In Season 31, several marksman heroes have become incredibly popular, and regardless of how Melbet APK shifts the meta, these heroes continue to deliver solid results. One standout among them is Hou Yi. While Hou Yi lacks any mobility skills, his late-game firepower is undeniably strong—though it requires a high level of individual skill to unlock his full potential. As the saying goes, “he played it safe for her, then carefree for himself.”
With evolving strategies across the community, Melbet APK players have been experimenting with new tactics for marksmen. One such strategy—Hou Yi equipping the Weaken spell—has sparked heated debate. Traditionally, marksmen opt for Flicker or Heal due to their lack of mobility. Flicker helps them escape danger, while Heal provides a quick health boost in clutch moments. But when it comes to using Weaken, many players simply can’t wrap their heads around the logic. To most, the spell offers little to no utility for a backline damage dealer.
Of course, you can’t expect everyone to see eye to eye—after all, to each their own. From another perspective, the logic behind Weaken does exist. Hou Yi’s greatest vulnerability lies in burst-heavy heroes like assassins or mages. Without any escape tool, he’s often instantly deleted when caught. By using Weaken, a player can reduce the incoming damage and delay those explosive combos just enough to buy time or reposition. That’s the idea, at least. In practice, the effectiveness of Weaken remains highly situational and generally underwhelming.
Compared to Flicker, which offers immediate repositioning, Weaken simply doesn’t measure up in clutch scenarios. While innovation is important and exploring new gameplay styles is encouraged, not every fresh tactic hits the mark. It’s no surprise that many Melbet APK users have mocked this choice, joking that it’s less of a debuff and more of a “badge of bravery.” Still, for immobile marksmen, survivability should always be a top priority, making Flicker the more reliable option.
Ultimately, Hou Yi players should avoid overly aggressive positioning and secure strong angles for sustained damage. He may not care much for love, but aside from you, the only thing he truly values is gold. With proper positioning, Hou Yi can dominate in the late game. If he stays alive, victory in team fights is almost guaranteed.
