Honor of Kings Umbrosa Guide: Gameplay Tips

Early Game

Umbrosa can be used in the Jungle or Clash lane, due to her powerful sustain and damage potential. Unlock and use Umbrosa’s first skill to efficiently clear your minion waves/jungle creeps. Maximize using your ranged basic attacks to poke enemy targets, before swooping in to deal more damage with your enhanced melee attacks.

While facing enemies in the early game, start with your first skill to damage them and increase your basic attack speed. Then, you should follow up with your basic attacks for extra poke while marking the enemies. Use your second skill to deal extra damage to the marked enemies while engaging with them.

Focus on farming efficiently while harassing opponents to gain early lane/jungle objectives dominance. In the early game phase, you should aim to secure dominance through calculated aggression, all while avoiding overextending.

Mid Game

By mid-game, Umbrosa becomes a huge threat to low-mobility heroes and squishy targets. As her Skill 1 grants mobility to chase enemies, while Skill 2 spreads marks for explosive damage and sustain during ganks and teamfights.

As long as you focus on constantly marking enemies with your basic attacks before each crucial engagement, Umbrosa can quickly shred squishy targets like marksmen and mages. Umbrosa’s Ultimate ability should be saved for big fights or tower dives, giving her extra survivability and death immunity while the ability is active.

Do utilize the attack speed buff from your Ult to constantly lash out at enemies, comboing it with your skills to efficiently burst them down. Prioritize rotating across lanes to help allies with ganks and securing crucial objectives.

Late Game

Thanks to her second skill and ultimate ability, Umbrosa functions as a sustained damage fighter that’s very powerful during team fights. During teamfights, focus on targeting and eliminating backline squishy heroes with low mobility. Ensure to coordinate ganks with your roamer to give your team the edge during core fights.

Umbrosa’s survivability relies on good timing and outplay. Given that sometimes you might have to choose Dying only to get revived by your ultimate, rather than using your Ult right from the getaway. Ensure to assist your team to secure major objectives like Overlord or Tyrant, granting your team an edge in the late game phase.

If played right, Umbrosa can be a powerful late-game carry hero capable of dealing and sustaining attacks relentlessly. The following skill combo will help out in the late-game phase of the game:

Skill 1→ Basic Attacks→ Skill 2 → Basic Attacks→ Ultimate

Final Thoughts

Umbrosa is a high-pressure fighter who thrives on aggression, juggling her ranged and melee modes to overwhelm enemies. With the right Arcana, spell choices, and refined positioning, she can snowball from early game dominance to become a late-game damage powerhouse.

With this Umbrosa guide, you’re well on your way to dominating your matches and securing victory for your team in Honor of Kings.
