Question: How to play Lian Po in King of Glory (Honor of Kings)?

Answer:

Lian Po (also known as Lianpo in the Chinese version, 王者荣耀) is a durable Tank hero primarily played in the Clash Lane (top/farm lane) or as a Roamer/Support. He excels at frontline initiation with strong crowd control (CC), skill-based immunity to CC, and sustained damage in team fights. His kit revolves around chaining dashes, smashes, and leaps to disrupt enemies while soaking damage.

Skills

Passive: Warrior’s Soul
Lian Po gains CC immunity (unstoppable) while casting skills. Entering combat builds Battle Spirit stacks, providing up to 20% damage reduction and 30% attack speed at max stacks. Out of combat, it heals him. Use this to dive fearlessly during engages.
Skill 1: Burst Ram
Dash forward, dealing physical damage and knocking up enemies hit. Every 2 basic attacks, the next is enhanced for extra damage. Core mobility tool—resets on successful Skill 2 hits.
Skill 2: Magma Slam
Channel a smash that damages and slows enemies in an area. Resets Skill 1 cooldown if it hits an enemy. Use to stick to targets and chain mobility.
Ultimate: Tremor Smash
Leap to a target area and smash the ground 3 times: first two slow and damage, the third knocks up in a larger area. Use Skill 1 or Flash mid-Ult to reposition for max CC.

Skill Priority: Max Skill 2 > Skill 1 > Ultimate (for resets and poke). Level 1: Skill 2 for wave clear.

Summoner Spell: Flash (for engages/escapes).

Core Combos

Lian Po’s strength is fluid chaining via Skill 1 resets:

Basic Poke/Clear: 1 > 2 > 1 (resets dash for poke or wave clear).
All-In Engage: 1 > 2 > Ult > 1 (dive, smash, leap-knockup, follow-up dash). Weave enhanced basics between.
Alternative: 1 > 2 > 1 > Ult (for longer chases).
Pro Tip: During Ult’s second smash, dash (1) to reposition and hit the third knockup on more enemies. Flash into Ult for surprise initiates.

Recommended Build (Tank/Roam Focus)

Prioritize cooldown reduction (CDR) early (aim for 30-40%), then tank stats. Adjust for enemy comp (e.g., more magic resist vs. AP-heavy teams).

Slot	Item	Why?
Boots	Boots of Fortitude / Resistance Boots	CDR + tankiness; swap for magic resist if needed.
Core 1	Ominous Premonition / Nightmare	Shield on low HP, massive sustain + CC extend.
Core 2	Spikemail / Longnight Guardian	Reflect damage, anti-burst.
Core 3	Axe of Torment / Siege Breaker	True damage, anti-heal.
Late	Overlord’s Platemail / Frigid Charge	Armor stack, slow on hit.
Flex	Succubus Cloak / Red Lotus Cape	Magic resist or burn DoT.

Arcana (Runes): 10x Fate (HP/AD), 10x Harmony (HP/CDR), 10x Vacuity (HP/energy). For Clash Lane damage: Mutation/Eagle Eye/Hidden.

Start: Meteor (early CDR/HP).

Gameplay Strategy

Early Game (Levels 1-4, Clash Lane/Roam)

Clash Lane: Start Skill 2 for fast clear. Poke with 1>2>1, build stacks on minions. Invade enemy buff if ahead. Rotate mid post-clear.
Roam: Ward river, gank mid/bot with 1>2 engages. Protect ADC.
Hit level 4 first for Ult ganks.

Mid Game (Towers/Dragons)

Roam aggressively: Use bushes for Flash-Ult dives on squishies. Build full stacks before fights via minion hits.
Objective control: Ult to knock enemies off dragons/towers.

Late Game (Team Fights)

Initiate: Flash > 1 > 2 > Ult > 1 to chain CC entire backline.
Peel: Bodyblock for carries, use passive immunity to eat CC.
Stay near team but lead engages. You’re unkillable with stacks—dive ADCs/Mages.

Tips:

Always hit Skill 2 to reset Skill 1—unlimited dashes if you land smashes.
Passive immunity lets you skill through stuns/silences.
Counters: Kite-heavy heroes (e.g., Hou Yi). Build anti-heal vs. lifesteal.
Weak vs.: Burst assassins if no items; position carefully pre-stacks.

Master Lian Po by practicing combos in training mode. He’s beginner-friendly but scales with mechanical chaining.
