After watching countless Honor of Kings esports tournaments, one thing is clear to us – pro players aren’t just choosing strong heroes; they’re stepping in with style and intent. The right skin doesn’t just look good, it boosts confidence, sets the tone and can even throw opponents off before the first skill is cast.

We tracked the most-used hero and skin combos from many tournaments to find picks that are popular but also battle-proven and built for the spotlight. From icy elegance to rhythmic chaos, these five skins define the pro scene right now – read on to find out how to use each one like a champ!

This skin turns Allain into a glowing knight, wrapped in white and gold armour with a divine blade. It’s a top pick for pros who want to dominate duels with style.
Key skill: Meteor Kill is a forward dash that slices through enemies and knocks them into the air, setting up Allain’s full combo.
Pro tip: Open with Meteor Kill, then flow into attacks and your ultimate. Smooth chaining is the key to unlocking his full power.

A pro-favourite skin that adds elegance to Dolia’s control-heavy gameplay. Her flowing dress and glowing book give her a calm, commanding presence.
Key skill: Ode releases four sound waves; the final one slows heavily, and when near water, it knocks enemies back.
Pro tip: Use near water for knockback control. Pair it with her stuns to dominate positioning in fights.

This skin cloaks Musashi in black and red, turning him into a sleek and deadly assassin with blades that leave ghostly trails.
Key skill: Dual Slash lets Musashi dash quickly and empowers his next basic attack, ideal for gap-closing or dodging.
Pro tip: Apply pressure by dashing in and out. Save your ultimate to finish off weakened enemies.

Lady Zhen glides in icy elegance with this skin, making her look as chilling as her crowd control gameplay.
Key skill: Ocean of Tears summons an icicle that explodes after contact and grants brief invincibility if she touches it.
Pro tip: Cast it to dodge key abilities or bait enemies into overextending, then punish hard.

Bright and bold, this skin showcases Mayene’s dance-like fighting style with colourful energy and fast kicks.
Key skill: Spinning Kick deals damage and knocks enemies back, giving her space to reposition or interrupt foes.
Pro tip: Stick to hit-and-run tactics. Use mobility to stay slippery and in control.
