This Tank-Support Beast: Role, Gear, and How He Plays
Lapu-Lapu's your frontline tank-support with CC (crowd control), zippy mobility, and tanky survivability. Gear screams Filipino history: Kampilan sword for vortex damage and slides, Kalasag shield packing Bakunawa CC and defense buffs, plus 14th–15th century Visayan armor with red sun/wave/scale accents.
Play him aggressive. Slide in with Kampilan, chain Kalasag CC. Sustain your carries with that armor. In teamfights, lock down 2-3 enemies—data shows 55% win rate in pushy comps. Rock the full Visayan set for 15-20% early-game tankiness. (Pro tip from the editor: Pair him with divers; he peels like a dream.)
Stocking up? buy Honor of Kings tokens on BitTopup—lowest rates, top-ups in minutes, secure as hell, global servers, quick support, 99% success.
