This article will guide you with the best build of Solarus(Hou Yi) in Honor of Kings(HoK), which includes his Items, Arcana, Spell, Combo & Counters.
Spell
 The best spell for Solarus is Flash because he is vulnerable to CC, and this spell will help him escape danger immediately. I will not recommend you any other alternatives for him. |
Combos
There are not many combos for Solarus, as he deals most of his damage through auto attacks. So try to position yourself well and auto-attack as much as possible. Here are Special combo attacks you can try for Solarus(Hou Yi):
| Skill 1+auto attack+skill 2+auto attack |
| ult+skill 2+skill 1+auto attack |
Item Builds
Here is the set of Honor of Kings items for the full-damage Marksman build of Solarus:
| Items | Stats |
|---|---|
 Boots of Resistance | +110 Magical Defense + Movement Speed +35% Resistance |
 Sparkforged Dagger | +35% ATK Speed +8% Movement Speed Enhance Basic ATK |
 Bloodweeper | +100 Physical ATK +25% Physical Lifesteal +500 Max Health Recovers HP |
 Sunchaser | +25% Attack Speed +10% Critical Rate +5% Movement Speed Enhance Basic ATK |
 Starbreaker | Physical Atk +80 CD +10% Physical Pierce +40 |
 Eternity Blade | +110 Physical ATK +20% CRIT Rate +CRIT DMG |
Solarus requires some damage in the early game, so going for the build which gives more damage is best for dominating the HoK farm lane. And you can later build damage and attack speed items, which makes him a late-game monster.
| Other Useful Builds | Items Set |
|---|---|
| His Best Sustain Build | Boot of Dexterity>Sparkforged Dagger>Eternity Blade>Daybreaker>Bloodweeper>Ominous Premonition |
| His Best Defense Items | Phantom>Cuirass of Savagery |
Arcana Build
For Arcana, always go for movement and attack speed, then you can go for critical chance and physical pierce, which will help alot in the early game. So, here is the Set of Honor of Kings Arcana Archive you must upgrade to strengthen the Solarus Build:
| Arcana | Stats |
|---|---|
 Hunter | +ATK Speed +Movement Speed |
 Reaver | +Physical Lifesteal |
 Eagle Eye | +Physical ATK +Physical Pierce |
Solarus Counters
Hou Yi may be a destroyer in the late game, but he is pretty easy to counter as he lacks mobility in his kit. Try to shut down in the early game by Ganking his lane and forcing his Flash so that he escapes Dragon Fight, where you look for a good opportunity and kill him.
Solarus is good when the team can make plays from his ult and also from the team who can peel for him, but he is also the worst with heroes who cannot peel for him during fights and can’t make plays from his ult. Here are some heroes who can counter Solarus in Honor of Kings:
| Heroes | Description |
|---|---|
 Lam | Lam is an assassin, and he can kill Solarus when he is not with the support. |
 Monkey King | Monkey King can tank some damage from him and assassinate him if he has enough gold in the game. |
 Prince of Lanling | Lanling has invisibility, and it is easy to kill this MM if he is off position for him. |
 Lady Sun | Lady Sun has more damage in the early game than him, and she can easily harass 1v1 in the lane. |
 Luban no. 7 | Luban is another marksman who can easily counter Solarus in HoK. |
 Farshot | Farshot is Strong against Solarus as the passive and ULT of this shooter hero are far better than him. |
