How about the new version of Zhao Yun in Honor of Kings? In the latest version of Honor of Kings, Zhao Yun, as a warrior/assassin hero with both agility and explosive power, has once again become the focus of the battlefield. To play the new version of Zhao Yun well, players need to master its core skills and make full use of its skill characteristics to move flexibly and make precise cuts. The following will share with you the changes and gameplay ideas of Zhao Yun in the new version of Honor of Kings.
1. Changes to ultimate move
Zhao Yun's changes this time are mainly changes to his ultimate move. The cooldown time of the ultimate move in the later stage is increased by 3 seconds, but in exchange, half of the CD will be returned when the hero misses, and the initial CD remains unchanged. That is, when the cooldown is full in the later stage, the cooldown is only about 4 seconds if the ultimate move misses the hero.
2. Change analysis
Zhao Yun's ultimate move must be a great enhancement for the early stage. First of all, if Zhao Yun used his ultimate move to clear the jungle in the early stage, the CD of 18 seconds would make him miserable. Even with the existence of blue BUFF, the CD would be around 14 or 15 seconds.
The revised ultimate move has allowed Zhao Yun to qualitatively improve his speed in the early stage, both in clearing the jungle and on the road. It should be noted that what is mentioned here is that half of the CD will be returned when the hero is not hit, which means that half of the CD will be returned when hitting a wild monster or a minion.
Under this change, the maximum CD of Zhao Yun's ultimate move in the early stage of clearing the jungle is only 9 seconds. Even if he clears a jungle area, he can use two ultimate moves. When leaving the jungle area, the CD of his ultimate move is still good.
3. New gameplay ideas
The editor believes that changes like the ultimate move will make Zhao Yun less dependent on the entry of the ultimate move. For example, in a one-on-one duel with a warrior, you can use your ultimate move to approach the target instead of entering the battlefield with your ultimate move, then use a combo of one, two, to deal initial damage, and then use your ultimate move to compensate for the damage and control after getting close to the face.
Since Zhao Yun's main source of damage is his second skill, even in a one-on-one duel with a shooter or a mage, if his ultimate move misses, it will not make him lose his combat ability. His passive existence and the blood recovery of his second skill allow him to win the battle with the ultimate move. When approaching the shooter, he can quickly fire his second big move.
The changes in combat are actually mainly improvements in fault tolerance, and there is no substantial enhancement. But for farming and rushing, it is definitely a great enhancement for Zhao Yun. You must know that the distance of Zhao Yun's first skill is very short, and there are many walls that he cannot pass. After the ultimate move is revised, the ultimate move can be used as a displacement in the early stage.
Not only that, with the blue buff, Zhao Yun, who was the first to use the meteor, only had a CD of 6-7 seconds for his ultimate move in the early stage, which was even shorter than the CD of Li Bai's first skill. This change does not weaken the damage of the ultimate move. That is to say, an ordinary wild monster will basically die with one ultimate move and an enhanced normal attack. If it is buffed, it may only need to add two more skills.
The revised version of Zhao Yun's ultimate move has greatly increased his ability to farm money in the early stage. There are two reasons why Zhao Yun, a hero, has been criticized for his insufficient damage. First, due to the special nature of the mechanism, he can only deal high damage with his second skill when he has remaining health. Second, Zhao Yun himself is very weak in the early stage and his money farming is slow. In comparison, Heroes such as Lan and Yan also gain economy relatively slowly. When facing the C position, their economy is less and the damage is naturally less considerable.
