Revision 11

Overview

Jialuo (伽罗) is a Resonance (共鸣) in Honor of Kings: World, confirmed in the S0 Season launch roster on April 10, 2026. She is the dedicated archer among the 11 S0 Resonances, titled the Thousand-Cave Guardian (千窟守护者). Her S0 tagline is "千页纷飞处，文脉自可追" ("Where a thousand pages fly, the threads of civilization can be traced"), framing her as a scribe-guardian of knowledge rather than a straightforward ranged combatant.

Note on localization: In Tencent's global English MOBA hero database, Jialuo's hero ID is 508 and the EN name is spelled "GARO." Whether the final HoKW English localization will use "Jialuo," "Jiaro," or "Garo" has not been confirmed.

Verified HoKW Kit

Skill names below are taken official HoKW hero compendium (and).

Spirit Arrow Resource

Jialuo's kit revolves around a spirit arrow resource that is spent by 渡灵之箭 and generated by 静默之箭. Players maintain the resource loop by alternating between the two skills, using 静默之箭's crowd control to create safe windows for 渡灵之箭's ramping DPS. 纯净之域 adds both a launch effect for crowd control and a crit-rate buff for the caster, effectively functioning as both a defensive tool and a damage amplifier.

Combat Role

As a ranged Offensive Resonance, Jialuo deals sustained precision damage at long range. Her kit is built for boss-fight positioning rather than mob-clearing speed: the crit-rate buff from 纯净之域 and the consecutive-hit attack speed ramp from 渡灵之箭 both reward extended engagements against single high-HP targets. Meng Ya fills the area-of-effect ranged niche in the S0 roster; Jialuo fills the single-target precision niche.

Playstyle Tips

• Build spirit arrows through 静默之箭 and spend them on 渡灵之箭 for ramping DPS windows

• Cast 纯净之域 during boss phase transitions or break windows so your crit-rate buff is active when the boss is vulnerable

• Stay inside 纯净之域's field as much as possible to maintain the crit-rate bonus

• Save 千窟神箭 for single high-value targets during posture break

• Use 静默之箭's knockback/launch as defensive space-creation when enemies close distance

Launch Acquisition

Launch-week beginner guidance identifies Jialuo as the S0 Battle Pass Resonance. The same onboarding guidance recommends unlocking the Battle Pass as soon as level 6 if Jialuo is the intended first ranged carry.

S0 Progression Role

• Jialuo is singled out in beginner coverage as a strong single-target boss killer.

• That makes her one of the clearest early investments for players who want a dedicated ranged damage plan instead of a melee-heavy roster.

• Because her launch identity is tied to ranged boss pressure, she naturally fits parties that already have a Support or Confrontation front line.

Puzzle Reward: Red Hawk Hall Mystery

The 赤隼馆之谜 (Red Hawk Hall Mystery) environmental puzzle, located in the Red Hawk Hall (赤隼馆) sub-region within the Yunluo Far Mountains exploration cluster, awards Jialuo's gold-tier 岭上歌 (Mountain Top Song) weapon appearance on completion. The puzzle is part of the broader 问迹 (Wenji) trace-and-investigation puzzle line that runs through several launch regions.

Balance History

The 2026-05-10 in-game maintenance update applied the first post-launch balance pass to Jialuo. Both adjustments targeted her arrow-skill burst output, which launch-week guides flagged as a high-priority outlier in single-target damage.

The patch landed in a 05:00 to 06:00 maintenance window and did not require a server reset. Community discussion of the patch was mixed; Jialuo mains pushed back on the magnitude of the Pursuit Arrow change in particular.
