Nezha is a global-presence Fighter in Honor of Kings. Known for his ability to dive backline carries from across the map, he excels at sticking to targets, dealing true damage, and mitigating enemy healing. He is the ultimate “anti-carry” hero.
Skill Breakdown
Passive: Scorching Ember
- The Shield: Every time Nezha deals damage with a skill, he generates a True Shield (a shield that ignores armor/penetration).
- Speed Boost: Hits trigger the “Wheel of Fire,” granting up to 25% bonus movement speed.
- Tip: Stay aggressive! As long as you are dealing damage, you are generating shields that make you deceptively tanky.
Skill 1: Fire-tipped Spear – Sweep
- Burn & Anti-Heal: A circular sweep that deals physical damage and leaves a burn effect. This burn deals True Damage and reduces enemy healing by 15%.
- Tip: This is your primary wave clear and stacking tool. The burn refreshes with any damage you deal, keeping the anti-heal active indefinitely during a fight.
Skill 2: Red Armillary Sash – Bind
- The Vault: Nezha flips over a target, dealing damage and gaining a True Shield.
- Mobility: This has a very short cooldown but a “per-target” internal timer.
- Tip: In a minion wave, you can use this like a dance—jumping from minion to hero to minion to stay mobile and keep your shields refreshed.
Ultimate: Universe Ring – Skyfall
- Global Dive: Nezha selects any enemy (hero, turret, or monster) and flies directly to them, knocking them back upon impact.
- Buffs: After landing, he gains significant Damage Reduction and Tenacity (CC resistance).
- Recast: If he hits a hero, he can dash behind them again within 3 seconds for another knockback.
- Tip: Use this to stop an enemy from recalling, to scout the map, or to instantly join a team fight from the opposite side of the world.
Core Combos
Counter Matchups
| Counter Hero | Why they win |
| Sun Ce | His boat provides similar global presence but with much harder crowd control. He can intercept Nezha’s dive or burst him down before the shields stack. |
| Lu Bu | Lu Bu deals massive True Damage that can bypass Nezha’s True Shields entirely, winning the duel in the late game. |
How to Counter Nezha:
- Group Up: Nezha excels at picking off isolated targets. If you stay near your tank, his dive becomes a suicide mission.
- Interference: High-burst mages can delete Nezha as he lands before his damage reduction and shields can fully ramp up.
- Turret Safety: If Nezha marks you with his Ultimate, run deep into your turret range. He is forced to fly to your location, often taking lethal tower shots.
