Honor of Kings: Lam Target Prioritization and Ganking Guide

To play Lam effectively as a jungle assassin in Honor of Kings, focus your ganks and team fight engagements on low-durability backline heroes like mages and marksmen. Wait to commit your main attack rotation until enemy front-line tanks have expended their primary crowd-control abilities on your teammates.

Jungle Pathing and Early Gank Setup

Lam relies on fast jungle clears and rapid map traversal to build an early gold lead. Clear your primary buff camps quickly to reach your initial level powerspike before attempting high-risk plays.

When transitioning from farming camps to ganking lanes, prioritize overextended enemies who have pushed toward your team's towers.

• Pathing across terrain: Use Lam's wall-traversing dashes to bypass typical vision points in the jungle, setting up flanks from unseen angles.
• Coordinate with laners: Signal your teammates to bait out enemy escape abilities before you dash out from hiding.
• Avoid revealing yourself early: Showing on the map too soon warns opposing laners to fall back, removing your surprise advantage.

Target Selection and Engagement Sequence

Lam excels at quick burst execution rather than prolonged trades. Diving heavy warriors or full-health tanks locks you into drawn-out fights that play against your strengths.

Follow a strict hit-and-run sequence during skirmishes:

1. Wait in stealth or nearby vision blocks while the front lines collide.
2. Track key enemy stun and root skills until they are spent on your allies.
3. Dash past the enemy tank line directly onto the backline damage dealers.
4. Execute your burst sequence to eliminate the primary mark.
5. Disengage using your remaining dash or mobility skill as soon as your abilities go on cooldown.

Mid-Game Team Fights and Objective Control

As matches progress into mid-game team fights, switch Lam's role from roaming ganker to opportunistic cleaner. Entering a 5v5 battle first often leads to getting locked down by crowd control and eliminated quickly. Allow your team's tank or initiator to take the initial focus before diving into the fight.

When enemy heroes group up, track the mini-map for major objective openings:

• Tyrant and Overlord steals: If the opposing jungler appears on the opposite side of the map, take advantage of Lam's high single-target damage to solo the Tyrant or Overlord.
• Post-kill pushes: After securing a backline kill in a lane or team fight, immediately convert that advantage into tower damage or neutral buff clears before returning to your jungle rotation.
