Analysis of the Trigger Mechanism and Application Scenarios of the Cloud Pulling Rope in the World of Honor of Kings

Honor of Kings: World has designed a novel action combat mechanism, incorporating many action-oriented combat modes such as combo skills, dodging, and blocking. A simple change in the sequence of actions can potentially affect the outcome of the battle. Below, the editor will release a guide for the Cloud Tether in Honor of Kings: World. The Cloud Tether is one of the core auxiliary combat mechanisms, positioned as an aerial displacement and tactical control tool, adding to the fun of competition.

The operation to trigger the Cloud Tether is by holding down to charge + aiming in a direction. When the player holds the skill button, the character enters the aiming moment; releasing it fires the grappling hook towards the targeted point, allowing a brief hover during the pulling phase. The charging time determines the range, with full charge expected to reach about half the screen.

The cooldown for the Cloud Tether is around 8-12 seconds, triggered by consuming stamina, thus limiting its consecutive use.

In terms of combat application, when facing area-of-effect (AOE) skills from groups, such as a boss's shockwave or 360-degree sweep, players can aim at fixed anchor points beside the battlefield, like stone pillars or floating platforms, to quickly escape the danger zone. Additionally, during the pulling phase, they can connect with regular attacks to trigger aerial combos. For elite monsters with weak spots on their backs, players can use the Cloud Tether to move behind them and trigger a weak spot attack.

As seen above, the exploration applications of the Cloud Tether in Honor of Kings: World, especially in high-elevation scenes like the Jixia Academy, can be used to unlock hidden paths. For example, aiming at a protruding stone platform 3 meters high on the outer wall of the Tower of Heaven to trigger climbing. During nighttime adventures, players should pay attention to glowing vines to find interactive anchor points. When encountering cave entrances hidden by waterfalls, the Cloud Tether can also be used to cross the water and reach the interior. In the future, a second-stage pull might be added, allowing reactivation within 5 seconds after the first hit on an anchor point, for further movement to a more distant target.
