Honor of Kings Liu Er Jungle Clearing and Ganking Guide

To play Liu Er effectively in the jungle in Honor of Kings, start your jungle route on the side of the map opposite the initial Tyrant or Dragon spawn. This pathing places you near major objectives as they spawn while allowing you to clear camps efficiently, gank vulnerable lanes, and secure objective control using Smite.

Jungle Pathing and Camp Clearing

Start clearing camps on the side furthest from the active Dragon or Tyrant pit. Group smaller jungle monsters together with the main buff monster to damage multiple targets simultaneously with Liu Er's primary abilities, reducing clear time compared to relying on basic attacks.

When finishing a camp with high HP:

• Check the adjacent lane for an immediate flank or pressure opportunity on overextended enemies.
• Rotate directly to your next camp if neighboring lanes are pushed up or unsafe to engage.

Early Ganking Tactics and Skill Execution

Avoid predictable warded paths by sweeping through river brush or flanking behind enemy laners.

Execute ganks using this skill sequence:

1. Hold your main mobility skill during the initial approach to force the enemy to use their dash, crowd control, or Flicker defensively.
2. Close the distance with your primary dash only after the enemy expends their defensive cooldowns.
3. Save follow-up displacement or crowd control skills to catch targets attempting to disengage.
4. Target fragile heroes like Mages and Marksmen to land rapid burst damage rather than taking prolonged trades.

If a gank forces an enemy to recall without securing a kill, treat the play as a success and immediately transition to farming or helping your laner push the defensive tower.

Objective Control and Team Fight Positioning

As the match transitions into mid-game team fights, adjust Liu Er's focus from solo ganking to objective execution and backline cleanup.

• Objective Securing: Keep your Smite spell available for contested Tyrant or Overlord execution. Hover around the edges of the objective pit until the enemy jungler reveals their location before diving in to land the last hit.
• Team Fight Entry: Do not initiate team engagements directly. Allow frontline teammates to absorb initial enemy abilities and crowd control before flanking the backline to eliminate damage dealers.
• Defensive Adjustments: If the enemy team relies heavily on hard crowd control, equip items that offer Tenacity or active cleanse effects to avoid getting locked down.
• Recovery Farming: If early ganks fail and you fall behind in gold, avoid forcing high-risk fights. Focus on clearing your own camps and taking enemy jungle camps to rebuild your gold and experience lead.
