There are four types of jungle knives in Honor of Kings, each of which has different attributes and functions. The Greedy Bite, also known as the red jungle knife, has always had the highest appearance rate, and jungle heroes with physical damage types will basically choose this equipment.
However, I don’t know when it started. The giant’s grip, that is, the meat jungle knife, has gradually become the mainstream. Part of the reason why Pei Qinhu exceeded the standard this season is the meat jungle knife. In addition to Pei Qinhu, there are several jungle heroes who have also given up their red jungle knives and replaced them with meat-producing jungle knives.
I still remember that a few versions ago, there was a heated debate about whether Dongfang Yao exceeded the standard or not. At that time, Dongfang Yao still produced a red jungle knife. Then the official weakened Dongfang Yao and reduced the damage-free ratio of his ultimate move. After this weakening, Dongfang Yao's winning rate of assassin equipment has plummeted, so Yao players gave up assassin equipment and switched to tank equipment.
Nowadays, Dongfang Yao's mainstream equipment has become meat equipment, and the jungle knives are all meat jungle knives. Grandmaster's power has been replaced by Ice Scar Grip, and the output equipment only retains a shadow battle axe.
Compared with the Yao equipped by assassins, although the burst damage of Yao equipped by tanks is much lower, the fault tolerance rate is much higher than that of output equipment. With the passiveness of the ultimate move and the attributes provided by the tank equipment, even if faced with a concentrated fire from five enemies, one or two complete sets of skills can be unleashed.
The first hero to give up the red jungle knife and use the meat jungle knife was Kai. When the hero Kai was first launched, it was positioned as a tank, so the players' equipment was all meaty. After a period of time, players discovered that output armor seemed to be more useful, as it could kill the skin in seconds with one strike, which was much easier to use than tank equipment. From then on, output armor became popular.
However, with the changes in the version, the armor itself has been weakened several times. Coupled with the changes in critical hit damage, the output armor began to be unable to meet its needs. Whether it is on the wing or in the jungle, its strength is very average.
Then some players once again developed the gameplay of jungle armor, which continues to this day, and meat armor is still the mainstream armor item. In fact, the official positioning of the armor is that of a tank, and meat armor is the most suitable equipment for the armor. Kai does not lack output. For him, as long as he can get close to the back row, he has the ability to kill the back row alone. Therefore, the current armored jungle knife is more suitable than the red jungle knife. The other equipment is also meat equipment, and there is no output equipment.
Tank equipment combined with the damage blocking of the armor's ultimate move and the blood recovery of a skill can make the armor have a very terrifying tankiness. Within eight seconds of having the ultimate move, even if the opponent's five people focus their fire, they will only scratch the armor. In addition, the jungle knife has another advantage for Armor, that is, it clears the jungle faster in the early stage, which can make up for the weakness of Armor in the early stage.
Cao Cao has undergone two major changes in the past two seasons. The first change added a long-range basic attack mechanism to the passive. This change has caused Cao Cao's appearance rate and winning rate to skyrocket. The second change was during this season's update, which changed some of Cao Cao's skill mechanisms. This change also made Cao Cao abandon the red jungle knife and switch to a meat jungle knife.
Nowadays, the recovery effect of Cao Cao's skills will be increased by extra health. This time, the meat jungle knife can not only improve Cao Cao's tankiness, but also improve the recovery effect of his skills.
In addition, Cao Cao, the hero, is very slow in the early stage because the basic damage is not high and the skill cooldown time is long. The jungle efficiency of the red jungle knife will be very slow. On the contrary, the meat jungle knife will clear the jungle faster. Therefore, the meat jungle knife has become Cao Cao's only choice for jungle hunting.
After all, this version is too deformed. For damage-dealing heroes, the benefits from tank equipment are higher than the benefits from output equipment. In this case, both assassins and warriors will choose to use meat equipment.
