Description

When I lie on the fluffy clouds, it seems all my worries about the world melt away. Would you stay with me for a while, Savior...? You would lose track of time. It would be great... Feeling so drowsy, I would roll to the side and see your face close to mine... Hehe...

Review

Honglan packs an impressive kit that mixes debuffs and AoE damage. The majority of Honglan kit is tied up to reducing enemy mana, either via global speed reduction, direct mana reduction, or freeze (units cannot generate mana while disabled). For this reason, Honglan can be built as a budget debuffer without additional dupes to reap her benefits, allowing your team to always use M1 first before the enemy, except when facing an enemy Honglan. This places her currently as one of, if not the strongest, debuffers in the game, and she can be very useful in any content with multiple enemies. Alternatively, she can also be built as a hypercarry AoE DPS spamming her ult, which does tremendous damage and CC. Similar to Talia’s ult that damages all units, stunning them while healing the team and increasing mana, Honglan’s ult is more offense-oriented with a focus on DoT via Freeze damage and mana reduction instead. For these reasons, she can be a very flexible unit that can fit into multiple team comps. The glaring weakness is her longer skill generation compared to other units, being one of the slowest similar to Jiho and Jacqueline. As such, it would be advisable to pair her with Vivianne and Talia to increase her mana regeneration and speed, while she debuffs the enemy team. As the enemy level increases, Hong may have issues chewing off the HP of tanks and shielders, so she really benefits from having origin stars and ideally eternal artifact to keep her damage up to standards. When it comes to single target content, Hong isn't really a unit you'd like to use in Guild Bosses, but she can be useful when mana down is needed like in Gaia. She is an extremely strong pick for PvP however, with her S3 being a global speed reduction, allowing your team to always skill first, and skill more often in the long run. Her CCs are another icing on the cake to further reduce enemy DPS.

Love story

  1. Is it because the rabbits are nervous?

  2. I think it's my fault.

  3. Did Honglan live detached from the rest of the world for a long time?

  4. She's doing it for you.

  5. Suggest what you want to do together.

  6. Ask if she misses the baby rabbits.
