Are you allowed to NOT play your assigned role in a normal match?

I just played a normal match where the player who was assigned as a Roamer picked Devara, went to Clash Lane and did not buy the support item. The Yao who was assigned the Clash Lane role protested but was told by the Devara player "Just chill, it's not a rank match".

It ended up that the Yao was under level and under-farmed, our Marksman was constantly gank-ed and killed with no support. The enemy marksman got super fed with nothing to threaten him.

Is the Devara player correct that just because it's not a rank match he can just play whatever role he wants?

Why is ranked so bad?

I am a solo queue support main and I feel like I have no agency in this game. Every game seems to be predetermined - there is nothing I can do to change the outcome of the game.

I can't protect my marksman if they keep pushing by themselves or go into bushes without regards to enemy locations. Every clash laner just wants to 1v5 everyone and there is no way I can save them. Our jungler is nowhere to be found or always farming and our mage keeps leaving behind her towers, lingering too long in the side lanes and dying en route back to her lane.

Solo queue support is an absolutely miserable experience. It really feels like I'm playing with bots even though I'm already in Mythic rank (30 stars). Why are the rank matches in Honor of Kings so bad?

Stuck at 50% WR how do I fix this?

Hi! Im not sure if this is a bug but my win rate seems stuck at 50% win rate. It's always I win a game then I lose a game. Back n forth, win then lose, lose and win. Always the same outcome from 70+ games since the start of the season.

Thankfully, I get a few S or SS whenever I win or lose so I gain more points towards the next star than losing them so the rating system is at least in my favor. It's the match making system I struggle with - always the same thing after a win: I match with a clash laner or marksman who just runs it down with map turned off and hard stuck at team fight and kills as there win condition. They also seem to think towers are 17 yr olds you can't touch without reaching a certain legal level or have looted enough gold to pay the legal fees. 🤔

I already tried to report this several times but AI customer support tells me that the Dark System is working as "intended to optimize engagement" - whatever that means 🙄

Can we fix this?

I know we will never get rid of sigils but can we at least have it that the mastery that increases dmg cap by having a basic sigil works with basic stat at the top as well as the bottom?

Captain Gram/Djeeta Build

Any thoughts and suggestions on how I can improve my build? This is a Substitute Tank building. Focusing more on team survivability but still able to dish out respectable damage.

Thinking of replacing my Health basic Sigils for Aegis and Greater Aegis as the added Dmg Cap feels less significant over more bulk - higher max HP to take hits with Substitute when Phalanx is still on cooldown.

PSA I don't have crab investment, spartan and berserker echo on my Summon sadly :( I am unsure how useful his warpath sigil is?

I usually swap in Clarity over Reginiev when fighting Lucilius and Overdrive Surge when fighting the World. I prefer the double damage skills so I catch up on damage during link time of break windows.

Captain Djeeta / Gran build?

art by Sua_Sua

Can anyone recommend me a build for Captain Djeeta / Gran ?

I haven't touch the Captain since the base game so I don't know what's good for her in Endless Ragnarok. 😁

Celestial Lumen

Thoughts on Celestial Lumen?

Its basically Dmg Cap version of Stamina with bonus +Atk. You can even replace it with Stamina if you are already hitting dmg cap or use it in tandem with Stamina since the conditions are the same.

Sigil Synthesis is a time sink!

I just spent the last hour trying to get a DMG Cap V+ | DMG Cap V+

​

I have a DMG Cap| Skill Sealed Resistance and a DMG Cap | Fast Learner

​

I synthesis both with 1/7 chance ill get a DMG Cap | DMG Cap

​

if I didn't get the desired result I return to the title screen without saving, play a quick mission, then synthesize again.

​

I did this for over an hour! I got a mix of the other 6/7 results but still no DMG Cap | DMG Cap! Fak RNG! Fak this system! I hope they'll change this in the DLC!!!

​

rant over. 😤

Recommended character for slow hands?

Can anyone recommend a character that soaks up damage without needing to perfect dodge and does decent damage without complicated mechanics or combos?

Edit: I see a lot of recommendation for Percival i will test him out. thank you for the suggestions!

Edit2: character that soaks up damage (I initially wrote doesn't which is a double negative sorry) - I meant I'm looking for someone who can take several hits without dying and can survive without having to perfect dodge.

How do I get stronger?

I just reached Proud difficulty and I am struggling!

Every boss 1 shots me at 28k HP and I only deal less than 1% per attack (Eugene snipe attack) - how do I get stronger?

Currently using Eugene with the rest Rackham, Gram and Io as AI controlled.

I have everyone at 100% MSP for offense and defense with level 125 weapons. I have 100% crit rate, max crit dmg, concentrate fire but my Damage Cap is not capped yet. (Edit: I have added level 20 Potion Holder, Guts and Auto revive)

I still feel very weak and struggle to beat Proud difficulty - I could beat some of the missions but only after 10 mins and several critical states barely could S rank the quest :(

Help! How do I get stronger in endgame?

Crossplay between PC and PS5?

Does this game (not the dlc Endless Ragnarok) have crossplay between PS5 and PC? I want to be able to play with my wife from my PS5 (she is using a PC).

... go straight to Lumiere and fight Renoir 😅

Seriously, unless you enjoy 1-shotting the boss with Stendhal I suggest just going straight to Lumiere and finishing up the story. It is so easy to get too powerful in this game that you may not enjoy the final fight unless you restrain yourself.

My recommendation is just do the relationship quests (see below) skip the side content (especially Renoir and Verso draft and Clea Flying Manor). You can also get 100 colours of lumina's from Blanche, maybe even finish up Frozen Heart if you haven't already but other than those the rest should be skipped after you finish the story quest.

Relationship quest (Do these first in order):

  1. Sciel (no quest)

  2. Esque - beat Francios at Esquie's Nest

  3. Lune - find her parents at Sirene's Dress

  4. Monoco - bring Noco to the Sacred River

  5. Maelle - find Alicia at The Reacher

Only after you have finish the main story quest should you be doing any of the act III content and beat the real boss underneath the Abyss. 😏
