Recommended Builds
When at most one enemy hero deals magic damage and you want to win straight trades
The first four items match Build 2, so the split lands on slots five and six. Blood Rage and Eye of the Phoenix together push max HP to +2750. Blood Rage adds physical damage equal to 1.5% of bonus HP on every basic attack, and that bonus grows another 25-50% once Zhao Yun drops below half HP. Eye of the Phoenix raises healing by 5% per 10% HP lost, but total magic defense stops at +280 here, 120 below Build 2.
When two or more enemy heroes deal magic damage and you get focused
Slot five becomes Pure Sky and slot six Succubus Cloak. Pure Sky brings total cooldown reduction to 37.5%, ten points above Build 1. For three seconds after a skill lands on an enemy hero, incoming damage drops 20%, and the active cuts another 30% for three seconds. Succubus Cloak adds 300 magic defense plus a shield every 15 seconds, lifting total magic defense to +400.
This is what the Popular tab of the in-game Recommended Loadout screen showed on 2026-08-28. The number on each arcana is how many of the 30 slots it fills; each colour adds up to 10. The game also shows a rank and a win rate, but those shift from day to day, so they are not reproduced here.
Strategy Guide
A fighter who gets tankier as his Health drops, hitting his stride exactly when he looks finished. His dash and healing spear flurry let him win fights the enemy thought were already over.
Best for: players who live on a broken health bar — Zilong hardens as he drops, so the craft is judging how deep you can go and healing back out with the spear flurry.
The leap by itself locks nobody down. A skill landing on the marked target within 5s is what adds the magic damage and launches whoever is standing in the center. Miss every enemy hero and half the cooldown returns, so the leap is worth gambling on.
Dash in, slow their answer, then take the health back with the jabs. Crossing the 70% and 40% health lines refunds a charge of Skill 1, so being chunked is exactly what opens up both the chase and the exit. Against heal-cut items, take the exit.
These combos are not official data. They are this site's own write-up, built only from the skill data transcribed from the in-game display; nothing that the skill text does not state is included.
- Damage reduction scales up as his HP drops, making him monstrously hard to finish off
- The Ultimate refunds half its cooldown on a miss, so ganks can be thrown freely
- Skill 2 healing plus overheal-to-shield conversion wins extended trades
- The shock effect's bonus magic damage keeps him relevant against armor stackers
- Thin defenses at full HP leave him vulnerable to opening burst
- As a melee physical fighter, slows and stuns that deny his approach shut him down
- Anti-heal items strip away most of what makes him durable
Zilong lives in the jungle. Max Skill 2 first — the healing on the five-thrust combo keeps your clear healthy — and grab both buffs on the way to level 4. Keep his Passive in mind while you farm: each time your HP drops past 70% and then 40%, your damage reduction steps up and Skill 1 gets a charge refunded, which means a wounded Zilong is a stronger Zilong. The catch is that none of that protects you at full HP, so don't pick a coin-flip fight during a level-1 invade. Whatever else happens, walk into the 4:00 Tyrant fight with your Ultimate available.
From level 4, Skill 3 is your gank button. If it doesn't hit an enemy hero, half the cooldown comes back — so stop treating it as precious and throw it with conviction. What the leap itself applies is the induction mark, nothing more. The knock-up only happens when another skill connects on a marked target within 5s, and only enemies standing at the center of the area get launched. So chain fast after you land: Skill 2's five thrusts, then the Skill 1 dash, cashing in the bonus magic damage on every connect. Around seven minutes, with your first core item done, Zilong is one of the nastiest duelists on the map; he genuinely wins fights that start at half HP. Welcome the scrap. Being damaged is your Passive working as intended.
Unless he gets bursted first, late-game Zilong is the last man standing in every teamfight. The 20% damage reduction, Skill 2 healing, and overheal-to-shield conversion all stack up, and every second a brawl drags on tilts it further his way. At Shadow Tyrant and Overlord fights past ten minutes, don't be the first one in — go second, and leap onto the backline with your Ultimate after the enemy has dumped CC on your frontline. From the enemy's perspective, the worst part of fighting Zilong is watching him heal back up mid-fight with Skill 2. The one real counter is anti-heal: respect anyone who built it.
Play the late pick. Let your team take the opening exchange, watch the enemy burn their stuns and knock-ups, then use Skill 3 on the softest target you can reach. The leap applies the induction mark and nothing else. Everything after that comes from what you land inside the next 5 seconds — Skill 2's five thrusts and the Skill 1 dash each cash in bonus magic damage, and a connecting skill launches whoever is standing at the center of the area for a second. That's the reason to jump at the side where their backline is stacked. If your HP crosses a Passive threshold mid-fight, the refunded Skill 1 charge is your exit ticket or your chase tool, whichever the moment demands. Zilong is at his best in the red — just don't get cocky into a team stacking anti-heal.
Counters & Synergies
Countered-by and synergy picks are this site's own reading, based on each hero's kit. What the official app publishes is how often heroes are picked together (see "Frequently Paired With" below); it does not publish any rating of how well they match up.
Frequently Paired With
The figures are the "match rate" published by the official in-game HoK Camp: how often these heroes ended up on the same team (fetched 2026-08-14). It is not a win rate, so a higher number does not mean a stronger pairing.
First Skill to Level Up

Skills
Dragon's Roar
Hidden Dragon: When his Health is more than 70% and less than or equal to 100%, he gains 5% damage reduction.

Dragon in Flight: When his Health is more than 0% and less than or equal to 40%, he gains 20% damage reduction.
Any Health in excess of the current bracket will be converted into a permanent shield. When a shield Health bracket is full, excess shield value will be converted into Health instead.
