On February 8th, Honor of Kings welcomed the arrival of the boy who carries the light of the fireflies – Sakeer. Sakeer is a versatile Mage hero in Honor of Kings, known for his ability to assist allies, control fights and deal a significant amount of magical damage. This roamer has the potential to become a formidable support which can be maximized by an effective build. Being a special-grade character, Sakeer can only be purchased by HOK Tokens, which you can get from TOPUPlive, the most reputed and trusted in-game currency seller on the web.
Lore
Originating from the valley of Ghabet Firefly, Sakeer was a curious child who always wondered about the world outside the valley. His tribe, which had been isolated for centuries, only had ancestral stories to quench Sakeer's curiosity. When there were no stories left to tell him, he embarked on a journey, equipped with his family's storybook and a wooden sword from his father, to gather new tales and experiences from the world.
#Sakeer's new skin "Painted Travels" is now on sale and can be bought for 60 tokens. This skin will add to the allure of the already breathtaking character, enhancing your gameplay. Players need to buy Honor of Kings tokens to buy special characters, skins, and especially Honor Pass.
Overview
Sakeer's skill set is centred around healing and sustained magical damage. He contributes to the battle as a support, but he also balances well between offensive attacks and tactical healing. Here is a breakdown of Sakeer's kit:
Supermassive Skills
Passive Skill: Firefly Protection
This is Sakeer's basic attack, which allows him to summon a wave of frightening fireflies that do more than just harm the enemies. These fireflies deal melee damage along with revealing the enemy's location for a short time.
Sakeer also can heal his teammates at critical times. He can also heal himself by charging his main attack when there are no enemies nearby.
Skill 1: Mulberry Power
This skill allows Sakeer to channel Luminous energy into a target area. This skill has a dual nature as it has different effects for both enemies and allies. The allies caught up in the targeted area will receive damage and will be launched into the air for one second. On the other hand, the allies present in the area will receive healing.
Skill 2: Ride the Wind
This mobility skill allows Sakeer to accomplish two things at once.
Dash: Sakeer flies to a designated bush on the map
Firefly Seekers: Sakeer releases fireflies that hunt the nearby hero, if they find an enemy, they deal damage, and if it's an ally, they heal him.
Ultimate Skill: Firefly Fields
Sakeer can store up to three charges of this skill which allows him to summon fireflies every second for a short duration. Sakeer also needs to summon an Illuminating Brush at a targeted location, which he can fly upon the activation of his skill. The enemies that step into the targeted bush will be revealed, and the generated fireflies will spread, granting healing to the allies and damage to the enemies.
Sakeer's Build
Like any hero in the game, Sakeer's build also requires equipping him with appropriate spells, suitable Arcana, and powerful equipment to get the maximum output. The best build for this hero is given below:
Spells
Spells depend on the player's playstyle and the match scenario, but the best ones for Sakeer that will be effective in every situation are as follows:
Flash
This spell instantly teleports Sakeer to a short distance. It helps in repositioning fights, escaping dangerous attacks, and chasing enemies. It helps in survivability and is a must for aggressive plays.
Disrupt
This spell helps to disable enemy turrets temporarily. If your team possesses strong tower-diving heroes, this spell can secure kills under enemy turrets, so it is a situational skill.
Heal
This spell allows Sakeer to restore health to nearby allies and increase movement speed. This is a support spell as it helps in sustaining teammates in difficult fights, making it useful in team-based game plays.
Sprint
This is the best spell for mobility as it increases movement speed for a few seconds. It is useful for escaping fights, quick repositioning, and chasing enemies.
Arcana
It is crucial to select the appropriate Arcana to optimize Sakeer's performance. Some recommended Arcana setups are listed below:
1st Setup
This setup maximizes Sakeer's health, defense, and ability uptime, making him a resilient and supportive hero on the battlefield.
- Fate x 10 (enhances durability and basic attack efficiency)
- Void x 10 (allows more frequent use of abilities)
- Harmony x 10 (increases survivability and mobility)
2nd Setup
This setup ensures that Sakeer lives long enough to heal and disrupt enemies. He has enhanced survivability which means that he can take more damage before dying.
- Longevity x 10 (Increases max HP)
- Void x 10 (decreases the cooldown of abilities)
- Fate x 10 (boosts physical defense and attack speed)
Equipment
Selecting the most suitable equipment is essential to enhance Sakeer's performance. Here is a breakdown of the recommended builds that optimize his durability, healing, and utility:
Crimson Shadow – Radiance

This wave lasts for 2 seconds and also reveals the heroes hidden in the bushes.

Boots of the Arcane
It enhances movement speed, making it useful for quick repositioning. It also provides mana regeneration every 5 seconds to ensure that the skill is available when needed.

Stats:
- +25 Mana every 5 seconds
- +60 Movement Speed
- +100 Magical Pierce
Overlord's Platemail
This equipment boosts Sakeer's physical and magical defense, adding to his durability. It also increases maximum health while providing health regeneration every second, which is doubled when he is not under attack. This allows him to stay active in fights for a longer duration.
Stats:
- +100 Physical Defense
- +50 Magical Defense
- +1,500 Max Health
- +0.5% health recovery every second
Breakthrough Robe
It increases magical attack and maximum health while providing magical pierce to enhance damage output. This makes him ideal against teams that deal high damage.

Other pieces of equipment like Frozen Breath and Mask of Agony are also suitable for Sakeer as they enhance magical attack, increase maximum health, and improve movement speed along with dealing additional damage.
Conclusion
Sakeer is a unique mage who can heal both himself and his team, making him suitable for both independent and team-based playstyles. His mechanics are a pain to master and require a lot of patience, but it is all worth it. Sakeer can heal, deal with damage, and even control the battlefield if played properly. He is an invaluable addition to your team and can even lead a losing match to victory with his skilled yet terrifying fireflies.
