His fellow Great Wall Guards Know him as the Sharpest Marksman in the regiment. Coolheaded and warm in equal measure, he reliably provides cover during battles.
Yet during calm times, his sharp eyes will gaze longingly into the distance toward his hometown. When he was little, he was separated from his younger brother, Baili Xuance, during a bandit attack on their village, and Shouyue has always blamed himself for failing to protect him. Baili Shouyue thus awaits by the Great Wall, partially in the hope that his younger brother will eventually have sense enough to look for him there.
Farshot is an Artillery Marksman in Honor of Kings(HoK) who can deal massive damage from long distances. A good Farshot player can easily poke down the carries from far away and even kill them if they are low enough. He has a long-skill shot in his 2nd ability and can deal significant damage from that. He always wins the lane no matter what because he can easily farm and harass the enemy from under the tower.

How to Play Farshot?
Among all the heroes in Hok, Farshot(Baili Shouyue) is a unique marksman as he performs best as a camper. Since he has no mobility except his ultimate, which knocks him back, you should play him safely and always look out for the enemy flank. Farshot can easily win lane if you just keep harassing the enemy from afar and go ahead after they are low. Use your skill 1 to give vision to your team and yourself. Here are some additional tips you must remember to master Farshot in Honor of Kings:
- Since Farshot performs best around the turret, firstly, play more and more in the unranked mode. Do not take him to the ranked games unless you understand his skills.
- Plant the first skill(Visibility) throughout your jungle; if possible, enemie’s too. It will help you to shoot enemies from anywhere.
- Do not rely only on his skills. If you engage in the team fight, use passive rather than the 2nd or 3rd buttons.
- While far-shooting, target Marksman or Mage and ignore the Tanks and Assassins as MM and Mage have low health and 1.5 shots are enough to kill them.
- Avoid team fights as much as possible in early games.
