Honor of Kings/Lan Ling Wang

Lan Ling Wang

Assassin

An illusion assassin whose shadow clone doubles his damage output and whose dagger marks a target for a guaranteed follow-up stun.

Strengths

  • His 1 summons a clone that mirrors his attack, doubling his effective burst on a single target.
  • His 2 marks enemies — hitting a marked target again stuns them and heals him, rewarding sustained pressure on one target.
  • His stealth ultimate lets him vanish, reposition, and then burst in with bonus attack speed for a clean pick.

Abilities

  • Passive · Art of Mastery — Moving toward an enemy hero grants him bonus move speed.
  • 1 · Art of Clones — Slashes nearby enemies with his blade-fist for physical damage, while a shadow clone attacks a random nearby enemy for equal damage.
  • 2 · Art of Shadow Erosion — Throws a shadow dagger in a direction for physical damage and a heavy decaying slow; marks enemies hit for 3 seconds — hitting a marked target again stuns them and heals him, and the mark deals bonus damage based on missing HP when it expires.
  • Ultimate 1 · Art of Shadow Strike — Charges in a direction, dealing heavy physical damage to enemies in the path.
  • Ultimate 2 · Art of Concealment — Prepares briefly, then goes invisible for 30 seconds, gaining move speed on entering stealth and bonus attack speed for 5 seconds after breaking it; staying too close to an enemy for 3 seconds breaks the stealth early.

Recommended Build

Build 1: Pursuit Edge → Boots of Resistance → Shadow Battleaxe → Thorned Armor → Famed Blade · Siming → Champion's Warplate

Tip: Lan Ling Wang needs to snowball an early lead — Shadow Battleaxe's stats fit that plan perfectly.

Build 2: Guardhound Axe → Fleetfoot Boots → Shadow Battleaxe → Frostbound Grip → Witch's Cloak → Champion's Warplate

Tip: Fleetfoot Boots greatly boosts his roaming and ambush potential; against a slower-paced game with a heavy enemy front line, mix in some defensive items so his dives don't cost too much.

Recommended Inscriptions

Inscriptions: Mutation, Hawkeye, Concealment

Tip: As an assassin who leans on short bursts of high skill damage in a rising rhythm, armor penetration and physical damage give him the most value — Mutation and Hawkeye both add penetration plus damage, and Concealment adds high physical output plus mobility.

Hero Relationships

Best with: Musashi, Zhuge Liang Counters: Luban No.7, Li Bai Countered by: Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang

Team Composition

A suggested 5-lane lineup built around Lan Ling Wang, based on hero partnerships and role synergy — not win rate.
