Our best Supports for beginners lists features Honor of Kings heroes that newcomers can utilize to lead their team to victory. Support class heroes might be the most complex ones to use since the overall team depends on them. They heal, buff, and apply valuable effects on allies, helping them take out enemies individually. The success of every ADC (Attack Damage Carry) character depends on the Support class heroes.

Unlike others, Support heroes require less farming to be effective in matches. However, their low HP, damage output, and mobility require maintaining a safe distance from enemy units. That said, below is the list of some of the best Supports for beginners to use and master in Honor of Kings.
