Hou Yi Mechanics Explanation
The easiest way to understand the mechanics of this hero is actually by comparing them. Surely Vicigers Most of you here already understand the MOBA 'next door' which also comes from China, right?
Yep, that's why Vicigers here will try to compare it with the hero in MLBB only. That way, hopefully, you can have a clearer picture of the mechanics of the MM.
Simply put, he is an MM with a damage per second (DPS) output type. As an attack speed-based farmer, the most striking thing about this hero is his weapon, which is a bow and arrow.
Come on, is this it? Vicigers Can you guess which ML hero looks similar to Hou Yi? That's right: Miya! So similar, the author dares to say that both of them use the same sprite!
The only striking difference between the two is only seen in the Ultimate Skill. Unlike Miya, Hou Yi is a 'true' MM because all of his skills rely on the presence of projectiles - including his Ultimate.
Skill Details
Well, so that it's not just 'waiting in the air', it's better for VCGamers to also discuss Hou Yi's Skill in detail so that Vicigers also have a clearer picture. This MM hero has a total of three skills, with the following details:
- (Passive Skill) Chastising Shot
Hou Yi's basic attack has an additional attack speed and stack. If the stack is collected up to three (full), then each basic attack will get two additional projectiles.
- (Skill 1) Arrow Volley
Hou Yi's Skill 1 is very similar to Miya's Skill 1: giving a buff. When this skill is used, Hou Yi's damage will increase. Not only that, the MM's basic attack can also target up to two heroes!
However, to avoid being overpowered, the damage will be halved. So, each target will only get half of the total DPS that can be produced by his basic attack.
- (Skill 2) Afterglow
Houyi's Skill 2 is also very similar to Miya's Skill 2: giving a rain of arrows in a circular area of effect (AoE). If the enemy is hit by this skill, they will receive damage and also a slow effect.
In addition, this skill can also open vision/map – compensation for the absence of immobilize effects like in Miya's Skill 2. That way, the user can avoid ganking enemies hiding in the grass.
- (Ultimate Skill) Burning Sun Arrow
Well, as has been slightly 'touched' above, this is where the difference between Hou Yi and Miya is very visible. If Miya's Ultimate Skill is a debuff (disappears), then Hou Yi's Ultimate Skill is a burst damager.
MM's Ultimate Skill is actually more like Novaria's Skill 2: shooting projectiles from a distance. In addition to the projectile damage being multi-target, enemy heroes who are hit will also be stunned and slowed.
