Fuzi (Master Laozi) is a fighter in “Honor of Kings” who is particularly effective against heroes that rely on simple attacks because of his unmatched single-target control and special ability to reflect and lessen damage. Increasing his control, damage reduction, and reflection mechanics is the main focus of customizing his equipment build, which will increase his effectiveness in duels and team battles. Fuzi’s defensive prowess enables his side to outlast and successfully counter opponents, gaining advantages through strategic dexterity.
Suggested Combo Order
To delay and drag the adversary back, use Skill 1. Then, use Skill 3 to tie the enemy. Finally, use Skill 2 to add basic attack damage and decrease incoming damage.
Fuzi Proficiency and Capabilities
Ancient Wisdom (Passive): Master Laozi gains one point of admonition value for each of his basic attacks, making a total of five points. He has a five-second enhanced effect when stacks are full. Enhancement: 25% attack speed and 60 movement speed are increased, 60 true damage is dealt by basic attacks, and each attack shortens the cooldown of Reasoning by Analogy and Sage’s Admonition by one second.
Cost: 0 Cooldown: 0s
Advice: Attack opponent heroes when fully piled for explosive combat power after accumulating the passive enhancement effect through basic attacks on minions or monsters.
Corporal Punishment (Skill 01): Master Laozi swings his ruler, drawing hit foes toward him. He then reduces their movement speed by 25/30/35/40/45/50% for 1.5~2.5 seconds and does 200/240/280/320/360/400 (+80% physical attack) physical damage. Cost: 0; Cooldown: 8s
Advice: This is the primary control and retention technique used by Master Laozi. Be mindful of the casting’s direction and distance from the adversary.
Intuition (Skill 02): For two seconds, Master Laozi decreases incoming damage by 45/49/53/57/61/65% and speeds up his movements by 25/28/31/34/37/40%. He also reflects damage and slows down enemy heroes’ movement by 30% for two seconds when they use their basic attacks. Each enemy can only cause this damage once, and it includes on-hit effects. Passive: Every basic attack has a 25% chance of happening twice, with the second attack applying on-hit effects and doing 50% damage. Cost: 0; Cooldown: 8s
Advice: Casting it at the appropriate time can significantly increase Master Laozi’s fighting effectiveness, making it a vital skill in face-to-face combat.
Sage’s Might (Ultimate): Master Laozi rushes in a designated direction, binds the first enemy hero struck to the lantern, preventing them from leaving its range for five seconds, and does 400/500/600 (+112% physical attack) physical damage. The impacted hero’s damage output is 20% less throughout this period.
Cost: 0 Cooldown: 45/40/35s
Tips: Master Laozi and his friends can murder adversaries with the help of this powerful control effect, which makes it a nightmare for squishy heroes captured by him. Since it is a skillshot, its efficient use depends on a precise assessment of the enemy’s movement.
Employing Methods
Because of his prowess in 1v1 situations, Master Laozi is a potent split-pusher who can divert the enemy’s attention in the middle to late game. He uses skillshots, which necessitate accurate execution by anticipating the enemy’s movements.
Best Partners for Fuzi
Da Qiao: Master Laozi can split-push well with Da Qiao because he is skilled in solo duels. The adversary is unlikely to defeat Master Laozi if they only send one hero to protect. A 4v2 scenario is created elsewhere if they send two. Additionally, Da Qiao’s ultimate can enable him escape or call forth Master Laozi.
Li Bai: When it comes to solo lane pressure, Master Laozi excels. He may not have the damage output in the early to mid-game to easily kill other heroes, but after he hits level 4, he has enough control. Master Laozi’s ultimate allows Li Bai to be set up for easy kills by defensively eliminating minion waves beneath the tower and working with Li Bai to capture pressing adversaries.
The Fuzi Counter
When Master Laozi enters the battlefield to attack the backline, Xiang Yu can easily displace him.
Sun Shangxiang can effectively kite Master Laozi thanks to her mobility.
Countermethods
Avoid Master Laozi’s control abilities by placing yourself nimbly; squishy heroes should stay a safe distance away in order to deal damage.
Strategy for Team Combat
Master Laozi’s role in team battles changes depending on his build. While a damage-oriented build necessitates that he keep an eye out for chances to target the opponent backline, a tankier build enables him to withstand damage and output in the heart of the battle.
Strategies for Playing Games
Detail 1: For efficient enemy management, combine Skill 1 and Skill 3.
Detail 2: Skill 2 works especially well against heroes who use Basic Attack to do physical damage.
