Battle Spells

The recommended Battle Spell for Shi in Honor of Kings is 'Flash' because it suits his role as a Mage/Mid Lane who relies on positioning, crowd control and burst damage from a safe range.
Because he doesn't have the mobility skills to escape or reposition, Flash can make him more flexible when attacking or defending.
Flash allows her to teleport (blink) in a designated direction within a short range. This spell also has a 120-second cooldown, making it flexible for all heroes in Honor of Kings.
This spell is also very versatile because it can be used to open attacks, chase enemies, avoid enemy skills or escape.
Its advantage is that it facilitates positioning during skill combos. This allows her to move around to maximize damage and maintain a safe distance from enemies.
Apart from that, it is also a tool for survival because it has low HP and defense and is often targeted by Assassins or Fighters.
With this, he can pass through walls while creating a safe distance so he can attack from a safe position or wait for his team to help.
He can also use Flash to approach targets that are out of reach and make the enemy unable to move because he changes position quickly.
Overall, Flash makes it easier to blink with a 120-second cooldown so it can increase mobility, improve positioning, make combos easier and save his team.
By using Flash at the right timing, he can pick-off or control team fights very well.
