Overview
Marco Polo is a ranger-class hero in Honor of Kings: World. Based on the historical Venetian merchant and explorer, Marco Polo is reimagined as a dual-pistol marksman whose Flow style revolves around rapid gunfire, precise aim, and mobility. He provides a fully ranged combat option in a game where most styles focus on melee.
Historical inspiration
Marco Polo (1254–1324) was an Italian merchant and explorer who traveled the Silk Road to China and spent years at the court of Kublai Khan. His accounts of his travels introduced Europeans to the riches and cultures of East Asia. In the Honor of Kings franchise, his explorer identity is reimagined with anachronistic firearms that blend his Western origins with the game's fantasy technology.
Combat abilities
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Dual barrage | rapid alternating shots from both pistols, high hit count at medium range |
Rolling shot | a dodge roll that fires during the evasion, maintaining damage while repositioning |
Explosive round | a charged shot that deals area damage on impact |
Grand tour | ultimate that chains rapid-fire shots between multiple targets in range |
Playstyle
Marco Polo excels at maintaining damage from a safe distance. His rolling shot allows him to dodge enemy attacks without sacrificing his DPS uptime, making him effective against bosses with large melee attack zones. His hit count per second is among the highest in the game, which synergizes with systems that reward frequent hits.
As a ranged style, Marco Polo pairs naturally with a melee style in the dual-class system. Players can use Marco Polo to deal damage during dangerous boss phases, then swap to a melee style for burst damage during safe windows.
