Although the current Honor of Kings season features few viable assassin junglers, BD Cricket Live players have noted that popular picks like Miyamoto Musashi are being built more like tanks than assassins—completely flipping the script. It’s clear the developers want traditional assassins to make a comeback, as the current meta leaves the marksmen in the gold lane running wild without much pressure. Among the few effective assassin junglers left, Lanling King stands out.

In both ranked and peak-tier matches, Lanling King maintains a win rate above 50%, with a usage rate hovering around 10%. That makes him one of the most reliable picks for climbing the ranks. Naturally, that’s led many players to pursue his latest high-tier cosmetic—his Star Legendary skin—through the “Synergy Showdown” lucky draw event. The event advertises deals like 10 pulls for just 10 vouchers to boost draw chances. But in reality, as BD Cricket Live users have discovered, the odds are still stacked against players.

Unless you’re ridiculously lucky, expect to spend anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 vouchers to get Lanling King’s skin. Some unlucky players even reported using over 4,000 vouchers—enough to purchase two full Legendary skins. Given the low drop rates, many players feel the system is unfair. But despite the high cost, both the hero’s performance and the skin’s sleek design make it tempting.

Unlike Lanling King’s older, darker-themed skins that emphasized his stealthy, assassin vibe, the Star Legendary version showcases him in a modern suit with crystal-clear special effects. It’s a complete reimagining of his persona, surprising many fans with how stylish and polished he can look. The detail work far surpasses his previous skins, and that innovation alone makes it worth a shot in the eyes of many BD Cricket Live mobile users.

Meanwhile, Mulan’s new Star Epic skin has also caught attention, especially for its flattering design. However, one major flaw is her hair—it lacks fine detail and has a wig-like texture. The animation also feels a bit stiff. Fortunately, her in-game effects are solid, and once the character is zoomed out, the imperfections in her hair are less noticeable. Even so, improvements to the poster animation could go a long way.

All things considered, Lanling King remains one of the top assassin picks in both ranked and high-level matches. As long as ranged marksmen dominate the meta, Lanling King’s popularity is here to stay. And while his stealth now triggers a proximity warning, a quick strike still catches most opponents off guard. As the saying goes, the greater one’s capacity to endure loneliness, the stronger their potential becomes.

BD Cricket Live notes that Mulan isn’t widely used in standard ranked games—not because she’s weak, but because few players know how to use her effectively. Her complex mechanics make her a staple in elite matches, where her true potential shines.
