How to Play Arli?
Arli is hard to play hero in Honor of Kings, but if you learn to play around her passive and umbrella positioning, you will start getting good results with her. Arli’s passive allows her to mark an enemy. If she auto attacks the marked enemy, the mark will detonate and deal aoe damage.
Arli also carries an umbrella, and every time she uses her skill, she can recast her skill and move back to the place where her umbrella is. For example, if you use your first skill to dash infront of her, leave her umbrella behind. So, If you press on skill 1 again within a certain period, you go back to the umbrella location. It applies to her every skill. Arli launches an umbrella in a circle around her, which deals damage if it hits the enemy.
Arli’s Ultimate deals magical damage to the enemy while knocking them back. She is all about playing around with her umbrella and dealing as much DPS with your passive. So always keep that in mind and play accordingly.
