Honor of Kings Haya Guide: Gameplay Tips
Early Game
Proceed to the Mid Lane while using Haya. In the early game, you should focus on safe laning by constantly poking enemies on the battlefield. Use your Skill 1 to effectively clear waves and harass enemies by marking them for bonus damage. Ensure to conserve how you use Haya’s moon crystals, as overusing your Skill 1 and Skill 2 will force them into cooldown early.
Before using Haya’s Skill 2, ensure to mark enemies beforehand with your first skill to stun the ones hit by the skill’s attack. Avoid engaging too deeply early on, and instead, you can focus on farming, poking enemy targets, and rotating across lanes to assist your team’s carry whenever possible.
Mid Game
Mid-game is where Haya becomes much more threatening on the Gorge. You can easily spam her abilities, while gaining an edge over enemies you mark with her skills. This, in turn, gives you strong damage potential during rotations and jungle fights in the mid-game. Haya’s ultimate ability brings lots of utility to the battlefield, giving room for genius outplays with her.
The ability allows you to link to an enemy safely, reducing incoming damage, while greatly boosting your offensive capabilities. Once inside the Mirage, your reduced cooldowns allow you to spam skills and effortlessly control teamfights. Therefore, focus on joining major teamfights, while utilizing your ultimate ability to pickoff overextended squishy heroes, and safely disengage before enemies can take you down.
Late Game
In late game teamfights, you must rely on smart positioning and timing. You should stay behind the frontline and focus on punishing marked enemies with her enhanced Skill 1 damage. You should also ensure to use your ultimate ability to lock onto priority targets like enemy mages or marksmen, making it easier to take them down.
Ensure to assist your team to secure major objectives like Overlord or Tyrant, granting your team an edge in the late game phase. The following skill combo will help out in the late-game phase of the game:
Skill 1→ Skill 2→ Skill 3→ Spam your Skill 1 and Skill 2 repeatedly
