Honor of Kings/Pei Qinhu

Pei Qinhu

Assassin

A shapeshifting assassin who alternates between a chi-focused human form and a savage tiger form, executing low-HP targets in either.

Strengths

  • His passive stacks bonus magic damage on repeated basic attacks within a short window.
  • His shield ability also deals damage and empowers his attack speed while it holds.
  • His ultimate switches stance and empowers his next two hits, dealing more damage the lower the target's HP.

Abilities

  • Passive · Inch Force — In human form, basic attacks release a chi wave for bonus magic damage that stacks up to 3x within 3 seconds; hits restore energy.
  • 1 · Palm Strike / Tiger Bite — Human form: fires chi in a direction for magic damage plus bonus damage scaling with the target's current HP, and a 50% slow. Tiger form: bites a target for physical damage plus bonus damage on their missing HP; a kill from this refunds energy.
  • 2 · Guard Stance / Tiger Charge — Human form: bursts chi around himself for magic damage and gains a shield for 5 seconds that also deals repeated magic damage to nearby enemies and boosts his attack speed. Tiger form: charges in a direction for physical damage, with a chance to bounce off terrain for a follow-up leap and more damage.
  • Ultimate · Tiger's Roar — Switches to Tiger form, gaining bonus move speed and empowering his next two attacks — a pounce for physical damage and a heavy slow, then a chi blast in a cone. Switches back to Human form on recast, again with a speed burst and an empowered energy-blast basic.

Build 2: Pursuit Edge → Boots of Haste → Shadow Battleaxe → Endless Blade → Grandmaster's Might → Champion's Warplate

Tip: A brutal penetration build makes his early damage explosive, letting him dominate the jungle almost unopposed.

Recommended Inscriptions

Inscriptions: Mutation, Hawkeye, Concealment

Tip: Early armor penetration lets him ignore most enemies' base armor, while move speed and attack speed sharply improve his jungle-clear efficiency.
