Honor of Kings Chano Guide: Gameplay Tips

Early Game

Focus on your positioning while ensuring you constantly farm to level up and get your core items easily. Maximizing Chano’s Passive ability, Hunting, will give him an added advantage while he is farming and planning in the early game. To get the best out of Chano’s passive, do ensure you always position near brush (bushes).

Doing this grants extra movement speed, allowing you to surprise enemies with powerful double-shot attacks. While laning with Chano, use Soaring Signal to poke and harass enemies while staying at a safe distance. Harass enemies from the brush, knock them back with your enhanced basic attacks, and zone them from the farm.

Also, ensure that you place the Lupine Trap in a spot that the enemy will surely go through. Placing the trap well will help you trigger a Wolf Spirit, which will help you damage surrounding enemies. The best thing about this skill is that up to four traps can be placed, giving room for strategic gameplay.

Your primary focus in the early game is farming to level up and get your core damage items. Therefore, you should aim to secure lane dominance through calculated aggression and brush control, all while avoiding overextending.

Mid Game

By now, Chano should have at least one or two core items. His mobility and Crowd control become more threatening during teamfights. In this phase, prioritize using Soaring Signal to rotate between lanes, while poking enemies from the safety of a wall. Lupine Trap becomes great for zoning objectives, providing vision on surrounding enemies, and for setting ambushes.

In team fights, activate Leader Stance to Chano’s burst damage potential, as it increases your mobility while allowing you to kite enemies and reposition constantly. The added Wolf Spirit gives a mini frontline effect, as it is good for distracting enemies. Assist your team with vision control using traps, and help push towers with your enhanced attack speed.

Late Game

In the late game, Chano becomes a high-mobility, burst damage powerhouse on the Gorge. To get the best out of Chano, ensure to stick with your team and avoid overextending. Your ultimate ability, Leader Stance, should be saved for core team fights or critical pushes/defenses, as its 8-second buff window can melt enemy tanks and squishies alike.

Use Soaring Signal to reposition aggressively if an enemy backline is exposed or defensively if you’re being targeted. Place Lupine Trap around objectives like Overlord or Tyrant to provide vision and to actively zone enemy junglers attempting to contest it.

If played right, Chano can be a late-game carry monster who moves around the battlefield, dodging and dishing out damage relentlessly. The following skill combo will help out in the late-game phase of the game:

Skill 1 → Skill 2→ Enhanced Basic attacks → Skill 3 → Basic attacks

Final Thoughts

Chano’s ability to kite, burst, and outmaneuver enemies makes him one of the most fun and rewarding marksmen to master. When played right, Chano becomes a fast, elusive, and deadly marksman capable of dominating teamfights in seconds.

With the right Arcana, spell choices, and refined positioning, he can snowball from early game dominance to become a late-game damage powerhouse. With this Chano guide, you’re well on your way to dominating your matches and securing victory for your team in Honor of Kings.
