How to Play Yuhuan in HoK

• Early Game: In the early game, focus on farming and harassing your lane opponent. Use your Tragic Beauty (Skill 1) to poke and slow enemies, making it easier to land your Mournful Tempo (Skill 2) for a stun. Switch between War and Peace passives as needed – use War to apply pressure and Peace to sustain yourself in the lane. Be cautious of enemy ganks, as Yuhuan is quite squishy.
• Mid-Game: As the game progresses, look for opportunities to roam and impact other lanes. Your Unending Sorrow (Skill 3) can turn teamfights in your favor by healing allies and damaging enemies simultaneously. Continue to switch your passive based on the situation – use War when your team is ahead and looking to push, and Peace when you need to defend or sustain during sieges.
• Late Game: In the late game, positioning becomes crucial. Stay on the backline and use your abilities to control teamfights. Your stun from Mournful Tempo can set up game-changing plays. Keep an eye on your cooldowns and mana, using your passive wisely to either deal consistent damage or provide healing support. Look for opportunities to use your combo: 1-2-Basic Attack-1-Basic Attack-3 for maximum impact.

Yuhuan Counters in HoK

Lian Po	Nezha	Mulan

Yuhuan struggles against heavy dive compositions and heroes who can quickly close the gap. Champions like Lian Po, Nezha, and Mulan can pose significant threats.

To counter these heroes, focus on maintaining distance and using your Mournful Tempo to create space. When faced with high engage potential, prioritize the Peace passive to keep yourself and your team healthy.
