Here’s a guide for Yixing, The Weiqi master from Chang’an in Honor of Kings.
Yixing saw the world as a Weiqi board.
He excels in controlling his opponent, whether by limiting their movement or slowing them with his Weiqi stone.
He is primarily played in mid-lane but is also eligible in the roamer.
He gains 1 permanent Weiqi stone every time he scores a kill or assist.
Each permanent Weiqi stone grants 1 Magical Attack.
This effect has a cooldown of 150 seconds.
The Weiqi stone lasts for 12 seconds.
The enhanced Basic Attack improvements are a scattershot effect/17% damage boost/34% damage boost.
He stacks 1 Weiqi stone every 6 seconds for up to 2 Weiqi stones.
On-hit effects of enhanced Basic Attacks are reduced to 30%.
The Weiqi formation lasts 10 seconds.
Each effect can only be triggered once.
If Yixing moves too far away from the formation, it disappears.
This skill deal 180% more damage to non-hero units.
After 1.5 seconds, the board takes shape and launches enemies within it for 0.5 seconds.
The Weiqi board lasts 4 seconds, during which enemy heroes cannot leave it.
The board adds 3 Anti-Qi marks to enemy heroes over time and exposes their location.
If he successfully traps an enemy hero, he gains 1 charge of Sliding Stones.
The smaller the Weiqi board, the shorter the cooldown, for a maximum reduction of 25%.
These Arcana focus on enhancing his damage-dealing capabilities and giving him a little lifesteal to make him more durable.
Because Yixing relies greatly on his skills, cooldown reduction stats improve his damage considerably more than other stats.
