S-Tier ADCs: The Current Meta Monsters

Loong	Lady Sun	Arli

These marksmen dominate the current meta with their exceptional damage output, survivability, and game-changing potential. If you’re looking to climb ranks quickly, these are your go-to picks.

Loong

Loong stands as the complete package in the current meta, bringing everything you’d want in an ADC. His consistent high damage output serves you well from the early game straight through to late-game situations. What makes him particularly strong is his built-in crowd control abilities that provide excellent self-peel opportunities.

His sustain from S2 keeps him healthy in the lane, while his ultimate serves as both an offensive tool and a reliable escape mechanism. The combination of these elements makes him a formidable force in any team composition.

Lady Sun

Lady Sun excels as a mobile powerhouse that dominates both the laning phase and late-game team fights. Her mobility surpasses most other marksmen, giving her a significant advantage in positioning and escape scenarios.

From the very first few levels, she demonstrates strong wave-clear capabilities, allowing her to maintain lane control effectively. Her harassment potential in lane is exceptional, and once she reaches the late game, she becomes a terrifying force capable of eliminating squishier targets with one shot.

Arli

Arli requires high mechanical mastery. Her kit rewards skilled players who invest time in mastering her abilities. When played correctly, she becomes incredibly difficult to pin down, dancing around team fights while maintaining consistent damage output.

Her ability to evade ganks makes her a safe pick, though achieving her full potential requires dedication and practice. Despite the high skill requirement, she maintains reliable damage throughout all stages of the game.

A-Tier ADCs: Strong Picks with Specific Strengths

Consort Yu	Marco Polo	Shouyue	Fang	Luban No. 7

While not quite as dominant as S-tier picks, these ADCs excel in specific situations and can easily carry games in the right hands.

Consort Yu

Consort Yu, often compared to the Joker, brings a unique playstyle to the ADC role. Her defining feature is the ability to become immune to physical damage during her S2 activation, making her particularly strong in the lane against other marksmen.

Her S1 provides excellent poke potential from a safe distance, and her damage remains consistently strong throughout the game. This combination makes her an excellent counter-pick against AD-heavy compositions.

Marco Polo

Marco Polo has maintained his position as one of the most consistent ADCs since the game’s launch. His ability to shred through tanks makes him particularly valuable in the current meta.

His ultimate provides valuable AOE damage in team fights, and his slippery nature makes him difficult to pin down. What sets him apart from many other ADCs is his ability to come online earlier, as his core items tend to be more affordable than those of his counterparts.

Shouyue

Shouyue stands as an underrated powerhouse in the current meta. His strength lies in his ability to eliminate targets from extreme ranges with his precise skillshots. The vision control provided by his traps proves particularly effective against popular junglers like Wukong and Prince of Lanling.

His ultimate provides a reliable escape mechanism, and his high base damage values ensure he remains relevant throughout the game. Players who can master his sniping mechanics will find him to be an exceptionally rewarding pick.

Fang

Following recent buffs, Fang has emerged as a strong contender in the current meta. His exceptional tower-taking abilities make him a significant threat in split-pushing scenarios.

His versatility allows him to function effectively both as an ADC and a jungler, thanks to his impressive clear speed. While his late-game presence might not match some other carries, his strong early and mid-game impact often allows him to create enough advantage to close out games before reaching that point.

Luban No. 7

Luban No. 7 might possess the highest potential DPS in the game, but this comes at a cost. He requires exceptional positioning skills and typically needs a team built around protecting him.

In “Protect the President” compositions, he can shine brilliantly, but getting him to his late-game power fantasy requires patience and perfect execution.

B-Tier ADCs: Viable but Situational

Alessio	Erin	Garo	Hou Yi	Di Renjie	Huang Zhong

These ADCs can perform well but require specific conditions or team compositions to truly shine.

Alessio

Alessio presents an interesting case in the current meta. While his mobility makes him a slippery target, his damage output falls notably short compared to top-tier picks like Luban or Lady Sun.

He fits better into team compositions where his survivability can be maximized while other teammates provide additional damage sources.

Erin

Erin exemplifies a high-skill-cap champion that requires a significant farm to reach her full potential. While she can be devastating in the right hands, her reliance on items and lack of heavy burst damage can make her feel underwhelming compared to other ADCs in the current meta.

The effort required to master her mechanics doesn’t always translate to proportional rewards.

Garo

Garo represents a classic late-game hypercarry who requires careful attention from her team. In the current meta, where assassins like Wukong and Lanling dominate, she faces significant challenges in reaching her power spikes safely.

However, once she acquires her core items, her massive range and attack speed make her a formidable threat, though the journey to that point can be hard.

Hou Yi

Hou Yi maintains his position as a solid pick with consistent damage output. His early game wave clear presents some challenges, despite his passive allowing him to hit multiple targets.

His ultimate provides valuable crowd control options, either for escape or engage purposes. However, the current high-tier meta picks like Loong and Lady Sun often overshadow his contributions.

Di Renjie

Di Renjie offers consistent damage output that many players tend to underestimate. While he performs adequately in the current meta, his lack of mobility and lower damage ceiling compared to S-tier ADCs hold him back from reaching higher tiers. His reliability comes at the cost of spectacular playmaking potential.

Huang Zhong

Huang Zhong embodies a high-risk, high-reward playstyle. His early-game weakness makes him vulnerable to repeated ganks, which can severely hamper his scaling potential. However, if allowed to farm safely and reach his power spikes, his ultimate makes him extremely difficult to approach, turning him into a formidable threat.

C-Tier ADCs: Currently Underwhelming

Luara	Meng Ya

These ADCs need some help from the balance team to compete with higher-tier picks.

Luara

Despite having potential, especially in the late game, Luara currently struggles to find her place in the meta. Her early game scaling issues prevent her from competing effectively with higher-tier ADCs, though she can still perform well in extended games where she reaches her power spikes.

Meng Ya

Meng Ya currently sits at the bottom of the tier list, struggling to find relevance in the current meta. His overall performance falls short in nearly every aspect compared to other ADCs, making him a challenging pick to justify in competitive play.

The current ADC meta in Honor of Kings heavily favors mobile marksmen who can both survive the early game and scale well into the late game. While S-tier picks like Loong and Lady Sun dominate the current meta, don’t underestimate the potential of A-tier picks like Marco Polo and Shouyue in the right hands.

Remember that this tier list reflects the current meta and patch. Your personal playstyle and comfort with specific champions should also factor into your selection. Practice your mechanics, focus on farming efficiently, and most importantly, choose an ADC that fits your playstyle rather than blindly following the meta.
