The dynamic fighter Zilong (Zhao Yun) from “Honor of Kings” is renowned for his strong damage capabilities and skillful group control. His ability to manipulate the battlefield effectively makes him a serious threat to opponents in the rear.
The goal of creating an equipment build for Zhao Yun is to maximize his already remarkable durability, increase his damage output, and take advantage of his group control skills. This enables him to efficiently exhaust opponents, setting him up to deal devastating blows whether adversaries are advancing or retreating. Zhao Yun’s ability to break through opposing lines and hold his own throughout extended battles allows his squad to methodically destroy opponents during team battles, giving them a strategic advantage.
Suggested Combo Order:
Use Skill 3 to control adversaries at first, then a basic attack, then Skill 2 and another basic attack to do damage, and finally, use Skill 1 to pursue enemies.
Roar of Protection (Passive): As the fight progresses, Zhao Yun’s strength increases and his potential explodes as his health declines, improving his basic skills and damage reduction.
The Abyss’s Hidden Dragon 66% HP <100%: 5% damage reduction
Dragon in the Field 33%< HP<66%: 10% damage reduction; 50 more dashes are added to the dash distance for Skill 1; one additional spear strike is added for Skill 2.
A tier of the shield is filled by excess health recovery. Dragon in the Sky 0< HP <33%: 20% damage reduction; Skill 1’s dash distance increased by 100; Skill 2 adds two extra spear strikes.

Cost: 40 Cooldown: 6/5.8/5.6/5.4/5.2/5s
Advice: Although it depends mostly on talent and placement, this close-range ability can continually inflict damage on adversaries.

Best Partners in Zilong
Dharma: Both heroes can successfully control the battlefield with their skill combos and have strong initiation skills that threaten the opposition backline. Damo’s ultimate can kick an opposing hero against a wall during ganks, and Zhao Yun’s ultimate can do a lot of damage.
Miyamoto Musashi: Both are very good at starting things. Zhao Yun uses his ultimate to eliminate the opponent after Miyamoto leaps in first and strikes the enemy backline. Miyamoto initiates while Zhao Yun follows up to guarantee high hit rates for Zhao Yun’s ultimate, increasing his damage output. Together, they have powerful ganking abilities.
COUNTER ZILONG AND ADVICE
Zhao Yun’s production can be successfully controlled or eliminated by Liu Bang’s taunt.
Zhao Yun’s production is constrained by Wang Zhaojun’s slowness and control.
Counter-Tips
Because Zhao Yun has powerful late-game fighting skills, assassins should avoid solo encounters; fragile heroes should keep a safe distance to avoid close-range output.
Tips & Tricks for Playing Games
To engage, use Skill 1, then combine it with Skill 2 to deal damage. To give teammates an advantage, concentrate on ganking lanes early. Zhao Yun’s strongest phase is mid-game; to take advantage of his passive and increase combat effectiveness in battles, think about building a semi-tank.
Strategy for Team Combat
Zhao Yun should either wait for the ideal opportunity to use Skill 1 to dive the opposing backline and destroy squishy damage dealers or unleash his ultimate to hit as many foes as he can, then continue using Skill 1 for a prolonged pursuit throughout team battles.
