Sima Yi is like a walking shadow, shrouded in the darkness from head to toe, always waiting for an opportunity to strike. He comes from an illustrious anomalic family, who chose to sacrifice him in cold blood in their struggle for power.
Despite spending a short time as a carefree student of the Jixia Academy, he took the sclitary road of vengeance instead. Hidden by his own shadows, he has conjured a giant scythe to reap all who stand before him.
Sima Yi is a burst assassin hero of HoK who deals massive damage in his early game. Although he is a jungler, you can ride him in the mid-lane without worry. If your enemies are new to this hero, they will not know what Sima will do next to them. That is because he has the flash ability, which can help him to appear in front of enemies and execute them instantly. Overall, Sima Yi is a high-damage-dealing early-game hero of Honor of Kings, but if you can master him, you can carry the team and win the game within 10 minutes.

How to play Sima Yi?
Here are some tips you must consider to play and master Sima Yi in Honor of Kings:
- Don’t pick Sima Yi in the ranked game in two cases. Firstly, if your ally picks early game Marksman and Mage and secondly, if you have not mastered his skills.
- Since Sima is intense in the early game, during that time, you should target mage and mm while jungling.
- When the game reaches mid, decrease your engagement rate. For instance, avoid teamfights where enemy MM and Mage are active from the back row. Just keep jungling and target weak enemies if they are alone roaming.
- While attacking, use your first skill first, then CC and ULT. This combo can help your ally to know down enemies to ACED.
- In the early game, try to kill enemy junglers to disturb their gold farming.
