Honor of Kings Mid Lane tier list in Season 6

Honor of Kings (HoK) launched globally on June 20, bringing a new experience to mobile multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) enjoyers. For those who are ready to push their rank immediately, especially Mid Lane players, here’s the HoK Mid Lane tier list for Season 6.

Heino undeniably stands as the top Mid Laner in HoK for the past few seasons. He is one of those with the highest pick and ban rate among all of the heroes in HoK, not only in every rank, but also in the professional scene, and often makes appearances in Clash Lane and Farm Lane scenarios. 

Heino maintains a consistently strong early to late game presence thanks to his poking abilities, dashes, and short cooldowns. While his Ultimate has a lengthier cooldown compared to other Mid Laners, pairing him with Dolia can reset the cooldown. 

Mai Shiranui mirrors Heino with her long-range poke, dashes, and crowd control (CC) skills. Shangguan, a challenging hero, offers multiple dashes, self-untargetability, decent damage, and health restoration potential.

Ziya, the latest addition to the mage roster, is regarded as one of the most unique heroes in the game. This is thanks to his ability to surpass the standard level cap of 15. His passive allows him to level up faster than anyone, reaching up to level 25 while also granting one teammate the same benefit, making them both formidable powerhouses during the late game.

S-rank Mid Laners, like Angela and Princess Frost, provide simpler gameplay mechanics compared to those in S+, achieving popularity across all ranks. Princess Frost and Lady Zhen excel in teamfights due to their area-of-effect (AoE) hard-CC abilities.

Angela, while lacking strong crowd control skills, makes up for it with high damage, low cooldown abilities that can swiftly eliminate opponents and trigger an instakill.

Several A-rank Mid Laners share similar play styles to higher-tier heroes, however, they fall short in certain aspects. Gan & Mo rely on poke damage from their abilities, but lack significant crowd control except for a knock-back effect. 

Similar to Gan & Mo, Zhou Yu also lack in the CC aspects. However Zhou Yu makes up for this with his high damage-over-time (DoT) skills in wide areas. Diao Chan focuses on swift movement like Shangguan, albeit with a shorter range. 

Yuhuan is a bit unique and can offer balanced gameplay, with moderate long-ranged damage and healing abilities, serving as a secondary support in team fights. She is also a versatile hero who could be used as a Jungler and Roamer.

Most heroes in this tier, except for Milady, struggle to gain popularity despite their strengths. Some heroes, like Kongming and Da Qiao, find more success in other lanes – Kongming in the Jungle and Da Qiao as a Roamer. With the exception of these two heroes, the other Mid Laners on this tier have little to no escape skills

Daji, similar to Angela, can deal high burst damage with well-executed combos. Meanwhile, Dr Bian's DoT and healing abilities enhance his team support. Nuwa boasts a powerful global Ultimate despite slow-casting animations.

C-rank Mid Laners are considered weaker than other Mid Laners, making it hard to win the laning phase unless you are very confident in your skills.

Gao, Liang, and Xiao Qiao have no dash skills and are lacking in the mobility aspects, making it harder to roam around the map and help other lanes when needed.

But don’t worry. Some of them are still viable on other lanes. Mozi and Liang are good Roamers because of their annoying hard CC. Sima Yi, on the other hand, can be used as a Jungler because of his high burst damage and mobility.
