Skills of Shi in Honor of Kings

1) Maiden's Trick

Maiden's Trick is Shi's passive ability, which allows her to inflict damage on foes depending on the distance between them. As the distance between Shi and her opponents increases, so does the damage inflicted on them.

2) Silk Imprint

The Silk Imprint ability lets Shi throw an artifact at an enemy location. It inflicts magic damage on all foes in the area and pulls them toward the same. Additionally, this attack wraps a silk around a foe. When you tap the skill's button again, it pulls them toward Shi.

Lastly, Silk Imprint allows Shi to control the target enemy's movements and interrupt non-hero foes' skills. However, they are not affected if they are far from the hero.

3) The Silky Beauty

The Silky Beauty ability allows Shi in Honor of Kings to release an energy orb that hits multiple enemies and stops only when it strikes a monster. Upon doing so, it inflicts magic damage to all foes within its range and slows down their movement speed before exploding.

Enemies at the center of the orb's explosion receive double damage.

4) Sole Focus

An Ultimate ability, Sole Focus grants Shi a larger field of vision and resets Silky Beauty's cooldown time.

Once it is triggered, Shi receives a movement speed boost. In this state, attacking a foe with Silk Imprint lets her control their movement twice. Furthermore, it decreases the ability's cooldown to half.

Prioritize boosting Shi's Skill Two for Fast Lane clearance.
Consider unlocking the character's Ultimate's level four, as it drastically increases the character's damage output and crowd control ability.
