Chun is a two-form melee hero. In the source notes, the Demon Form gains damage as HP drops, while the Healer Form restores HP. The comparison is to a low-HP brawler, but the guide notes that post-adjustment tuning brought the two-form kit back toward a normal power level. It remains playable, just not a top early recommendation.
