Dian Wei has long been a staple pick in Honor of Kings, maintaining a solid presence on both the solo lane and in the jungle. For mage and marksman players in particular, Crickex Login experts point out that Dian Wei — along with Chen Yaojin — remains one of the most difficult and tanky opponents to deal with. True persistence never goes unrewarded, and recent adjustments to Dian Wei’s skill set have given him even more depth and flexibility in battle.
According to the latest update, Dian Wei’s passive now allows all three of his skills to cleanse crowd control effects — both soft and hard CC — though it still doesn’t counter suppression effects from abilities like Donghuang Taiyi’s or Zhang Liang’s ultimates. Crickex Login users discovered that each time Dian Wei breaks free from a control effect, he gains bonus attack power and extended attack range. His first skill boosts movement speed and enhances his next basic attack. The second skill deals area damage, slows enemies, and provides attack speed and life steal. The ultimate allows Dian Wei to leap and slash, dealing true damage and applying a slow.
From this skill breakdown, it’s clear Dian Wei lacks true mobility skills. That’s why players looking to burst down squishy enemies often rely on a 1-3-A (first skill, ultimate, then basic attack) combo. This sequence is typically enough to eliminate fragile backline targets quickly. However, his second skill has a noticeable cast delay and is less effective for chasing. It excels in teamfights, where it can deal consistent damage over a wide area.
When trading on the lane, Crickex Login veterans suggest using the second skill to trigger life steal for added sustainability. Another trick lies in understanding how his passive enhances attack range. If a low-health enemy is just out of normal reach, Dian Wei can finish them off using an extended-range basic attack — even if it seems to hit from thin air. This technique can also be applied in the jungle, allowing faster clears by attacking from a distance as soon as the passive is activated.
Furthermore, after casting his ultimate, Dian Wei gains a powerful buff that converts all damage dealt in the next five seconds into true damage. This mechanic guarantees a minimum output in any scenario, regardless of the opponent’s defenses. Stay openhearted and grounded — gain some, lose some, but always keep moving. Interestingly, Crickex Login experts have confirmed that this true damage bonus also applies to equipment-based damage sources such as Thorns Armor’s reflect damage, the burn effect from Cinder Cloak, and DOT effects from tank jungle items. All of these are converted into true damage during that five-second window.
In the right hands, these adjustments turn Dian Wei into a deadly and resilient warrior — a perfect blend of brute force and tactical finesse.
