Here's a guide to master Feyd, the self-proclaimed cool guy from Jade City.
Honor of Kings introduced a new hero, Feyd, in their Season 9 update. The son of Jade City is a strong assassin who uses the power of jade to deal high damage, strong engage, and execute low health enemies. He can use the wall to enhance his mobility and attack from an unsuspected angle.
Born to royalty, Feyd, the eldest prince of Jade City, has become a household name in the city for a number of reasons. However, He is never interested in being a king or a hero. The only particular fact is his love for jade. As one known as the Jaded Son from birth, Feyd has the ability to control Soul Jade. Happy-go-lucky and frivolous on the outside, yet secretly protecting everything he loves, he will go to lengths to protect his younger brother.
Here’s a breakdown of Feyd's skills, his best equipment and arcana, and tips on how to play him effectively:
Skills breakdown
Passive: Jade Perch - View from Above
When on top of a wall, Feyd gains an increased field of vision and 70 Movement Speed, and can move freely. His Basic Attacks become ranged (and can be used while jumping), but have a longer attack interval.
When affected by hard crowd control effects while on a wall, his damage output is reduced by 15% for up to 3 stacks. This effect is removed when he gets off the wall
Skill 1: Jade Chase - Whirling Strike
Feyd moves swiftly and surely, dealing (300 to 600+100% extra Physical Attack) physical damage to enemies in his path and launching them for 0.75 seconds (deals 50 per cent extra damage to monsters). At the same time, he gains 50% Attack Speed and enhances his subsequent 2 Basic Attacks. Enhanced Basic Attacks deal (75+20% extra Physical Attack) physical damage and recover (110+2% extra Health) health.
Skill 2: Stepping on Jade
Feyd leaps onto the target wall. When on the wall, he may use Stepping on Jade again to jump to another nearby wall. Stocks 1 use of the skill every 8 seconds, for up to 4 uses.
Ultimate: Hardened Jade Mark
Feyd swings his jade blade in a horizontal sweep around him, dealing (270 to 540+65% extra Physical Attack) physical damage and marking all targets with Keen Jade. Use of this skill also activates Hardened Jade Strike, where Feyd sheaths his blade, gains vision of the marked targets and slashes each target 4 times as the marks shatter.
The first three slashes each deal (140 to 280+35% extra Physical Attack) physical damage and restore (60 to 120+1% extra Health) Health, while the fourth slash doubles the damage and recovered Health. The lower Feyd's Health is, the more Health he recovers, up to double the base value.
When a target's Health falls below 14%, they will be instantly defeated by the fourth slash. When on a wall, he can use Hardened Jade Seal to jump down from the wall.
Arcana
This build uses four Arcana for Feyd: 10 Stealth, 10 Eagle Eye, 8 Mutation, and 2 Red Moon. These Arcana focus on enhancing his Physical Pierce and Physical Damage in the early game. The bonus Movement and Attack Speed give Feyd a healthy amount of mobility while on ground. The 1% Critical Rate enables him to surprise his opponent with a sudden burst of damage.
Equipment

Situational: Sage's Sanctuary and Destiny
These are essential situational items for the late game. Sage’s Sanctuary provides a second life, while Destiny prevents him from dying for a few seconds.
How to play Feyd
Feyd is a deadly assassin when he reaches level 4. In the early game, look to gank the enemy Farm Lane or work with your Midlaner for easy kills using Hardened Jade Mark. His execute mechanic is very powerful in the early game, and prevents the enemy from living with a sliver of health if timed right.
In the mid game, he can one-shot the enemy backline using his Jade Chase - Whirling Strike, Basic Attack, and Hardened Jade Mark combo. Try to position yourself with Jade Perch before committing to the enemy backline so their Crowd Control doesn't hit him when he does his combo.
Feyd is a deadly assassin that relies on timing and perfect movement. Any wasted movement when he is on the wall amounts to fewer opportunities for him to get away when he needs to. Try to find a route where he can use his engage without using too much Jade Perch.
