Many Crickex App players feel overwhelmed when they first see the new operation settings page in Honor of Kings. At a glance, the interface may seem confusing, but in reality, the changes from the previous season are quite minimal. As time passes, we trade youthful recklessness for a deeper understanding of what truly matters.
This season introduces three main options: Beginner Recommendations, Advanced Recommendations, and Custom Settings. The Beginner mode includes basic functions such as last-hit/tower push buttons, attack priority settings, and auto basic attacks. These are preset controls designed for new players.
Advanced mode expands on these features by including settings like full hero avatars and camera offset adjustments. However, since every hero plays differently, a one-size-fits-all approach to controls doesn’t always work. That’s why Custom Settings are now the best choice for most players in the new season.
Previously, players could toggle between basic and advanced free attack modes, and the only difference was the addition of a separate last-hit/tower push key. In this season, the visual diagram has been removed and replaced with a simplified setting interface.
According to tests by Crickex App, enabling auto basic attacks and setting attack priority to target the lowest absolute health enemy can greatly improve precision. Also, enabling precise attacks is essential—especially for marksmen. This feature has been further optimized in the new season.
Set chase range to standard, but be sure to turn off move-to-chase mode to avoid unnecessary overextending. The skill release settings remain largely unchanged from the previous season, though their layout has been rearranged. The standout new feature is skill aiming sensitivity.
When holding down a skill button, the size of the aiming joystick now matters. Depending on the hero you’re using, you can adjust this manually. A smaller skill wheel makes aiming more responsive, while a larger one offers greater stability, ideal for long-range skills.
In skill effect settings, set the default dash direction to match your character’s movement. Disable skill description pop-ups during long presses, turn off picture-in-picture for skills, and set the movement joystick to “fully fixed” for better control.
Whether or not to enable camera-follow for skills depends on your hero. For example, Marco Polo’s first skill or Yu Ji’s long-range shots benefit from enabling this setting, especially since these abilities often go off-screen.
Lastly, the pre-battle setup screen has been completely overhauled. Your currently equipped items appear at the top, and recommended builds show below. If you view suggested equipment, your own setup will pin to the top for easy comparison. We’ve all had moments of youthful pride—this update reminds us how much thoughtful preparation can improve gameplay.
If Crickex App players are unsatisfied while editing loadouts, the new undo button makes it easy to revert changes. Plus, recommended builds and rune suggestions now update in real time, ensuring your setup stays current with the evolving meta.
